That's what I said.  The majority of Americans are poor and can't afford to go anywhere except to go visit their Aunt Bertha because she just won $200 in the lottery and she's buying McDonald's for everyone. 😆

1) What's wrong with domestic travel?   The USA is a large country. 

2) What is your definition of poor?

You can sit on a sidewalk and do fen.

You can beg for money.

You can carjack a car at a parking lot.

You can call American protestors "commies" and Soros supporters.

 

So much! 😀

WTF is wrong with you?

Id be more concerned about being a target in thailand. Most people there cant afford much anything anymore. Everyone is feeling inflation

It's my fault the Farangs dog nipped at me, he said.  Karma or something, the Farang said.  I followed the Farang into 7, ashamed of myself.  How could I have been so evil in my past life that I deserved being bitten by his dog which was barking at me while he was laughing, assuring me it wouldn't bite.  HEY!  Your dog just bit me!  You said he wouldn't bite.  Haha, said the Farang.  It's just a Soi dog, he claims.  Hmmm, why the pedigree breed and collar then.

 

After I came out of the 7, I was carrying my iced coffee and snacks in one hand and cooly and calmly looked this dog in the eyes as it lay down waiting for it's owner inside.

 

And I swiftly kicked it in the face.

Karma. 🧘‍♀️

We're even Steven now, bad doggie. 😃

You mean...

All data is from the past? 

Gee.

Because the future hasn't happened yet?

Wow.  So profound. 😄

 

   I was just pointing out that Trump wouldn't have been responsible , you will have to blame it on Joe Biden

When does Trump start being responsible for what he's been doing since January? 

 

C'mon.  Give us something.

 

You can't keep claiming he's new on the job forever, Mr. Clever Never.  🆕

   You posted an article and blamed Donald Trump without realising Biden was President when the report was published .

   You need to acknowledge your error  , retract the blaming of Trump and apportion blame to Biden .

   Can you bring yourself to do that ?

No, Republicans are mocking this by pretending Trump didn't claim to fix inflation on Day One. 🤑

Indeed and it is very beautiful, having done dozens of states back in the day.

Me, too. 

44 states, all over America.

Beautiful place.

Ain't disputing that.

 

Unfortunately, Republicans have been so busy destroying the middle class in America since 1981, only the wealthier people can even afford the gas money to go and see it.

 

Remember Motel 6?  It actually used to be $6 a night.  Have you checked the price lately?  And then to eat out?

 

No.

 

Poor people drag a boat to some mosquito infested lake and let the kids go waterskiing give them some pop and grill some burgers and hot dogs and call it a "staycation"

Yee haw.

Travel?

Who kin afford that 😄

Thanks Donald Trump! 🙏

 right, because this happened overnight. 

American politics have been a dumpster fire for decades. Trump is the most vile of symptoms, not the underlying disease.

I think you should be blaming "politicians," not just Republicans.  The destruction of the middle class started long before 1981 and Ronald Reagan.  And both parties have contributed to the mess.  

 

Your train of thought is typical, though, of the current crop of Democrats. No matter what the problem, it's always "the Republicans" who ruin everything.

OK...

Politicians accepting money from rich people who don't want to pay taxes so we are forced to increase the debt to pay for tax cuts mostly for the already rich.  

And maybe anyone who supports Trump's next tax cut is "contributing to the mess", too right?

 

Know anyone who thinks that even though there's never been a tax cut in the past 21st century 25 long years now majority of them under Republicans ugh

that has produced long term economic prosperity only increased the debt...

 

That somehow someway Trump's next Big Tax Cut For The Mostly Rich will be all sparkles and pixie dust shooting out of Elon Musk's ass that will take everyone on earth on a magic rainbow to Mars...?!?

 

 

And then the drugs wear off. 😄

 Like I said, blame them all.  I don't think for a second that the Fed ought to be lowering rates just so Trump can cut taxes.  But, the system is on the verge of collapse, so the Fed will eventually do what they always do, not to support any particular politician, but to keep the banking system from collapsing.  Remember, at the end of the day it's all about the Western banking system and US dollar's world reserve currency status.  And the Fed is owned by all the big banks. If the banking system collapses, we're all in trouble.  

 

So, I go with the flow. I watch what is happening and try to make the best of it.  Trump wants to cut taxes?  Fine.  Trump wants lower rates?  Not fine, but it'll happen one way or the other and I'll deal with it.
