    costs on families are higher than ever

    not sure if more people are working but with a minimum wage of $7.25 what is the point of working and most places such as Wally’s Hell lowered the start pay since covid lower than $15 sometimes only paying $12 an hour if not lower

    what is made here because hardly any of just the essential everyday items depend on are made here maybe assembled here or just a small amount of parts are made here but bulk of assembled parts are not US made

    when was the economy rescued because we missed the announcement and could not tell by driving around town

    when did he rebuild infrastructure? the main artery i40 that connects east coast to west coast has a bridge that was so badly in need of repair but the state that part was in would not pay for the repairs and neither did Biden - taxes from Arkansas had to and part of those taxes came from medical cannabis sales which Biden refuses to legalize

    Biden helping veterans? my grandfather who served had to wait over twelve hours in a hospital recently nearly dying because the VA Hospital was too far away and they said to go to the nearest ER - VA was hour and half but given the wait the ER gave still though

    Meaningful gun violence reduction legislation? is there not news out everyday about someone being shot or groups of people being shot? not to mention a cop recently was the one to mishandle a gun by firing on a kid

    Do not feel like my child or their friends are protected in this day in age while they are out in public anywhere without constantly worrying about something happening when they are not home and especially do not feel like Biden is our LGBTQI+ savior - there was just someone murdered in Oklahoma

    When did he give an executive order to restore abortion rights? oh yeah he just less than quartered assed it and is now looking for credit for doing 100% of the work that was needed and is asking for payment mean donations

    Wife still has this student debt and the school she went to is a technical college that leeches tax money from our county from property taxes and the like and know she is not the only person still with this problem so this one is just words on a webpage as well

    when did he and prosecutor Harris end the failed approach to cannabis? it is legal in all fifty states and all cannabis users have been released and or pardoned? must have missed this entirely or are you not living in the same United States on the Planet Earth as we are or?

    when did those two ever advocate or do anything to advance equity and racial justice including historic criminal justice reforms? What about cop city? What about the campaign promises for police reform which might have helped with making this statement a reality

    what environmental reforms did he help with exactly? again have you been outside lately

    not sure about the numbers on how many people are insured but the quality and amount of medical staff are very poor and not adequately staffed

      Not something the President can do.

      what is made here because hardly any of just the essential everyday items depend on are made here maybe assembled here or just a small amount of parts are made here but bulk of assembled parts are not US made

      Also the CHIPS Act

      when was the economy rescued because we missed the announcement and could not tell by driving around town

      Economies worldwide have taken a shit and the US is doing better than pretty much any other nation. So maybe it isn’t great but comparatively it’s pretty good.

      when did he rebuild infrastructure?

      …the main artery i40 that connects east coast to west coast has a bridge…

      Are you talking about the one that ArDOT was supposed to be inspecting but didn’t?

      Biden helping veterans? my grandfather who served had to wait over twelve hours in a hospital recently nearly dying because the VA Hospital was too far away and they said to go to the nearest ER - VA was hour and half but given the wait the ER gave still though

      Sorry your grandfather had to go through that but where does he live and what was his problem? There can’t be a VA hospital on every corner and unless his problem is service related he should be to a regular hospital anyway.

      Also, https://www.va.gov/wilmington-health-care/news-releases/at-the-direction-of-president-biden-va-is-expanding-health-care-eligibility-to-millions-of-veterans/

      Meaningful gun violence reduction legislation? is there not news out everyday about someone being shot or groups of people being shot? not to mention a cop recently was the one to mishandle a gun by firing on a kid

      Once again, the president does not introduce legislation.

      Do not feel like my child or their friends are protected in this day in age while they are out in public anywhere without constantly worrying about something happening when they are not home and especially do not feel like Biden is our LGBTQI+ savior - there was just someone murdered in Oklahoma

      All anti-LGBTQI+ legislation is at the state level.

      When did he give an executive order to restore abortion rights? oh yeah he just less than quartered assed it and is now looking for credit for doing 100% of the work that was needed and is asking for payment mean donations

      Once again… not something that can be done by EO. Abortion rights were stripped because the Republican party slow rolled Supreme Court nominations under Obama giving Trump three seats whose nominees lied to the Senate about their position.

      Wife still has this student debt and the school she went to is a technical college that leeches tax money from our county from property taxes and the like and know she is not the only person still with this problem so this one is just words on a webpage as well

      I’m still paying my student loan debt as well but he has gotten $136 billion for 3.7 million people forgiven.

      when did he and prosecutor Harris end the failed approach to cannabis? it is legal in all fifty states and all cannabis users have been released and or pardoned? must have missed this entirely or are you not living in the same United States on the Planet Earth as we are or?

      The proposal to reschedule marijuana from a class 1 to a 3 is with the DEA after the HHS recommended the change.

      when did those two ever advocate or do anything to advance equity and racial justice including historic criminal justice reforms? What about cop city? What about the campaign promises for police reform which might have helped with making this statement a reality

      You got me here mostly because it’s pushing midnight and I can’t think of anything of the top of my head. I can’t imagine that, at a minimum) Harris (a black woman) hasn’t done with work towards this.

      what environmental reforms did he help with exactly? again have you been outside lately

      https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1830

      not sure about the numbers on how many people are insured but the quality and amount of medical staff are very poor and not adequately staffed

      Without nationalized healthcare I don’t know what Biden is supposed to do about that. Also depending on where you live, state policies are driving doctors out of the state. Idaho has lost 1/4 of their OB/GYN doctors in the last year because of their policies.

      BLAB: Biden isn’t perfect but he’s a lot better than you’re giving him credit for and you’re blaming him for things he can’t control. In the end his general election opponent will likely be Trump and things are 100 times better under Biden.
