Why can't he do that without notes? #mental decline
Every time I see you post on this thread, (love you on the other threads btw !) it’s a shot at trump. Geez I know some people don’t really like the guy but he seems to be in your head, rent free.

I wouldn't give to rats arses about trump except he's running for president again and everything he says and does remains relevant. His attachment to project 2025 and other things require discussion about trump

WOW, Harris has made a stunning announcement. She and her VP pick are going to chat together tomorrow. Thats like Stalin and Mao having a fun chat on who murdered the most people. Trump and Vance should go on at the same time and chat with each other in a parody of the 2 commies chatting.
90 minutes of Trump and questions. It was great. Great questions and super answers. God bless this man. God bless this country.

I’ve been slowly reading project 2025, I want my opinion of it to be grounded in fact and not what I am told about it. The last section I read was about public media, I wasn’t entirely against that. I was somewhat against it though, I think funding PBS should continue. The documentaries and educational programming I watched on their growing up was impactful and crucial to my development. I watched NOVA documentaries about space, evening programs about stocks and the business world, cartoons, travel documentaries. Being 11 years old and understanding how stocks worked, being familiar with other cultures etc. I mean it gave me a huge advantage over my peers who grew up watching mindless but entertaining cable television shows . Project 2025 proposes cutting funding to both PBS , NPR, and our foreign propaganda radio/tv stations which I didn’t know even existed.
Some of the other stuff I have read is abhorrent though, especially foreign policy

Great at the beginning but it went on too long.

Unfortunately, usually when there's a tax increase it takes a lot longer than 4 years to take it back.
Communist price controls that Kommiela proposes never ever work. Look at history and where this has been done. Never ever ever works well for folks like us.
If Trump can win at least 2 possibly 3 of the 5 shutdown shenanigan states fro 2020 he wins hands down.
there’s a difference between supporting trump because folks beliefs on our country and the current world lines up with trump, (me included I support most of his views) and flat out Hating someone and posting how much you hate him everyday and because he’s orange
Also pm me I need to talk to you about my health dawg, since your in that field

Current inflation is driven by corporation not government policy.....how are record profits possible if the cost of everything has gone up? Why are the prices of these goods higher....is it that the raw material/overhead prices are higher so they pass that on to us to maintain their margins for profit? However if that is the case how are companies making record high profit margins in this economic landscape....
‘Greedflation’ caused more than half of last year’s inflation surge, study finds, as corporate profits remain at all-time highs
Groundwork Collective crunched Commerce Department data to find shocking greedflation results. But there’s evidence of it in a lot more places.
Corporate profits drove 53% of inflation during the second and third quarters of 2023 and more than one-third since the start of the pandemic, the report found, analyzing Commerce Department data. That’s a massive jump from the four decades prior to the pandemic, when profits drove just 11% of price growth.
“Businesses were really, really quick, when input costs went up, to pass that on to consumers. [But] had they only passed on those increases, inflation would have been maybe one to three points lower,” Liz Pancotti, a strategic advisor at Groundwork and one of the report’s authors, told Fortune.
How is this possible given the high inflation.....again if prices went up due to supply constraints and higher prices for raw materials how did the companies manage to also double their profit margins? The answer is they raised prices higher than they had to because they could "blame" inflation. It really is that simple....and they are still doing it now.
God help us.

Make giant real estate companies foot the bill and it'll pay for itself but I don't see a way homes can drop in price for what they're worth without some hairbrain idea. I don't fully agree with it but housing needs to come down in price. It's overpriced.
