"God?" Pretty confident there Slick.

Hahah dang it I meant “good”. I’m confident in my skills but not blasphemous levels of confident

Many small biz will fall out. Is this a known recession redirect?

Who is in charge of deciding who is worthy of being sent to those prisons?

Why circumcise a baby? Can't they make that decision when they're an adult?

I'm for Trump deciding on both of these.

Are we not all Americans? If so, should we not follow the rules and the law? Beating up cops and intimidating elected representatives ...

Funny that you should bring that up. Democrat elected representatives refuse to condemn attacks on Tesla dealerships and owners' vehicles. They refuse to condemn violent protests and assaults on university campuses concerning Jews, and refuse to condemn the widespread death and destruction of the 2020 BLM riots. But will say over and over that the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol Building was the worst attack on democracy since the Civil War. President Biden characterized the tens of millions of Trump supporters as the current greatest threat to democracy.

It's now obvious why the Democrats were so keen on stopping Trump. He's exposing the graft and corruption. He's taking away the gravy train. And unfortunately the perpetrators are in league with millions of useful idiots who are willing to turn a blind eye because if the gravy train stops then the funding for their particular strain of craziness stops. Welcome to America 2025.

Funny movie and relevant scene

 

[Appvol]

Markets -12% in 4 days.

Betting our good name and future on an unproven economic theory. It's economic malpractice in the extreme. There's no clear goal, the goals keep changing.

Oh, he's negotiating for lower tariffs.

Oh, he's wanting to bring back as much widget manufacturing Stateside as possible.

Oh, he's trying to get our trade deficit "fixed".

None of this is proven by history or by economic modelling. It's stupid is what it is.

Great.

So you are for Wall Street and not the Middle Class working man. You don’t want the poor to have a chance to get a job but you want them to live off the government.

Making Sock Factories Great Again isn’t going to make us financially free and secure.

 

[Next Day Err]

As a share of their total exports only 12.7% is to the U.S. from China.

Is Trump sure he can win this game of chicken?

I guess we voted to FAFO!

STUPID

 

[Over70irregs]

You start to realize our assets are overvalued. Old way: People make cheap crap, buy our debt, use our $. They are tired of being pimped. Domestically our people are not very educated and lack math skills and STEM basics. Which politics thrive on. AI is pushing and we need a cover to push the blame. Stop there.

That comment right there shows what you really think of the working class. If that sock worker was making a living and taking care of his family that’s bad in your eyes. Can’t have factory jobs in this country. Just let slave labor in other countries make the stuff we need. Everything is about Wall Street to you when most in this country don’t care about stocks.

Automation and productivity gains reduced our need for factory workers much more than free trade.

Bessent was involved with Soros in the dilution of the pound in the 90’s. The BOE was on deck then.
We are here in real time.

So you are for automation to get productivity gains and not the working man. Sounds like you are UPS upper management best friend. I bet that slave labor used in other countries wish they had automation that make the stuff you buy

Should we still be on horse and buggy technology? We destroyed the poor carriage industry with the internal combustion engine.

I’m just not a Philistine.

So you are saying I’m uncultured and dumb. We are talking about the working class trying to be able to make a good living and even the poor having a chance. So you are calling those people uncultured and dumb. You are really showing your true colors. Guess you are a cheese and wine guy using a word like Philistine

Am I?

Being afraid of technology to make workers more productive isn't constructive. Becoming more productive is ultimately the only thing that truly undergirds a better standard of living. All economists understand this tenet.

 

[Next Day Err]

Walmart and Delta are pulling their forecasts because of this trade uncertainty.

Imagine being an entrepreneur who was interested in investing in operations in the United States, or really anywhere for that matter. Wouldn't this turmoil give you pause?

Trump is risking freezing up commerce and destroying the global economy. What a .

Yes you are. You think the working class doesn’t deserve a spot at the table.
