That’s an ugly-ass human bard.

Because the fed chose to solve inflation by putting downward pressure on wages. This was the only way it could ever happen.

Unless we actually tried to fix the problem in other ways than rate hikes. But since the federal government is completely dysfunctional, the only thing they could agree on was doing nothing and leaving the job to the Fed’s hammer. And we were the nails.

No, since everything we know about the LUCA is from its descendants. Microorganisms without descendants wouldn’t leave behind any evidence of their existence.

"Self-made billionaires"

Exactly, that’s the problem. Hence my criticism!

Trump is plenty criticized. He’s been pilloried by the media for the past 8 years. I don’t really think this argument makes any sense. I think cognitive bias makes Biden supporters more sensitive to this criticism, just as Trump supporters falsely believe that the media has been unfair to him.

And again, coverage about Biden “misspeaking” catches on because voters have serious concerns about his age. And because he and his advisors have deliberately attempted to hide information relating to these concerns. When the mask slips, as it did in the debate, of course it’s going to make a splash.

Trump was smart to stay out of the way and not do anything dramatic while democrats panic. However, this shooting will likely break the old Biden media cycle, and we’ll see where it goes from here. I think the media will be happy to criticize Trump once things settle and the next topic comes down the pipeline.

Of course. And there is a right way to criticize certain coverage but I don’t see the Biden camp doing this. They’re instead just using it as a shield to avoid addressing real concerns that voters have.

Interesting analysis but I don’t think biodiesel is very comparable for most people. Also, very hard to account for emissions with biofuels, so I’d be curious how accurate your numbers are.

Let me know when you figure it out because I’d like to know.

Trump people were saying the exact same thing in 2020. They were ignorant and wrong and the idea is just as ignorant and wrong today. Ignore the polls and lose the election.

I don’t think it’s a good strategy, I don’t really buy this narrative that the media is so mean to Biden, and it’s bad for society to criticize good journalists just because their coverage is unfavorable to you.

If anything, the media is too kind to Biden. They should be ruthlessly honest in reporting on political leaders.
