It’s annoying to people like me but very, very hard to the poor, Democrats can’t understand that. Raise fuel prices by 50%, there’s the tax on the poor they claim to be so against. So many people that are poor drive old gas guzzling trucks or vans that get 9MPG. They don’t have to luxury to trade in on a Prius.

QOL no improvement, I’m spending money I made under Trump when the economy was insane.

Biden is so awful and the real tax hikes haven’t even come yet.

Not defending Obama's daddy Joe, but fuel prices are still high due to the hurricane last month shutting down refineries.

Right.

But they’re also high because we have a President who all but declared war on the FF industry. Usually presidents don’t have that much of an impact. However OBiden wants to take my V8s away from me. I don’t want EV and never will.

Depends on what your definition of quality of life is. On a financial basis...no, it hasn't impacted me one iota. In fact, I'm doing much better.

On the other hand, he has been instrumental in creating a division with his rhetoric on the virus and the sheep that follow his lead. And that is unfortunate and I have seen people that were quite cordial to one another in the past, becoming very antagonistic towards one another. I don't care for any political leader, be it Republican or Democrat, encouraging people to be at odds with one another.

Huge increase in crime and shootings in my town this year.
Increase in murders. Our newspaper is blaming all this on Covid — I blame it on the democrats
and their defunding and demonizing police while giving criminals a green light and excusing them as “victims”

Democratic mayors all over the country allowed lawlessness caused by rioting blm last year. They allow atrocious levels of homicide to continue. I don't see it getting better anytime soon.

If we define quality of life as an individual's emotional, physical, material, and social well-being, then I'm doing just fine. I'm not overly-burdened with worries, I have no on-going health concerns, my household income is sufficient to cover my needs, and my relationships with family and friends are in a good place.

I am doing better than ever.

Got a new job. Six months later I received a raise.

Life is good.
