Do you believe Biden's policies had something to do with that?

Probably as much as gas prices

It's predictable of course that a President will accrue blame, or credit, for "things that happen" even when there is no clear line between his actions and what happened.

I see folks on FB, a fair number of them, claiming that if we opened the Keystone XL pipeline (which has not been built), gas prices would recede because it would enable more US oil production.

I realize FB is a foggy window on what folks actually think.

Our society has become a slave to the general consensus of laypeople........thats what social media is.  A chance for everyone (literally everyone) to chime in on anything (and I mean anything), from your dinner photo to an actual war.

What some may have forgotten and what many (youngsters) may have never known is that the general consensus of laypeople is completely irrelevant in actuality.  
It's forced an idea that I've hated since the first time I heard it to become true:  perception is reality.

It wasn't......until social media came along.

we elect leaders based on the general consensus of lay people.

Yeah.  It's a bad system.

why does Joe hate natives?
Many natives get a check every month and for some, it's enough to not seek a job.  if they're excluded from this, then another reason theirs is higher is that the larger reservations utterly lack job opportunities.  

Most natives in AZ who seek out a job drive 4+ hours to Phoenix every Sunday night and back home every Friday evening.  They're home 2 days a week.

I'm aware

I live near Sioux City.  My home office is in Sioux Falls.

Familiar with natives

just not familiar with Joe's influence to keep them unemployed

something you learn when in the CATV business

May be an image of text that says 'What is a sun outage? Why does it cause certain channels to go out? Twice a year at the Spring and Fall Equinox, satellite sites in the Northern Hemisphere experience reception interruptions due to the transition of the sun. Reception interruptions span a period of about ten days as the sun aligns directly above the satellite and the antenna. This affects any channel received via satellite and causes a signal reception outage depending on which satellite the sun is aligned with at the time. The outages usually last less than 10 minutes.'

Speaking of things Biden did

When the economy is in the tank, due to lockdown Larry's and mandate Marty's, there is no place to go but up.

Be it known that unemployment in places like where I live never really tanked.

Chill day at home, babysitting a pot of pho broth and watching golf on TV... Probably a good day to finally do my taxes.
