Man I havent even really been posting here that much, not deliberately, just cuz things are quite boring politically of late, and outside having to briefly come back to curb stomp some turd covered gnat(whom detests my political commentary yet then begs for it when Im no longer giving it) and still, the sirens songs of COBF keep trying to pull me back in!

LOL, when you do return with a political post?  It will be one to remember Greg!

I'm sorry to see how this not well thought out comment of mine, with no real value, has trigered this exchange, despite both gents Charlie [ @dealraker ] and @73 Reds are handling it well.

 

A token of the basic and severe division inside the American society, I speculate.

I think it's about 1½ years ago, I did put on a 'personal silencer' in this topic on myself related to domestic US politics [not US foreign politics] and US general conditions, but it unfortunately still happens regularly, that a quip unintentionally escapes between my rips.

Nothing I post should be taken as seriously as the typed words suggest.  If or when you meet me in person you'll find that I'm conversational, that's in print and speech.  I mostly enjoy interacting with those on the other sides of issues than me, there's nothing more of a let down than hanging out with like minded's...it puts me to sleep.  The only things that bother me are the intense extremes, which tend to be over-displayed of course by our news sources.  But they sell ads and selling is what most news today is about.

When you start posting that Bill Clinton was responsible for both the late 1990's market and the budget surplus then I'll better understand where you are coming from.  

That's just it; I didn't complain non-stop about those with whom I had disagreements (i.e., Biden), and I readily acknowledge disagreements even with those I support (i.e., Trump).  Last I checked, COBF didn't exist when Clinton was President(?) but there was a lot there to like in those days.  Too bad he would be a pariah among today's democrats.

Ha I mean the only thing really permeating of late is wondering why every single numb nut Fed official and politician wants to talk about the horrors of inflation because of oil(war...DUH!), or heck BBQ prices(meat derivative)...but we all dance along oblivious as to why memory prices are A-OK having gone up 10x as 3-4 main guys sport 80% margins....is Liz the Indian still hammering home how unacceptable BX's 40% NOI margin is on rentals, or about big builders still having 20% margins financed by double digit construction loans? The more things go on, the more it seems the masses are just totally losing track of the things that are relevant to whats happening.

Yep. The thing I wonder about is whether there is a deliberate "overload" strategy going on, or if it's just a side effect of the way things happen these days.

 

Like, it's pretty clear that the "never let a crisis go to waste" thing from decades back was and is a deliberate strategy, and I'm wondering if overload is too.
