President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Chris Christie may be a gasbag, but he flat took it to Trump tonight.

 

What’s sad is before he got a taste of power, he was a cool dude. He did good in the California legislature actually working with Dems. It was when he saw a chance to control things in the House he started to get weird. He’s no Roy Ashburn.

 

good good good

The Dow was at 19,800 in March 2020.

It was 28,300 in August 2020.

Businesses were "being shuttered" in March. The unemployment rate, which hit a high of 14.7 in April, was half that by September.

By August 2020 a lot of people were hopeful things were heading in the right direction.

 

A local columnist made a good point the other week. If you are older and already have a house, you might feel pretty OK about things, even if prices are higher than you’d like. If you are younger and/or missed out on the housing boom for whatever reason and it now looks impossible to become a homeowner, it’s grim.
