You are right that Biden doesn’t act as childish or narcissistic as Trump.  Some of the policies he is promoting are reckless and he is showing that he is governing for the extreme left.  
I don’t think either President was/is lazy.  

 

Correct about what I said.  As far as Biden I’m sure His followers love him I’m sure.  
 

 

So where are these similarities in childish and abnormal behaviors you speak of?

Wait...so you not only knowingly voted for a childish narcissist to be the leader of the free world, the most powerful position on the planet, but you actually still go to the mat for him.  As if those personality traits don't matter.

Well, the average wage is 48,000, so it’s almost there already.

But, there are one hell of a lot of jobs that shouldn’t be paying that and can’t.  A private business owner shouldn’t have to compete with the government paying people to just sit at home.  

The median wage is closer to $35k, so there are some high earners skewing the average.

 

Can't pay the wage is one thing. Shouldn't is an entirely separate philosophical discussion that becomes a chicken and the egg of consumer expectations, common wages, and corporate greed.

I think you need a recalibration. I don't know that you understand what the extreme left is. Bernie Sanders, AOC, and socialist Democrats are not even the extreme left. They are definitely left of progressive, but Biden is to the right of a true progressive, which would be something more like Chuck Schumer (though I'm not sure is isn't slightly to the right as well).

Maybe you don’t read so well.  The post you replied to actually says Biden doesn’t act as childish as Trump did.

Good attempt at trolling as usual, but ya in 2016 the other option was HRC.  Kind of a no brainer decision on that one.  In politics, policies matter much more than personalities in my humble opinion.  Democrats love personality and identity politics but it’s not my cup of tea.  
 

keep trying....one day it will happen.

I disagree and am quite confident more people in this country would agree with my assessment of the extreme left.  You are welcome to your opinion however, no recalibration needed.

And a lot of people in this country are ignorant about what “left” means. If Biden is catering to the extreme left we will need to create a few words that are more extrme than extreme. No one even suggests any truly extreme left policies in this country. We never hear anyone talk about state owned housing or state owned industry. The funny thing is a lot of the “extreme” left things Biden is doing are just continuing things that were implemented last year, and they are things he likely never would have considered without the pandemic. We’ll see what happens in several months but most of these things will be gone by the end of 2021.

Those conversations are still relevant to today’s POTUS 

Perhaps you don’t remember your claims so well.

 

I guess when you say nonsense just to say nonsense it can be hard to keep track.  I won’t hold it against ya

Don't forget Obama is basically left of Karl Marx because he said people had to have health insurance.

Then your assessment doesn't match reality.

Crazies:  People should get paid more!  It is only fair!

 

Me and Montel Williams:   We should start teachers off at 100K a year

 

Crazies:  Well...I mean they get summers off so...

 

Love it!

So you are arbitrarily going to put the figure where you want.  
 

it’s also skewed down by teenager jobs. 
 

look, I wish everyone made more money. But, private businesses shouldn’t be competing with unemployment like this.

Yes they should.  Everyone should be making exactly the same amount, period.
