The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

You really don't understand how being laid off is a bad thing.

I've been laid off several times, and know it's a bad thing. What's yours solution to the problem?

The fact that these people are gettting jobs elsewhere has nothing to do with anything. AT ALL.

It shows the economy is healthy.

Name me another year where tech laid off over 175,000 people in 4 months.

There's no reason to think it should be true. The more people are employed in teck, the more layoffs occur. 5 years from now, 175,000 won't be close to a record.

75,000 in 10 months

Among just 25 companies out of hundreds of companies.

Which of the layoffs I linked to indicates a bad economy?

Tech layoffs conducted to date this year currently exceed the total number of tech layoffs in 2022, according to the data in the tracker.

Tech layoffs in 2022: A timeline

As inflation, supply-chain problems, and geopolitical turmoil curb revenue growth for tech companies, they have resorted to reducing headcount—some with massive layoffs—to bolster their balance sheets. Here's an updated timeline of the more notable layoffs.

According to TrueUp’s tech layoff tracker, there were 1,405 rounds of layoffs at tech companies globally through the first week of December, affecting 219,959 people.

Nah you can't answer a basic question. I'm not playing your stupid game that you constantly play . Back on ignore for a little bit as you can't even have an honest discussion. You're a smart dude you just can't be honest and stay on topic. You are very good at muddying the original point up to get it off topic. Instead of actually addressing the simple question. It's a terrible way to conversate and I keep thinking you won't do it, but you do everytime.

I'll answer my question. There's has never been 175,000 layoffs in tech in 4 months EVER, let alone 2 years COMBINED. It's not normal. Oh and thanks for adding December of 2022. That's over 350,000 layoffs in 5 months. Close to a half million jobs lost in one industry and fish and Thriller brag about 220,000 jobs created. Which is good but nothing to brag about when half a million will be laid off by July.

Brilliant point in adding even more layoffs under Biden lol. Thats even worse. My goodness.

Ohh before I go...

Nah you can't answer a basic question.

I answered the question by agreeing with you, while at the same time exposing the question as misleading.

I'm not playing your stupid game that you constantly play .

1862EA? If you mean in here, then we both know you're playing games with factoids.

Ohh before I go...

That's a healthy number of open jobs.

Another thing I can give credit to Biden for is him calling out airlines for their shady practices and also places like ticketmaster. These shady practices, amongst many others like prescription cost need to be better regulated. Now I'm not overly enthused by making airlines pay for delayed flights, though it is annoying, but things like hidden fees and price gouging.

US to propose new rules for airline cancellations, delays

President Joe Biden says his administration will write new rules to expand the rights of airline passengers. Biden said Monday that the rules will require airlines to compensate passengers and cover their meals and hotel rooms if they are stranded for reasons within the airline's control. It's...

MAGA's are usually right 99% of the time. Ultra MAGA's 100%. Meanwhile MAGA's have a legit spending plan in place(i believe anyways and all I hear is lies from the Democrats about it) that highers the limit but limits Bidens reckless spending spiraling us into a lot of trouble. Meanwhile Chuck Schumer doesn't even know anything about his own state.

"At first you have to laugh at the ‘gas stove ban’ narrative being cooked up by the MAGA GOP,"

"Nobody is taking away your gas stove," Schumer tweeted in early February. "Shameless and desperate MAGA Republicans are showing us they will cook up any distraction to divert from real issues the American people want solved, like the debt ceiling."

New York is the first state in the country to ban natural gas and other fossil fuels in most new buildings -- a major win for climate advocates, but a move that could spark pushback from fossil fuel interests.

Are you confused about the difference between "take away" and "never have"?

Your ability to pathologically just make **** up is astonishing. The post was about the ban of stoves. The entire post was about ban.

I used CNN because they are a left wing Propaganda network even admitting it was a ban.

Schumer tweeted that no one is taking away the gas stoves. That was true. You said, "Chuck Schumer doesn't even know anything about his own state", indicatiing that he didn't understand what was happening. This was false.

No one indicated there was not a ban on new stoves, certainly not Schumer.

I was watching video of Joe from 2015 and the dude was sharp, quick, didn't mumble and was articulate. Hell.... Call me crazy but he doesn't even look like the same guy anymore. Now it's definitely a crazy conspiracy but you tell me this is the same Joe Biden that can't pronounce basic words or remember that he was in Ireland 12 days prior. It's quite clear he has lost a tremendous amount of brain power and functionality. It's going to happen to us all but...it's night and day... This is why he pretty much hides all day and has done the least press conferences in many decades.

The only question is if this indictment is going to be enough to push him ahead of Trump for the Republican Presidential Nomination?
