Exactly. Seems disrespectful and unfair to Jackson. Makes it about the old white man who decided he's going to open the door for some token who looks like her, instead of it being about her achievement of being a historic pick who took her seat because she was deemed the best candidate for the job.It 100% was a diversity pick. Biden made that known.
But it's not like the 100 or so Justices picked before her were all-inclusive selections, so getting bent out of shape about this pick and only this pick is a bit short-sighted.
I'm fine with the selection. I just wish he hadn't announced the parameters (black female) ahead of time. I don't think that was fair to Jackson. "She got the nomination because she was the best qualified for the position". Leave it at that.
It's not like you have to have a white penis to interpret the constitution.
Will it be fixed by cutting taxes on the billionaire class again, and funnelling even more of the nation's wealth upwards?Two important points here are that first, we can lay responsibility for this inflation directly at the doorstep of the Biden administration, and second, those being hurt most by this inflation are the very low-income Americans that this administration claims to care so much about.
A recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis focuses on the disparate impact of inflation on different communities, causing the most damage to low-income Americans.
According to the report, although one number for inflation is reported nationally, different households do not equally take the brunt of this.
According to a Gallup survey from late 2021, 45.5% of all Americans reported experiencing "severe" or "moderate" hardship caused by inflation.
However, the story changes dramatically when broken down by income. Among those with incomes of less than $40,000, 70.7% say they are experiencing "severe" or "moderate" hardship. And 46.5% of those earning from $40,000 to $99,999 and 28.3% of those earning $100,000 or above reported experiencing "severe" or "moderate" hardship.
The report offers various explanations about why inflation hits lower-income households harder. These include the fact that lower-income households have a lower percentage of interest-bearing assets, meaning their world is mostly cash. And inflation takes its highest toll on cash.
Higher-income households have more flexibility in adjusting behavior than do lower-income households. And lower-income households tend to be renters rather than homeowners, and rent is more volatile in an inflationary environment.
The tragedy is that inflation is not a surprise attack. We know what causes inflation. Like many physical diseases, we know what their causes are, and those that become victims do so not out of lack of knowledge, but out of irresponsible behavior
So who is to blame for the same rates of inflation in the rest of the world?Two important points here are that first, we can lay responsibility for this inflation directly at the doorstep of the Biden administration
The Biden administration that's been in office for 14 months and can't get anything passed because of frenzied partisan hatred and gridlock, no less.So who is to blame for the same rates of inflation in the rest of the world?
Is there any country not experiencing inflation right now?

That notwithstanding, it was Trump who decided to fire up the printing press. Biden isn't exactly doing anything to slow things down, but it wasn't his creation.Dems have control of everything. He can’t even get his own party to fall for his bullshit
