I'm not up on what the current NPC talking point is. Is it that there is no problem at the border? There's a problem at the border but it's Texas's fault somehow? Shipping a couple thousand to NYC is human trafficking (and devastating apparently despite Texas dealing with 10s of thousands every single month)? It changes so often it's hard to keep up.
Yeah, it was Fox News lying about Covid. A lab leak is an impossible racist conspiracy theory, chud. Masks don't work, chud. Masks do work, chud. Putting Covid patients in nursing home makes perfect sense, chud. Two weeks to flatten the curve, chud. We're all going to die, chud. We totally didn't want lockdowns, chud. Yes we should throw that mother in jail for taking her kids to the park during a heckin pandemic, chud.

Biden should probably just announce Trump has secretly still been President all this time and run against him like he's challenging an incumbent.
Consider:
Fresh faced 81 year-old insurgent against an unpopular incumbent with an (apparently) terrible economy
Half of Burgers too stupid to remember what happened last week, so they'd buy this.
Magatards forced to admit they were lying when they've been saying Trump was the legit president for the last 3.5 years OR
Do mental gymnastics to explain how the terrible Biden economy was actually secretly the fantastic Trump economy
Trump would probably play along because the alternative would be admitting he lacked power and influence.

"successful" is a bonkers word to use to describe a presidency, you get to make up whatever measure you want, like "passing lots of legislation" even if people hate the legislation.
"Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?" is the usual question people use.
It's a stupid measure because most (not all) of what's happening in the economy right now is just the necessary effects of what everyone agreed was good policy during covid. But it's the measure that people always use and politicians have decided not to challenge the voters on their stupidity.

People say the economy is bad but they're spending lots of money on non-essential things and the costs of those things keeps going up a lot, but they keep spending money on them.
Their feelings aren't wrong, because people's feelings about the economy is an important part of the economy. They're worried about inflation (valid) and that the economy could go bad suddenly (valid) but their actions aren't what you'd see from people actually anticipating a recession which would be to pull back on non-essentials.

Actually from the same thing you linked, you can see that U-6 and LISEP are all trending downwards as well:
It's true that there is a larger pool of "discouraged" workers who aren't counted in the U-3 headline number, but that's always the case, and even if you look at those other numbers, they're improving too.
Put another way, it's not the case that the "official" unemployment figure is only declining because people are giving up looking for work.

can any smart economists explain why growth and employment went way down in 2020, then went way up afterwards? I'm no expert but looking at these, we can't elect trump and risk him repeating that early 2020, but if we reelect biden we might get another 2021!
also, does inflation have any impact on the worth of wage growth? I've heard a lot about inflation in the news recently, just wondering if it's better to have 5% wage growth with 6% inflation or 2% inflation, thanks for any advice on the matter

Regulations changed on savings accounts to make them more liquid and more attractive.
Simply ignoring the change in regulations would've caused weird things to happen in the measurements, because people actively moved money into savings accounts. M1 would've fallen when the root thing it was measuring (money that can be spent now) went up.

Did you ever try to transfer money into or out of your savings accounts more than 6x a month? And get a note from your bank saying "you shouldn't do this with a savings account"?
That mostly went away. Regulations allows for money in savings accounts to be accessed more easily.
M1 is (to simplify) money that is "ready to spend" and you can spend out of your savings account now. Not only that, but people moved money into savings accounts, check WDDNS.
And so savings accounts were moved from M2 to M1. If someone was just watching M1 like an r-slur and not aware of the change in savings accounts regulations, they would've thought a bunch of money just vanished into less-available space, when the literal opposite happened instead (more money becoming available to spend).
