Current Events > How has your life changed since Joe Biden was elected as president ?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I make 30% more money than I did before.

That's pretty much it

I don't see as many funny memes since Trump left.

:(

I feel less compelled to see what the goons in our government are up to at any given point.

What kind of memes

Biden's election pushed my crazier Trump-supporter family members off the deep end. My relationship with a lot of them is probably now permanently damaged, and they're becoming increasingly detached from reality. I honestly don't know what to do, except minimize my interactions with them and keep trying to move on with my own life.

I know how to pronounce "Kyiv" now.

I make like 50% more its kind of nuts. But then everything is getting crazy expensive too.

What kind of memes

The ones making fun of Trump. The common ones, small hands, orange face, his hair, drinking water. Stuff like that.

I don't pay attention to politics nearly as much as I did, mainly because it's no as in your face as it was when Trump was President.

Biden just kind of putters along, not doing much to stir the pot.

My life has improved greatly by not having to hear anything about Trump's latest idiotic tweet or thinly veiled attempt to turn the US into a totalitarian dictatorship.

My personal spending is up due to inflation, but that's not on him.

i no longer have to worry about fascists overturning a fair election and taking over the nation's government by force. that's been a huge load off, tbh.

Gas costs way more now

Yea I wish employers would let people continue to work from home so the demand wouldn't be so high

its high because OPEC is trying to make up for covid shortfalls, is expected further covid related shortfalls, and is trying to profit as much as they can before electric vehicles take over. They literally said this

If anything its just going to push more people to go electric sooner. Once my lease is up I plan on getting an electric vehicle. Getting solar panels installed this year so Ill be ready for it.

bought a house, got a 45% raise and got engaged

Biden is also doing nothing to incentivize the US companies to drill and produce more oil and gas, in fact he is not even meeting with them to try and figure out how to increase domestic production. So instead companies are content sitting back and not spending money to drill while collecting huge profits from $90 oil.

Biden just knows it is political suicide in his party to even be seen at the table with the "big oil" boogeyman.

My stock portfolio has been stagnant since he came into office.

Not much, it's pretty much the same but Biden not doing anything about the prices going up on everything could hurt the poor people like me.

it hasn't

Biden's responsible for the global economy? Cause this is happening world wide.

You could also look for a new job

I got married

Completely unrelated to Biden, but my mental health plummeted to rock bottom and hasn't gotten any better.

Anyway things are objectively better in the US under Biden.

Encouraged vaccines and put a priority on vaccine rollout for one, and he's actually competent.

Pay more for gas, otherwise everything is the same as Trump and Obama. I can't think of anything Biden has actually done.

Still lower than Bush

I started dating my gf 5 days after the election, so all praise Biden

I got two raises this month and I'm getting a promotion next month, which might come with another raise and an increase in my annual bonus percentage. I'm making more money than ever. Stock portfolio stagnant. I bought my first house in 2021.

Everything is too expensive these days. I'm just fortunate to have bought a house before house prices began spiking in my area and interest rates were low.

The buck always stops at the President's desk regardless of who or what is at fault.

No Job is going to pay what I'm making now. I pretty much make like 24 an hour

I was fired, clearly Biden's fault

If you're making $24 an hour you need to budget better then since you're claiming you're poor.

Even in the highest cost of living areas you're making 3x federal minimum wage.

Hopefully in a year I can say I make 2-3 times more than I ever have, but that won't be because of Biden. That's all me.

Yeah, I don't base my level of success on who is or isn't president. My own efforts will drive my career growth.

That's still only like $50k or possibly less if not salaried and don't get paid for time off. Not poor but not well off either.

I do budget well but its not enough. With all my bills + rent that's like 1200 right there. Then there is food, and gas (which I hear gas is is up by a dollar gallon soon on average) all adds up. Of course my pay fluctuates and that 24 an hour is just an average. So if I'm lucky I might be able to pocket 400 a month. So yeah I'm freaking poor

You're not poor if you're able to put $400 away each month in savings lol

I live in the ghetto and rarely do I have extra money for anything. I am poor

You're not living paycheck to paycheck, so you're not.

Stop acting like a victim under Biden.

If you want inflation to stop, get vaccinated and encourage others to do so, so that these shortages end.

I was making more money under Trump as he lowered taxes.

That's not going to change anything man. If I get vaccinated and tell like maybe 3 other people and they do it is not going stop inflation.

This has been debunked as most people ended up paying more taxes unless they were in the 1%, and you're clearly not.

People not missing work and not dying means products will continue to be produced in a quantity that meets demand. This isn't even difficult dude.

Do you think the shortages are coincidental with the pandemic?

When I filed my 2018 taxes my return was significantly lower.

If you're relying on the president to change your life, you're going to be waiting a long fucking time.

Get better, do better.
