Dem Rep. Chu: People ‘Should Find that Things are Less Expensive than Normal’ — They’re ‘Tired After 3 Years of COVID’
Breitbart ^ | 08/07/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 08/07/2023 5:13:14 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s edition of NBC’s “MTP Now, Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) blamed the close polling margins between President Joe Biden and 2024 GOP candidate former President Donald Trump in part on people being “tired after three years of COVID,” and responded to the President’s poor economic polling numbers by stating that “We have a reduction in inflation. So, for people who are looking at their pocketbook, they should find that things are less expensive than normal.”

In response to polling showing Biden and Trump in a dead heat, Chu said, “I can’t believe it either. However, I do say that, once people learn what the benefits of Bidenomics are, that they will understand that this is transformative, that we will have so many more jobs — already, we have 13 million jobs, 800,000 of them being good-paying manufacturing jobs. But I think that they will see, as the bridges are opened and as the new factories are opened, that this is something that will transform this economy for the better. But I do think people are tired after three years of COVID, they’re a little weary right now.”

These kids don’t understand decimals. Many of them, even if they are college graduates, they don’t understand decimals. If you ask them which is smaller, 0.1 or 0.09 they can’t tell you.

Its typical bash the lowest economic denominator thinking that is a mainstay of Free Republic.

The actual problem is up the economic latter, where “non productive bloat” has been making a killing since globalization became an economic reality.

I thought those kind of people were smart.

Not even close.

It’s not Covid we are tired of. It is the government officials have mishandled the so-called pandemic. Businesses and lives destroyed. Ineffective masks, distancing, and “vaccines.” Trillions of dollars wasted. Schools shut down. Pure insanity in the name of “science.”

A 20 year old who graduated from high school who cannot divide 8 by 16???? Who doesn’t know there are 16 ounces in a pound?

I don’t care what you say about me. But that is a horrible indictment of public schools.

You have no clue whether the person went to pubic school. I think you’re the uneducated one. At least he works.

My sister taught math for 45 years to middle school and high school students. She had lots of kids graduating from high school who were unable to divide 1/2 by 2. She would patiently explain about taking a half of an apple and cutting it in two, then ask what you had. The kids would get it using examples like that. But move into the abstract (1/2 divided by 2) and they were totally lost.

Oh yeah? Well, I made it to age 70 without ever working a day in my life. It was great.

“Less expensive than normal “. What do they consider “normal” to be?

Do Congress women even do their own grocery shopping?

How much you wanna bet Chu eats the same kind of ice cream as Nancy Pelosi and has never been in a Super Walmart?

A high school graduate, probably going to college and he doesn’t know that there are 16 ounces in a pound?

And your defending him?

I think I have figured out who the KAREN is!

Yes I am. I don’t understand why you had to be nasty. Hard working kid trying to do good doesn’t live to your expectations. So what if he doesn’t know ounces: get a pound.

The kid should have known, I agree. But what kind of scale did the cutter use to weigh the ham? Condidering the exchange was in a supermarket, was it an electronic one? Did it display in ounces? Or tenths and hundreths of a pound?

Anymore, I’m used to seeing cutters and counter staff using electronic scales that display decimals to two places.

“Did it display in ounces?”

That’s a very good point. I’ll bet you are exactly right. I’ll have to check it next time I’m in. Thanks for pointing that out?

I recall there was a display for the customer to see and it showed decimal fractions of a pound.

Even so, people working in delis should know the basics: 16 ounces to the pound, 8 ounces is a half pound is 0.5 pounds.

Of course, if we used grams and kilograms, things would be a lot easier. I remember my two freshman physics courses that all used SI units. By the time I got into my engineering courses in my sophomore year, we switched to English units. It was harder going from a year of using metric to English units than it was getting comfortable with metric in my frosh year.
