And yet he's got GDP higher then Trump ever got it, unemployment lower then Trump ever got it, has the country with the lowest inflation rate anywhere in the world, is bring billions of dollars in infrastructure projects to states that badly need it, did more for improving the scheduling of cannabis then any President before him (although still far short of what should have been done). Managed to visit two active warfronts in the same year (which is two more then Commander Bone Spurs ever did). All of which is pretty good for someone you claim can barely walk or talk.
At the same time Trump has manage to get himself indicted 4 times and charged with 91 felonies, has been found guilty of business fraud and is on the verge of losing his ablity to conduct business in the state of New York as well as having all of his best real estate assets go into recievership to insure he pays of the quarter of a billion minimum in fines he's facing because of years of fraud. Maybe he could be doing better on those fronts if he ever figures out whether he's in Sioux Falls, South Dakota or Sioux City, Iowa
Yeah but you left out the part about how this was a pregnancy forced on her as the result of rape. You leave information like that out and these MAGA morons are liable to assume she got pregnant playing doctor with the cute boy down the street and is now seeking abortion because her monthly allowence is too low to afford to raise a child.
and they say nobility is dead
I did not leave anything out. Everything you wrote after your first sentence is noise in your head.

When one's income leaves them broke, or even somewhat in red ink each pay period, and they have a family that demands time as well, where is this investment income going to come from? Where is the relocation money coming from, and the money to acquire new housing in an area where rents often track at least somewhat with local economies and incomes, where is that money required to improve these things coming from?
A creative hobby for wholesome R&R.
Simple. Bootstraps!
Glad to see you made it Mr. Bezos!!
Please, act like my mom and tell me how I've done everything wrong in my life. And never, ever admit that even if you do everything right you can still get fucked by that little thing called "Life".

For some in severe depressed income areas, it can marginally come from Black Marketeering, whether that means after-hours unlicensed drinking or gambling establishments, retailing stolen goods, selling uninspected farm meats, or dealing dope.
And many of the same entities who maintain this inequity to their own advantage in one way or another, are the first to bitch about the Black Market and advocate for harsher penalties for engaging in such.
Yet in some places, the only way some parts of our society can actually make ends meet is to engage in Black Marketeering.... After which the good upstanding capitalists can accuse them of moral depravity, while they sometimes engage in white collar crime, with little to no consequences.
The people who complain loudest about the various Black Markets, essentially make them a necessity

I, and many other parents don’t want our children getting medical procedures of any kind unbeknownst to the parent.
For example. Birth control can have many severe side effects. With the parents out of the loop, they don’t know to be on the lookout for side effects.
So you believe that parents should be involved with their children's health for the well being of the child? Is this correct?
What happens when those same parents deny their children health care based on religious beliefs? Do you extend that same consideration to parents who attempt to pray away their child's treatable cancer?
I think I understand where you are coming from. You love your children and feel they could come to you with any problem they had and you would work through it together. And you can't fathom how any parent couldn't do the same thing.
Have you ever heard the phrase, "Not in my house." followed by the sound of a belt being removed? I have. Luckily not in my own house but a childhood friends. And that was a boy and a girl playing doctor. Not a boy and a boy or a girl and a girl.

Where are you getting your information? America's inflation rate is one of the higher ones amongst the developed world. It also has one of the highest debt to GDP rations in the world, currently ranked #11. Not that it's on Biden, but the US economy isn't as great as you're presenting.

Inflation is a persistent increase in the overall price level of goods and services in an economy over time. It is one of the most closely watched economic indicators as it affects the purchasing power of a currency. Inflation can be caused by various factors such as an increase in the money...

And from the perspective of being outside the US, Trump was a fucking joke, he did a more damage to the image of the US abroad than any other president, by far. But Joe Biden is also a lame duck and a lot of us see the US actions in the middle east and Ukraine as inflammatory, not positive in any way, and potentially leading us into WW III. This "But, he's not Trump" bullshit doesn't really mean shit to the countries who are still being bombed, their resources still being pilfered, their journalists still being silenced, the head of the snake still belongs to a snake.
The American empire is in a steady decline and it doesn't matter who sits in the drivers seat, your too far off the road to come back now.

Don't tell anyone, but the American Empire has been in decline for well over 30 years, and I was hearing criticisms in various other 1st world countries from both friends and acquaintances re. our ivory tower affliction for at least that length of time.Where are you getting your information?

As Ed in Carcross Yukon said in the later 1990s said, (Ed's now deceased), "The American Empire is no more. It's just that the sounds of your ivory towers crashing into the sea hasn't yet reached your ears."
