    total horseshit

    an economy that includes wages that are lower than food and housing costs combined it is not growing period

    shit is shit no matter how you dress it up

    not even the $15 an hour Biden forgot about would cover anyone’s bills

    just to work a job in a place with no public transportation would have you paying gas, maintenance, insurance, property tax, and a monthly car payment if it is not paid off and if the vehicle is used upon purchase the maintenance could cost more plus your housing and food all add up to more than some make a month

    and that is not including a person’s healthcare which at this point is state by state so depending on location the cost is astronomically higher due to travel costs if you can afford it both cash and time wise

    nor is that including utilities or entertainment or anything else
