What do words like decrease and decline mean? 3rd straight year of depression

American households' income fell last year as their cost of living jumped higher than it has in over four decades amid soaring inflation and marking the third straight annual decline since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

It means the gap between the haves (owners) and have-nots (working stiffs) has grown larger. It means we need more unions. It means we need higher taxes on the 1%. It means we need more government welfare. (If none of these appeal to you it means you are a rethuglican and you really know very well what they mean but you just don't care and you hope the blame goes to Biden instead of where it squarely belongs, congress). It also means that corporations since they became "people" have acted like greedy swine. And there's no "depression" going on, you idiot--please look up how a depression is defined. It's a sign of low intellect when someone used words that they don't know the definition of, not that we couldn't tell you were a moron from all the other stuff you write.

More unions mean less work that goes to the regular people in having to pay more to get something.

reply

"regular" people support unions because they all want fair pay and benefits. So you want to return to 1920s style capitalism where the board room decides all those things? Just how old are you, if I may ask?

reply

The work ethic of 1920's unions was different than the loafers of today.

Lol you do! Are you 85, 90? and want to relive when "Those Were the Days?" (1920s unions? Um, a little off on your history there:
"The Wagner Bill proposed to create a new independent agency—the National Labor Relations Board, made up of three members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate-to enforce employee rights rather than to mediate disputes. It gave employees the right, under Section 7, to form and join unions, and it obligated employers to bargain collectively with unions selected by a majority of the employees in an appropriate bargaining unit. The measure endorsed the principles of exclusive representation and majority rule, provided for enforcement of the Board's rulings, and covered most workers in industries whose operations affected interstate commerce.
Wagner's Bill passed the Senate in May 1935, cleared the House in June, and was signed into law by President Roosevelt on July 5, 1935. A new national labor policy was born."

Was Trump so bad we'd rather suffer with sky high inflation, border invasion, climate change lies, child mutilation agenda, trans ideology, human trafficking, schools doused in Marxism, WW3, protection of CCP? How much longer before our infrastructure starts collapsing...dams and bridges? They tax us and pocket the money for favors and bribes. We're pushing 2 trillion in debt. C'mon America, enough is enough. The GOP has to start talking about kitchen table issues, expose the corruption, and put it on social media. Ads on tv are limited in reach.
