Aside from Trump,

we have a really good bench in JD Vance and Marco Rubio that don't promote child grooming, child mutilation, open borders, homelessness, open air drug use, appeasement of terrorist/drug cartels, socialism, communism, progressivism and anything else the looney left likes to promote

Oof, not a good look, FL(efty)bear. It's okay, I know virtue signaling is an important strategy of the left, but it don't work for me.

You really are a MAGA sheep, arent you? Look up the number of Trump friends and associates that have increased their net worth in an economy that most are struggling in.

You really are good with it.

oh, he may be the worst. Gotta cut him some slack. No job, no experience, but one hell of a Fox Pie Hole. Get a job dude.

All your responses is someone else did it so it is Ok. Don't you have ANY standards? Biden was wrong and should have been prosecuted, agree. So, why isn't Trump doing it?


Everything you posted is based on somebody else did it so, it is Ok for Trump. Actually, a sad commentary on you and MAGA. The guy next to us looted, so we can...

Just to illustrate how stupid this all is: Trump's stock trades in one quarter this year total up to a higher value than the last four President's net worth combined. Hell, throw Fauci's $15m in the pile with the other guys, and the comparison is still true.

Even if you buy in to the "both sides" crap, Trump is still orders of magnitude worse than anyone else.

I honestly believe this 2nd term is about retribution and profit. He is going to gut the Nation of treasure, prestige and alliances because he believes he was wronged. They are going to look back and be appalled at how much worse the US is for the next 100 years because of him and the grift.

I have no doubt that Warren Buffett is not butthurt to know that there is someone out there that has a net worth more than him.

Democrats could learn much from him.

Do you actually live in the real world? Most Americans are going under.Probably not your circles, but your servants. Trumps policies have made even Biden look good! Most of us did better under Biden, unbelievable as that seems.

There is no trickle down, the top 1% may be doing great, but it is ending there. Freat if you are a billionaire.

you are the one who does not live in the real world, sputtering shop-worn class warfare nonsense.

it's called "the business cycle." Markets fluctuate, expand & contract, wax & wane over time. And there are indicators for where the trends are going, up or down. Right now, nearly all of the indicators are pointing toward economic expansion.

Let's see what Warsh says today.

With the financialization of the economy, there's been too close a parallel between economic expansion and monetary expansion. Unless something changes for the better, we're going to learn an unpleasant lesson about that.

I would not be surprised if the "analyst" were a Lefty ideologue, maybe an outright Marxist. The good news is the truth will be decided by market forces.

I don't know enough about SpaceX to have any idea what it is worth. I do know it is 90 percent cheaper than the shuttle was and about half if what its other competitors are. That's pretty impressive.

I've read that the majority of space traffic today is done by SpaceX, including trips to the space station and the US government. If true, the company truly is valiable and has much potential.

If income and asset ownership are concentrated, "the economy" can grow while the median person's real wages barely move.

Really the problem is affordability of the essentials. Housing, healthcare, insurance and basics that everyone needs is too damn expensive.

This is decades in the making. Wages are crap and the effects are catastrophic:


Companies exploit how competitive the job market has become. Workers are underpaid relative to the value they create, overworked beyond what a single paycheck used to require, and now both parents have to work just to keep up, which means household responsibilities don't get easier, they get split across two exhausted people instead of one stretched one. Then they wonder why people are so stressed the hell out.

I've heard now people say "get a 2nd income stream". (Social media, side gig. Uber...)

Thats going to be the new norm. Not just 2 income households but 2 incomes per person per household.

You are playing your part to the end.


Economic expansion that DOES NOT help the majority of the Nation is useless. Great for you CEO types, horrible for the workers. I have learned, there is no "rising tide" or "trickle down", it is going to the Executive Class and stopping.

How many "Re-Orgs" you do this week getting rid of higher salaries from people that dedicated 15 years to the Company only to be Re-Orged into a lower position after 50? How many layoffs to get that Operational Efficiency Ratio higher each year. But those bonuses keep coming in for those with the blood on the slide rule. The business practices of the last 10 years are abhorrent. So don't give me that crap that this is good for America. It is good for the 1%, the average person will not see a dime and conditions will get worse.

Sad thing is watching them target people over 50 that have no time left to maneuver or make adjustments. Seen too many at 63 year olds with stellar performance records be targeted by HR. The out of the blue "complaint" after 30 years with no issues, the praise in the email as they are being re-orged to a lower position, and the layoffs.

Sorry, your economic lesson is misdirection as the class you are defending is draining the US.

Not surprised to see Whole Foods at the bottom of the list. I was surprised to see H-E-B edge out Walmart. The shopping experience at H-E-B is so much better than at a Walmart... so I would have assumed the prices were higher.



Not separating Sam's Club from Walmart is a mistake. Leaves out a major player.
