Aren't they a little old for you?


Do the actual kids in the wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy back and the demented Benjamin Buttons realize that there was a trade war for much of this year and a resolution isn't expected to result in 2025 trade levels or higher, given that we are past September and now October?


Do they realize we're smashing previous tariff numbers?
super excited. looking forward to the freedom checks promised here! Will help pay for my Egypt trip coming up. Maybe a few more camel rides, no balloon rides thank you. Retirement is great! Thanks trumpsters in advance for your sacrifices once again! Happy Halloween!

P.S. if some of the tariff money (or any tax money for that matter) can be directed to me (directly or indirectly)that would be super. An opportunity still on the table is some checks for the lobstermen hit by the tariffs.
That would provide only trickle down benefit to me but is low hanging fruit. Who doesn't support our lobstermen? Reminder: Christmas and my birthday are around the corner


Cutting income taxes and raising consumption taxes is a great thing for the rich. I appreciate the sacrifice.

Does Trump's DUMBERICA realize that tariffs are a TAX?

I guess not.

I guess not.

25 million < 26.8 million

Altrata Billionaire Census 2025. Chart: Sara Wise/Axios

"The U.S. has a third of the world's billionaires, but they hold 43% of global billionaire wealth, according to data firm Altrata's latest report.

China is a distant No. 2, with 321 billionaires accounting for 10% of the wealth.

The big picture: "Surging stock markets lifted the fortunes of many of the world's richest people in 2024, leaving a record billionaire class of 3,508 individuals with $13.4 trillion in collective wealth, up 10% from a year earlier," The Wall Street Journal reports."

Less fraud and waste is a win for America.

I'm sure that the interest rates on credit cards will go down, now that American consumers are flush with cash. Banks will be lending freely so that U.S. consumers can refinance their $1Trillion in credit card debt at much more reasonable rates.

And home equity loans will help all those recently-laid-off software engineers survive.

AmIright?

There's also been a long track record of Moderators here doing nothing other than protecting the accounts of posters who are Pro-Trump. Rather than suspend serial violators of the Terms of Service - - - worst case scenario these posters get their post deleted.

Nothing more.

I'm not sure if you could even locate Ukraine on a map five years ago, and anything that runs counter the WSJ or MSNBS editorials is going to be labeled as "Putin propaganda".

In the first year of the Ukraine war, I looked occasionally at the Furd board long thread on Ukraine. You guys would fit right in, zero debate, every post parroting the official version - Ukraine winning, Russians being slaughtered, gas station Russia about to collapse, NATO weapon system du jour the new "gamechanger" etc. At least on the Cal board you have many guys who are capable of some critical thought on this and other issues.
