The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

[Al-O-Meter]

Wow! Great news!

The economy boomed in Biden's first year. His second will be harder

The US economic recovery from the depths of the Covid pandemic continued through the end of last year.

Not when you look at the internal numbers. That growth number was largely fueled by inflation of the currency which the Fed has vowed to end.

You posted a similar line a month or so ago and said your wife worked in finance and was predicting rainbows and unicorns and an amazing economy for 2022. I told you then to wait for the Fed announcement because you weren't pricing in what the Fed will inevitably have to do. Now we have a little better idea and EVERYONE is paring back their estimates for 2022. Is your wife still on the rainbows and unicorns train or is she starting to see what is about to hit?

The Democrats have completely screwed the economy and once that inflation number ticks back down our reality will be obvious to everyone. The stock market already sees it. How soon everyone else sees it is the question. Enjoy that CNN article because I have a feeling the tone out of CNN on the economy is going to change in the coming weeks.

Not really cancelled. Just removed from the curriculum, still in the library.

As a professional educator, do you feel Maus is age-appropriate for all groups 12-14 year-olds?

Mike Peterson, reliably liberal, does not:

CSotD: First the fury, then the facts

I don’t disagree with Steve Brodner (or Neil Gaiman)’s take on the idea of banning Art Spiegelman’s now-classic graphic memoir, Maus. Or, at least, I wouldn’t disagree if what is being reported were what had happened. As DD Degg noted here yesterday, the Daily Beast reports that “The McMinn...

I haven't read this book, have you? I'm unfamiliar with Mike Peterson. I'm merely highlighting the irony shown by the same folks who whine about cancel culture.

Yes, in fact, she and her bank absolutely are optimistic about 2022:

Do you know better than JP Morgan Chase? What is your educational and professional background again?

I'm not opposed to the sentiment, just saying this may not be the best example of it. Hypocrisy regarding "cancel culture" is certainly rampant.

I applaud your willingness to plant your flag in the sand. I'll keep checking in on it every month or so to see if you see the issues yet.

I know you love to argue, but you'll find no argument with me. As I've told you before, you don't argue with good faith arguments. You're dishonest and unbelievably partisan. Just like how you don't want to be honest and admit that you lack background in economics and finance. There's an old saying about wrestling with a pig. That applies perfectly to you.

So if you seek argument, contact JP Morgan Chase.

Projecting much? I didn't offer up an argument.

I think Maus would be appropriate for an AP History class. It's seriously fantastic, and is the only graphic work to win a Pulitzer Prize (they changed the rules after it won).

Also, I read that one of the things they were objecting to was nudity. IT'S A DRAWING OF MOUSE. If I recall, it's his mother who is emaciated in or just after the camps. There is, or should be, absolutely nothing sexual about it - altho I am aware a 12 year old boy can sexualize anything, but, that's the point, they can sexualize anything.

Wow! Nearly half a million jobs created??? Excellent news! I’m not tired from all of this winning!

The U.S. job market came through January in much better shape than expected despite a winter wave of coronavirus infections.

Employers added 467,000 jobs last month, according to a new tally from the Labor Department, far outpacing even the most optimistic forecasts. The gains came despite a surge in COVID-19 cases tied to the omicron variant.
