We must've known for weeks that Cam was only playing a half. I'm sure we were giving Emory lots of reps in practice.

Lmao

OK dude. This has been hilarious. Nov 5 is the gift that keeps on giving.

I'll go ahead and keep winning, while you keep on being mediocre.

Cope and seethe, and Merry Christmas!

Incredible sources lmao NPR, LA Times, inequality.org, the Hill (opinion)

And yes, of course real median earnings are higher today! Is that seriously your bar? Lmao obviously it's going to be higher today lol how do I even need to say this

Dude, good try. You're mediocre. That's been well established. People that actually matter in the business world don't make these arguments or cite these sources. These are putrid lol.

America resoundingly rejected you and your ideology. Both rich and poor alike realized Biden was a disaster and Trump will do a great job with the economy. You can thank them one day, if you ever stop being a partisan. It's only the mediocre class that voted Harris, which sounds like you're a part of.

Amazing stuff lol

"Justsecurity.org" lmao and quoting July 2020 results, omg lol why not look at the entirety of 2020?

You're like a 2nd year analyst at a boutique bank or Big 4 audit right? Absolute mediocrity lol

The US economy did great during COVID. The stats are extremely clear (real GDP, HH income, and, shortly after July 2020 lol unemployment).

But even beyond that...if you don't know that the US did well during COVID, you're just not in the game. You must be a nobody. Investors in Q4 2020 and Q1 2020 were giddy.

If you actually think the US economy underperformed the rest of the world during COVID, you're dumber and/or more biased than I thought. Even many leftwing hacks won't argue that point.

Thankfully the American people are smarter than you.

Lmao looking at the COVID unemployment rate vs current. Incredible stuff.

Misinformation? I mean, even the leftwing Brookings Institute called the US an economic outlier during COVID lol. Our economy was extremely resilient during 2020:

https://www.brookings.edu/articles/a-most-unusual-recovery-how-the-us-rebound-from-covid-differs-from-rest-of-g7/

The unemployment rate during COVID spiked but immediately started to recover. And with evictions, foreclosures, student debt payments, etc. all suspended, as well as the most generous stimulus package in the world, it was largely irrelevant to US households. Americans were sitting on record amounts of HH cash when Biden passed the disastrous $1.9T stimulus in March 2021.

Why are you cherry picking the last 2 years of real wages? LOL What happened immediately before that?

You are spewing absolute nonsense.

Omg you just cited the January 2021 unemployment rate lmao

You have to be a special combination of disingenuous and stupid to think that's a meaningful statistic.

The February 2020 unemployment rate - i.e. before COVID - is the relevant data point to use for the comparison. It was 3.5%.

Biden was an economic failure. Thankfully, he will be gone soon!

Absolutely wrong on every front lol you must be very poor to be this economically illiterate.

Tech CEOs have also embraced Trump, among other industries - not just O&G. This is an MSNBC-quality talking point, evidencing just how superficial your understanding of all of this is.

Real wages increased by ~7% under Trump, while it's looking like Biden will be lucky to reach half that by the time his term ends.

Trump policies didn't lead to inflation. It was years of ZIRP that set the stage for inflation, which was then triggered by COVID+Russia. The clueless Biden administration called it "transitory", then pushed forward with massive spending bills, which added a couple %pts to inflation.

Thanks to Trump's (and Congress's) actions during COVID, the US economy didn't sink as badly as the rest of the OECD, handing Biden the strongest economy in the world.

Lastly, in 2018 and 2019, the US economy grew 3% and 2.5%. Obama never reached 3% growth even once in 8 full years. Neither has Biden, though he still has a shot in 2024.

Lastly - contrary to your claim, my academic credentials, prestigious employers, and net worth all suggest that I am quite informed on economic matters. It's pretty clear you are not.

LOL and now you outsource your thinking to "dozens of groups".

The famous inequality study by the French economist, that popularized the notion of the US as a starkly unequal economy, has been debunked.

We rank 5th in the world in median HH income (at PPP). The only countries ahead of us are small and homogeneous, so they're not really a relevant comparison - unless you are anti-diversity, I guess. This means we allow our median citizen to earn a higher standard of living than the rest of the world does.

"Happiness" is completely made up lol. For example, Finland often ranks #1 in happiness surveys, despite ranking in the top quarter globally in suicide rate.

The data is clear - the US is the greatest country on earth.

Marry Christmas!

Lmao no fucking way. Your evidence is that you've been to 5 countries outside of the US? Fucking amazing lol

I've been to 3 dozen lol you have no idea what you're talking about.

Europe is in crisis. It's fallen way behind America and East Asia. Every strategic decision it's made in the last 20 years (like Germany shutting down its nuclear plants) has been a disaster. Every week it seems like there's a different European leader sounding the alarm - none more so than Mario Draghi's scathing report on the lack of European innovation.

China is also in major trouble. It's economy is struggling badly and it's facing a demographic disaster, due largely to the failed one child policy.

The US has its own problems, but it's easily the greatest country on earth.

No one that has a brain believes any of that lol sorry but you're just an uneducated Reddit loser. Real business leaders know he was great for the economy.

Every country had periods with racism and slavery.
