    McDonald's has a daily special on their app for buy1 get 1 free for all their big macs and/or quarter pounders. They also have a 1 dollar large fries special daily + buy 1 get 1 free breakfast sandwiches every day.

    The people who pay regular prices are subsidizing those who use the app.

    People who pay regular taxes pay for all the subsides Biden likes to give away for free.

    You could auction off bags of garbage for $3.99 and find something more healthy than that.

    Don't waste your time. @Os Trigonum is a frustrated old right wing dude who can't unleash his inner Cayuga River Cave Troll in public for fear of alienating his peers - so he does it here in just the dumbest anonymous 4chan moron ways.

    I'd say "interesting" but it's a very very not interesting tale as old as time.

    But why can't he just admit he's a right winger? You are who you are. Just be proud and own it and put the red hat on. All he does is spew disinformation and conspiracies against democrats 24/7.

    I have 100x more respect for @Commodore. He knows what he is and he isn't ashamed. I respect that

    The Queen Bee of Bidenomics

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/17/...e_code=1.0U0.IESY.rciv1L_g1Ilq&smid=url-share

    excerpt:

    But the work that Ms. Harris and others in the Biden administration have done is unfinished, and poorly understood. The terms “Bidenomics” and “Build Back Better” don’t seem to resonate. Just 38 percent of voters trust Mr. Biden on the economy, according to a recent poll. That might be because Americans are, understandably, more concerned about the cost of groceries today than the investments that will pay off tomorrow. Or maybe an era of low trust in the government is just a tough time to revive these kinds of interventions.

    Ms. Harris acknowledges that these ideas haven’t yet taken hold in the broader electorate, and that high interest rates overshadow the progress that’s been made. It’s too early for voters to feel it, she told me: “The investments Biden has pushed through aren’t going to be felt in a month, a year, two years.”

    OT. did u even read the article ?

    The author incorrectly credits Jennifer Harris as the Queen Bee of Bidenomics.

    Post #288 on page 15 has identified the Queen Bee of Bidenomic.



    Sucessful POTUS have sage economic advisors; Lauchlin Bernard Currie for FDR, Laura D'Andrea for Bill Clinton, and so on.

    For President Biden, it has been Cecilia Elena Rouse, a Harvard-educated economist,

    who has been the economic sounding board for Biden, laying down the tracks for Bidenomics.

    under Biden, She was the Chair of the Courcil of Economic Advisers

    Catherine Rampell offers this observation.

    The “re-industrialization” of America is the cornerstone of Bidenomics, with government-subsidized factory investment serving as Biden’s go-to example for his pledge to
    “build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out.”; maybe Americans don’t feel like Bidenomics is working for them because it seems to be fixated on a sector that
    almost no Americans work in anymore, that doesn’t feel relevant to their daily lives and that isn’t actually doing so great right now.


    the United States is — has long been — an overwhelmingly services-based economy.


    Manufacturing represents about one-tenth of overall gross domestic product; its share of total employment is even smaller, around 8 percent. That’s because the industry has become increasingly automated and
    needs fewer workers for any given amount of production. The United States actually manufactures nearly as much stuff today as it ever did, by inflation-adjusted value; it just does so with fewer people and more robots.

    If the president hopes to convince Americans that Bidenomics has improved their lives, it might be helpful to emphasize the policies that address the typical American’s working conditions — in the sectors where they actually work.

    When I saw mention of Ms. Harris, I first thought of our immigration czar with her signature cackle...

    That article is fluffier than a Samoyed when it comes to policy she can directly take credit* for. I guess this paragraph would have to do.

    As an adviser on international economic policy, Ms. Harris had a hand in everything from making the case for industrial policy to designing a new framework for trade. This time, she wasn’t a lonely voice. Numerous grantees or partners from the Hewlett initiative entered the administration as well: Heather Boushey, an expert on equitable growth, became a member of Mr. Biden’s Council of Economic Advisers; K. Sabeel Rahman, a scholar of antitrust law, became head of regulatory affairs; and his collaborator Lina Khan became chair of the Federal Trade Commission.
    Is she like the Jared Kushner of Bidenomics...Everywhere and nowhere all at once?

    Even the cover shot for her expose makes her look like an office wallflower.

    Biden’s Stimulus Juiced the Economy, but Its Political Effects Are Muddled
    Some voters blame the American Rescue Plan for fueling price increases. But the growth it unleashed may be helping the president stay more popular than counterparts in Europe.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/18/us/politics/bidens-stimulus-economy.html

    excerpt:

    The $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package that President Biden signed shortly after taking office has become both an anchor and a buoy for his re-election campaign.

    The American Rescue Plan, which the Biden administration created and Democrats passed in March 2021, has fueled discontent among voters, in sometimes paradoxical ways. Some Americans blame the law, which included direct checks to individuals, for helping to fuel rapid inflation.

    Others appear upset that its relief to people, businesses and school districts was short-lived. The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas reported recently that several business contacts in its district “expressed concern about the winding down of American Rescue Plan Act dollars and whether nonprofits and K-12 schools will be able to sustain certain programs without that funding.”

    Polls show that Americans continue to favor Mr. Biden’s opponent, former President Donald J. Trump, on economic issues. Often, they indicate that only relatively small slices of the electorate believe Mr. Biden’s policies have helped them or their family financially.

    As an Adobe subscriber that’s good to see.

    As an Adobe shareholder not so good.
