The Epstein buzz has ran it's course, not enough people care anymore some do but like I said it's about as popular as Roswell and JFK. Nobody is losing sleep over it.

Most people can afford to live they just like to bitch and moan over nothing.

Inflation is down from the Biden admin it's a fact and job creation is is higher than expect and on the road to recovery.

Idk if other countries are actually having harder times or if they are being told they are having a harder times by their media. The media here like to tell us it;s bad because 1 they are trying to play in politics and 2 it gives them ratings and they don't care that it's factually inaccurate they just want people unhappy.

The rich will get richer unless their trust fund children squander the fortune, this is not new or surprising it's literally been the same since the dawn of time.  

Again none of this has to do with "US Exports" and I see you made you statement but frankly in my opinion it's garbage and that doesn't mean we need to derail this thread with Epstein stuff because you are bored and don't want to celebrate how awesome America is. 

Take you your boredom to the correct thread this isn't the Epstein thread.

"Our system beats everyone else's" is just patriotic posturing unless you can explain why Americans pay more for healthcare, housing, and education while wages lag inflation for years.

Epstein "running its course" doesn't mean people stopped caring.

It just means powerful people like your POTUS know scandals sometimes fade if they stall for long enough.

But this one won't...

It's never going away.

And inflation slowing isn't the same as prices going back down.

People still feel squeezed because of the essentials they can no longer afford. 

Additionally, suggesting people "just bitch and moan" ignores your record debt and rising living costs.

And blaming all bad news on media conspiracies is just lazy.

If America is genuinely awesome.

It should survive criticism without needing people to shut up and clap on command.

Your nation is in the same boat as the rest of us.

But if you wish to pretend everything is just fine and dandy, and you are the best, go right ahead...

I can only surmise that you must be one of the very privileged few.

It must be nice sometimes to be able to ignore reality and stick one's head in the sand.

Go open an inflation thread if you want to talk about it. As for everything you just posted it's irreverent. 

We are not in the same boat friend, food is affordable here door dash is not. that's not a real issue of concern.

Healthcare is expensive because of government involvement which is exactly what I said would happen when the Democrats ushered that garbage in. So the people voted for this it what they get.

Slowing is good deflation isn't good deflation usually signals severe economic trouble and can trigger a dangerous downward spiral.

Average people always feel squeezed not one point in time have they not, they just have rose colored glasses of what they experienced.

Every year has record debt again this has been the normal my entire life, and yes people just bitch and moan over nothing because they don't know what real suffering is because the last time it was truly experienced was in the depression and non of them were alive then, they have no idea what suffering is.

The corrupt media gaslighting people isn't a lazy argument it's a factual accurate argument that is legitimate and you don't like that, you not having this conversation in the correct thread is lazy on your part.

America is awesome it's not an if or state of mind, you can pretend it's not but again the reality is what it is.

You keep moving the goalposts from "America is awesome" to "stop talking about problems." LoL

If healthcare is expensive because of government involvement, explain why countries with more government involvement often pay less per person and live longer?

And saying "people always feel squeezed" isn't an argument.

It's an excuse to dismiss economic pressures and the real picture outside your window. 

Record debt being common doesn't magically make it healthy either.

And pretending modern people don't know suffering because they didn't survive the Great Depression is absurd logic.

Hardship isn't only valid if you're eating dirt in 1929.

You're basically arguing that because problems existed before, nobody should complain now.

That's not logic, it's complacency.

Awesome, yeah, best in the world at everything, no doubt.  Saint2

As to this telling people what to do malarkey, it's not really working out for you is it?

I'm not moving any goal posts, I'm not even telling you to stop talking about it. I said this thread is about US exports, You keep shifting the goalpost to other topics.

You may wish to address the meat on the bone...

On not, completely up to you.

But don't try and convice us everything is peachy.

When it's clearly the exact opposite.

Poor people are circling the drain! 

And can hardly afford to live or get by.

That's as true in your own nation as it is just about everywhere else. 

Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist.

It just means you're not looking.

Must be nice to exist way up there in the clouds.

I've already addressed the export situation.

Good luck putting lipstick on the inflation pig...

FYI, topics tend to influence other topics.

Or do i need to explain shared context?

It's been worse in my lifetime and I made it through that, not depression bad but I've had to skip a few meals to pay rent in my life. 

Poor people are always circling the drain that's part of being poor some make it out some don't.

Our exports going up and gaining momentum is something I will celebrate.

I don't know how people live in your country but in mine they waste their money on garbage and put themselves into poor financial situations.

That's survivorship bias more than an argument SomeStupidName.

"I survived worse" doesn't mean current conditions are acceptable or everything is tickety-boo.

A society where people regularly skip meals to pay rent isn't proof that the system works.

It's proof people are being stretched past normal limits and that it's broken...

Hopefully not beyond repair.

Poor people aren't "always circling the drain" by nature either.

Poverty rates rise and fall based on wages, rent/mortgages PCM, and healthcare.

Countries with stronger safety nets consistently have lower financial insecurity.
 
Your export numbers going up due to inflation also means little if living standards go back down and everyday essentials become unaffordable.
 
And blaming poor people for "buying garbage" ignores the reality that most poverty comes from low pay and high costs.

Additionally, if you must post a video 1 hour and 40 minutes long.

It's expected that you provide a summary or at least highlight the relevant time stamps in support of your argument.

As to how people live in my nation...hand-to-mouth right now...same as a lot of people in the U.S.

It's not the same, we are not like any place else on earth. The video is for you if you choose to take a peak at how and average family in America squanders their money and then blames everything but themselves on how they got there. I'm not going to give a brief summary as this is not the thread for that this thread is about US Exports. If you super moderator isn't following the rules by continually posting off topic subjects I'm not follow the rules either.

I don't subscribe to your psychological labeling "survivorship bias" as legit psychology it's what a quack would say. I skipped meals because I made bad decisions with my money it's not the governments fault I thought I could live a certain way that I couldn't.

Poor people are always circling the drain that is why we have a welfare system so they don't get sucked completely down however some choose to go full homeless and that is their right as well.

Poverty rates are based on wages and when you ship in slave labor to fill position you end up with low wages that will never meet the price of what it takes to live. So again things should cost more so the people can have a higher wage to make those things. 

Things looks bad now because we are decoupling from those markets and practices and transitioning back to how used to do things also the Iranian thing is adding to the situation but it's all only temporary.

My advise is simple, Suck it up and power through.

Im following the rules just fine your the one that appears to have problems with understanding shared context and manners.

Once again, if you must post videos of that length, a summary is expected, common courtesy really.

I can only surmise you have not even bothered to watch the thing yourself. 

Yes, some people make bad money choices.

But you can't explain whole levels of poverty just by saying "they messed up."

Do you have any idea how arrogant that comes across?

Rent, food, bills, healthcare, etc, have gone up way faster than wages for most people in the US.

Same as in my own nation.

That's not just personal failure, it's a fact.

You're treating poverty like it's a bad choice, but that doesn't work.

If it were that simple, you wouldn't see millions of people working full-time every hour god sends and still struggling to cover basics like rent, food, and leckie.
 
And "suck it up" isn't an argument.

It's just telling poor people to accept whatever happens.

Which is quite frankly rather inconsiderate, bad manners, and poor form. 

Powering through is kind of nonoptional when you have kids and responsibilities.

Can't just call "the game's a bogey" pick up the baw and go back home...

None of which changes the fact that both our respective nations have serious problems to contend with, directly linked to those I have raised.

I would agree your nation has some issues to work out perhaps change is on it's way. 

It's arrogant of you to blame everyone but the person whom put themselves in the situation they have. 

Rent, food, bills, healthcare always go up they never go down sink or swim that's up to you.

Poor people put themselves in their situations 100% they are not victims they are the culprits.  

Suck it up just means carpe diem. You are responsible for your own fortunes not anyone else.
