Quote: Very true. My first 401K got going under Clinton. It has done good ever since despite twists and turns as you say. It has always gone up overall. The economy to me, is more of a measure of how the super rich are doing. Sure, employment might be low but what are people getting paid vs what does daily life cost for the average American? Inflation is back down but the prices are still up. I got my usual raise this year while prices on daily life rose rapidly for a while and they remain high. Only the quick rise has stabilized. I am fortunate. My wife and I are older, educated, have good jobs and make a very comfortable living. Many were already living paycheck to paycheck, are struggling harder due to last years inflation. They're employed still but did they get a raise to match inflation? Fuck no they didn't. But hey, the economy is doing good as long as the fat cats are making lots of money. Trump is a straight up criminal. He is blatantly corrupt. He is not a self made man. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he got his start thanks to his dad who loaned him millions. Had somebody loaned me millions and helped me avoid the draft, I'd be doing very well for myself either. He has not once in his life ever lived like the common man. He doesn't give two shits about the military, veterans, women, or anybody but himself. He is a blatant sociopath. He's manipulated the system his whole life. It's easy when you're born rich I suppose. I pay more taxes than that asshole does. It's a sham. I drive around the midwest and see rathole houses with Trump flags flying out front. Trump doesn't give a shit about those people. They're merely stepping stones for him. Easily manipulated into believing that he understands what their life is like or that he has their best interests in mind. Despite all this, his nut swingers will come out and defend all of the horrible shit he does and point out that somebody else made millions in their business dealings. I admittedly don't know much about Nikki Haley. I hear her talk and despite some of the stupid shit she has said or that she sometimes says the same regurgitated GOP bull shit that keeps her in the running, I feel like deep down in there somewhere, there might be a little empathy for the common American and maybe a shred of common sense. When I hear Trump talk, I hear a blow hard, full of shit, sociopathic egomaniac who doesn't give a shit about anybody but himself. He's vile. He doesn't have any real morals at all. I can see right through his lies and bull shit. I don't understand why so many people are taken in by him and actually believe the lies he tells on the regular. He's an excellent con man. I'll give him that. For me, if it's Trump and Biden on the ticket, I'm not even interested in hearing what those assholes have to say. I'll be voting for Biden because he's not as big of a piece of shit human as Trump is. Same with a Biden and DeSantis election. DeSantis is a wannabe authoritarian piece of trash as well. I'll just do something else and go vote for Biden when the time comes. But if it's a Biden/Haley election, I'll pay attention and see what she has to say. I'll go with my gut on who is the better human to represent our country. Well... I'll go with my gut on who I think will do the least damage. I'll likely still vote for Biden but I'll give Haley a listen for sure. Biden doesn't use a bunch of divisive language. I get that many don't like his policies even though some have been effective despite what the right wing, Trump nut swingers are saying on Fox. Haley doesn't use a lot of divisive language either. At least from what I've seen of her. I am so sick of all that shit in America. Dividing us up. I feel like if Haley were to be president, the right wingers could have a few years to cool down with a Republican in the White House and maybe she wouldn't try to rip us apart further in the meantime. Not saying that she's the answer. I'm interested in the long game for America. Not what's best for ME, right now. For my children and grandchildren. I worry what kind of future they will have.
