Yeah, I can’t believe Biden caused the dot com bubble and now he’s causing global inflation.
Even here in Germany my cost of living is higher now, thanks to Biden.
So is it Germany, or Iceland?

Yes.
Just admit you didnt read the article. It didnt blame anyone for the dot com bubble or inflation on Biden.
I did read it.
What’s the first image?
What is the thumbnail?
You judged a book by its cover.
An article by its first picture, but there is a reason why it’s been picked.
It was picked because it contradicts the BS coming out of the WH that things are great, nothing to sorry about. Which is one of the many reason hes bleeding support. He and his press secretary go on and on about how great things are, but we are experiencing the exact opposite in our lives. The blatant lies tell us they are not listening to our concerns and dont care.
Didn’t you say it wasn’t about Biden?
I don’t think god’s destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah could be considered genocide.
Not that god, the one you actually worship.
There is only one true god, I do not worship false idols.
Right. Which is why you're so mad at the blasphemy of a thumbnail picture.
Why do you think I’m mad?
Because you're griping about a thumbnail.
Griping about a thumbnail makes you believe that I think Biden is god?
I've seen young earth creationists write off more severe blasphemy against their god as not worth griping about.
So does that make me a great worshipper or them bad?
Removed, absolute falsehood across the board.
So this is gonna be the angle. I was wondering.
Yeah, you won't be allowed to spread bullshit. This isn't your garden.
I stand by what I said, and it remains in the modlog.
Kind of the whole point of the modlog. :)
I'm glad it's there. Transparency is one of lemmy's major benefits over the old site.
Absolutely agreed, one of the reasons I reply when removing a post, on the other site you'd just see (at best):
removed
And go "What the hell happened here?"
One of my major problems with the old site was the stealth deletions.
Its not about Biden, its about the condition of the economy, and its not as good as the lies being told
Yeah the conditions are tough in Iceland where I live too.
Biden’s increased the price of hákarl and brennivín’s price has almost doubled.
ELI5 what you'd do if president, with the exact same 2 houses of Congress and the same supreme court of 2024, to fix everything that is not great with our lives.
Also, check your non-housing and non-food expenses from 2018 vs today's, and see if you're spending way more on non essential fun things. Usually disposable income is a telling sign of how good things are.
