And?

Comey is just verbalizing what we’re all thinking.

Yeah, but I’d still have it playing on repeat on a TV in my home for the rest of my life. Just to keep my spirits up. Print out each individual frame and hang them on my walls.

A religious zealot doesn’t like the gays or abortion? No way.

Every time there’s a new Pope we basically just cross our fingers that they’re kind of, sort of decent people on some topics so that maybe some of their fanatical followers will be kind of, sort of decent people on some topics.

It’s a pretty low bar.

Played it on a free weekend a few months ago after hearing about it for over a decade.

Shit sucks.

Looks pretty, and that’s where the good parts end.

Everything, and I mean everything, is insanely tedious and the inventory system is godawful. After 10+ years of “development”.

Avoid this garbage.

Don’t worry. Us Americans will entirely ignore that other 1st world nations have a better quality of life and we’ll continue to allow our abusers to abuse us more.

If enough prominent figures in Nazi Germany stood up and said something in the early 30s, then millions upon millions of people may not have died.

Bruce Springsteen is right.

Humans are pretty resilient. I don’t think we’re going to go extinct, unless we do the nuclear winter thing, which I personally believe is inevitable on a long enough timeline. Short of that, we’ll see mass death and an extreme decline in quality of life, but we’ll probably, unfortunately, continue on as a species. Either way, we’ll end up destroying this planet eventually. We simply cannot exist in symbiosis with nature.

I’m not really on the fence about the bright vs dark future thing anymore, as you can see by my name. It’s pretty much guaranteed we’ve chosen the dark future option.

It’s gonna be awesome when we’re old and need end of life care and the younger generations are too poor to help us and too stupid to help us even if they weren’t poor.

We’re headed into a very, very stupid and depressing future. And it’s 100% avoidable.

Real gross domestic product grew 2.5% in 2023, significantly outpacing growth in all other G7 nations.[38][39][40] Real GDP growth averaged a robust 3.4% during the first three years of the Biden presidency.[41]

The labor market was strong in 2023. The unemployment rate averaged a very low 3.6% in 2023, as it had in 2022; the last year with an average 3.5% unemployment rate was 1969.[26] The number of persons with jobs continued setting records monthly as it had since June 2022 when the pre-pandemic peak was regained, reaching 157.3 million in December 2023. An average of 251,000 jobs per month were added in 2023, a total of 3.0 million.[27]

Wage gains exceeded inflation in 2023, with real (inflation-adjusted) hourly earnings for all employees increasing 0.8% from December 2022 to December 2023.[42] The inflation rate measured vs. one year earlier was 6.4% in January 2023 and 3.1% in December as the inflation rate slowed.[43] Census data released in January 2024 showed that record-high new business applications were filed in 2023, the third consecutive annual record high.[44]

For data through November 2024, President Biden on average had the lowest unemployment rate (4.12%) and highest real hourly wages for production & non-supervisory workers ($30.11) among presidents back to 1964.[49][3]

In 2024, Biden pushed to limit junk fees through the FTC, FCC and CFPB.[50] Biden has taken antitrust more seriously than presidents in recent memory, as seen by the work of Lina Khan at the FTC,[2] a historic court victory against Google’s search monopoly, and a lawsuit to break-up Live Nation and Ticketmaster.[50]

In February 2024, the total federal government debt grew to $34.4 trillion after having grown by approximately $1 trillion in both of two separate 100-day periods since the previous June.[51] However, the ratio of debt held by the public to GDP fell from 97.1% in Q1 2021 when Biden started to 95.2% in Q2 2024, as growth outpaced debt increases.[52]

Now, before you start crying about this being from Wikipedia, I’d like to point out the numbers inside the brackets above. Those are what those of us who have gone to school call SOURCES. That’s the beauty of Wikipedia. If you think it isn’t being accurate, you can click on the source links embedded into the website to verify the claims.

Those SOURCES are what your link, which should be considered an opinion piece, are lacking.

So I have to ask myself, do I rely on a link with almost no data at all, and absolutely no sources, or do I rely on a link that has a shit ton of data and sources included to back the claims being made?

If I was you, I’d just blindly believe the link with no sources. But, thank the gods, I am not you.

Your link is a hit piece with no sources. Do better.

Thanks for your link with virtually no data.

No references to studies.

It basically just says the reality for most voters is that they still struggled. It bypasses all the real statistical data showing our economy in a recovery process during Biden’s term.

A recovery process that surpassed other first world nations.

I mean it’s pretty much all they an do unless Americans want to exercise their 2nd Amendment right as it was intended.

Republicans in Congress are traitors to the United States of America, so this won’t go anywhere. Still worth getting on the books though.

Calm before the storm.

Although we probably won’t know how bad it gets because our government will probably stop tracking stats so everyone thinks everything is fine.

Mark my words on that one.

That’s because the Libs are more educated than you and paid attention to the stats and KNOW as a FACT that Biden had solid economic recovery during his tenure as president.

As far as I can tell they’re trying to push for violence so they can initiate martial law and stop elections.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but these fucks are literally focused on doing only what hurts average Americans. It’s concentrated.

What they don’t seem to grasp is that we’re the most armed populous on the planet, so martial law may not do what they think it’s going to do.

Either way, arm up.

Looks like it’s time to eat the rich.

They have too much power and resources now. We aren’t going to get a better quality of life through peaceful means.

Older millennial here.

Within my group of friends, none of us had career jobs or the semblance of stability until well into our 30s. Some of us are just now starting to have kids as we’re turning 40. Probably less than half though. We’re half and half on home ownership.

The propaganda we grew up with was intense. I’m not pretending the U.S. is the worst country to live in, but the reality is it really isn’t that great. We’re being abused by our system despite working our asses off for it.

At this point, with all the evidence pointing to our society being cataclysmically stupid, I’m assuming we’re going to watch our nation decline for the rest of our lives. So I have to find joy in watching dipshit Trump supporters suffer harder than most. I have to grasp at the little tidbits of joy when I can.

Leave it up to dumbfuck conservatives to kill a recovering economy. An economy that was recovering from COVID better than most, if not all, other nation’s economies.

Can we just let these braindead scumfucks run their own red states into the ground and cannibalize each other? I’m tired of supporting these fucking losers.
