Sweet

Why does it need spun? It’s potentially an end which is good. There may be a bitter taste depending on how everything pans out but it’s a start.

I don’t remember that but if he did that was dumb. I know there was some concern that inflation would lead to wage growth and the so-called viscous circle. Agree most likely cause, although don’t blame Powell from pulling the only lever he had.

Yes, it was inflation that Powell was trying to stop, so why did you say wage growth lol?

Didn’t you say repeatedly that inflation had little to do with Fed policy because it was a result of Covid? How can Powell get no credit yet get the blame lol.

This was the leaked plan from last year. Now that Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire the pressure moves.

Lol, I am willing to bet that the people who predominantly own Teslas are those on the political left. People don't like giving money to companies run by people they don't like - it's just how the world works. It's not just Tesla, the Disney thread had some chatter about their strategy of producing content which alienated people - not helped when they directly got involved in Florida politics. Also look at what happened with Budweiser when they pushed a particularly agenda.

I think he deleted this one:

And you sound like Putin lol.

Yeh Putin doesn’t, but instead you post pictures of people being drafted in Ukraine, not the Russian men used as cannon fodder. Yeh the draft sucks but Western countries have had the draft many times. Nobody in Europe wants to fight, Ukraine aren’t asking for Europeans to fight (yet), they are asking for military aid. If the Europeans providing military aid is barking, then the Americans providing no aid is what animal sound?

Now do Russia. Oh that’s right, you don’t.

thanks

Fair enough. I think the tariffs should be used in certain circumstances, and particularly against a certain country that also begins with C, but that country isn’t Canada.

What kind of % are you adding and how many adds until you have a position you are comfortable with?

Trump set himself up to fail on a lot of these by saying a lot of wild stuff. You used to rip Powell and his handling of the economy, but it’s tumbleweeds with Trump’s tariffs. These things unfortunately work both ways.

China has been engaged in some of the most unfair and discriminatory trade practices of any country in history over the last half century. From massive currency manipulation operated via a peg to the dollar, state run enterprises, dumping excess products such as steel into markets to wreck competitors, theft of IP, all while restricting access of their markets to western countries. Yet you want to ignore those obvious disparities so you can meme?

My portfolio has been blasted these last couple of weeks. Some stocks down 25%. Luckily I was sitting in a lot of crash but still, it hurts.

You’re arguing parts of my comments which aren’t there. There is no implied argument in my post that the cultists differ between Dems and GOP. For the purposes of this conversation I don’t give a crap how they stack up. I’m not suggesting that the defund the police, gender theory, and much of the other stuff woke stuff is not a cult. It most definitely IS a cult in my view. I’m saying if it wasn’t okay when they did it, why is it ok when Trump does it?

Trump’s untruths are more brash and more frequent than just about any other politician I know. The problem isn’t that HE says things which are untrue, it’s that other people don’t see it, don’t care, or believe it’s true. It’s their sheepish behaviour, either through not questioning, not caring, or their faith based believing that is concerning. Some of them are cultists who don’t know they are. Some of the same people who are quick to call out CNN or Biden’s false claims - totally fairly I might add - are suspiciously quiet which Trump does the same.

This is a control map of Ukraine around the approximate time the Russia - Ukraine talks broke down: Not exactly a the position of strength you claim it was. In terms of waving a magic wand, the only person who thinks they have one is Trump, who had repeatedly said that he would end the war on day 1. He needs to swish that wand harder, we are nearly at 50 days.

Notice John how my question about why Trump says untrue things went unanswered. There are no good answers to that question. But to admit so would be to criticise Trump. Regarding the valid points. I’ve been saying this for years as a European. Trump is right, but it was known before Trump too.

We will get rid of them eventually. But I think Trump is weak too, just in a different way.

Say what you want about Macron and Trudeau, they don’t say things which aren’t true nearly as much as Trump. I hated when CNN and other place slant and distort events, remember the ‘good people’ comment. I just don’t have it in my to kiss the ring and accept that shit just because its someone with my ideological slant doing.

Let’s just assume you’re right above. He can do all the above and not say things which are untrue. So why does he do it?

Trump again saying US in for 350 billion and Europe a 100 billion. Question for cubs and anyone else, why do you think he keeps saying things that are untrue?

The first president to send lethal weapons to Ukraine was Trump. That was then this is now. I think there are a load of possible reasons why changegonnacome could be right.
