I mean... how much is Biden to blame for a lot of this stuff?
It's certainly not his fault that a hacker group placed ransomware on the infrastructure of a private company, causing a short-lived shortage in gas supply which will be forgotten in 2 months.
It's not his fault that the fucked up political calculus for both the Hamas and Netanyahu makes unrest and violence in the ME politically expedient for both sides.
After 15 months of consumers not being able to spend their money, there was always going to be a surge of inflation once the restrictions are lifted. If the inflation lingers or rises even further, then we can blame that on Biden - but not the current surge.
Likewise, the jobs report might just be a temporary post-covid hiccup, and Biden only deserves blame if this situation persists for several more months.
Look, I dont trust Biden and expect him to fuck things up eventually, but that's in the future. Right now, it's too early to put the blame on him for most of this stuff.
