    Any person remotely intelligent and a American knows this didn't happen in 3 years 9 months :no::roll::wierdface:

    BTW I love the Unemployment scam on the flag, and oddly it's missing anything about the XI CHINER and the effects of the COVID, strange you would go with that prop, or was it ;)

    Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

    They're not poor because there are two satellite dishes on the roof? Really? That's your metric for the poverty line? Do they have to be hooked up to qualify? Smh

    She’s wearing designer clothes, they have 2 well-groomed dogs, a $1000 swingset, and 2 satellite dishes on their roof. If this is poverty, where can I get some?

    I don't understand what in that picture says poverty to you. Looks like they live in a nice rural wooded area. A nice little house, probably can't see their neighbors. Similar to where I live, except I also live on a beautiful river. Just the location puts them head and shoulders above anybody living in the suburbs.

    Here in Alaska, there are houses like that not too far outside of Anchorage where wealthy people live. It is cheaper to live in the city than it is to live in the country. It’s like that all over the country. That’s why most rural areas vote Republican because they are more self-sufficient than in the city, which is a staple that the GOP promotes, and why most Democrats live in the city where most of the government services are.

    You people are delusional have you been to Europe???Their standard of living is better then the average Americans, they can afford and do take real vacations every year. Something average working Americans cannot afford. Our public transportation stinks compared to theirs and their infra structure in general is maintained far better than ours. They are far ahead of us in the use of wind and natural resources to generate electricity. Many cities in Africa are far more modern than most of our cities. We have pretty much failed to modernize since Ike did it in the 1950's with the start of interstate highways.

    More than 5,800 Americans surrendered their U.S.citizenship in the first six months of 2020, despite the fact our country is one of a very few in the world that punishes people financially for doing so.

    All due to the fact that both parties have forsaken the people in favor of their donors whose only goal is to funnel money upwards. One party is less Fascist but nevertheless the USA is now #34 in upward mobility in the industrialized world where once it was #1 and all for greed and by design. It is very sad that a portion of the population is not acknowledging this. The USA is no longer living up to the ideals it was founded upon and the establishment Dem abandoned the FDR Progressive polices that built a strong middle class.

    I am sorry to say, the rest of the so called Western World is shaking their head when it comes to the US.
    Till the 80s the US was the front runner, but since than has steadily fallen back and is now dropping like a rock.
    The recession of 2008 has taken all the wealth of the middle class.
    When c19 hit it was on the verge of recovery, but with a serious debt problem. That wealth recovery was on the credit card.
    Now with c19 not managed, running wild, very high unemployment and no real end in sight, this wealth recovery on the credit card is a double banger. Unemployment means loosing the benefits, including health insurance and since the US is not a very healthy country, that will hit the pocket of the middle class very hard. Those meds have to be payed.

    There is one more indicator how great the problems of the US are, empty shelves.
    Were I live they still exist, 6 month into the crisis.

    Nope, the US is only envied in 3 or 4 world countries, not in the 1. world.
    The 1. world is shaking their heads

    We had a similar experience under Thatcher. "There is no such thing as society" being one of her more famous pronouncements.
    The bane of globalisation so hated by the right also really took off during that time. Thatcher preferring to close the mines and buy cheap coal from China being a prime example. "There is no alternative (to globalisation)" was another of her best known quotes. Exporting jobs in industries such as steel and shipbuilding to Asia in order to increase the bottom line was another policy back then and it was the left who were in the most vocal opposition at the time.
    Oh how things have changed.
    Now it is the right who scream blue murder about domestic jobs (while demonising the lazy unemployed) and the left are surprisingly quite on the issue.
    A pox on both their houses.

    American could care less, we rebuilt the rest of the Western World thank you very much and just had the strongest economy in our history and are still head and shoulders above the rest. And when we get back to more fiscally conservative government we will soar even higher. Our middle class was doing better than any other until COVID hit and will do so again unless we let progressive policies once again ruin our economy as they did during and after the 2008 recession. And my shelves are full and in fact we are having a glut of meat now. And BTW Trump has done more to lower prescription drugs prices that Obama and Biden ever even just talked about.

    Facts not in evidence our tourist locations have been packed. Our poor have more material items and larger homes than the middle class in Europe.

    Because we all can afford and have the freedom to have out own personal transportation thank you very much.

    And pay out the yingyang for it while we don't have to worry about rolling blackouts and power outages as we see in California which is trying to act like a European country and if the environmentalist would get out of the way then we could start building nuclear again and generate all the electrical power we need 24/7/365.

    Have you been to Europe???Homes are just as big if not larger in most countries in Europe. Many European cities had to be completely rebuilt following the devastation they saw in WW2

    Then why do people still keep trying to emigrate here if it is so terrible? I don’t know how the economy looks in your area, but more and more people are returning to work as COVID-19 cases continue to drop, and this is without a vaccine in our foreseeable future. I know that the left and its media are trying really hard to hide the fact that our economy is slowly recovering and are disappointed that another Great Depression did not happen due to the lockdowns and riots, but none of this recovery would be happening without a strong economic foundation to withstand the pandemic shutdowns in the States. Sorry to disappoint you.
