  1. One passed 100%. One was split on party lines and Obamas economic advisor disagrees.
  2. It was much simpler than that. Dismissing and or ignoring the information below, decided the election. The rest is noise. The typical American household must spend an additional $11,434 annually just to maintain the same standard of living they enjoyed in January of 2021, right before inflation soared to 40-year highs, according to a recent analysis of government data. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/inflation-households-need-extra-11400-these-states-its-even-higher/ The middle class wasn’t treading water, they were drowning
  3. Steven Rattner, who served as counselor to the Treasury secretary in the Obama administration, issued a scathing op-ed Tuesday saying Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, passed in March, was the "original sin" that contributed materially to today’s inflation, which hit the highest annual rate since November 1990, according to the Labor Department. There were signs, the wealthy and large businesses easily absorbed the rapid inflation, while the other 80% of the population and small businesses could not.
  4. Do you honestly believe this? The mass majority of Americans don’t.
  5. Lol. No this is evidence of media manipulation to paint these voters as dumb and uniformed. It is propaganda and it works. It was created to make their base feel better about themselves and imply the opposition is stupid. Is violent crime up under Biden? (“All time high is added to get the result desired) Yes Biden’s inflation average over 4 years was over 5% against Trump’s 1.9% (over the last year, not last 4 years) Biden’s 4 year term saw record number of illegal crossings. (Over the last few months before an election-lol) This is being posted all over the CR as some sort of validation. Just proof it works.
  6. I assume they are having the same issues with the money set aside to build EV charging stations/infastrure?
  7. Manipulative questions designed to get a desired result. 1. Remove the caveat “all time highs”, and they are correct, violent crime is up. 2. Change “over the last year” to the “last 4 years” and they are correct again. 5+% Biden vs 1.9% Trump (4 yr avg) 3. What do the numbers look like when adjusted for the 4 years of inflation? IDK 4.Change ” over the last few months” to “last 4 years” and again, they are correct. Lies, damn lies and statistics. Oldest game in the book. Great example to show how the media manipulates to imply these people are stupid/uniformed.
  8. Have the Chase/Burrow stack in Dynasty league and they have the crazy bonus point system. Burrow: 64.7 Chase: 70.40 Average winning score in league is about 115
  9. Really hits home with the middle and working class.
  10. A 1000% premium increase in the last 10 years says why not?
  11. Self employed insurance for a family of 4 runs about $3k a month. We are already there.
  12. Statistics. How you ask the question is key. 1.Violent crime is up under Biden. Near all time highs? No. We still don't have the revised numbers from 23 or 24 "To give people an idea of the size of the change, when the 2022 data came out in September 2023, they initially reported that violent crime had fallen by 2.1% in 2022.… That's the final data, supposedly, for 2022. The revision of that final data that came out last month (October 2024), now claims that rather than the 2.1% drop, that there was actually a 4.5% increase in violent crime that occurred in 2022. That's a 6.6 percentage point change there," Lott told Fox News Digital. 2. Inflation has declined to near historic averages after 3 years of historic highs. Average Year-Over-Year Inflation Biden vs Trump 5.2% vs 1.9 % An average of the year-over-year inflation rate for all months of each presidential term. Carter 1977 - 1981 9.9% Ford 1974 - 1977 8% Biden 2021 - 5.2% Nixon 1969 - 1974 5.7% Reagan 1981 - 1989 4.6% H.W. Bush 1989 - 1993 4.3% W. Bush 2001 - 2009 2.8% LBJ 1963 - 1969 2.6% Clinton 1993 - 2001 2.6% Trump 2017 - 2021 1.9% Obama 2009 - 2017 1.4% Eisenhower 1953 - 1961 1.4% JFK 1961 - 1963 3. Stock Market - about the only thing working the last 4 years, I have no idea what the gains look like when adjusted for inflation 4. "over the last few months" - before an election, not the past 4 years
  13. When do they make their decision? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-ask-new-york-appeals-court-toss-nearly-500-mln-civil-fraud-judgment-2024-09-26/ Members of the five-judge panel on the Appellate Division - the mid-level state appellate court hearing arguments in Trump's appeal - appeared concerned about possible overreach by James. Two of the judges interrupted Judith Vale, the lawyer arguing for New York, during her opening statement to ask if there were any other examples of the state suing over private business transactions between sophisticated parties under a law aimed at protecting market integrity. "Every case that you cite involves damage to consumers, damage to the marketplace," Justice David Friedman told Vale. "We don't have anything like that here," Friedman added, saying that nobody "lost any money."
  14. The no name Republican got a 32% of the vote which seems shocking. It took SF and LA two terms to kick out their DA trash, hopefully he is primaried next term or removed via lawsuit. Austin always trails behind these California cities and trends.
  15. She was the best CC member Austin had, which is sad. District will get what they vote for.
  16. With UPS no longer shipping Firearms from individuals, are gun stores/FFL holders offering shipping services?
