It’s the start of month 4 of a 4 year term. You’re free to evaluate everything today - it’s a great idea. I'll let you know if I agree or disagree with any of the policies - nothing at the moment has me as fake upset as the TDS folks. I’ll give you a better evaluation of it all by January of 2028. As of now, I understand why he’s doing what he’s doing. Even tho Wall Street doesn’t like it and the dead legacy media wants to present every parade of horrible like federal employees losing their jobs and cuts to federal spending as tho it’s an unmitigated disaster. Yea I’m not listening to the people that told me to stay 6 feet apart indefinitely. Your business be dammed.

“In 1998, the American population under 40 held 13.1% of the nation’s total wealth. Today, those under 40 hold less then 6%.” But the stock market!!!! Remember kids. The crazy orange man isn’t working for his old friends the way the Uniparty operated circa 1990-2024. Welcome to the revolution. They tend to be messy. The boomers may not be thrilled but they along with the Branch Covidians are why you can’t afford a home. Or car.

This is what we’ve lost….. Cue the moronic - “it’s a supply issue!” takes.

Days like today, I ask myself “why did Boomers vote for Biden?” I then reference this graphic. And it makes sense why my friends under 35 couldn’t care less about the stock market and tariffs. They can’t buy a home. My stock market!!

Sure folks. Trust the people that played Weekend at Bernie’s for 4 years and told you inflation wasn’t real.

And?

Which one?

Maybe we should print another trillion or 7 and increase taxes. Buckle up. Buy the dip. And fyi, you “destroyed” the economy in 2020.

With the 33rd pick, the New York Giants select, Donovan Ezeiruaku EDGE Boston College. We think we get great value here and a potential stud to put on the other side of Thibodeaux. Giving us a pretty darn good front that includes Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, and Chauncey Golston. The Titans and @Virgil are on the clock.

Where are the blue state Ds lining up to cut taxes and deregulate their states. Oppose Trump Tariffs to their logical conclusion. Don’t your taxes, minimum wage requirements, and regulations increase our costs? Or is this just all faux outrage - not tied to any consistent view of free trade. Of which the U.S. has been taken advantage of for years. Orange man bad so tariff bad!

Did trade end today?

“I lost my business during Covid. Been looking for work since.” —-Story shared by NOT ONE commie here ever

I think you are far more likely to hit on a legit CB 2 or better after round 3 than a legit starting DT. That said - if say 5 DTs are off the board and we think a CB 1/2 or even WR 1/2 is there that we feel confident is a starter I wouldn’t hate it. Trade up and round 2 and get a DT might be necessary tho. Maybe get like the DT 7 or 8 hope he hits. Biggins are going to go in this draft.

California’s population has increased (thanks to illegal immigration) from 33 million in 2000 to 39 million. Texas population in 2000 was 20 million. It is now 31 million. Largely driven by immigration - from California.

Good thread

For me - When corporate America went woke - but more then that - in conjunction with the Federal Government they obeyed their every Covid command and stood to come out the winners of the shamdemic. All the wealth during Covid went to them. Not one Democrat gave a ***t because they went woke in the process. California got to where it is as a Red State. It’s been full blue state and federal since the late 1990s. Ask this question in another 10 years.

All of those things happen - in Red States. And we agree. None of that has changed.

I mean if it’s that easy to do Biden wouldn’t have let them skyrocket the last 4 years. We will see.

My God how far you guys have fallen. Complete and total realignment : From The Nation in 2004: Toward a Progressive View on Outsourcing When Gregory Mankiw, the head of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, remarked on February 9 that outsourcing “is probably a plus for the economy in the long run,” he added heat to a debate that has been growing in ferocity as American job losses have mounted and as trade policy has developed into a key issue in the Democratic presidential primaries. In an effort to help develop a progressive position on outsourcing–one that reflects a concern about the well-being of American workers and those in the countries to which many US jobs have fled–we have solicited three views on the subject. We invite readers to respond. –The Editors “Don’t worry; they’ll get better jobs in the service sector.” This used to be the mantra of free-trade supporters when confronted with the shift of auto or apparel jobs to Mexico or China. That line doesn’t work anymore, since service jobs, including high-skill computer programming, financial analysis and X-ray reading, are going overseas as well. Global outsourcing of service jobs is one of the most disturbing manifestations of the US government’s corporate-friendly approach to globalization and requires a fundamental reorientation of policy that will aid workers at home and abroad. Democrats have rightly seized on the issue. They are touting an array of anti-outsourcing proposals, mostly focusing on national measures, such as elimination of taxpayer subsidies. For example, John Kerry advocates banning foreign outsourcing of state and federal government contract work and would also eliminate tax breaks for firms that outsource, while giving tax credits to those that do not. …..But the comments of the Bush Administration’s chief economist were still infuriating. They oversimplified trade theory, for one thing. But more disturbing, they were issued by a member of an Administration that is presiding over a jobless recovery and showing only insensitivity to the considerable pain of massive job dislocation and slow wage growth that the theory itself predicts. Most important, the remarks, and most of the reaction to them, overlook the possibility that something new is occurring in the age of both the Internet and the rapidly growing low-wage economies in Asia and the Far East. For evidence, take the current recovery. Job growth may yet arrive, but by historical standards, a million or two new jobs at least should already have been created. Manufacturing jobs in particular, the easiest to export, are being lost by the millions and are now down to a level first reached in 1958. Weak labor markets are showing up in poor wage growth. Josh Bivens of the Economic Policy Institute points out that labor compensation has gained less in the current economic recovery than in any other in the post-World War II period. The growth of Gross Domestic Product is flowing largely into profits. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/toward-progressive-view-outsourcing/tnamp/
