And once again a questionable opinion from a questionable source is latched onto by the left. We can now anticipate our leftist brethren on OPP to run with it, and in a week or two it will be repeated ad nausium as a proven indisputable fact, and used as the basis for many more left wing lies, "proving" that everything from COVID to cuts in oil production to inflation, to the high number of part time jobs is ALL the Republicans fault. Heck, they will even blame Republicans for Commander biting Secret Service agents 24 times .
And once again a questionable opinion from a quest... (

LOL - yer funny.
Look, if you just weren't so brainwashed into thinking public interest is evil, everything would make more sense to you and you wouldn't be left grasping at straws.
1. No one on the left is blaming anyone for COVID. Trump is the one who was blaming it on the Chinese.
2. There were no cuts to oil, either - as usual, that's another right-wing conspiracy theory. Oil production has actually been on a near-constant upward trajectory the whole time Biden has been in office. The misinformation is a spin off the news about about Biden putting a stop to allocating any more federal land to leases for commercial extraction. At the time, there was a push to build the new XL spur off the Keystone Pipeline and the plan was to lease federal land. So, when Biden executed the order, the company cancelled the project.
This was not a cut in oil production. This was a cancelled plan for future development that would not have added another drop of oil to the market for 10 years or so. But right-wing media does what right-wing media does. They get you all agitated.
3. Inflation has nothing to do with Biden or Trump, or any president for that matter. It's ridiculous that so many people don't see this. The government does not control the economy. How you people swear we are not a socialist country while at the same time insisting that our government controls inflation is just mind blowing.
Inflation is not a system it's a condition where markets are inflated with dollars, causing the value of each dollar to diminish. It's most frequently caused by free market influences. There is some levels of regulation from the Federal Reserve, but the Federal Reserve is not the government. The U.S. Government can ASK the Federal Reserve if they wouldn't mind taking action and they always do because what's good for the Federal Reserve is also good for the U.S. Government.
The current inflation, which is slowing down now, was caused by the free market reactions to the pandemic. This is why I don't give Biden as much credit for the recovery as he gives himself... I think he's done a great job but the real driving force behind the recovery was the free market itself and I'm saying the same thing about inflation.
4. The increase in part time jobs is a 30-year trend and it is also a result of market forces over which the government, by design, has little or no control.
So, what you got there Scooter, is a handful of dumbass theories.
