This trend caused by Biden, of consumer credit default, caused by normal working class people being unable to pay their bills, will undoubtedly continue at least for some period of time into the Trump presidency until he is able to correct it.
I predict they will blame it on trump even though it's an effect of Bidenomics.
The Biden economy is great for the rich, not the working class.

Credit Card Defaults Skyrocket as Americans Unable To Pay Their Debts

Defaults on credit cards in the U.S. have spiked significantly in the last year, according to a new report.

Credit card lenders wrote off $46 billion in seriously delinquent loan balances in the first nine months of the year, the Financial Times reported, citing industry data collated by BankRegData.

The amount is up 50 percent from the same period last year and is at its highest level since 2010.

Newsweek has contacted consumer credit research firm WalletHub for comment.

Critically, the differences are actual responsibility as opposed to pervcieved blame and even more importantly, the fact he's about to re-enter office making the series of blunders from his last stint incredibly relevant. But don't worry any. This time he's shuffling the pieces on the board so he won't spend as much time getting told "no" this time around, so the damage limited by spending most of the time playing golf will be mitigated on this run.

Biden took 48 years of vacation while president.
His team of unelected DNC dogs made all his decisions for him.
It is worded that Biden didn't even get pudding every night on vacation
https://nypost.com/2024/09/07/us-news/biden-took-48-years-worth-of-vacation-while-president/
Biden’s astonishing vacation total revealed — prez took 48 years worth of leave in 4
President Biden spends almost as much time on R&R as he does running the country.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief has racked up 532 vacation days in less than four years — about 40% of the 1, 326 days he’s been in office.

It would take the average American — who gets 11 days a year of vacation — approximately 48 years to accumulate that number of days off, according to shocking data compiled by the Republican National Committee.

“The image of Biden fast asleep and lying flat on his back in his chair at the beach while America and the world is on fire will define the Biden presidency,” said Mark Paoletta, the general counsel of the White House budget office under former President Donald Trump.

“Inflation has been out of control; prices still way too high; our border overrun with millions of illegal aliens committing violent crimes on our citizens; the world in a perilous state; and all Biden wants to do is go on vacation and check out — for more than 530 days".

CBS News journalist slams media, says most underreported 2024 story was Biden’s ‘obvious cognitive decline’

Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump over the summer.

Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from “Face the Nation” moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story in 2024.

“Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the Sunday morning show.


She then noted recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal that detailed how White House aides covered up Biden’s mental decline over the past four years.

The most under reported story was never reported.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-trump-loses-appeal-of-e-jean-carrolls-us5-million-defamation-verdict/
A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a $5-million verdict that E. Jean Carroll won against Donald Trump when a jury found the U.S. president-elect liable for sexually abusing and later defaming the former magazine columnist.

A unanimous three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected Trump’s argument that the trial judge made mistakes in letting jurors hear evidence about the Republican’s alleged past sexual misconduct, making the trial and verdict unfair.

The court said that evidence, including Trump bragging about his sexual prowess on an “Access Hollywood” video that surfaced during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, established a “repeated, idiosyncratic pattern of conduct” consistent with Carroll’s allegations.

“Taking the record as a whole and considering the strength of Ms. Carroll’s case, we are not persuaded that any claimed error or combination of errors in the district court’s evidentiary rulings affected Mr. Trump’s substantial rights,” the court said in an unsigned decision.

Lawyers for Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for Carroll did not immediately respond to similar requests.

The May 2023 verdict stemmed from an incident around 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan, where Carroll, now 81, said Trump raped her, and an October 2022 Truth Social post where Trump denied Carroll’s claim as a hoax.

Though jurors in federal court in Manhattan did not find that Trump, 78, committed rape, they awarded the former Elle magazine advice columnist $2.02 million for sexual assault and $2.98 million for defamation.

These anons were asked a simple question:
What evidence is there that Trump raped Jean Carroll?
and their response is
>other people said they believed her so it must be true
they fundamentally don't understand the concept of actually looking at evidence or thinking for themselves. All an NPC understands is how to repeat somebody else's opinion, and if that opinion comes from an approved source, then it must be right

then there are double-down NPCs, like this one:
>>1371671
>I already showed you proof that other people hold the same opinion I do, you're just being ignorant by ignoring this clear evidence
just doubling down on the fact that, as an NPC, he literally doesn't even understand the concept of evidence or independent thought.

it's hilarious when you act like you're not an NPC when once again your answer to

>but THIS person is a HECKIN EXPERT! The EXPERTS are ALWAYS RIGHT about EVERYTHING!
>You're not suggesting an EXPERT could ever be biased are you?
>TRUST THE HECKIN EXPERTS THEY ARE BASICALLY GODS!!!!

also the judge was just clarifying the findings of the jury you fucking idiot, so your point isn't even true. The judge did not even give an opinion, he simply said what the jury's opinion was. But you didn't know that, because you're an NPC who only reads headlines. And when asked what evidence the jury relied on, your NPC answer is
>LOL the JURY said it's TRUE so what more evidence do you want?
because you're an NPC and literally don't understand what it means to form an opinion about anything.
thank you for further proving the points:
1) You are are an NPC who mindlessly repeats other people's opinions because you're not capable of forming your own opinion.
2) You are an NPC who isn't capable of reading past a headline.

2) Believes that the justice system is perfect and never ever ever makes mistakes and never ever ever has any bias at all ever
3) Isn't capable of reading past the headline (or reading the previous comment where I pointed out that the judge didn't offer any opinion at all because that's not how our justice system works, and instead was just clarifying the jury's opinion)

Carroll is a fucking skank. Trump could have boned the clerk at Bergdorf with more plausibility than this. E. Jean can't even remember what year and produced clothes that did not exist in the "time-frame" she referenced. The jury passed on the rape charge because it was ludicrous, settled on assault because that can be verbal. If she provides a date, Trump could produce his schedule, and she knows it. No one is fucking Skeletor, let alone a billionaire nailing Slovakian models. Why do you think she has Rape fantasies? Trump also couldn't bring to court the other people that EJC accused of raping her but she can introduce innuendo. Get real and kys.

Convicted felon Donald Trump, tired of the daily embarrassments and headaches caused by online squabbling from potential members of his upcoming administration, has issued a decree demanding all members of his team refrain from social media posts until after power has transferred hands.
The wisdom of trying to put people who can't even be trusted with social media accounts into some of the most powerful positions in American government may confuse some, until we remember that the former reality TV star turned adjudicated rapist himself was deemed not responsible enough to have a Twitter account for the last two weeks of his administration.
https://nypost.com/2024/12/30/us-news/trump-team-orders-all-intended-nominees-to-stop-posting-on-social-media-ahead-of-senate-confirmations/

President-elect Donald Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles sent a message Sunday ordering nominees to refrain from any posting on social media as Senate confirmation hearings are scheduled to start next week.

“While this instruction has been delivered previously, I am reiterating that no member of the incoming administration or Transition speaks for the United States or the President-elect himself,” Wiles wrote in a memo obtained by The Post.

“Accordingly, all intended nominees should refrain from any public social media posts without prior approval of the incoming White House counsel,” she said in the Dec. 29 missive.

Trump advisers Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy expose rift with MAGA loyalists over immigrant tech workers

The backlash escalated Thursday, when Vivek Ramaswamy, in a post on X, criticized an American culture that he said “venerated mediocrity over excellence.”

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-open-rift-maga-loyalists-skilled-worker-visa-rcna185557

A multiday firestorm has erupted over comments made by two incoming advisers to President-elect Donald Trump about H-1B temporary worker visas, a carve-out for high-skilled workers who some in the MAGA world say are taking American jobs.

The fight began brewing on X ahead of Christmas after Trump named venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan to a top artificial intelligence policy post, triggering a racially charged backlash that surfaced Krishnan’s comments advocating for green cards for skilled workers.

The backlash escalated Thursday, when Vivek Ramaswamy, in a post on X, criticized an American culture that he said “venerated mediocrity over excellence,” attributing this as one reason for the influx of foreign tech workers. Ramaswamy, who is Indian American, went on to say he hopes Trump’s presidency can start an American culture that prioritizes “hard work over laziness.” Tech executives have called for greater access to the widely used immigration visa, arguing that it is necessary to fill high-skilled tech and other specialized jobs.

Jimmy Carter, 39th president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100, his son says
The tenacious Southerner was turned out of office by disillusioned voters after a single term. But he had a brilliant post-presidential career as a champion of health, peace and democracy.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2024/12/29/jimmy-carter-president-dead/

Jimmy Carter, a no-frills and steel-willed Southern governor who was elected president in 1976, was rejected by disillusioned voters after a single term and went on to an extraordinary post-presidential life that included winning the Nobel Peace Prize, died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, according to his son James E. Carter III, known as Chip. He was 100 and the oldest living U.S. president of all time.

His son confirmed the death but did not provide an immediate cause. In a statement in February 2023, the Carter Center said the former president, after a series of hospital stays, would stop further medical treatment and spend his remaining time at home under hospice care. He had been treated in recent years for an aggressive form of melanoma skin cancer, with tumors that spread to his liver and brain.

https://news.sky.com/story/elon-musk-accused-of-censoring-right-wing-x-accounts-who-disagree-with-him-on-immigration-13280740
Elon Musk is facing censorship accusations after prominent right-wing accounts claimed they lost access to premium features on X when they criticised his views on immigration.

On Friday night, Musk called some anti-immigration Republicans "contemptible fools", adding they were "hateful, unrepentant racists" who would "absolutely be the downfall of the Republican Party if they are not removed".

At least 14 conservative accounts who criticised Musk's pro-legal immigration views said X revoked their blue tick, a verification badge given to premium account holders, according to Sky News' US partner NBC News.

That removed their ability to monetise their accounts and led to some saying they were worried about their ability to keep posting on the platform.

When Musk bought the site in 2022, he said he had a policy of "freedom of speech" but not "freedom of reach", meaning negative posts wouldn't be banned but would be "max deboosted", making them hard to find.

He said this policy would apply to individual tweets and not entire accounts.

Musk has since called himself a free-expression advocate, even as he called for jailing some of his critics.

I would say most of the world tips.
I am from Europe, travelled many counties here, tipping is either not forced in any way or not expected, people still do tip various sums from their own will. So far nobody shouted me, demanded more or stabbed me for my tips and they are not 15% .
I can only speak from my experience of course, what i've seen, done, what i talked about with others..
>>
>>1371375
EU doesn't force tipping, thats the difference you tip because you want to but its not expected.
US/Canada its basically expected that you tip 15% barring being literally assaulted by the waiter/waitress or finding fecal matter in your food. Its a toxic practice that i wish would stop but unfortunately people just look like stingy assholes if you tell people to stop tipping.

In the EU what is considered a livable wage should get you a small studio flat in an older building, food for yourself, maybe a moped, basic cell phone, various stuff like that, eating out occasionally for modest meals, etc.
In the US what is considered a livable wage is supposed to get you at least a 1 bedroom apartment, a large American car, iPhone, food for yourself and your family, and some other odds and ends.

Wildly different expectations of what "livable" is between Europe and the US.

Waste of digits

Good service gets a tip, shit service does not. Why should you get paid extra for doing the barest of minimums?

american and canadian culture. basically people have been brainwashed into thinking its common courtesy to pay extra under the delusion that the close to minimum wage worker will work harder if there's money on the line.

Billionaire Trump surrogate Elon Musk endorsed a post on Thursday which suggested Americans were too “retarded” to be hired for skilled jobs.

After the South Africa-born CEO of X, SpaceX, and Tesla found himself embroiled in an argument over H-1B visas and the importation of foreign labor over American workers, a pro-Musk account wrote:
"So basically the right split into two factions, tech right and right right, and the tech right is like “hey we need h-1b visa people to do the jobs,” and the right right was like “no you need to hire americans,” and the tech right is like “but you guys are retarded,” and the right right is like “well you don’t train us,” and the tech right is like “you can’t outtrain being retarded,” and while all this was going on we learned some people *really* don’t like Indians."

“That pretty much sums it up,” replied Musk, mere hours after defending one of his engineers who posted a series of racist, anti-White rants. “This was eye-opening.”

On Thursday, Musks’s DOGE co-head Vivek Ramaswamy also received backlash after he suggested companies were not hiring Americans because they were raised in a culture of “mediocrity.”

President-elect Donald Trump announced last month that Musk and Ramaswamy would lead the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) – an announcement praised by many of Trump’s allies and supporters.

In the wake of remarks made by both Musk and Ramaswamy this week, however, many Trump supporters have begun to express concern over their involvement in the second Trump administration.

Disturbing body cam footage shows NY prison guards brutally beating handcuffed inmate, leading to his death

Brutal body camera footage shows a handcuffed inmate being beaten unconscious by prison guards before he’s stripped down to his underwear — a fatal attack that’s now under investigation by New York’s top prosecutor.

The sickening recordings were made public by Attorney General Letitia James Friday showing three correction officers repeatedly punching, kicking and stomping on Robert Brooks in an examination room on Dec. 9 at upstate prison Marcy Correctional Facility.

Brooks, 43, who was serving time for assault, died of injuries the next day. It’s unclear what sparked the beatdown.

And I won't forget the men who died

nyc and californian middle-class cunts are the same bleeding heart losers who do a 180 the minute they realize oh wait we might get assaulted too? But i'm supporting the criminals they should be grateful and assault other people instead.

You're really gonna need to be approaching the stage with moar evidence that that, else risk pushing the perception that you're in the same group of folk that shout at the clouds for following them.

It might help if you tried to do the math instead of using docile media posts as a data source.

https://apnews.com/article/homelessness-population-count-2024-hud-migrants-2e0e2b4503b754612a1d0b3b73abf75f?taid=676edc62db443200010c35da

The United States saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, a dramatic rise driven mostly by a lack of affordable housing as well as devastating natural disasters and a surge of migrants in several parts of the country, federal officials said Friday.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said federally required tallies taken across the country in January found that more than 770,000 people were counted as homeless — a number that misses some people and does not include those staying with friends or family because they do not have a place of their own.

That increase comes on top of a 12% increase in 2023, which HUD blamed on soaring rents and the end of pandemic assistance. The 2023 increase also was driven by people experiencing homelessness for the first time. The numbers overall represent 23 of every 10,000 people in the U.S., with Black people being overrepresented among the homeless population.

“No American should face homelessness, and the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring every family has access to the affordable, safe, and quality housing they deserve,” HUD Agency Head Adrianne Todman said in a statement, adding that the focus should remain on “evidence-based efforts to prevent and end homelessness.”

They should just get a job. Back in the old days, being homeless was an executable offense. That is the law of God working its way through society.

It's because the price of housing is too damned high. NIMBYs, boomers, and private equity firms have driven the price of housing and rent through the roof. It's to the point where you have Chinese backed companies sweeping in and buying vast amounts of properties to drive up land costs. Most homeless actually do have jobs, it's just those jobs don't pay anywhere near enough. In most cities, even professionals are feeling the squeeze and are a sneeze away from ruin.

No. It's to ship them off to blue states. Pleases his base and makes dems look incompetent.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. If it was, there'd be a *lot* less jobless.

>That is the law of God
I musta missed the one where moses came down with the tablets that proclaimed: Thou shalt have housing lest enact my wrath eneacted by third party idignation. Mayhaps you'd care to point this out?

They shoudl just let healthcare be a free market. Abolish obamacare and medicare. Turn it over to the market forces. Remove the onerous regulations and oversights and that would drive down costs and drive up quality. What tards don't get is that insurance is entirely about risk management, regardless of what insurance it is. You outsource a big risk (surgery etc) to smaller payments based on risk levels. Being against profit for insurance is insane lefty bullshit. Being for a public option is mental illness. If people weren’t making profits why tf would thru work at providing anyone a service? Just because a service has high priorities towards life and limb doesn’t mean it’s excused from basic laws of economics or the increase in efficiency from privatizations.
