The rub: Trump could transition to Pronouns and still be recognized for his Orange character!

 

Imagine having real journalists instead of leftist activists spin!

 

Unfortunately we cannot....the MAGA PR flak banned anyone not funded by right wing think tanks from the briefing room.

At least we won't have to worry about North Korea

Interesting that any good economic news is attributable to trump, and any bad economic news is Biden's fault.

 

 

I guess a Biden stock market reaching all time highs is bad economic news, and shares in free fall thanks to Trump tariffs is great news for the short sellers.

@Yagoda Bringing economic news that's supposed to level up 47 but actually is not very good at all. No wonder he is an American economic refugee in Cambodia.

"Despite what some commentators currently view as an extraordinary cash position at Berkshire, the great majority of your money remains in equities," Buffett reassured Berkshire shareholders in his annual letter in February, referring to both the stocks and businesses that his company owns.

I looked at the data by sector. The biggest impact in having inflation come in at 2.8% vs a higher expectation was a drop in energy prices.

 

The reason energy dropped is because the market is pricing in a Recession, and thus less demand for energy.

 

I did note Rent was up at 4%, egg prices at an all time high, and the effect of a 30% jump in steel prices and a 20% jump in limber prices since the end of January did not yet impact the February CPI, as it takes a while for wholesale prices to filter down to the consumer level, which is the CPI.

 

The MAGA spin on this just makes them look as intellectual empty and ignorant as they are. Kind of like their love muffin, who barked about whomever it was who signed the energy buying deal with Canada. Turns out it was 45. It seems senility in the old coot is rising faster than the price of eggs.

Ok, so inflation is higher than in the Biden term. And the value is unreliable because it was pre-tariff war.

What was the point of posting the inflation number? It is now irrelevant.

sheer desperation,  they have nothing else to feel good about, wait until the correct numbers come out, quite sure none of them will be posting such numbers

Canada is rolling over. Still the 25% tariffs in place and they climbed down from their threat to target US electricity. You can spin it how you like. Everyone can see Canada got smacked down.

 

After all what leverage does Canada have? Very little. 

 

You don't have the cards, Canada.

Don't expect to be taken seriously when you spit out nonsense like this. Canada has not rolled over. The response hasn't even started. The retaliatory  tariffs from Canada were never removed. The electricity tax was in addition to those tariffs.

 

Outside of your little group no one is saying Canada was smacked down. As the US economy starts to unravel, I think we will see some changes. It takes time. The resources are not going anywhere and  it is physically impossible to replace them in months or even a year.  The USA can't go it alone and it has declared economic war on just about everyone. If no one wants to trade or transact with the USA, the USA is going to have a problem. 78% of its GDP is service based. Only industry creates sustainable long term wealth. Selling mutual funds, or serving fries at Wendy's isn't where the wealth is. It is in taking  raw materials and transforming them into items of higher value. Crops will be rotting in US fields because of the shortage of farm labor. New homes will increase in cost because of  labor shortages and increased construction material costs. This takes time to manifest.

Except in the digital world some Billionaire buys into a startup and create a "Platform monopoly", a walled garden like Bookface or 🍏 and exploit Gum'mint contracts because you purchased Republicans.

Like your spin with fhe egg prices. The culling of approx 100mn birds has nothing to do with the price of eggs I'm sure.
