Destroying Civilization

And they'll blame...

How is it that pharmaceutical companies released several vaccines and treatments against the coronavirus so quickly but still no treatment against TDS that affects many more people?

So you're dissatisfied we'll still be using oil?

No. I'm dissatisfied because Western Civilization could collapse. Leftists seem to think the collapse might lead to the rise of Marxism. More likely civilization will revert to primitive tribalism.

Then why collapse it? It's Republican policies that are truly driving us toward that end as a society.

tell me how they are plz. I would love to know

Possible causes of the collapse of Western Civilization: Destroying the rule of law and the Constitution. Eliminating free and fair elections. Eliminating energy and food supply because of "climate change." Creating social divisions, and polarization.

Mostly through decades of decimating the tax base while driving up spending and refusing to pass budgets unless they include austerity measures that cost far more in the long run than they propose to save.

Then you had Trump show up and impose a whole new level of fiscal ineptitude by starting a bunch of trade wars he had no plans to win, unnecessarily driving up prices for American consumers with his stupid tariffs.

What was the inflation rate under Trump? What is the inflation rate under Biden? Is China dumping steel, etc. on world markets undercutting domestic production and creating dependence? Is China stealing intellectual property? Is China using military and economic power to bully other countries? I don't know. You tell me.

The inflation rate and interest rates both bottomed out under Trump because in bungling the pandemic, he sent the economy into a nosedive, stalled the supply chain causing countless companies to go out of business, ballooned the monetary supply by $4T, and removed tens of millions of workers from the US labor pool (3.5 million permanently so).

So yeah, inflation went through the roof when the world started working again after he was booted from office. The demand for labor increased while the supply has only recently returned to pre-pandemic levels, resulting in steep wage increases once business owners figured out it "for what I'm trying to pay" follows their whines of "nobody wants to work". The cost of fuel and raw materials, already artificially inflated by Trump's idiotic tariffs and deal with OPEC to raise prices, also went up.

And yet you want to blame Biden for the inflation...

And yeah, we should have tariffs on China, but your bumbling idiot threw them at anyone he felt had insulted him personally, which meant most of our allies because he was a clown and that was immediately evident anytime he was around actual world leaders.

well CraigThompson can say it better than me but Biden has caused so much inflation by handing out stimulus checks of money to everyone and, I'm not joking, getting Cane's for four people costs like over 20 dollars now. Besides the fact that Biden is just giving away money to Ukraine like it's nothing.

Government can print as much money as it wants and won't affect anything because the government determines the value of money. Someone actually said this to me at a party. Where do people get this illogical nonsense?

If printing money is a bad policy, why support its worst offenders?

Trump added an additional $4T to the money supply during his last year in office alone, while it's only increased by a net of $1T under Biden ($2T increase between '21-'22 followed by $1T decrease in '23).

the government probably

Who handed out stimulus checks again? I seem to remember them being delayed by several weeks because the President wanted to make sure his name was printed in the memo field...

Also, money we "give away" to Ukraine goes directly to American companies who pay American workers to build munitions using American-sourced raw materials. You'd think after licking the boot for this long, you'd have been able to make out the "Made in America" label with your tongue.

And by design, no less...
