It depends on the metrics, the time frame, specific groups of Americans, and individual priorities—there is no single objective yes/no answer.

AI is expected to create more job opportunities than it destroys on net, though it will significantly disrupt and transform the labor market, requiring large-scale reskilling and occupational shifts.

Yes, stopping immigration (or sharply reducing net migration to near zero or negative levels) would very likely cause or worsen labor shortages in key sectors and slow overall U.S. labor force and economic growth, especially given current demographics—though markets would adapt over time via higher wages, automation, reduced output, and other adjustments.

Whether Joe Biden was a "good" president is inherently subjective. It depends on one's values, priorities (e.g., economy, foreign policy, social issues, immigration), partisan leanings, and how one weighs achievements against shortcomings.

Whether Joe Biden was a "good" president is inherently subjective—it depends on one's priorities (e.g., economic metrics vs. inflation pain, legislative output vs. border security, alliance-building vs. specific war outcomes), values, and political views.

Yes, stopping or sharply reducing immigration is likely to cause or exacerbate labor shortages in the short-to-medium term, especially in certain sectors, though labor markets adjust over time through higher wages, prices, automation, and other changes—with associated economic costs.[[1]](https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/us-migrant-halt-may-wipe-potential-job-growth-2025-06-24/) This conclusion

Yes, on balance—particularly higher effective rates for the ultra-wealthy—though the how matters more than a simple rate hike, and the case is stronger for base-broadening and closing preferences than pure statutory rate increases.

Social media is neither clearly more harmful nor more helpful overall—it is a powerful tool whose net effects depend heavily on how it is used, by whom, for how long, the specific platforms/content, and individual vulnerabilities.
