Politics It's the economy, stupid! Gas, healthcare, & chickens!

Well I guess that answers my question. I’ve a wild guess where you get your “news”

Biden’s administration made a very bold move with the sale of the country’s strategic reserves which obviously had a dramatic effect on the prices at the pump. Feel free to use google and find out for yourself what happened.

STOMP

 

Much cheaper gas prices? I haven't noticed much change at all.

 

Trump wants you to buy one of Elon’s Tesla’s

 

There’s no improvement lol. They’ve actually gone up a little bit. All the states i travel to i’ve seen an increase from high $2’s low $3’s up to mid $3’s. Nothing significant, definitely not down though.

 

Come on now Platy, stop pointing out that numbers and datasets can be manipulated to fit an agenda. That makes it harder for people to make their definitive claims!

 

Don't worry. Uncle Joe will have gas down below $3/gallon by Election Day. It might be back up by Inauguration Day but Trump will be in the rear view mirror and only those weird, grumpy Republicans will notice the sleight of hand.......

 

It was free under Trump. In fact they had to pay YOU for gas because he’s such a pimp

 

And gas prices are nearly always higher in the summer than they were in the winter.

Damn 47 on safety?? I would not have guessed that bad. Bum shit can’t be that dangerous.

 

Yeah, they attack each other all the time. Those attacks go into the statistics. That's why it's so much more expensive not to house them.

 

I do feel bad for these people, but i also know simply giving them housing could never work. They would absolutely decimate a living space in a weeks time. These housing facilities would all be burnt to the ground. Not saying it’s their fault, many are mentally ill. I just don’t know what the answer is.

 

This is false and has been proven wrong many times.

The homeless people who can handle just housing treat it well. The landlords are happy even years after.

The people who need more help who are given that support are also better off (and cost taxpayers far less while committing less crime and less property damage).

Nobody has ever said "just give them all housing and no other support". Of course that wouldn't work.

 

Wow. Just wow.

 

He's not necessarily wrong, you know. Read up on the vacant hotel in downtown Casper that the homeless destroyed. All you have to do is go by pretty much any homeless encampment (at least around PDX) and in general they are garbage pits that can and do indicate levels of mental illness. So much homeless housing gets trashed in a very short period of time. That is just a true fact, unfortunate though it may be. There is NO easy solution (if there is ANY solution).
