You are correct about crime in NYC. It is up

I do not drive. I use public transposition. Costs are stable in that area.
Zero percent inflation.
Shortages? I can get anything I need via Amazon. Unsure what you are talking about.
I flew to California for the Breeders cup.
Price of airline ticket round trip 300 bucks American.
Of course I have to wear a mask on public transportation.
Suicide is stupid. I will agree with you on that.
The people committing it are losing out on life.
So in general, life is pretty good.
Inflation is high on certain products certainly not EVERYTHING.
And labor shortages are good for workers who run American.
Businesses will have to adjust to the new normal.
Adjust or die.
Did I cover all your points?

You did.
I am amazed at your answers.
Murder is DOWN in NYC under the Biden admin.
Only NYC matters.

It's all about you.

Nothing could be further from the truth.
Try buying almost anything electronic.
Like a video card.
What used to be $70 is now $400.
But you don't need one today, so that doesn't count.
Or maybe try a shaving mirror.
Used to be $8. Now $35.
But you're fine.
I flew to California for the Breeders cup.
Price of airline ticket round trip 300 bucks American.
Way to be sensitive to your fellow Americans.
Inflation is high on certain products certainly not EVERYTHING.
Name something significant that has not increased significantly in price.
Oh, wait.
You wouldn't want those things, right?
And labor shortages are good for workers who run American.
Sure. Like the guys who are laid off because the companies they work for cannot get parts to fix washers, refrigerators, electronics, cars.
Oh, you don't care about those, right?
Suicide is stupid. I will agree with you on that.
I never said that suicide was stupid. I said that suicides were up.
Businesses will have to adjust to the new normal.
Adjust or die.
And die they are.
So in general, life is pretty good.
You know what?
I AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS ONE.
My life is actually pretty good.
Doubt that it will last more than a couple of years longer if things don't change.
But, here's the thing... I BLEED for my country!
More... I BLEED for my COUNTRYMEN!
Relatively speaking, I am experiencing a life of somewhat
earned privilege.
Don't misunderstand. There is no jet in my driveway.
God delivered enough money for us to be secure, for a little while longer, anyway.
But what about those people who don't have that cushion? What about those people who are losing everything (or have already lost it)?
Do you think that THEY would say, "So, in general, life is pretty good?"
I doubt that very much.
They're the ones who are "stupidly committing suicide" because their lives have been destroyed. They're the ones who WORKED to BUILD LIVES.
But, of course, YOUR LIFE IS, in general, pretty good.
And that's what really matters.
How liberal of you.
How all-inclusive of you.
Thankfully, the majority of liberals on this board are not like you. They believe in a PRACTICAL LIBERAL NARRATIVE; one that can actually build America into a better place.
Your version will destroy it completely.
That is, they believe in things such as helping their fellow man - providing they are willing to work.
They believe in equal opportunity for all - providing one actually is willing to compete based upon their own merit.
They believe that health care should be available to everyone - providing they are not shooting heroin.
MOST IMPORTANT, THEY BELIEVE THAT THIS COUNTRY IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN THE GOOD GUYS.
