    The inflation was not caused by the tax cuts or Donald Trump, so the fact that it happened is not actually a legitimate criticism of the tax cuts. Yes, that's the way it worked out after COVID happened but that doesn't mean they are connected.

    Do you think I support Donald Trump for some reason? Why? You've been corrected on this point nearly a dozen times now by my count.

    It's not binary. The tax cuts contributed to inflation. But, more importantly, they contributed to increasing the debt and THAT contributed to, not only inflation, but erosion of other economic indicators that affect the middle class. The small temporary benefit the middle class received with the tax cuts was paid back many times over.

    Good point. The mob must support the mob, the little guy be damned.

    From your quote: "Knowing the origin of COVID-19 is fundamental to helping predict and prevent future pandemics."

    Correct!

    Instead of that YOU say: "China created it"

    There is no certainty as to the origin of Covid 19... but, created or not, espousing wild CONSPIRACY theories like you do, doesn't help.

    Having said that, more to the point, regardless of how Covid originated, the CHAOS was created by Trump, and nobody but Trump.

    I'm sure he'd think the same of you. So, the comment is rather meaningless.
    Feel free to substantiate claims of fact.
    Rants are week arguments, the kind of crap some yahoo in a bar mouths off and won't shut up. That's how your comment reads.

    His reason is sound. Trump is not good for labor, Biden is.

    I don't know. YOU just quoted somebody saying (which you obviously didn't read) that it's fundamental to find out.

    The FIRST step in finding out something is with not knowing the answer. Because if you KNOW the answer already... why bother? You say you already know the answer. So your position opposes what you quoted.

    No, I obviously read it ALL, understood it, and did focus on one aspect of the link.. Go back and put a lil more effort into it while using some common sense..

    The left still capable of that??

    Try using the ODDS... If common sense rules the left they'd not even need a link ;)

    Clearly you didn't very far in to the link ;)

    Which why it so difficult to teach a leftist anything they are firmly convinced they already know everything never mind that most of what little the do know is wrong. High prices are finally doing what they always do, dumping demand quarterly GDP came in at 1.6 a little more than half what was predicted China is look at devaluing the yuan Japan is buying gold everyone's crap is falling apart because all these geniuses that thought they new every thing don't.

    So you admit you cherry-pick from text you YOURSELF quote. That's what I thought.... Just be aware, for next time, that doing that doesn't quite project an image of being seeking a serious debate.

    HAHA, THE WORKING-CLASS JOE ACT ISN’T WORKING ANYMORE. SORT A LIKE JOE.

    Reporter: “What’s your message to Joe Biden?”
    Union Worker: “**** You.”

    Well said!

    The talking heads (Money grubbers) tell a much different story than their union members do :)

    Which doesn't equate unions with members. I was refuting that simple point
    I was only addressing your comment: Exactly the opposite: workers have abandoned unions.

    According to my post depicting the complex relationships between unions and members, that's not always the case. I agree that I could have clarified that better.
    Well I guess I'm drawing a division between American citizens and people that have just come to the US that may or may not be citizens, but are certainly recent immigrants. I don't equate the two groups.

    North America’s Building Trades Unions is endorsing President Biden for 2024

    A union supports the democrat candidate. Now there is an epiphany.

    The union leadership always does the rank and file not so much.
