Polls have also shown Biden’s support slipping among Black and ethnic minority voters, who helped drive his 2020 election win against Trump.

Analysts say Biden’s best hope now is a simple but quite specific number: that wages continue to rise faster than prices as they have done since April of last year, allowing consumers to feel that their wallets are fuller.

    I hear you man.

    But still, if it goes on for 50 more years, would it ever be better to choose to eat a horse’s shit over stale lima beans? Of course not.

    We need to change the menu. But that’s a different problem.

    The question of whether to pick lima beans or horse shit is an easy one, and one that nobody should find controversial. And you should not feel bad for making the right decision there. Remember, your kids and neighbors have to eat whatever meal you choose too.

      We need to change the whole fucking restaurant tbh

      And I do too. I’m not far removed from this. My husband is a first-gen immigrant, I’m gay, I have family being detained by our fascist state, and family who are trans. I don’t know if I have the privilege to keep serving them stale lima beans, when the stale lima beans are slowly killing them. I desperately need a new meal.

        You have an obligation to do that, until there’s a better choice.

        In the meantime, we work on changing the restaurant. But until we do that, don’t feel guilty at all about choosing the better of two options!
