The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

BTW, by any objective measure: Employment, labor income increases, reduction in crime, you name it. Biden has done far better than Trump. The country is in a far better place now than where it was 4 years ago.

“ Total Employment
One of the most significant data points that illustrates the difference is full-time employment. The Biden administration has spent significant resources trying to convince Americans that we are currently witnessing a booming jobs market, but that’s a highly misleading claim.

It’s true that a high number of jobs have been added since Biden has entered the White House. According to the White House, 15 million jobs have been created since he took office. However, most of those jobs were recovered after the COVID-19-related lockdowns ended. They were not newly created jobs.”

Snip
“While weekly paychecks have indeed gotten larger since Biden became president, they have not kept pace with the rapid rise in prices of consumer goods and services during that time.

Monthly figures compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show average weekly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees — who make up 81% of the private sector workforce — have continued to go up since Biden’s inauguration in January. That is, if inflation isn’t taken into account.”
Snip
“But adjusting those figures for rising prices gives a different picture entirely. Stated in what economists call constant dollars — valued at their average level in 1982-84 — those weekly earnings for rank-and-file workers have actually declined.”

Right. Biden doesn't call people like your son "losers and suckers". Biden isn't a convicted felon. Biden isn't sucking up to dictators. Biden doesn't brag about sexually assaulting women. Biden doesn't steal money from charities intended to help wounded veterans. Biden doesn't attack Gold Star families. Biden doesn't attack law enforcement personnel. Biden supports the rule of law.

Please spare me your out of context left wing talking points and I will not bring up Sniff and Snort and their nasty background.

He has brought back lots of respect and civility to the role of the President.

Sorry, the World is laughing at OldJoe and his senile moments, sputtering, shuffling, eyes glazed over, frozen in space, wandering off and more. Even James Carville is having fits over OldJoe.
Why does OldJoe need to go in hiding a week before the debate to rest and have a score of people try to penetrate his skull what to say, how to answer, don’t do this or that and on and on.

PS: A Fact, Blacks, Hispanics and young voters are deserting Biden.
Blacks and Hispanics remember how good they had it during the Trump years.
Young voters see Biden as a declining old man.
