The same man who promised to slash prices CAUSED massive #inflation by ignoring/dismissing the #pandemic, resulting in a #SupplyChainCrisis.

The same who guy got himself reelected over high grocery prices, immediately instituted two policies guaranteed to cause grocery prices to explode: Deporting millions of #immigrant #FarmWorkers and imposing #tariffs on our largest produce exporters.

Pity "stupidity" isn't painful. 🤦‍♂️

@Jestbill @Jonstewartmill @godpod
Actually, it kinda is (Dems fault.)

We had Media Outlets like #MeidasTouch & #TheLincolnProject creating TONS of great hard-hitting ads for free, and they didn't push a single one of them.

The #DNC also allowed T**** to get away with blaming #Biden for #inflation caused by Mango's #SupplyChainCrisis due to his mishandling of #Covid. And high #egg prices due to #BirdFlu.

They just assumed outrage over #Roe would be enough.

One must INFORM the misinformed.

@Kierkegaanks
He is right about #Harris supporters not seeing the magnitude of the "anti-woke" movement.

But many of us were screaming for months about the lack of "debunking" of all this RW insanity:

Children AREN'T receiving MAJOR gender reassignment surgery at school and home in time for dinner. 🤦‍♂️

Inflation was caused by the #SupplyChainCrisis that resulted from T**** ignoring the pandemic.

Border crossings are lower now than before the pandemic.

I blame the #DNC.

T**** got himself elected making a huge deal out of #inflation (once over 9% due to the #SupplyChainCrisis HE created by ignoring #Covid) and #illegal #immigration (which fell substantially once #Biden circumvented obstructionist #Republicans.)

SO I'M POSTING THIS SNAPSHOT of where the country currently stands for comparison four years from now (UPDATED):

🚨 **The U.S. Longshoremen’s Plight** ⚓💪

Right now, 45,000 dockworkers are **on strike** from Maine to Texas, marking their first strike since 1977. Why? They’re fighting for **fair wages** and job security in the face of increasing automation at U.S. ports. 📦🚢

### 🔑 **Key Issues:**
- **Wages**: The longshoremen are demanding a **77% pay increase** over six years to catch up with inflation. They currently make a base salary of ~$81k, but many work large amounts of overtime to make more. 💰

- **Automation**: The workers are calling for a **ban on automation** (cranes, gates, container-moving trucks), fearing robots could take their jobs. They want to protect the human workforce from being replaced by machines. 🤖🚫

The strike affects 36 ports handling half of the nation’s cargo, and could lead to **higher prices** and product shortages if it continues, especially as the holidays approach! 🛒🎁

### 🌊 What will happen next?

@w7voa
The #Biden Admin needs to resolve the #Longshoreman #strike ASAP.

Not only will it tank the #economy just ahead of the #election (playing into #DementiaDon's strongest issue), but just like the #SupplyChainCrisis, it will increase prices and teach companies how much we are willing to pay for everything (people are STILL waiting for prices to fall to pre-Covid levels but never will.)

This strike will raise prices even more & not return after the strike ends if not resolved ASAP. 😒

#NBCNews asked people to complete this statement:

"The economy is..."

2 out of 3 responses were negative.

So they asked an ACTUAL #economist what condition the #economy is in.

Record low unemployment. Inflation lower than the day T**** left office (after he sparked a #SupplyChainCrisis.) #DOW & S&P500 hitting record highs.

People keep expecting prices to fall back down to before companies discovered how much we're willing to pay. But who they blame varies greatly.
