This shit is the 21st century witch hunt. Covid cripples the economy from all the governments basically telling you to stay inside and businesses shuttering all over followed by ballooning the national debt by giving out tons of handouts for this. Then once they say "ok it's been enough time, go out there and get back to work" suddenly all that covid money given to people is being spent, driving up the cost of everything.
Now just a couple years later, everyone is looking for someone to blame for why costs are so high. "They gave us money to survive before... now it costs so much to do everything! It must be the BROWN people's fault!" simply because they are the newest wave of immigrants in a country built by immigrants for centuries.
Surely it can't be due to poor zoning laws, bad economic policies by the last administration (which set us up to fail with massive multi-trillion dollar debt thanks to all those big business tax cuts) and a news media gone wild, controlled by a handful of oligarchs who have more money and power than ever before after profiting from it all.
As always, a masterful performance by the rich and powerful. Let's make america get fucked again! #Recession2029
I don't think this has anything to do with covid. Trump's entire 2016 campaign was about building a border wall, and Fox cranks up the border talk leading up to every single election cycle.
Tell that to Biden, who's kept Trump's rule about keeping people out using the pandemic as a pretense long after he declared the pandemic over.
that's not accurate. Title 42 was ended at the same time they ended the covid-19 emergency in May 2023.
