Don't worry, every mutual fund will be loaded. DOGE paid off big for Elon, nobody left to check on what he is actually doing and where he is doing it.

Yup, the work around to Anti-Trust. Competition is a thing of the past... Just like prices are not coming down, they have us conditioned to believe $8 ketchup, $16 beer and $32 steak is normal.

You don't realize until you look at old pictures, my Dad had a gas station we have a picture of my brother in front of the Shell sign in 1979ish, $0.54 a gallon. THAT was during the 70's gas shortage.... Prices are never coming down. IF they would just come down to match wages, that would be enough.

Translation: nearly half of young voters are ignorantly of economics, spoiled brats, lazy bums, or some combination. Probably all of the above.

Its funny, we blame education. My daughter informed me it is more that between stufent debt, low wages, high cost of food and not being able to afford a house most of her generation dont see Socialism as worse. They actually see being able to live. Too much of discrepancy between haves and have nots.

Nope. Have it on good authority young people are just useless and lazy. 0 chance it has anything to do with their live experience and seeing the American dream get farther away despite doing everything they were told they needed to do for success.

It doesn't help that the current billionaire President is the literal avatar of selfish greed, and he's stacked his cabinet with similarly minded people.

Bet you don't realize that except for the Billionaire part you have described most Democrats in the Oval Office post-Carter.

"Post Carter" means Clinton, Obama, and Biden. Donald Trump made more income in 2025 alone than all three of those men's net worth combined (and Clinton's number includes Hilary as well). Well over 5 times more, actually.

Try reading what I wrote. Trump being richer does not mean Clinton, Obama and Biden were less greedy.

The known record is clear they were simply less successful, not more virtuous.

Trump was on the brink, he only recovered because he is calling the shots and his family is getting contracts. Look at Cyber, Drones, Land Development (Kushner is sole source and negotiating for the US!)...

Don't make it sound like Trump is doing this on a level playing field. He was so bad he had to go to reality TV. Government saved him.

Frankly, the obvious takeaway is that you need professional help, sir.

If you look at all that and come away that there is no fire with the smoke? Looks at Trump's history. Looks at the last 2 years and says we are all good. Who needs help? You are really a denialist. Won't believe any evidence and blames the messenger. You can get therapy for that you know.

Let's see go to a professional mental health practitioner and say you want someone treated for TDS and see who ends up on the couch...

People wonder why Piggy shows so much deference and respect to Putin is real simple. Putin and Russian bailed fat boy out during his last flirt with all out bankruptcy, not just one of his pitiful companies. Putin is into Trump for 100s of Millions. Thems the facts.

The Strait of Hormuz was open and not controlled by Iran before Trump's Iran War. Another self-inflicted wound by Trump.

Trump 1.0 vs Trump 2.0



Inflation has nearly wiped out all wage gains since January 2025.

That's how big of gamechanger the war in Iran has been on Americans' finances.

Since January 2025:
CPI Inflation has grown +5.4%
Wages (average hourly earnings) +5.5%

This is a very different picture from President Trump's first term when wages were up over 15%, well above about 8% inflation. It helps explain the frustration many households feel right now with the economy.
