jo's Debate Cliff Notes
- Thread starter Here_4_a_Day
- Start date
Consider the source.
I'm a liberal Democrat but if you don't think people are pissed about prices and buying power, you're deluded. Obviously everyone here is a billionaire but others are struggling. Biden has done nothing to address this rage. Go to your mall and see how many stores are shuttered. You can say trump's policy led to it, pandemic etc but it's a death spiral and Biden is in deep shit.
For reals.
It's funny, OP, but no props or notes allowed.
Ross Perot wouldn't have had a chance under that condition.
Amazon and other online shopping has nothing to do with those stores closing? All Biden’s fault?
Sure but that's only part of the picture. Things are accelerating. Look at Walgreens news today.
Blame Amazon for malls closing. Hell Coral Ridge took out the CR malls and Old Capitol/Sycamore in IC. It happens. Walgreens, while seeing some decline due to prices and people watching their budget, but mostly because of the pharmacy industry due to costly regulations and insufficient reimbursements. Walgreens is also saturated. There 2 in CR that are two blocks from each other, with a CVS mixed in between them. My insurance makes me buy prescription through CVS.
Walgreen’s is getting what it deserves. Walgreen’s destroyed more business in America than it created with its partnership with Big Pharnacy to replace Main Street drug stores with corporate pharmacies, hiking if drug prices and the rise of RX insurance. Walgreen’s/Osco….good riddance.
This is accurate. People are pissed about prices and buying power. Anyone who doesn't see this is absolutely deluded.
I'll add this . . . the people who are pissed off about prices and buying power who are laying blame at the feet of the current U.S. President are absolutely deluded.
I just saw last week that restaurant business is having its strongest year (to date) ever…and it was the Amer Restaurant Assn. who released this…
The only restaurant problems I have seen are in the “help” area…but that’s another story for another day. Not me….there story.
Why shouldn't Biden get part of the blame? Did he not push through, and sign off on an extra $2T in one time deficit spending, and extra $1T+ in deficit baseline spending? Those actions cause inflation, which the fed tries to fight with recession causing measures.
Spot on!! If you believe the president caused any of this. Meaning Trump or Biden you're also deluded. However, Americans aren't al that smart anymore.
LOL you might want to go back to Trump and his massive tax break to the rich that couldn't be paid for.
- Costs are up: 98% of operators say higher labor costs are an issue for their restaurant. 97% cite higher food costs. 38% say their restaurants were not profitable last year.

They are going to gross more, the prediction is 1 trillion. That doesn't mean they are going to be more profitable.
And capitalizes every word except the one proper noun.
I love you Joel but that take is just plain wrong. Large restaurants like Red Lobster etc. are failing. Rubios Grill on the west coast and hell even Hooters. Hooters = Murica and it's failing. Who doesn't like shit food and women who are ashamed to be working there. Anyways, look for more retail apocalypse soon. No end in sight.
Again…. Their words not mine….

So if he does well it’s not PED’s it’s because he is a robot? Smh
….
I’ll just be shocked if he ends the debate without asking the moderator where he is.
Yeah, that’s not going to happen either. If he is clear and on top of things will you believe that’s the real Joe?
Always
the one in des Moines was actually kind of sad.Did he pass a drug test today?
What kind of uppers do you think his Weekend at Bernie’s handlers have him on tonight? Probably some new age micro-dose meth is my guess.
I love how people use that "Tax cut that couldn't be paid for term". A tax cut isn't spending, and the government doesn't automatically own our money. I wasn't in favor of the cuts, but they were in place well before Biden and his Congress went crazy with their spending. OH, and let's not forget the other major driver of consumer inflation - energy policy.
What was the consumer inflation rate the day Biden took office? I'm OK with 1.4% inflation.
It's called politics.
Party 1: "We will raise social security benefits 10%!"
Party 2: "We will raise social security benefits too, but we think it should be 8%."
Party 1: "PARTY 2 WANTS TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY!"
They were in place LONG before Trump and his Republican Congress went on their spending binge as well, Finance. As well as many of the cuts Trump made to the budget, which had to be “re-financed” after the Covid break-out and to re-establish the supply chains after Covid.
The old and tired supply chain excuse. Prices can't go up if the money supply isn't expanded.
