Okay I had two bites at the apple on this today, but I posted a thread earlier and then realized it might make a good pic

Are you better off than you were four years ago?

This is full of shit and they know it
As the old saying goes, a text out of context is a pretext. Many Americans suffered economically due to states' Covid shutdowns? Wowzers! I'll bet the Sun will rise in the east tomorrow, too! BUT, Part 1, before the Covid shutdowns Trump's economy was doing very well, unlike OhBummer!'s stagnated economy. BUT, Part 2, the US economy was already recovering in June 2020.
Speaking personally, I am not better off now than 4 years ago. I am worse off due to inflation, though not painfully, yet. Many others are hurting much worse, and they are the ones Dems should fear.

If SquirrelG posted that on X/Twitter, it would have been tagged with community notes as completely full of mis and disinformation. Because it is utter hogwash, and implies that President Trump created the Chinese Wuhan Red Death.

Comparing the period when the pandemic was in full swing, versus years later when it's not? What a horrible comparison.

When the pandemic started I had a full time job and could pay the bills. As it went along my hours were cut and then the company I worked for was replaced by another. Then after two weeks I decided that it wasn't going to work out with the new company ( It happened when the new supervisior doesn't listen to the guy who had worked the job site for 8 years) so I left to go work for another security company and started to have issues with my back which later made me quit because of having degenerative arthritis of the spine making it hard to stand or walk for long periods of time. So I retired and am now living on around 2K a month and it's not working.

I was "lucky" in the sense that both my company and my job within the company were deemed "essential". So for 6 or 8 weeks I split time between doing the necessary hands-on work at my bench at work, collecting information there, and then using that information to compose reports on what my tests had found. Since May 2020 I've working in my company building (while I did get Covid, 1/21, the exposure was not on the job).

That Lord Marblehead can only feel free to post that on his own site where critical examination isn't allowed is all one needs to know.

Other threads over there attempted to pose the question again. Because they were not Earl's thread, there was slightly more candor. Try posting this on X, DUmmies, and see what happens.
Also, what they're trying to do is to take a specific point in time, say, April 2020 with all the uncertainties, lockdowns, shortages, etc. and compare it with right now, when you can actually purchase toilet paper. But people are going to be thinking 2017-2020 vs. 2020-2024.

Telling truths DU-folk will find unpleasant risks a granite pizza. These charts from the St. Louis Fed and TWSJ might earn one if posted on Earl's thread:
* From the St. Louis Fed, https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDPC1/ , US Gross Domestic Product. It shows that the US economy started recovering in early-mid 2020, not early 2021 when Biden was President. The scale can be changed, for example to 2020-01-01 in the start box and 2021-01-01 in the end box, to show what happened in 2020.
* Similarly changing the Range of this chart to 5Y(ear), https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/index/DJIA/advanced-chart , shows that the Dow started recovering in the first half of 2020, not after LIEden entered office.

The country is a mess in more ways than one. The dummies like politicians can never admit that they are wrong were that their policies hurt rather than help the American people. The dummies will keep waving their flag, and following their leaders off a cliff, even though it’s not in their best interest
