Does the United States have a spending problem? Obviously, but I really wanted to talk about how the cost of living crisis is presenting itself in your community. That relates to this article because you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. If all of you have no disposable income, no savings, and a job market that can’t support your current cost of living… What happens if you lose your job? Do you default on loan obligations along with America because we are stretched to the edge. Should we vote in members of congress to pass more tax breaks for private jets?Are mods whack? Let me know in the comments.

        If you’re talking about your “Vote like you will be competing against me for $16 an hour jobs.” post getting removed, it’s because this community only allows links to articles. It’s the first rule listed. If you want to self-post try something like !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world instead. You can check the modlog for moderation actions taken on comments and posts btw (on the webui there’s a link at the bottom of the page)

          fair enough. I’d argue that news articles really fail to capture some of the real politics and worthwhile discussions. There’s a reason why the rightwing media bought up all the local news agencies.

                So do you want to answer the question or just avoid it? Specifically, which government do you simp for…. Like the mods…

                    So, to be clear…… which government do you simp for? Like, what country?

                    Because simping for the theory of a perfect society is fine, but that’s not what I’m talking about.

                  I was a fan of Biden actually, I know that’s a controversial take on here. I thought he was a good US president. A lot of people don’t think he was a good president because they don’t understand that a president doesn’t make laws.

                    He was OK, as far as administrations go, but his last year of insistance on running, dipping out kinda late, and then pardoning his son (and others) really left a bad taste in my mouth.
