Leave it to the Fake president Biden and his libtard thugs to bring back the misery index.

Americans, decide you now have a high, medium or low level of malaise as you put on your Jimmy Carter sweaters when you can’t afford the heating bills.

In my small 2-bdr apartment, my highest winter natural gas bills were in the $60s from 2017 through 2020.

January 2021 jumped to $70.

February 2021 jumped to $85.

January 2022 inched up to $87.

February 2022 jumped up to $124.

My gas bill basically doubled from 2020 to 2022.

Additionally, a Facebook group with over 130,000 members has been cancelled off the social media platform for organizing a U.S. convoy amid allegations that the movement was being promoted by “right-wing extremists.” The administrators of the group deny these allegations.

Well the solution is simple.

Congress passes a law that everyone will have a job and gets paid a living wage.

If for some reason you don’t have a job temporarily you get a minimum income until the government finds you a job.

So, there it is in a nutshell everyone will have the same level of misery.

I was early in my working life in ‘75 and ‘80, the two highest peaks of the Crybaby Index.

I wasn’t miserable, I was happy and progressing. I saw newspaper articles about the Misery Index but paid no attention, just kept working and investing. I was thrilled with how I was doing throughout that period.

Things are even better this time around.

My son went from a conservative to a Trump hater and even donated to Biden’s campaign. When the misery index soon reaches Carter levels I will pose to him Reagan’s question...”Are you better off?”
