You mean could re-hiring the guy who has bankrupted multiple times and we fired for utterly failing his duties cause problems for us going forward?

Gee, I don't know. Let me think about that one for a whlie and get back to you.

Meanwhile, let me tell you a story about a stupid group of people called "Americans" who allowed a thing called "propaganda" to make them think a leader who was, in fact, good for the economy was actually horrible because they weren't intelligent enough to grasp that the entire world suffered a pandemic which caused the entire world to suffer from inflation, but that this good leader was actually causing them to suffer less than most of the other parts of their world due to his economic policies. So in the end, these weak-minded Americans with the memory spans of hamsters forgot all about the pain and suffering caused by the failed businessman and assumed that because he had the title of "Businessman" that he must be good with money, so that must make him good at managing a national economy. So these foolish Americans ignored the past, ignored all the available data, and ignored all the warnings from the businessman's ex-associates and top military personnel and made him king of the land once again. And they suffered all over again. And no lessons were learned.

Sad story, huh?

Hahahahah,oh man, talk about suckin' from the propaganda teat!

Uts funny, you complain that conservatives only care about money, now you're on a warpath about money.

And if we look at how things were going, inflation skyrocketed under the Biden administration. And don't try lying your way out of this one, everyone saw the prices go up, and I have years of shopping records to show my costs spiraling.

Go talk to any SMB about the last few years, see how it's been going.

Biden destroyed forty percent of black owned businesses. Not only was he bad economic policy, he was racist as hell about it.

inflation skyrocketed under the Biden administration

Being in office doesn't mean he caused it. More money was printed during Trump's term, COVID messed up supply chains, Russia invading Ukraine messed up supply chains again, avian flu has been forcing us to cull large amounts of poultry. None of this was done by Biden. You may have heard this before but the President has far less control over the economy and deserves far less credit for it (good or bad) than they get.

Biden destroyed forty percent of black owned businesses

All I can find when I search "40% black owned businesses" are talking about the early part of COVID lockdowns, which occurred under the Trump administration. Can you provide a source of this occurring under Biden?

inflation skyrocketed under the Biden administration

We have low inflation compared to the rest of the world. You are aware a global pandemic happened during Biden's term, correct? Pandemic make inflation go brrrr. I'm not sure if you think you're smart because you pointed out that the ENTIRE WORLD'S inflation increased. But Biden's policies helped make us recover from that better than most countries.

Biden destroyed forty percent of black owned businesses.

Lol. Go ahead and source me for this one.

first "Americans" includes a vast number of countries

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_in_the_Americas_by_population

propaganda was allowed to creep in due to lowered education standards, pollution, militarized police forces, and toxic culture that became toxic because it was hijacked by the same people that own the politicians that make the laws and policies that keep us all in here in the United States trapped a loop not of the citizens' designs

Which of those countries has the word America in their name? Because there's nothing else you can call people from the US. Every other country in the Americas has a different name unrelated to the continents.

And before you try to say it, people are never called by a form of the [Type of government] bit of the "of [Country name]"
