Pattern Noter 🇺🇸

@jtratty @alluringmedia She's not working with a full deck

@alluringmedia @patternote Lmao….just yells wrong and that’s the counter

Bush destroyed Clinton's economy. Obama fixed Bush's mess. Trump destroyed Obama's economy. Biden fixed Trump’s mess and now Trump has destroyed what Biden fixed. The biggest lie that Republicans have gotten away with is that they are better for the economy.

@Fantastic40s @alluringmedia She doesn't understand these things

@alluringmedia @patternote WHAT? He caused 20-30% inflation on necessary goods and lied to us about transitory inflation. Then because of his mess, interest rates doubled costing people who have credit card debt increased monthly payments.

Less populate doesn't equal poor. Median income in my area is 60k. Fast food pays $12-15, most starter jobs offer $20+. Many people are independent contractors in various tasks from mechanic, hvac, electrician, grass cutters, painters, plumbers, babysitters, cleaning, etc. Often making really good money. You just have to allow people to make a living without interference or taking a huge chunk off

@patternote @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab My guess would be higher population to take advantage of. No profit from a less populated, poor area.

OMG I don't care, some of us have real struggles instead of constantly trying to shit on poor people

I know first hand some of the ways in which blue states fleece you in every day life in a way purple and blue states don't. And it shows up as real economic capacity. I come from a blue city and moved to a purple town. Where i come from, the city spends 15k per person, my locality spends less than half that. I see most of these savings in my budget in the form of lower cost in housing and getting around, plus thousands a year less in state and local taxes. Daycare 40% lower than blue states. There is just so much

When people bust their ass and pay 1/3 in taxes, only to watch other's freeload off their money, it naturally invites resentment and a desire to rebalance things. Most people are okay with reasonable help for those who truly need it, but you have to admit it has become out of control. We now spend $15k in social programs for every man woman and child in America (4.5 trillion plus it's portion of the interest on the debt, for a total of 5.2 trillion. Total budget is 7 trillion). I pay 20k+ a year in taxes. So yea it's directly impacting my life, and the people on the short end of this are not the slightest bit happy about the situation.

@patternote @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab I know the world is not nice, that’s exactly why I’m having this conversation.

@bellastrega999 @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab I've seen it too, both in personal life and online. Some people even brag about it on social media

@TheRavenScalar @patternote @colleenaschwab I highly doubt that

@GenX_tra @Niner4Life_IDC @GmaBoomBoom @alluringmedia Increasing demand without allowing the productivity to increase supply to match

@Niner4Life_IDC @GmaBoomBoom @patternote @alluringmedia Biden didn’t “fix” anything He added to the inflation by increasing demand for everything when he allowed millions of people to invade our country & printing billions to send to Ukraine

@bellastrega999 @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab So why are these things the most expensive in places where taxes are the highest? You're right, it's more excessive regulation driving these things up, but they usually go together with high taxes

@patternote @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab Groceries, bills, necessities, health insurance, etc aren’t being raised bc taxes. It’s being raised bc corporations are taking advantage of us by raising prices & pocketing majority of the profit.

@bellastrega999 @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab You seem nice and you obviously mean well, but the world is not as nice as you like it to imagine. And not everything that seems like the nice thing to do is actuality the most beneficial for all involved.

@TheRavenScalar @patternote @colleenaschwab I’m sure the people you imagine make up less than half of those on it.

@peesonhydrant @rjwood48 @alluringmedia Both were really "nice guys" too

@rjwood48 @alluringmedia @patternote Wholesale inflation was 11% Retailers took it in the shorts and only passed along 9% Biden was as bad as they come. The new benchmark Jimmy Carter’s legacy is saved

@TheRavenScalar @bellastrega999 @colleenaschwab Same, my food budget is 600 for me and My child. I buy store brand and make everything at home. If i need to go to the Dr it's at least several hundred dollars, bec it's preferable to $800 a month health insurance

@bellastrega999 @patternote @colleenaschwab The crackhead is doing better than me lol

Life has not been kind. I started doing better leaving NYC for more affordable grounds, and managed basic stability despite everything. I'm in debt because i don't always have enough, and i do very much live within my means. Same car for 7 years, cook all meals at home, i don't spend money going out, etc. The high taxes is the cause of the high cost of living. Cost of living doesn't get lower by govt paying for it, it gets lower by reducing base cost. I can only afford health insurance for my son, not for myself. But I'm subsidizing everyone else's. High federal and fica taxes is what's standing in between me and medical coverage. And worst case I'll work for McDonald's, 2 jobs, so snap will never be on the table for me. That's the difference between solving your own problems and expecting others to work harder so you don't have to

@patternote @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab Well that’s the thing. You could lose everything. Apparently based on your words you’re doing just fine while paying taxes so it can’t be hurting you that much? It’s not taxes that are the issue. It’s the cost of living that’s the issue.

@TheRavenScalar @bellastrega999 @colleenaschwab That crackhead in a Benz probably also gets 3 child support checks (different men, because that's how you get the most). Maximized by the fact that she collects SNAP. You don't even need to be a crackhead to do that, the social workers love that scenario and actively encourage it

@bellastrega999 @patternote @colleenaschwab Lol! So then I “need” it too I guess. I’ll just have my boss pay me cash under the table and start selling drugs too.

@tommyparis1947 @alluringmedia That's because you're actually not stupid...

@patternote @alluringmedia To say something that stupid I would have to get paid

@rjwood48 @alluringmedia She doesn't know what those things mean

@alluringmedia @patternote So Liz you think 9% inflation and high interest rates is the definition of fixing the economy?

When i needed it i was told that $1000 a month is too much for a single person to qualify (2010). If i needed it now i would first have to lose everything I've ever worked to build. I work hard and plan ahead to make sure i never need a handout. I would benefit more from a non raided paycheck that actually allows me an emergency fund. Snap is the one thing i don't have a big issue with, it's not crazy expensive, but it's definitely not a group benefit.

@patternote @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab It’s there if you ever need it. That’s a benefit. You never know what can happen, wouldn’t you want help? Or would you want to suffer? Caring & having empathy for someone other then yourself shouldn’t be this complicated.

@tommyparis1947 @alluringmedia She does it for free

@alluringmedia @patternote How much did the DNC pay you to make this shit up

@ShamashAran You can have your own enclave as long as you don't override the laws of the country and the state.

Arguendo: What exactly IS wrong with an enclave of people who want to separate themselves from society to some degree and live under their own rules? What's the libertarian argument for allowing this? And what's the argument for NOT allowing it? Now before people go unhinged, "arguendo" means "for teh sake of argument" I'm not arguing in favor. I want the arguments against it, as if I was.

@bellastrega999 @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab We don't all benefit from these programs. That's objectively false. I don't get back anything from this but i pay plenty in taxes

@patternote @TheRavenScalar @colleenaschwab Well this post was particularly about snap. But regardless we all benefit from these programs, it’s our money and it should go back to us.

Taxpayers are exploited by socialism. Often living poorer than the people they are subsidizing. Libertarians don't want low wages, almost no one gets paid federal minimum wage. It's just that min wage increases doesn't actually solve affordability, it just makes the staples more expensive. That's how we went from $15 min wage to now we need $25 min wage. And when we reach that, it will no longer be enough either

I criticize Libertarians because they are socialists arch nemesis, as they want the de regulations, low wages, anti unions, removal of labor laws,that socialists have died fighting for. They support the capitalist system while socialists fight for the people being exploited by it
