aubeynarf,

he’s doing a pretty good job though. Especially compared to Putin and Xi, whos countries are collapsing.

anticolonialist,

That’s cute, Russia, china, and Mexico are the only countries that saw positive wage growth for their working class the last 4 years. US GDP is retracting, China is expanding

jeffw,

US GDP had one surprise quarter where growth was lower than expected. That’s not “retracting”

anticolonialist,

Still growing slower than China and they had wages that outpaced inflation unlike here. They haven’t had outrageous housing problems.

jeffw,

US wages have outpaced inflation for a couple years now

anticolonialist,

Even if true, poverty is growing and the income gap is widening. The percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck is growing, the percentage of people that can’t afford their rent is growing, the homeless population is growing, with the fastest growing segment being the elderly. No amount of gaslighting from the government changes those numbers.

aubeynarf,

Totally explains the flow of immigration into China.

jeffw,

And you think Russia and China are better on those fronts? We all have a similar Gini index, with China being the worst out of US, Russia, and China.

From the article…

Three of the four prior presidents who had 13th-quarter approval averages below 50% lost their reelection bids, with Obama the exception.

Will be interesting to see if Biden does an Obama or not, with the upcoming elections.

If the election were held today, he would not. He’s waiting to campaign properly until after the convention in August and that may be too late.
