A right wing conspiracy is incumbent on it being publicly shared as many times as possible before any fact checking can prove it’s bs.

The biden thing is elder abuse. Parading this once proud old man around in his very diminished capacity. I’m not saying this is the democratic voters fault but whomever is behind this is sick.
We both need better leaders
Yes please save us from diminished capacity old man who has overseen a U.S. economy that is rebounding from the pandemic faster than the rest of the developed world; almost $100 billion invested in domestic manufacturing jobs in 2023; inflation rates plummeting from the 9% range to around 4.0%, and a 3.7% unemployment rate that is the lowest since the 1960s.
END THE NIGHTMARE!

Biden needs worthy opposition, and it's nowhere in sight. I sleep well knowing he is my president.

So the government forces us to shut our doors for covid
Then they offer to make a percentage payment to retain each employee to pay them for the time they were forced to take off. Key word being employee
You pay that money to the employee so the employee can survive
Companies like mine do not pay people not to work
Let me know how this fits your criteria at all
Let me know how this is even remotely comparable to paying off loans that people personally took out
How would you handle kids that didn't go to college because they didn't want to or couldn't take on the debt?
How about kids that went right to work?
Or the thousand other scenarios that make this a terrible idea

Next your gonna tell me reparations would be a good idea
Or that we America stole this land
Or any of the other left leaning silly ideas
The government faced an unprecedented viral pandemic in a society that moves around like none other in history. I was not forced to do anything. Just like your business mine was exempt. Many were not exempt because of the close contact between customers. It was bad for the economy but the lives it saved justified the temporary shut downs for those most vulnerable. I think many of the shut downs began with DJT.

You keep saying forced. Were you forced to do anything like take the money from the government or to stop working? Especially because you say that you do not pay employees to not work I am wondering if you took the money from the government.

Student loans were given to help students get an education. Education helps the students get jobs. Education is therefore a job creator. Corporations are called job creators and get all sorts of welfare from reduced impact fees to tax benefits. You should know this.

Young people who do not go to college generally do go right to work or live off someone else. Those who are motivated to work and lost work because of the temporary shut downs got help from the government. It was handled.

I do not think reparations is practical but I do understand the discussion. America took land from Native Americans. I think we should own our faults, listen and find functional solutions. Your "left leaning" statement is worse than silly. It borders inhuman. I really hope you figure that out one day before you cross that border...

The same anti-socialist people who “don’t pay employees not to work” sure didn’t mind the government stepping up to pay their employees not to work while grifting 75% of that money.
This is also the same anti-affirmative action crowd that loves the favorite Republican affirmative action program known as the electoral college and totally fair legacy admissions.

Nah, let the process play out. No slinking off into "retirement". He also knows he'll likely face sanctions from the Supreme Court.

How many lives did shutting down our economy save?
Are you seriously stating Trump regulated the shutdowns?
Our office staff was forced to stay home
I was not forced to take PPP money but I did, why wouldn't I?
I took exactly what was used to compensated our staff which was the intent of the program
Education is not a job creator on any level in any way
Give me an example of welfare or reduced impact fees any corporation gets
Employers should get tax benefits based on the amount of employees they have (directly proportional with the amount of taxes they pay)
The ppp money was greatly mishandled not handled
America took our land from which native Americans? and who did they take it from? and who did they take it from? If possible try to be accurate in your accusation so it will be easy to break down your argument. Every single country and piece of ground existing today has been taken from someone else at some point in time.
Sorry if your feeling got hurt by me calling some of the left leaning ideas silly

Nothing like making up stats to try to make a point
How could you possibly say the amount of money that was misused?
Affirmative action is extremely racist at best, it was required in the past but we will never move forward under the current process
Please enlighten me on your jump between AA and the electoral college
This ought to be good

Making up stats? I provided a link, one of many available, in a post you responded to.
You get the the jump, but just can’t bring yourself to admit it and unsurprisingly you didn’t comment on legacy admissions.

One life is worth more than all the money in this world. ONE HUMAN LIFE

Yes

You take government money and then complain that you were "forced" by the socialist left liberal radicals. Then you complain about the socialist radical left running the ship that was being run by DJT and his inept staff at the time this all started including the vaccines which he pushed through the FDA. All I can do is point out this out to you but I can not help you with your hatred of something that does not exist like the boogeyman.

Two people want a job at your business. You have one opening. One applicant completed college and during the interview seems to be motivated to work but has no work references. One applicant dropped out of high school and seems to be motivated to work but has no work references. A good businessman would choose the college educated applicant. This is reality. You are choosing an alternative reality that is based on your political brain washing.

Publix, Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, Bass Pro Shops, Amazon...all of the so called job creators are given tax, fee or land incentives to bring their job creator businesses.

The Trump administration was in office during the establishment of the PPP program and he took full credit for it back then. I would not doubt if he criticizes it now. Brothers Osborne wrote a song "Not my Fault" to describe the way trumpy and his aides governed. You should watch the video for a laugh or two.

If you were a Native American you would see things a lot differently. If you were an African American you would see things a lot differently. All I can do is tell you to listen to their words and think with your brain and try to use more positive emotion. We promised Native Americans productive Land so their culture would continue to exist. Then we moved them off that land to the dessert. We took. We take. You justify. If you have a conscience and you can read or listen there is no way you would ask the question you just asked...

Lets make sure we correct what your emotional mind has twisted up
The government forced business's to shut down
Then they offered money to help employers compensate employees during the forced shutdown
No one brought up 'the socialist left liberal radicals' thats your fabrication based on your emotion

Trump shaved years off of the vaccines roll out time by cutting away red tape
People like me didn't care because we were smart enough not to take an unnecessary vaccine, we let our bodies work the way they were intended, your side went absolutely bonkers over this fact and we absolutely loved it and still do

To say a 'good businessman' would hire someone based on a college degree tells me so much about you
There are a lot of educated idiots and smart people that never graduated high school
I've been in business for 28 years and I couldn't care less about a college degree in my field

Companies that create jobs should be given incentives because they employee people

PPP was started under Trump and the botched roll out was under biden. Just look up the money dispersed against local companies you know and you will see how grossly mishandled it was. Like it or not that is on this administration.

At my core I'm an adult man and a businessman. I rarely use emotion in decisions. Men like me leave that to others. That being said I don't put people in more then 2 boxes. I don't care what color you are, where you come from, who you sleep with, who your parents are, what your religion is, ect. I only care about what I judge as good vs not good those are my only 2 categories. Your side loves to seperate people into as many boxes as possible so everyone can fight with each other. Time will fix this once we can get the lefts ideology out of the way.

I noticed you didn't tell me which native Americans we took whatever land from because you know your argument is flawed. I'm not justifying anything that anyone did as far as taking land but being an adult I'm able to research history and I wouldn't judge people based on what they thought they had to do. Every single piece of ground on this rock has changed hands numerously over time, this is the way of things. In typical leftist fashion you complain but do nothing. If you are so upset about the atrocities' of the past then fix them. Buy up all the land you can and find some native Americans and give it to them, it will make you feel great. Take all of your money and give it to the descendant of a slave, it will make you feel great. If you are against guns then don't own one. If you don't like America then leave.

Your problem, and I don't just mean you personally, I mean everyone that thinks like you, is a lack of conviction. If you believe in something then be its champion but you won't because talk is cheap and words are easy. You can give up whatever you want right this second to whomever you feel has been wronged and it will make you feel great.

' If you have a conscience and you can read or listen there is no way you would ask the question you just asked...' What question are you referring to?
