You can’t afford groceries? Try getting a better job.

This is not about me, it is about most Americans.

Get out there and better yourself, there are a crap ton of good jobs.

Go back and get your GED, that alone will open up door for you.

My 28 year old daughter with just a BSN is pulling in close to 200 grand in salary plus a bonus on top of that.

I'm retired....

If you look at any study on the economy people say "I am doing fine but others are not". Seems like the others dont actually take polls or post on USMB.

Biden has led the country into records alright. Record evictions, record mortgage delinquencies, record auto loan defaults, record credit card debt, record withdraws from retirement accounts. No wonder Trump is tied or beating Biden in every single swing state. Your nonsense you post is realized every time Americans go to the grocery store. It boggles my mind how you think you can sugar coat things when Americans have to go to the grocery every week. They don't see what you see.

Record evictions and mortgage delinquencies occurred in 2008 and 2009 because of the collapse of W's housing bubble.

People were falling behind on their payments in early 2023, but that situation has improved with lower unemployment, falling gas prices, and higher wages throughout 2024. Even FOX stopped pushing this narrative last Fall.

Once again, you read only sources which cannot pass a simple fact check. This is why you know NOTHING.

• Overall, we would rate Investors Business Daily Right Biased based on right-leaning economic and market positions. We would also give them a High factual rating on strictly investing and market news. However, editorially IBT is clearly a Questionable source with the promotion of right-wing conspiracy theories and numerous failed fact checks. In sum, we rate them far-right Biased and Mixed for factual reporting.

Failed Fact Checks​

• IBD editorial board claims that cap-and-trade is unpopular in America – FALSE
• Private health insurance not banned on page 16 of the House bill – PANTS ON FIRE
• Investor’s Business Daily editorial misrepresents study to claim plants will prevent dangerous climate change – FALSE
• Was it recently revealed that the U.S. found uranium in Iraq after the invasion in 2003 – FALSE

Investors Business Daily – Bias and Credibility

RIGHT BIAS These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may

Americans are having trouble NOW paying for groceries, rents and mortgages, cars, credit cards, and are depleting their savings and retirement accounts.

The Biden wins keep piling up! Another record year of travel with the least amount of cancellations in a decade, 1.2%. Pete and Joe are demonstrating what competent leadership looks like. They recently fined SouthWest $140M. The airlines know they aren’t messing around.

2023 by the Numbers: More Flights, Fewer Cancellations, More Consumer Protections​

WASHINGTON — U.S. aviation ended 2023 on a better note for passengers with the lowest flight cancellation rate in at least 10 years, alongside expanded consumer protections for travelers.

“Thanks to the tireless work of our nation's aviation safety professionals, millions of travelers were able to fly safely and without disruption last year,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “We are glad to see this 10-year low rate of cancellations, and our Department will continue to take every step to ensure air travel is smooth and safe for passengers in the new year."

In 2023, there were 16.3 million flights and a cancellation rate below 1.2 percent, the lowest rate in a decade.According to the Transportation Security Administration, 2023 was also the busiest year for air travel ever.

Travel around Christmas and New Year’s was notably smooth. From Sunday, Dec. 17, 2023, to Monday, January 1, 2024, the cancellation rate was just 0.8 percent despite a record number of passengers flying during the busy holiday season. The cancellation rate during that same period in 2022 was 8.2 percent.

Southwest Airlines fined record $140 million by DOT over 2022 holiday travel meltdown

The civil penalty leveled against the airline is about 30 times larger than any previous fine against an airline, DOT officials said in a press release.

With airlines flying fewer flights, obviously there will be further cancelations

A rather sad thing to celebrate

Americans are having trouble NOW paying for groceries, rents and mortgages, cars, credit cards, and are depleting their savings and retirement accounts.

That's because wages haven't really gone up for working Americans since Reagan was in office, and Republicans keep crashing the economy.

Wake up and pay attention, fool.
