      The economy was bad but has only gotten worse, with rapid inflation, stagnate wages, companies still whining about lack of workers but refusing to hire people so they can overwork fewer workers (more profits) and whine for government subsidies, rising unemployment, a huge new-wave tech bubble just popped and most economists, even the hard-core liberal market fetishists, admit we are now hitting a deep recession, which of course is not surprising as it is right on schedule for the boom/bust cycle.

      COVID is slowing down throughout much of America now but not at all thanks to Biden or the government. They failed miserably to distribute tests right in the middle of the deadly delta-varient and highly contagious omnicron-varient, they failed to get distribute vaccines or masks or make tests affordable, they changed absolutely nothing about the ridiculous workplace policies that made it very hard for many people to call out when sick or secure enough time off to recover, they’ve done next to nothing to help out people who were devastated financially by being sick or loved ones dying, thousands kept on dying when he took office finally crossing the 1 million dead threshold a few months ago (IIRC).

      Literally the only thing better he did than Trump regarding COVID is not continuing to spread the insane antivax and infantile antimask sentiments. I cannot think of a single economic thing he’s done that’s not just as bad as Trump.
