Probably true. I fit at least two of those....well off and liberal. I'm younger than most here, I suspect, and only mostly white.

Oh my! I'm going to go out on a limb and guess your economics "knowledge" comes from POTUS' eponymous and failed "university". No other way to explain how you could be both so cocksure and so wrong. Here's some homework for you....look up "stagflation". Or go take a look at Mugabe's Zimbabwe as its currency crashed and import prices soared. People stopped spending, but inflation was a bazillion percent.

I think the economic knowledge of those "lefties" dwarfs your Dunning-Kreuger economic knowledge. Why, it only took a few minutes for one of those "lefties" to point out your error, noting Q1 2024, a year before the clownshow.

Now if POTUS is actually a 4 dimensional chess player, maybe he understands that GDP gets dinged by imports, so since many ports are already bereft of container ships, and store shelves are emptying out, imports might halt completely, and given the way GDP is calculated, POTUS could conceivably squeeze a positive GDP out of the second Quarter. Of course it would be deceptive, and he would take full credit for the "gain", but the economy would be in shambles. Though he's already blamed Biden for the SECOND Quarter negative GDP print, the guy is good at flipflopping, and his faithful can also switch on a dime and buy into whatever fantasy and sham he concocts.

I did not want the market to tank, I just knew it would. I did not want the dollar to tank, I just knew it would. I did not want to economy to tank, I just knew it would. I did not want the US to become the laughing stock of the world, I just knew it would. Take off the Chinese-made Golden Sneakers, take off the Chinese-made watch, put down the Chinese-printed bible, throw away the NFT cards that portray a fat, old, out of shape guy as a fighter pilot or astronaut, and one could see clearly what is coming. Eyes wide shut and all one sees is fantasy.

Zelenskyy was a comedian, and this might be his best joke yet. The minerals POTUS seeks are in areas currently under Russian control, not Ukraine's.

On 29 January 2024...note 2024...he posted that it was his stock market, "because my polls against Biden are so good that investors are projecting that I will win". Now that he is POTUS and the stock market, dollar and economy are tanking, suddenly it's all Biden again. Weak. MAGAweak.

And his Depression on 31 December, just in time for New Years.

You mean the announcement of a negative GDP and price rise higher than economists expected? No, not dark. Just what I knew would happen. I knew if anyone could take Biden's +2.8% growth and turn it negative within 100 days, it's the guy with 6 bankruptcies. I think Mark Burnett should start a new show, after POTUS is done or impeached....."a fat old man with no job skills and a record of abject failure, takes his resume around to such places as 7-11 or a nail salon or makeup studio, looking for work....hijinx ensue"

Stock market: Down Dollar: Down GDP: Down Inflation: Up Unemployment: Up Yea, he's like the guy who delivers your meal, already full of cockroaches and maggots. Okay if you're in a Russian Gulag, but not particularly good anywhere else.

Some people are proud of meaningful things they have achieved in life. Others, absent anything notable, think they're special because of endless posts, under endless iterations, on an obscure website. Are you going to post your Call of Duty score, too? That should be equally impressive. I bet the "chicks" are weak in the knees seeing what you've done.

Been sharing 30 baht street food with Elon, have you? I wondered how you would know what he thinks.

He can't handle the truth. Amazon should stay with it. Walmart and Target should follow suit. Everybody should know why they are paying more and who is solely responsible. Obviously POTUS wants to hide, probably so he can blame Biden or Obama or Joe Scarborough.

Personally, I'm a bit pedantic. I do my homework, so when someone tosses out nonsense, like "best economy EVAH!", I do things like search data bases and gather information. For example, I found POTUS45 presided over an economy whose growth was in the bottom 30% of all Presidents since the end of WWII---and that BEFORE Covid sent him even lower. I even posted charts from the BEA, a government agency, that should he had the worst economy since Herbert Hoover...again, BEFORE Covid. I often see that folks claim Republicans are better for the economy, so I went and gathered data going back to the beginning of the R Party, and found not a single Repub POTUS has ever NOT presided over the start of a Recession. Not even one. (POTUS47 will keep that record intact, and "skillfully" get it done in his first two Quarters. That level of incompetence is otherwordly.) Democrat POTUSs, however, have a few who never saw a Recession. The same is true for the stock market: traditionally, it performs better under Democrats. My factual posts get the same reaction as a Danish cartoonist who portrays a certain prophet. Cults of any stripe are like that.

Sometimes it's necessary, and Miss Small, our 3rd grade English teacher, is still sitting on our shoulder, especially when people use "would of" instead of "would have". "Of" is a preposition. It does not precede verbs. "Would have + verb" is a conditional perfect tense. The English language is a rich and beautiful means of expression. To butcher it, as one does when using abominations such as "would of", is both an affront to decency and indicative of a poor education.
