We must shut down the country on 3/22-23 for 48 hours, and again on 3/25-27 for 72 hours. Stop work as you can, call in sick, take 1/2days off, come in late, take long lunches, leave early. We must work stop our airlines, trucking, transportation and retail and industrial manufacturing.
Thank you!!! Single day protests are not nearly enough. We need to build the number of people and length of boycotts for EVERY sector until we become like Serbia et al nations fighting fascism.
The best that America has to offer will have to leave.
The businesses that trump needs for America first will soon have to put their businesses first. Do these businesses deal more with those on the outside world than trade in the USA.
When the best has gone, all that's left is the mediocrity
Thanks for posting this; great concise summary. And yet as recently as a few months ago so many people STILL believed that "Republicans are better for the economy". It's Orwellian.
Funny your conservatives are just as good as Australian conservatives in not being able to hand down budgets that decrease the deficit or give you a surplus.
Shows the difference one looks after the big end of town & makes recessions. The other looks after both ends of town yet produce surpluses
Neither look after the other end of town.
Australia is going down the USA 'trickle' down road where 95% get fucked. Australians will end up raped by the current US administration.
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
The US oligarchy can get fucked. We have to fight for our lives.
Will Maga ever learn that Republicans are not the solution. Unless they don't care about helping each other and are happy that racism is back and people are being hurt by the cut backs.
You're not wrong; but never confuse righteous justice for vengeance.
One side is consumed by hate, cowardice and falsehood.
The other is fighting for truth, love and courage.
It's not vengeance if you're fighting for each other.
Well, Democrats aren't all sunshine and butterflies. Now let's talk about all the Democrats who refused to vote for a woman candidate...TWICE....and put us back in this mess. π
This time the mess is definitely worse. No party is perfect. In Canada voters were angry at PMJT because the opposition was pushing that he was bad. We need to look at the policies of both parties (we have more) but this election will be between the Liberals vs Conservatives.
Dude you could strap them in a chair and show them video and audio everyday for a month of all the horrific things that have happened under trump and they would STILL NOT believe it. They drank the koolaid.
State the real facts and resist the urge to create your own reality please, or else you are no better than Trump. Reagan left office after generally doing a lot of economic good, as judged in his time.
I'd say the problem came in long after Reagan, he was far from the fascist cult Trump is pushing.
A lot else was wrong, but I question why Biden did not walk into the supreme court with a loaded gun and ask them politely to reconsider if the president really is immune from prosecution...
Biden is to be remembered for a thousand years as Failure Clown who demended you clap that his failure was success; same cult that demands we clap for The Theocracy as they ship "enemies" out for the fascist state
I'd add the biggest problem the US and UK inc Europe has is growing wealth disparity, I consider myself right wing but the point of wealth is to build a better society.
Elon is actively making this problem even worse from what I can see, the future is going to be interesting in the US...
You could say that Obama allowed infowars, I believe the people have to be trusted.
British here: I'm looking at a US with a great economy and justice system and a collection of monkeys in charge smashing it up. In parliament we slam the door to black rod to show even the monarchy has limits.
Yeahβ¦butβ¦.gaysβ¦.illegalsβ¦.transβ¦.abortions!!! Only way to fight that is through tax breaks for the rich!!! Who cares about my prosperity!!! God we are living in stupid times!!!
When republicans take over the Oval Office they see how good the economy is so they give all the rich and big corporations trillions of dollars in tax cuts. Rinse and repeat.
The working class party they replaces Democrats has to break up banks and focus attention on the need for 90 to 99% taxes on billionaires and the ruling class. The last time we had. 90% taxes on the rich we also had a growing middle class
But "economic growth" is related to stock prices and how much wealth the 1% is making. They show little is anything of the real economy and the level of poverty in a nation.
The levels of human suffering have an overall increase under any moneyed economy.

America does not to go to war. Itβs at war within itself every 4 years! How is this nation going to progress forward if it goes backwards 20 years and comes back! This year itβs going back 200 years!
Yes. GOP says they are good for the economy. They are not.....only for the rich, and even with that it's short sighted. When you take away buying power from the majority of people, who do the rich think will buy their stuff.
This is the visual representation of insanity. The people as a whole are an either a bunch of dumb motherfuckers or greedy assholes. If thereβs ever a possibility of taking back our country damn if those same peoples donβt weed out the fascists and their collaborators.
There was no recession under O but the economy seemed sluggish as a result of the Great Rec, O's overreaction to it, and a Capital Strike (CS probably being the main reason). Under Trump 1, many sectors of the econ was in rec b4 covid. C19 hid Trump's damage. Biden had the best econ this century.
There was a brief recession the meme misses as a result of the Dot Com bubble bursting. The Great Recession was caused in part (according to Clinton) for the repeal of Glass-Steagall when he was POTUS.
I hate simplistic memes. There was a recession in 1980 and then another one in 1981-82. The main cause was the Fed interest rate hikes. The early 90s recession was caused by a # of factors including oil shock, fed rate hikes, debt from the RR era, & reduction of defense spending as the CW wound down
National Bureau of Economic Research NBER reports the start date of recessions; the following list includes the president in office at that time and their party:
Yes. Republicans gut and ruin good economies. They also require taxpayer funded bailouts for the rich who help them ruin economies.
GOP Motto: Screw. Rinse. Repeat.
It's not. But yet, the Democratic 'Leaders' don't push this narrative. Of course, they know the stats; they're smart people from elite schools and businesses or a part of the Old Guard sitting in committees for decades. Maybe that's the problem. They're not like us.
This is the pattern I have noticed tooβ¦
Not just here, but internationally⦠when austerity is implemented the economy crashes⦠when the working class people are supported, the economy thrives!
Why do the Republicans always want to take away from the people?π€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
To be clear, 1st Reagan recession was deliberately triggered to squeeze near-15% stagflation out of economy. But the point is valid that overall modern GOP has been less successful economically than Dems, & that's because their top down help the rich most policies can't deliver broad prosperity.
That and the GOP are the least qualified to do any job in or out of office.
Cronyism and corruption feeds their incompetence to new heights! Big Daddy or daddyβs friends will always bail out them. Donβt have to study. Donβt have to know anything. Just a body in a convenient position.
No need for qualifications all of a sudden. DT as prez is example enough. Still...would be fine if he lined up all those involved in "Chat-gate", pointed at Tulsi and shouted, "you're fired". Of course, same to be said to Hegseth and Jimmy V.
Unfortunately there is so much misinformation out there I've seen people on Facebook pre-election with made up numbers about the Biden administration economy. And they all listen to Fox News until it hits their own pockets they're never going to believe anything the mainstream media says.
Nicely done and absolutely correct. The problem Democrats have is that fixing the economy sometimes takes higher interest rates or raising taxes. Republicans win bc they effectively use the Democrats' good works against them.
Clinton: served the financial sector. Screwed the working class.
Obama: bailed out the financial sector. Screwed the working class.
Just like the Republicans. Corp. DEMS SUCK! Stop enabling corp Democrats.
Ok I am assuming you dont know what credit management, M1, print supply, debt to equity... inflation curves, Paul Volker etc....silly girl just saw a meme with 0 knowledge. What a sheep
Do you see a pattern. The repukicans have destroyed our economy every time they had power. This time they are doing it within the first actually less than the first 100 days of the Trump regime.
President Obama said it best, Democrats keep the car(country)on the road. Republicans get in office & drive the car off the road, in a ditch, can't get it out. Democrats get the car out of the ditch, back on the road. Republicans want to take over so they can drive it back in the ditch.
The problem is are we looking at heros of the people or some version of good cop bad cop where both sides work for the same puppet master? Until Harris, Obama, and Biden just walked off I believed it was heros.
You forgot to mention that a million Americans died as a result of Trumpβs inaction. Injecting chlorine to treat COVID? And then give him immunity against prosecution?
I've been saying this for years but my repug friends always try the old, "democrats are just benefitting from republican policies that take years to go into effect" ploy.
I lost half of what Iβd built up under Dubya the Dumb. Took another few years under Obama to build it back up, but I never recovered the $50k I lost. The dingbat didnβt have the cojones to speak up against Dumbp.
If an apparently senile democrat can do what Biden did with the economy, imagine what a young, lucid one can do. Too bad MAGA are too fucking stupid to understand any of this.
And you have the proof, and you STILL can't make people see it. I talked myself blue before last election. I even told them WHAT was going to happen. No I am not psychic, or have a crystal ball...I follow "history". Dictators are dictators are dictators...
Republicans don't know how to operate country. This applies to every single right-wing lunatics everywhere in the world. Right-wingers are only into "leading" for the sake of power and wealth. They don't care who gets harmed in the way. Right-wing religious asshats destroy the future.
Actions always speak louder than words. The problem is, most of our country is so ignorant, they only pay attention to the words. Now we all have to suffer.
To be fair - Clinton destroyed the barrier between traditional banks and investment banks. Trickle down under Reagan was the beginning of massive inequality; but the steroids of Clinton's actions directly fed '08, which provided the dip to create hyper-wealth and the resulting inequality.
Setting aside for a second the fact that trump was trump, in a newly rebounded economy all one had to do was look at her plan and his and immediately know who you should vote for.
Republicans are 1000% better at selling disinformation than Democrats. Biden had a fantastic Economy for 4 years, and they effectively painted 3.8% Unemployment and 3.5-4% GDP growth as a failed economy not working for the middle class.
It's easier to lie, twist, warp, misdirect, fingerpoint, etc. than to speak the truth. 'cause truth, that's this leftie shit, isn't it? At least that's what my bubble says. Or words to that effect. Taking the "high road" doesn't pay these days.
I yanked my eyeballs out yesterday Jeras, what does it say please? Do u know when someone is true kind? When u tell βem u yanked out yer eyeballs & they were about to explain something to you but stopped, smiled & didnβt then yell at me. Nope. Hi & thanks handsome. Holy shit all of this. What brain?
Same in Canada. I realize Clinton was a good president, but he sucked ass of the corporations, and never brought back any guardrails. He expanded on deregulation and that was certainly a big problem.
We're heading for a recession. 1929 style. They're going to destroy the safety nets and we'll see people dying in the streets. If they destroy the ACA, the already frail healthcare industry will collapse.
Than the robber barons will swoop in and buy property for pennies on the dollar.
DT crew know the plan. Empty as many federal buildings and sell at 0 interest each building for his company or buddies wanting to invest in the real estate biz. Always about the $$$. always with this mob.
