He is an effect of this broken system and not the cause of it. He of course did little more than pass a typical Republican tax cut though credit where credit is due he did not get us into any new wars though he was and is still pro Israel. Biden and the current Democrat party is in 2024 what the Republicans were in 2004. Sending billions to Ukraine and Israel and supporting the same authoritarianism Bush and neocons supported. BOTH parties are corrupt and paid for by the Israeli lobby (and yes I’m including Trump in that). Some minor differences on social issues maybe but on the whole no matter who wins Tel Aviv wins.

@@OhJodi69 Exactly. This is why people need to pay attention in school. Because it's really easy to look at numbers and dream up some broken logic that is painfully wrong but feels seductively correct. Food is cheaper now than it has ever been in history. This is why even in poor countries everyone is FAT. In 2022 the US finally hit disposable income levels spent on food that reached the levels seen in 1980, but only because people are spending twice as much eating out and half as much on food from the grocery store. In 1980 people spent about 8.5% of their disposable income on food at the grocery store. Today that number is closer to 5% so food in grocery stores makes up about 40% less in household spending today than it was in 1980 in real money. Those savings are now being spent in restaurants.

Unique sound. I still hear it. I used IBM systems and use to be the on call troubleshooter. I once had a idiot head cashier tell me I wasn’t supposed to “fix” the register and she called support. The support people told her to hold, heard my name paged for a call. Picked up the phone at next register and I was connected to support and the head cashier who called. The support person says just reset it so we don’t have to send out a tech. Store manager eventually said to staff call me first not support unless I deem it necessary.

The cash registers were a nice look at the first that were computerized, but there weren't scanners there yet. I first saw a grocery scanner summer 1980 at a Shaw's Market in N. Conway, NH. I also like the closeup of the receipt at 3:00. I think the old mechanical registers could also measure sales by department, and this computerized receipt could also show (as I think the older ones could also) the department to which each sale was made: FRZ (frozen), DY (dairy), PRO (produce), GRX (taxable grocery), and MT (meat).
