Not parroting a thing, you poor idiot. You're so incapable of thinking on your own you think no one else can, either. It's just an alien concept to you.
First: ever worked for a poor person?
Well, I've worked for a couple of rich ones who decided to go to automation and eliminate jobs the second they could afford to, which is almost always what happens. I love how you want to trust "the benevolent rich." They're just doing what's in their own interest... they don't give a
shit about their workers. Big business already has skads of capital that they can re-invest in expansion if they want to. Give them more money and they do what they're already doing with most of their money -- socking it away in the stock market, where it doesn't really help anybody but them.
Trickle down does not work. I know shitbags like you are trained to say stuff like "ever work for a poor person" (and
you want to talk about "parrots") [/i]but... how much goddamn trial run do you need to prove to you something doesn't fucking work? America's been doing that "trickle down" shit for decade after decade and things only get worse.
It. Does. Not. Fucking. WORK. If that's not the case, why does economic inequality keep getting wider?
Know what does work? Soaking up.
If you want to create jobs, you give tax breaks to the poor and middle, because that's who
spends more money when they have more of it. And what do they spend it on? Goods and services... made by the companies, which would
also benefit from giving the lower classes tax breaks. With a greater demand for goods and services, due to people being able to afford more of them, they'd not only be able to expand their businesses... they'd
need to, because that's how they'd make more money.
Right now they don't really give a damn about producing anything, because their tax breaks and shit have fixed it so they don't
need to produce anything. That's one reason we're seeing shortages -- because they don't care. Actually
making something or providing goods and services isn't even necessary for a lot of these corporations, thanks to playing the market. Why spend money producing when they can make just as much fucking around with the stock market and crypto, etc. This country, unfortunately, has been moving away from actually having to
make things as a means to get rich. Hell, the most lucrative job now is telling lies to conservative pieces of shit
like you on YouTube or wherever. Televangelism scam gone big-time. Does Joe Rogan really provide a needed service? Nope, and yet he's making millions, creating almost no jobs. Take, take, take. It's a televangelism scam, and it's viable because of apologists like you, buying whatever bullshit they feed you. Every time some conservative spouts some culture-war bullshit that makes you happy, they follow it up with some bunch of lies and you crane your neck and open your mouth like a baby bird to gulp that shit down.
Second: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/heres-how-us-gas-prices-compare-to-other-countries/ar-AAYfrgW
So you mean gas prices are lower in Venezuela and Saudi Arabia? Oh no, ya got me!
If America actually had the oil to pump, we'd be pumping it. You really think Biden would let his poll numbers sink just to be spiteful to the oil companies? Nope. We don't have Venezuela's prices because we don't have Venezuela's resources. This whole "we could be energy independent but the libs just don't want us to be 'cuz oooooo, they just hate America
so much!" scenario is an idiotic myth, so stupid that even
you wouldn't buy into it if you were
able to reason at all.
Third: he's also obviously referring to batteries. But here's the panel issue as well. https://www.bqprime.com/china/solar-jobs-2021-how-china-beat-u-s-to-become-world-s-solar-champion
America has 'bout all the lithium it needs, if they wanted to mine it. They just get it from other places 'cuz it's cheaper to import it than it is to set up the apparatus to mine it. And safer for the environment. But even if we'd rather let other countries wreck themselves, we can get it from South America cheaper, anyway. Dude's whining about China is still simple-minded silliness. Batteries are not a resource that would be unavailable to us, if we wanted to pursue it. But we still don't, on any major scale, because the petroleum industry is standing in the way because they're trying to make their last big "Superfly" score before dwindling resources force them out of the game.
Now, because I'm not wasting two posts on you (I always feel like I'm counterproductive even talking to you, since appeasing your loneliness for a few minutes by interacting is getting in the way of you substance-abusing yourself to death and taking a burden off everyone unfortunate enough to be around you) let's go ahead and cover this, too, 'cuz it's just too much, coming from you, personally:
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rate for Asians declined to 2.4 percent in May. The jobless rates for adult men (3.4 percent), adult women (3.4 percent), teenagers (10.4 percent), Whites (3.2 percent), Blacks (6.2 percent), and Hispanics (4.3 percent) showed little or no change over the month. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
Sure, that's a bad stat... but do you
really expect anybody to believe that
you, who've damn near broke your weak, spindly little gimp neck to defend neo-Nazi scum at every opportunity, is weeping about black unemployment? You, who have openly labeled Black Lives Matter as a "terrorist organization" and made them one of your biggest boogeymen, all because black folks not wanting to be murdered by cops is inconvenient to you? We're supposed to buy that this is
really a thing that concerns you, other than just a way to take a shot at Biden.
Yeah, right.
Man,
FUCK YOU for even
trying that shit here. You have been a goddamn bigot every chance you've gotten on this place. Ever wonder why I'm so openly hostile to you, when I've managed to have at least occasional somewhat-civil exchanges with every other conservative on here? It's because you've gone out of your way doing bigoted racist hate-mongering, Nazi-defending, attacking-everybody-who-stands-against-racists shit every chance you get. And you think you're not racist just because you don't just come out and say the N-word or whatever. Buddy, you don't
have to say it, not when your stance on every racial issue melds
exactly to neo-Nazis. Every. Damn. One. Every. Damn. Time. You're a little piece of Stormfront on this board, and you're not even honest about it -- probably not even with yourself. And I don't say that about anybody else who regularly posted here, because i don't think they'd deserve it. Just you. Because you, alone, have earned it.
So you can spare us the "I'll cry about black unemployment when it's politically convenient" because... you don't fucking care. You don't. You don't care if minorities
die, much less find work. You have
more than established that. You don't care about anybody but you. And all you do is spread misery. You've fucked up your life so much that's really all you have left. It's the only reason you stay here.
I really don't think I've had a lower opinion of or less respect for anyone in my life. Congratulations.
