No fucking sticker for me.
No sticker but got a tiny pen with my ballot. Tiny pen was mine to keep and says "I voted" on it.

Yeah sure, income inequality came to mind first. But then, the percentage of people below the poverty line has also been dropping steadily, so what other metric is there that could convey the accurate picture for the wellbeing of the average american?

What are you personal experiences? Were you better off in 2019 than in 2016?

Can you send the analysis you are looking at? You are in Slovenia correct?

Interested in what you are seeing.

Keep in mind that economic analysis also has a bias.

I like to follow Paul Krugman even though he has a liberal bias. That is mainly because I was raised in a liberal house much like someone raised as a Catholic and so forth.

Thanks

Today, I found this on google:
https://qz.com/1907578/us-president-donald-trumps-economic-record-in-13-charts/

But it just rehashes the same indicators that I've seen across traditional media that trump would like to discredit.

Have to say that working multiple jobs is "unheard of" (not really, but it is very unusual) here in Slovenia. Thanks for the replies form the frontline, because I don't really see these positions in the media with a good statistical data representation.

I've been looking at a lot of trump presidency economic analysis these past few days and it seems that before the pandemic, the usa were doing very well in economic terms. I've read that a new presidents reaps the benefits of his predecessor for a year (or even three) into his term, but still, by all accounts business was apparently booming.

This really goes against everything else I've read online in that period, so my only guess is that these economic gains were very badly distributed. I fully agree that trump is nothing more than a narcissistic piece of frozen diarrhea, but the stock market etc. loved him. Someone from the states cares to explain?

It seems, most economic trends just continued on as they were under the Obama administration. I think people believe there has been change because this free-market ideology (and subservience to and worship of the "job creators") has become "common sense."

The real question is did cutting taxes for the ultra wealthy, increasing pollution, reducing workers' rights, etc. need to be done to keep the "economy" moving or was this just simple class warfare against workers (and generational warfare against the young who will pay the bills for this bullshit and suffer from no having no rights as workers)?

I wonder if farm income went up because of all the subsidies we've given to farmers recently or because there has actually been an increase in sales/profit (the tariffs war with China opened up a huge part of the agricultural market to Brazil. Trump Brazil a huge favor.)

If we get 4 more years of Trump I can’t wake up to that.

For the past 9.5 years my job has been probably the one job where you are in most contact with people in poverty and seeing first hand their situation/finances. I haven't noticed any change besides when I first started in 2011 and the economy was still fucked, that was gnarly how busy we were, but by around 2014 that phase was kind of gone. From my perspective things have not changed in that time. I don't have a bunch of people who now have great jobs. It's the same shit. Actually things will be slightly worse because new requirements have been put in place for people who need assistance. The only reason it hasn't had as much of an effect is because when everything happened this year they put in place a lot of waivers because they had no choice. Those are still set to take effect here soon but they have been extending waivers.

The only reason I am doing any better is because I get annual raises and moved home because it was too hard to make it on my own. Nothing the president has done has made it better for people in need, at least from my view as a "1st line worker" for that kind of thing. More hurdles have actually been added and the only reason they haven't played out is because the pandemic keeps putting the changes out a couple months.

When I'm finally out of this job in a few days I can talk more openly/directly about all that.

also a social worker?

Well shit, I didn't see this coming.

I'm amazed how many Americans really love the idea of fascism. Good luck. The next four years are going to fucking crazy. And, Don Jr. 2024 will be even better.

2020 sucks, what did we expect? Good news?

Even though the numbers for Biden look good so far, as of 1130pm EST, for all of the toss up/swing states, it is trending like Trump will take them, especially FL and TX. I hope I am wrong.

Don’t lose hope yet. Looks like we may pick up AZ and a senate seat.

It sounds like the vote tallies are coming in from same day vote. I wonder if the plan all along was to get the same day votes in and call it before all the mail in ballots are counted.

Don’t believe anything Trump has his hand in.

Keep hope alive...

that's what I'm saying. There are unprecedented numbers of mail in and early ballots cast, and I don't know that they've been counted yet. This election is unprecedented in that regard- it cannot be called tonight.

This! Whatever happens in the presidential race, 4 states legalizing recreational use is pretty rad and is something to be positive about and huge progress. Totally slipped under my radar.
