No threatening to pull all military out of the country if they didn't do as he demanded. There is a difference between negotiation and threatening. The so called Master negotiator only new how to burn bridges and threaten. And now our one time ally is not doing more to help us, as they did in the past.

Its because Biden is weak and senile and no one takes him seriously.
 
Backyard Chickens Linked to Nationwide Salmonella Outbreak: CDC

More than 200 people across the country, including 11 in Illinois, have become ill after coming in contact with poultry in backyard flocks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Of the 219 infected with salmonella, one in four have been children under age 5, while 27 have been hospitalized and one person has died in Tennessee.

Backyard chickens and ducks can carry salmonella germs even if they look healthy and clean, according to federal health officials, who say these germs can spread easily to anything in areas where poultry live and roam.

People can get sick from touching their backyard chickens or ducks or anything in their environment and then touching their mouth or food and swallowing the salmonella germs.

Since the start of the Great Depression, there have been 22 bear markets, defined as a stock market decline of more than 20%. The average duration of those bear markets is 11 months. The median duration is eight months. The shortest bear market was in 2020, just a month; the longest was the dotcom bear which was over 30 months long. So far, the current bear is five months old.

I’m glad there’s at least something on the news to distract from the market crashing, gas hitting over $5/gallon national average, and a record-breaking high inflation report all happening in the same day.

This is happening all over the world. Does Biden control the entire world?

I got out of the market the day Trump was elected.but my retirement accounts haven't lost since....saw this coming...as to gas...it's not the 5 dollar number, it's the value of the dollar which comes after a 2+ year pandemic when 48 million lost jobs and over a million died of covid along massive forest fires that destroyed half a million homes in Oregon alone...with the trade wars stopping business as usual with China...yeah....Americans like most of the world forever might have to use public transportation for a change, drive a scooter or ride a bike and drive less in the meantime....also glad I bought a hybrid 9 years ago...preparation for the roller coaster that has always been ...you missed several lean chapters in our history because you're too young to remember but my father went through the dust bowl...3 years with no rain and I went through the Carter years trying to get ahead when the economy sucked...shit happens and this time around, we had the most corrupt leadership since JP Morgan bought a president in charge leading up to this..yeah..we get it. You're seeing democracy tested like it's never been tested before...probably the most important political event in your lifetime...but yeah.....gas! On the other hand my nephew is making 22 dollars an hour washing dishes in Redmond....that's like 5 dollar gas...just numbers...people all over the world have always paid twice what we pay for gas except for the Middle east ...most people overseas have paid at least 3 dollars a liter for decades...it's why they drive 4 cylinder cars

I knew Trump would wreck the economy so I got out.

Also the largest ever Medicare hike, with the profits going straight to private insurers who donated to Biden’s campaign. It’s funny all this shit goes down at the same time as the big insurrection prime time bonanza. Impeccable timing.

Why do you think Medicare is having some trouble?

My God, this keeps me awake at night.

You keep insisting these are just my personal gripes when I’m telling you I’m actually quite comfortable compared to many. I’m saying there are other people, millions of people falling through the cracks now more than ever, and your entire premise is basically the old ‘pull yourself up by the boot straps and move’ excuse. Many people aren’t in the position to hop up and do those things. Not everyone bought cheap homes with zero credit 40 years ago that are worth 10x what they payed. Why is this so hard for you to understand?
I’m telling you an entire generation is financially fucked for life and you are saying to get chickens.

Tell people who rent to “get some chickens”. Tell people who live in a city to “learn to fish”. You’re being unrealistic. Look outside your own existence dude. I’ve got a good job and a stream full of fish in my backyard, not everyone does. Believe it or not I worry about more than myself.
You’re also looking at things from the past to justify our current situation. Wouldn’t you rather future generations be able to own homes and have some quality of life than to give it all a pass and quantify it being “not so bad” with some tropes from the past? Things aren’t getting better, this isn’t a “dip”. They’ve been progressively getting worse and worse for a long time.

Hey, you've always got Canada.

I've been looking around since 1954 and news flash...things have never been ok...things were actually worse when gas was 19 cents a gallon actually...especially for minorities and poor people. We were happy that equal rights and civil rights made some progress but now we're seeing those rights stripped away... I spent time in a country with really expensive gas and bought a motorcycle and was really happy for a stretch. If you think Chinese trade wars...the oil and wheat crunch from the Russian war and the worldwide pandemic are all on Biden it is baseless....sure he's an old guy with a speech impediment. Let's make fun of that eh......my question is why are you worried about food and a roof? Nobody I know is struggling for food or homeless. Just a bit of advice...get some chickens and grow a garden....you can even do that in containers and learn to fish...you'll feed the kids just fine. Adapt...it's the American way...I'm on medicare and haven't seen this giant travesty you talk about ....plan well and if it's not working for you in Wyoming and you've got kids...the military will give you a job with the ways and means to offer security to your children...you've mentioned this several times and I sincerely hope your kids are not hungry or homeless.

But none of those things teach my children to be disrespectful and hateful towards others and those who look different than do……. Like our former president did. Id’ rather my kids and myself work harder to make more money to afford life than thinking it’s ok to shit all over other human beings daily.
