No Job is going to pay what I'm making now. I pretty much make like 24 an hour
There are lots of jobs that pay more than that... depends on what you do. You may be surprised. The job market is kinda crazy in a number of industries. I thought I was well paid before I got this new job and if anything I feel overpaid for what I do lol. You never know what a competitor is willing to pay if theyre hurting for people.

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?
Sure but me getting vaccinated won't change anything dude.

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

It does. It means you're unlikely to get sick or be an asymptomatic carrier and make others sick.

...are you unvaccinated against covid or something?

A guy complaining about inflation due to shortages happens to be a guy also exacerbating the situation.

You've demonstrated in this topic that it's not going to be possible to have an intelligent discussion with you on this.

I just hope you don't spread covid to some legitimately immunocompromised individuals.

Thanks for prolonging this btw.

Antivaxxers have prolonged the pandemic and that's not up for debate.

If you think otherwise that's a you problem.

An antivaxxer of all people trying to call someone else delusional is kinda hilarious though.

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.

You kinda still do. Have you seen the hundreds of voter suppression bills the GOP has been proposing and they've passed more then a few. Mostly state level shit

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.

drilling for more oil is not the answer tho.

Why do MAGAs just say straight up lies like this, as if we won't debunk their claims?

Falling for the political theatre, probably.
Biden made a very public to halt leases, to appeal to the hippie base, knowing full well that it would be overturned, and nobody's noticed that it's been "drill baby drill" since. I don't think the president has any direct control over resource leases anyway, other than saying "stop that".

Approving permits submitted a year ago isn't really an incentive, it is just normal course of business

Bureau of Land Management is an executive entity that's theoretically controlled by the president, but the presidents rarely bother with it outside of slogans.

There's actually a definition of poverty, as the other poster pointed out. You make well above the poverty line, so no you aren't.
