Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Good still costs way too fucking much though.
This just isnt the winning metric Bidens campaign hopes it is.
More jobs aren't great when people need two or three each to survive. Fix wages yesterday already.
Blame Congress
Best we'll ever be willing to do is a thumbs down and a curtsy.
Just don't ask him how many white collar jobs we lost over the last year.
Back during the last turn down, everyone's houses became worth almost nothing, but no one could pay the mortgage because there were no jobs!
This time around, there are plenty of jobs, but people still can't pay the mortgage, since house prices are through the roof and the jobs aren't paying enough.
since house prices are through the roof
Yeah turns out when the GOP gives gigantic tax cuts to the wealthy it inflates the real estate market because they buy extra houses they don't even live in.
Good for Biden.
It’s this guy or a felon people. Make you vote!
I am glad to see this viewpoint. This is what I got yesterday at home same topic
Ahh yes, but i was just reading on moneywise that the recession is getting worse and we’re all going to die (I might have exaggerated that part on my own). Stock market will crash, housing will bubble. I guess it’ll be horrible for those rich million and billionaires who don’t already have 25 different ways to make money. Maybe there’s a recession in billionaire land? I mean, Elon might not get his 56billion salary and will walk away… yes, thats it, recession for billionaires.
What propaganda outlet is "moneywise"? There is no recession despite the clueless media predicting one every day for the last 4 years. Jobs keep getting blowout numbers month after month after month. Wages rose a 3% annual rate last month. Stock market is all time high despite Biden increasing minimum tax rate on corporations to reduce the national debt. Inflation adjusted wages for low wage workers increased by 12% under Biden. The inflation rate under Biden has been consistently lower than the OECD average.
Oh, I agree. That site is trash and used in total sarcasm jest.
Remember when Obama went his entire term just about with positive job numbers and economy? Even till the end he was trashed for the economy by republicans.
