Is Biden really that bad?

Look up top share holders on any company you want... they will always be BlackRock or Vanguard.

Sir...those companies run huge index funds and etfs....so uh, yeah, they are the largest shareholders in a number of companies by design. It's like seeing a conspiracy because fast food restaurants use a lot of potatoes.

Nobody really wanted to engage with "what's biden done" as there was already a whole trolly thread about it, and it gets stuck out there every few weeks as a "provocative" question.

What do you think Vanguard/blackrock/state street/etc. being the largest shareholders impact? Why does it matter? They run a bunch of large financial products, when people buy a share of a mutual fund or etf, those companies have to go buy stock based on whatever model (they have lots of models) the customer is part of. When you buy a share of a mutual fund or etf, the company selling that product has to go out and buy however many shares of individual stock are necessary to allocate their performance to you.

Say you buy a share of a basic s&p 500 ETF (those are easier to explain as they have stricter rules on how they work). That ETF is supposed to mirror the s&p 500 exactly, so it holds all those companies. As people buy the ETF shares, it turns around and has to buy the actual stocks. As such, they end up the biggest holders.

Young Aaron is rockin the kind of cringeworthy username that generally does not survive puberty. I doubt he is even 15.

no...he's been around a long time...he's a half ass decent person, as long as he doesn't start talking politics. once he does, he turns into kind of a dick...

 

[HGCC]

Head and shoulders above the last guy that asked what Joe Biden has done.

Besides, if people have a person in their avatar, I associate them together. So I read all your posts as Lewis black yelling, and I read all of Aaron's posts as Norm Mcdonald playing Burt Rynolds on SNL. Makes the weird conservative statements funny as hell.

Turd Ferguson is a great name.

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

wow...you are WAY the fuck dumber than i thought you were...you actually believe trump won and Biden cheated him? seriously? after EVERY fucking expert in the country said that that was the most secure we've ever had, in spite of attempted russian interference?
you really believe that? you just lowered my opinion of you several rungs...like you're no longer even on the ladder.
you have no idea if jews use the blood of non jewish babies in sacrificial rituals?

Ol' Joe reminds me of that one drunk uncle at Thanksgiving that rambles on about nothing. ... and doesn't even realize who's house he's at, or what day it is.

Nuke the hurricanes though? Whats that ass taste like?

I'm not blaming you that you didn't know US manufacturing went into recession in 2019 due mostly to Trump's trade wars.

I blame your teachers. They failed you.

2019? Lol!

Biden Has Become A Boon For Democrats
140,803 views Aug 29, 2022 The Morning Joe panel discusses a recent column from the New York Times' Charles Blow on how President Biden has become a boon for Democrats.

I just hope they keep the idiot running around with a knife inside the GOP until the election, by the time Donald is done he should give the democrats the house too! Once Donald is indicted a judge will own his ass and will muzzle or jail him until trial if he won't STFU, so indictments might take awhile. In reality Garland has Donald by the balls with no way out and could drop the hammer on him anytime he wishes. Donald is an idiot who played right into it and would have even gotten away with it, if he had returned the documents like a good boy, but Donald was far too stupid for that!

I'm glad to see that Biden isn't pushing that stupid defund the police nonsense and is requesting more money. Let's hope he gets this funding through Congress. I'm sure a bunch of Democrats are going to try and block it. Defunding the police was stupid to begin with.


"According to the White House, the requested funding would be used in hiring and training 100,000 new police officers for "accountable community policing," clearing court backlogs, solving murders and setting up community task forces to share intelligence. The funds would also target crimes not directly related to guns, such as fentanyl trafficking. "

I bet 36 billion will go to taking away our guns, and maybe a billion will go to training high school level civilians to solve murders, instead of real commissioned officers. I just read the paper today that my city is doing that already, hiring people to do those specific tasks, to make up for the lost police force. Just need a high school diploma, lol. Even though the city already has the money to pay for the missing officers full salaries, and no one wants to do the job, they'll give you a few bucks an hour to risk your life dealing with crazies.

yeah, and they also taught me to call out bullshit when i see it...and to stand up for what is right, and not let people get away with fucking other people over...what did your parents teach you? that a congenitally lying treasonous snake oil salesman should be trusted?
that it's ok to take away the rights of anyone not the same as yourself? that American veterans don't deserve help with the healthcare issues they got while doing their service for the country? that it's ok for school kids to get murdered in their class rooms, as long as that guarantees you have the right to have any weapon you want, short of fully automatic ones?
sound like nice folks...
