Please Buy My Teslas, MAGA
Looks like if you're not a cop, nurse or plumber you should probably like, start your own salsa startup or something. "Quick-Quick-Slow, Quick-Quick-Slow" The current moment isn't the Great Depression, but there are some eerie similarities — and the dynamics you're describing could absolutely lead to stagflation if conditions worsen. Let's break it down: 1. White Collar Recession For over a year, high-income professionals — especially in tech, finance, media, and consulting — have been hit hard. Mass layoffs, hiring freezes, and fewer job openings at the $100K+ level. Many of these workers aren't counted in traditional unemployment stats if they’re freelancing, consulting, or just out of the workforce. 2. Now Enter: Broad-Based Tariffs A 10%+ tax on almost all imports raises prices across the board — this is essentially an imported inflation. U.S. companies that rely on global supply chains will face higher costs, which either: Get passed to consumers (raising prices), Or force cost-cutting — often via layoffs. 3. The Stagflation Setup Stagnation: White collar job growth is already sluggish. Inflation: Tariffs + possible retaliation (especially energy and industrial goods) could push prices up. Interest rates are still high — so the Fed has limited tools to help without making inflation worse. That’s a dangerous combo: high unemployment for skilled workers + rising prices + high borrowing costs = stagflation risk. Why this is a different kind of crisis: In the Great Depression, demand collapsed across all sectors. Now, we're seeing a mismatch: blue-collar labor is still in demand, while white-collar opportunities dry up — especially in AI-disrupted sectors. And this time, inflation is already a threat, so adding tariffs is like throwing gas on a slow-burning fire. Deep Stupid 2.0. 🔥 -

Drunk? Methinks someone will be popping positive for opioids and benzos. Best to have eaten them all as prison doth awaits for even and minuscule amount in possession. -

Falling Crane Smashes Pickup on Rama 2, Driver Seriously Injured
Agreed. I am tense through that whole stretch. I should use the left hand slow lane but sometimes I wing it through the fast lane. I think its been about 20 years. We stay at my wife's older sister's house. I'm 76 and my wife is 79. My reflexes are slower now. -
