were you better off four years ago?

[Anonymous]

I was locked down watching a crazed lying idiot tell us to drink bleach and blow sunshine into our butt holes, wondering if I'd ever get to see my parents again.

My finances weren't better then either.

The only thing that was better is my beloved dog was still alive, but that's only because Trump hadn't figured out a way to try to kill him.

Groceries were cheaper.

Sure, if you could find any to buy. I remember going to supermarkets with empty shelves.

Yeah - and you couldn't get toiled paper. We had a stash of it, because my husband had over-ordered a bunch a while earlier. And I begged him not to put that on social media because I worried someone was going to break into our house for the TP.

Groceries weren't cheaper enough to make up for any of the rest of it, from my perspective. They could have been 75% less and you couldn't pay me to go back in time four years.

Well obviously no one wants to go back to pandemic mania. Doubtful that any other president could put toilet paper on the shelves back then.

I've noticed the smarter republicans rephrasing this as "are you better off than you were 3 years ago." The dumbest ones say 4 years.

The truly smart Republicans are sitting this one out until Trump goes away.

Yes.
I have a much better job, my retirement accounts are doing very well and we are all still alive.

I personally enjoyed the simplicity and family-centric existence of pandemic life. Objectively, it's not good for most of society to live ensconced in your house, having little to no contact with the outside world. So it's a mixed bag for me.

I think you answered your question

they should say 8 years ago

[Anonymous]

Yes, absolutely. Four years ago I had a 6 month old baby at home while daycares shut down across the area. It majorly impacted my child's development. My spouse - with a serious immune disorder - was scared sh#tless about COVID since no one knew why people were dying. Also, our HHI is 2x higher today and we have a 30Y mortgage that is 2.75%.

Absolutely so much better off today than in March 2020.
