We each have our own situations to deal with. The shame is on the collective. So much lip service offered in support but we can’t be bothered to give a little help? It would hardly inconvenience the rich west to raise enough private funds to make an overwhelming difference. If we actually...

I was only thinking of tariffs on China, but this guy is unhinged so **** him and **** tariffs. They’re all bad, everywhere, no matter what, no matter if mercantilist China is distorting our markets, undermining our businesses, gutted our manufacturing capacity, and encourages congress to spend...

Have you donated to Ukraine?

Outside of Jazzspazz ofc, this constant posting is why there’s only like 4 dudes left in here. Want to know why it’s a ghost town? It’s you.

Not enough personal stories here anymore, which are the best part. I’d much rather read about your life than your whacky views. I’ll go first. Overall, we fared pretty well, though it got pretty tight in the middle, especially at the grocery store. We have a lot of special food needs so it can...

Actually, there is much better apologetic lines, and since I don’t have a horse in this race I’ll write one for you. That way you can insert it into your previous **** sure blunder of a post and we’ll pretend you wrote it. Oh please. Do you forget we were facing a second wave of Covid and...

Poor Biden apologist, always demanding a full dissertation in every post to explain simple things to you. Maybe this stuff would be easier for you to understand if you weren’t so cocksure about things you have zero working knowledge of. You’re a know-it-all teenager. Of course, that would...

Your typical pseudo intellect response so I’ll take your original farce at face value. Your inference here is beyond absurd: Trump and Biden checks didn’t go to economies X,Y,Z, hence I have undeniable proof that it was supply-side only that caused inflation in economies X,Y,Z. Who gives a...

Contradict what? There’s been no discussion here, hence no disagreement. Those links were tangential, typical election cycle political commentary. Did I miss them contradicting imports roughly 14% of GDP? Smoot-Hawley dragging US through depression for longer than Europe? An accounting...

You aren’t making any sense. I can try to be patient and understand you but you’re gonna have to connect the dots at least a little bit here.

You sure do get worked up. No doubt supply side played a major role in both inflation going up and coming back down. So did Biden’s overstimulus, when many economists argued it wasn’t necessary. It’s pretty obvious in hindsight it wasn’t, at least not on the scale he used. So did monetary...

You’re both talking past me and full of hubris so this is pointless. You started in with arm chair economist doom posting so I thought I’d add something that might take the edge off. I see that was a mistake. Hope you have a great day!

He’ll do everything he can, but he has a massive Obama-Biden policy blunder pit to dig out of. Not sure he will be able to. Ukraine is on the precipice and likely to fall. You know how many of these CNN soap opera addicted dorks are rooting for it with baited breath, waiting to blame the fall...

I’d give any president a pass since they generally have **** all to do with these things. Biden deserves all the blame he gets for inflation for dumping gasoline stimulus onto an economy that didn’t need it just as Trump deserves all the blame he gets for blowing up the deficit with TCJA and...

Appeal to authority is lame and you are being closed minded. I’m guessing you haven’t read Paul Krugman’s “What Economists (Including Me) Got Wrong About Globalization” essay, anything from Lionel Gilbert prize winner, Bloomberg’s fifty most influential list, and highly, highly respected by...

When did you become such a doomer? Join a cult or something? No clue why anyone would think Trump will dismantle social security. That’s definitely not happening. Trump TCJA was marginal help to low income seniors, marginal but everything helps when affording basics is tough. He campaigned on...

I run into a **** ton of high level “journalism” on twitter. Lot of PhD’s with decades of history in their heads. That, and the N Korean soldiers binging on porn after Russia introduced them to the internet. Where else can you get stuff like that?

This neo-Con bull **** is the real reason Trump won. It’s dumb **** dumb and nobody buying it anymore. If you gave two ***** about Ukraine, all the rapes and deaths and destruction, then you’d be out stumping for Trump instead of praying for Kamala “Dick Cheney” Harris. The neo-Cons supported...

It’s easy to encourage people to do what we feel is rights, tax them. Sin tax gasoline. Refund it to farmers, truckers, whatever. But if you want to spew unburned carbon in the Honda Civic’s window or roll coal on a cyclist because you hate them and want to impress your **** eating, confederate...

You make some solid points here Jim but you are overplaying your hand. You might have top pair but definitely no full house. Globalization isn’t a catchphrase meaning all production goes to the lowest priced labor. There are 7 billion people on this spinning rock and the vast majority are...
