And all this time I have been voting for candidates based what is best for the country.

These days I should vote based on what is best for me?

Americans are hungry and lining up for food. Haven't seen this since the Depression Era.

Sad.

Trump ignored the virus threat. Blew it off. Now 30 million Americans are collecting unemployment compensation.
Come to Michigan, there are help wanted signs everywhere.

Like Mr. Tweety Tee, his supporters seem to think if you just ignore it it'll go away on its own.

So unfortunate how much of a decline there has been in the country in the past 4 years.

To make matters worse is the nearly 200,000 people now that have died as a result of the Trump Virus.

Your sense of humor is noted and appreciated. Your 200k figure is off by about 180k, but who's counting, right? ...and none of the pandemic is Trump's fault, but you love to make him a scapegoat for all of the worlds problems. No one is buying what your selling...

The Pandemic is of course not Trumps fault. But the 200K deaths in the USA this year due to Covid 19 is about right.

Financially the last couple years have been the best I ever had. In terms of income this year has actually been very good for me. And I basically had a giant summer vacation in the middle of it. So while I know some are struggling, yes I am better off than 4 years ago.

Yes!
BIGLY

Things slowed a little in May & June but I never closed shop and my hobby turned into a full time gig.
My wife's shop was shut for 2 weeks and then she cornered the market. Her best year ever.

We were good then and we're good now, but it really isn't fair for us to compare 2020 with 2016 because we are retired now and weren't then.

The pandemic is terrible for many reasons, but I don't think that it is fair to blame that on anyone.
