Ad idea for #Texas senate candidate James #Talarico:
"When T**** was running in 2024, the #unemployment was just 2.4% and he promised to "reverse it."
He DID. Unemployment is now 4.2%.
(The beauty of this ad is that if #Republicans want to challenge these numbers, they have to admit #Biden's unemployment rate was lower than T****'s are now. They might try going back to RIGHT AFTER Biden took over from Trump…as #DisasterDon frequently does… during T's #pandemic-induced #SupplyChainCrisis.)

I bought a new car in February of 2020 just at the start of the pandemic (and #DisasterDon's #SupplyChainCrisis.)
6 months later, they called me and offered to buy it back for $5,000 more than I paid for it.
I keep hearing #Republicans refer to the 162K jobs created in August according to the latest #JobsReport as a "blowout" & "massive" (following the miserable July report of a LOSS of 23K jobs.)
It bears mentioning that the #Biden Administration AVERAGED 186,000 jobs per month (despite being crippled by #DisasterDon's #SupplyChainCrisis when he first took office.)
This was the record #DonTheCon trashed and campaigned against in 2024, while he now takes bows for far less.

@starlily @SuperMoosie
Nonsense.
During the pandemic, #DisasterDon shut down the entire U.S.. No one was driving and the price of gas plummeted. He even compared that record low price under him to the resulting high price once #Biden got the economy rolling again and the #SupplyChainCrisis caused #inflation.
DEMAND determines prices. Prices don't stay high when you don't have any customers.
If you are depending upon prices to stay high to propel mass #EV adoption, prepare to be disappointed.
I noticed during the #SupplyChainCrisis in 2021/2022 that the WEIGHT of the canned greenbeans I was buying HADN'T changed, but the amount of beans I was getting was noticeably less. 🤔
I figured out there were fewer beans but MORE WATER in the cans to maintain the same weight so they appeared the same (no need to make the cans smaller or change the labels.)

REMINDER, When #DonTheCon was trashing #Biden for high prices (due to the #SupplyChainCrisis he himself caused by ignoring #Covid) during the 2024 campaign, #inflation was just 2.4%.
It is now 4.2% (is THIS what he meant by "turning around" the Biden economy? Taking us from 2.4% to 4.2%?)

I'D JUST LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE that #DisasterDon was this bad in his FIRST term.
And he only won reelection by #gaslighting voters into believing the mess he left Joe #Biden (a #SupplyChainCrisis, #inflation, rising #unemployment, etc) was all Biden's fault.
And now he's back, worse than ever, and clearly doing the bidding of #Putin & #Netanyahu (whose only interest is what's good for THEIR countries, not ours.) 🤬

Our home charger for our Ioniq5 shows @czds and my power used in charging giving additional driving range:
• 58.6689kWh gives 197 miles/317km
• 61.2326kWh gives 211 miles/339.6km
Let’s use 60kWh of charging to get 200 miles or 322km of range.
For us that would cost about US$11 (fully loaded bill, e only $5.62). At your electricity rate, what would that cost you?
At 25¢, that would be $15.
What would 200mi/322km cost in fossil fuels?

@aaron.rupar
#RoKhanna pushed back, but his answer is wildly incomplete.
This entire #Affordability Crisis started w/#DisasterDon first undoing every Obama policy without regard for the consequences (pick your reason why he did it.)
But the biggest cause of all was *ignoring #Covid*, creating the #SupplyChainCrisis that caused #inflation to skyrocket.
#Biden was finally getting #inflation under control when DD was re-elected based largely on blaming him for the crisis HE created.
@bestsoln
I advocated back during the #supplychainCrisis (2020) that #Tesla incorporate their "Battery Swap" technology to their Electric Semi Truck design and contract with Truck Stops across the country to install automated kiosks to give them unlimited range.
Fortunately, he ignored me b/c it could have made him billions.
Thinking of all the gullible idiots who voted for #DonTheCon b/c they blamed #Biden for high inflation (due to T****'s #SupplyChainCrisis) that was actually coming down, b/c they believed the man who created the problem would fix it. 🙄 #TooStupidForPolitics
I WENT GROCERY SHOPPING YESTERDAY and prices had risen so much, I bought fewer items for the same price.
This made me think of #DisasterDon's dismissal of high prices with his "3 dolls instead of 30" remark.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE JOBS of those doll makers (farmers, etc) who are now selling fewer products? 🤔
During #TheGreatRecession, skyrocketing gas prices under #Dubya decimated sales & crashed the #economy.
The #SupplyChainCrisis ALSO decimated sales.
THIS TIME, THE WOUND IS SELF-INFLICTED.
