1. You are definitely numero uno in terms of your ability to cram more misstatements into a single post than just about any other poster. I won’t bother with them all but as an example, your rant included the following tidbit:
“He [Biden]made people lose jobs over his vaccine mandates now boasts how jobs have gone up… because he eliminated them first…”

Sorry, but most of the mask mandates at the FEDERAL level never became effective due to court stays or injunctive action. Most of those who lost their jobs were from vaccination requirements imposed by companies in the private sector who decided that it was good business practice for THEM and their customers. For example, United Airlines decided early on that most passengers would feel a bit safer if flight crews were vaccinated and they achieved roughly 98% vaccination rate.
Some state and local governments also imposed vaccination requirements for certain public sector jobs like first responders and health care workers. If you bothered to google, you will see the attrition rate at hospitals attributed to vaccination mandates was about 2-3% of total employees. In NYC, the number of first responders who lost their jobs because of vaccination requirements was about 1.2%
The highest national estimate of individuals terminated as a result of failure to adhere to vaccination requirements was about 180,000 jobs compared with 6.34 million new jobs created during 2021, Biden’s first year in office. That really high job loss estimate has been criticized for including some who used the vaccination requirement as an excuse to claim unemployment in several red states that offered the option to anti-vax employees or for other reasons.
Sorry, facts are inconvenient but occasionally do matter.
