How is this possible when the information is more readily available than ever? It' silly to say Biden is responsible for packaging this easily verifiable information in a candy wrapper for consumption. Disinformation and the willingness to gobble it up by even moderate voters seems to be the only answer.
May 22, 20241 yr Because everything f'ing costs more. Pretty simple. People don't understand economics but they understand paying more than they used to pay.

It's absolutely because when it comes to "news" and "facts" it's very much a "choose your own adventure" world now.

No. That's an answer to why voters think the economy is bad or any other subjective question. But more people than ever have their money tied up in the stock market and they should know offhand if it sup or down. More people are tuned into inflation and unemployment data. Its the disinformation campaigns that put up fake stats or discredit the ones we have always used. People like you are always brain dead reposting straight up lies about these numbers and believing them.

Deal with it. People aren't checking their investments or unemployment statistics on a daily basis. They're buying stuff and it costs too much.
May 22, 20241 yr Just now, Mike31mt said: People aren't checking their investments I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to check mine often when my 401k is through the roof like it has been since Biden was elected.

You're the first schmuck that would have answered incorrectly to every single one of those questions. You belong to a class of historically illiterate Americans on Economic data.

Disinformation and the willingness to gobble it up by even moderate voters seems to be the only answer. Because people are lazier and stupider than ever. And they get fed news that reinforces their pre-conceived notions. This isn't saying that people are negative on the economy...it's just being demonstrably wrong about basic facts. The dumbing down of America has accelerated rapidly.

I'd make a joke about inflation here, but I really don't want to trigger you all into another 7 page dissertation about the cost of a pound of chicken and who needs it

You belong to a class of historically illiterate Americans on Economic data. You literally asked and answered your own question but I'm the schmuck. "How is it possible that people not know this when they can check their investments or look at unemployment statistics???" People don't perform this level of analysis on a daily basis, they buy groceries and look at the receipt and come to their conclusions.

Yes Mike, you're the schmuck, because you would have answered all of those questions incorrectly. I am not the schmuck for trying to explain why you and so many others would answer incorrectly. So what's your excuse? You're exposed to these #'s all the time in here.

You literally came in here asking how it was possible for people not to answer correctly and I gave you an answer. Now you're acting like I'm the one who asked and you're tired of explaining the answer to me. You're either drunk or stupid

May 23, 20241 yr The filings show the Save America leadership PAC, which Trump has used as a legal slush fund, owes $1.1 million to five different law firms and last month paid nearly $3.3 million more for legal consulting, with its biggest debt – $837,000 – owed to Blanche Law, the firm founded by his lead counsel in the hush money trial, reported The Daily Beast. The PAC paid nearly $854,000 to defense counsel Todd Blanche's firm over two weeks in April, when his Manhattan criminal trial began, and the attorney also represents him in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case and his federal election interference case in D.C. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-legal-debt/?u=b0996b56d819606882af7b1ff010a2ecfa9aa6ccffdc12d6ac564ffca3768ffd
