Inflation was caused mostly by Covid and the Ukraine war. Rarely does presidential policy have anything to do with inflation.
With remote work devastating the NYC post-COVID economy, Hochul, Adams unveil a blueprint for change https://www.nydailynews.com/news/po...0221214-pdtz4ukgmnc3jpd7fiarateqze-story.html excerpt: Gov. Hochul and Mayor Adams laid out a plan Wednesday to transform flagging business districts in New York City as part of a sweeping blueprint to fundamentally change the region’s post-COVID economy. The plan, developed by a 59-member panel that the two formed in May, seeks to address a post-pandemic world where the way the city’s business districts work and how people commute has changed drastically. “It’s clear that the old model of everyone commuting daily into a business district is not coming back,” the panel’s report said. The increase in people working from home during the pandemic has wrought havoc on the city’s economy. Fewer people riding the subways has led to huge budget gaps for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which is now considering raising fares to as much as $3, and businesses in Midtown and lower Manhattan have either struggled to stay afloat or have gone belly-up under the weight of their recent financial distress. Those problems coincide with a housing crisis and a dearth of affordable options for poor and middle class New Yorkers. more at the link

I wonder how many low iq trumpers realize we're not producing more LNG than ever before? This whole notion that biden has destroyed the industry is literally horseshit that they eat up like puppets. The energy market in America is literally booming like never before.
Carson may have been a badass doctor, which is great. I don't think any living person should have their name on a building. I'm also not too fond of putting dead people's names on buildings. I've been trying to get my own name off of buildings, but they say I'm the one violating the trademark!

Lol, I like how you try to qualify your hate on Carson by basically saying "well a black guy I know doesn't like him..."
there you go again, publicizing your poor reading comprehension. if only you'd bother to read the bullet points citing the specific reason for his disdain for Ben Carson
The first sentence is true. Also Trump's tarrifs didn't help. Economists were predicting a recession because of them in August 2019. COVID sped up the timeline. Little Bush threw us into a recession, the Obama administration had to drag us out of it. Trump kicked off this ****. The Biden administration is slowly dragging us out of it.
Traveling and meeting many from the UK it seems like the US is doing much better than many other countries regarding inflation and other problems. The exchange rate is reflecting that.
Neither side are serious about paying off debt. Voters are pretty much trained to hope for yet another bailout and write off.
