  1. I don't know why I would try, but maybe I can help you Leftists understand some things. If you were running a company, would you declare to all of your employees that they were underpaid and inherently worth more than you were paying them? Of course not, the resulting issues would be far too great to resolve and the company would go under. Now, consider what the idiot Democrats have told every American all at once...you're worth $15/hour, nearly double what the prior minimum wage was...to top it off, did they have a remote plan to manage the resulting chaos? Of course not. Unnecessary spending Bills...Arbitrary Minimum Wage Hikes...idiotic morons shutting down the economy for the Flu. This is the Democrate Economic platform, and it will/has resulted in horrific inflation and Fed emergency rate hikes and it will crash the Economy and ensure that everyone, PARTICULARLY those that the moronic Leftist/Democrats brag they are trying to help, the most... Such dumb people. This is how/why great societies and civilizations go away.
  2. Darn, can't help it, guess I'm just too nice...two helpful concepts for you to start understanding are GDP and ROE GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, is calculated by output (spending) from three sources: Consumers (C) + Business (B) and Government (G). The G used to be a much, much smaller component of that calculation than it is now. You don't have to be a rocketry scientist to realize that the government has really two funding sources: Taxes and Borrowing. Yes, they have started to collect a lot more taxes, but G has gone up much more than Taxes would support, so the government has done lots and LOTS of BORROWING. Remember this concept... Now, ROE stands for Return on Equity. It's formula is Asset Turnover * Leverage (net of tax benefit) * profit margin ROE can measure performance for a specific company or industry, but its concepts can be applied to an entire economy as well. Asset Turnover is a function of how frequently you "turn over" i.e. utilize the assets you've used your Equity/Debt to purchase...i.e. it's a measure of how the economy is performing, or like how many widgets your factory produces and sells in a year, like that Profit Margin is a measure of innovation and efficiency your company or economy has...how much extra you're able to charge & earn is a reflection of how innovative your products are and how well you run your company/economy. Leverage has become the big one...so when calculating ROE, if I have a profit margin of 10% and have Asset Turnover of 1.0, so far my ROE is 10%, right? If I boost Asset Turnover to 1.5 (hard to do, sometimes, particularly with a Biden in office), that ROE jumps to 15%, right? 10% * 1.5. But if I can lever up, boy I can really drive that business/economy. I can lever up 2x and make 10% really 20%, just like that (printing money). Said another way, our GDP (Assets/Asset Turnover function) was $20T pre-COVID...and our national debt was approaching that level (really about $18T or whatever. We have since printed ~$10-$12T in Govt Debt, lifting our Leverage to 1.5 from 1.0, and thus jumping our ROE from 10% to 15% in our model. BUT YOU SEE, this IS fake gains...they are not real returns based on expanding the business or improving our products...it's just borrowing money. It's Fake...
  3. geezus, such simpletons All he/they have done is cut checks with your money, nothing more. classic liberal/democrat action….create an economy where no one wants to make anything here because of your policies and tax structures….realize we’re screwed as a result….cut checks from my taxes to “solve” the problem and lure producers back here. So pathetic it happens because liberal voters are stupid but think they’re “smart” because they spent 4 years at college during the Obama Presidency every company that could reasonably re-domicile to avoid taxes did so to avoid their absurd taxes, but never mind we’re bringing them back with your money yay. morons
  4. Miller may be (I know) an actually transcendent player who makes everyone around him better. Certainly feels that way. Hope it continues. That's a spot where it's HARD to fulfill expectations, and he won't always, but wow
  5. He's a dynamic competitor respectful of the team he played for 7 months ago. Makes his current teammates even better
  6. At least Trump had a few good ideas, vs. this cabal that is (unwittingly) demolishing everything it touches
  7. What a moronic take...The Eco-Greens have walked European countries off a cliff, of their own volition. It sucks but it's their own fault. The only upside I see is the US may benefit from a Refugee crisis like the Irish Potato famine 200 years ago...I say that with zero joy just the obviousness of it all. American Leftists are going to destroy this country, Western civilization, and almost everything else probably.
  8. Actually, LOL right back. Of course it made the Unemployment rate go higher. That's the entire point. This may be above your depth, it is for most Leftists who don't know how the world actually works...but I'll help you here... We are about to head into a major Recession, which I hope will not become a Depression, because of the Biden Admin's outrageous and profligate spending. The Federal Reserve will have to continue raising rates, which will destroy economic activity fairly quickly (you can't raise IRs 300-400bps in a Levered system, it's just too dangerous, however Biden's disgusting Inflationary initiatives have forced their hand). The ONLY thing that would allow the Fed to stop lifting rates would be a higher Unemployment rate...but the problem is the Leftists' own policies have destroyed the work-force, so the Participation rate is down. This is inflationary too (Socialism). So, because there's nothing that can be done here, they announced that the Participation rate "jumped" 0.3 points in the month of AUGUST, which is utterly absurd and markets saw through it which is why they crashed again on Friday. This data series (Unemployment and Participation Rates) are basically 10%-informed figments of the Govt's imagination...the Survey Report is just fantasy (do you know anyone that's every had a BLS employee call or show up at their house? Of course not. The govt is lying to us, just like with COVID.
  9. you don't know how this works The Participation Rate did not actually go up 800,000, they simply moved the number to make unemployment look better so the Fed will have SOME room to avoid a Depression as they try to stave off Biden's Inflationary Spiral. You probably have no idea how they accumulate this information, it's just more gov't "survey" and "estimate/extrapolation" work (kind of like the Flu data pre-COVID).
  10. Yes, that's how this works. The Leftists who are uneducated don't want to understand it, but Facism/Totalitariniasm only happen from the Left. That's the path through history (Nazis, USSR, Italy, etc etc) They are not smart but they care more about what honest working people care about, until its too late for the honest working people. All Civilizations die, it's not a right, it's a process...and this is the end-result of the process. Think about it...what SUCCESSFUL person from the "Right" or "REPUBLICAN" establishment would bother to subject themselves to this Leftist Political media paradigm at this point? WHO would do that? Thankfully, there's a Florida Governor who might work. We'll see. But these are bad people
  11. Yep, by "raising" $200B in taxes off of the actual already-paying-taxes taxpayers which will never actually materialize. Such a joke our gov't, country and Left-wingers have become. Can't be a "Soulful Nation" if you're giving Free things to your supporters
  12. Well, good distinction. I think I have two points: 1) Laws no longer matter in the Leftist Regime/Era; 2) The Leftists are in control, so they are going to do pretty much whatever they want (Means To An End Party). Good point, there will be no over-turning this or any other Leftist spending pattern
  13. You are (historically properly) adhering to concepts and rules of law I think it's quite clear, those no longer matter anymore in the Leftist Era
  14. Correct, these are Smog-reduction propositions, with some improvement in efficiency but also likely destructive for the grid. Battery storage technologies are where investors should be looking here
  15. I'll help you out here...these politicians making these calls are not smart. Not only that, they are driven by an agenda, making them doubly dangerous. The most obvious example is the Global (east-to-west: Japan, China, Europe, United States, California) renewed Love Affair with Nuclear Energy. They (being the Global Leftist-Eco-Elitists) should NEVER have called for the retirement of existing Fission Reactors and essentially ruled out the construction of new ones. Those were catastrophic errors and over-reactions to what was an awful situation...but many, many more people will be negatively affected, including die, from these disastrous policy mistakes over the next few years based on those decisions. The US Infrastructure Bill...gimme a break. You guys fall hook-line-sinker for these Democrat "print-money policy bills" like your idols are actually doing something. It's really sad, but it propels the insanity. Here's an article from a typcial Left-wing news source, Bloomberg, that admits that the Gov't charging stations often don't work: The EV Charging Buildout Has a Problem: Many Stations Don’t Work - Bloomberg 10 years ago the Obama Admin canceled Space Flight, great idea...not. Now realizing how bad they've actually screwed Western Civilization with their Energy plans, the Biden Admin is trying to claim credit for Fusion, which IS the eventual solution but is a decade or two away. Trump is a pretty terrible person, but read up on what he told Germany about being hostage to Russian Nat Gas. I'll take a guy that makes jokes in poor taste, but doesn't also torpedo entire civlizations' futures based on Power/Energy
  16. You said 3-5 people. It's supposedly 2-3 people. I was just playing your game of "facts".
  17. Fine, but those aren't the facts either. So you're also not operating on the facts. Letting it all play out as it should.
  18. It's basically this... If the Communist Leftist Idealogue regime doesn't like you, they will come after you and take you down, no matter the attack vector it will happen. Its a symptom of the Means To An End Party It's basically the maturation and destiny of all successful Civilizations, they all die at some point. Rome was the most powerful Empire ever, and they were too strong to crush head-on, so their jealous enemies concocted more skillful methods to cajole the Empire to ruin itself. It's the same with COVID
  19. I mean, I don't like Trump, and didn't like him or his style in the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s or now...thank goodness he didn't buy the Bills! n fact it's unfortunate that it took a character like that had to come along with the right ideas, noone else would have bothered to go through all that to get elected (this is the modern Media strategy...make it absurdly painful for anyone with non-Leftist idealogy to want to do it). But this guy seems to be a nice guy who dared to challenge doctrine...that'll be it, they'll say FL people died due to COVID or somethng
  20. It will be interesting to see how they attempt to tear down what appears to me to be a very serious, accomplished, individual.
  21. Yeah, that's not how this works, but that IS how Lefitsts gin themselves up to justify their inane proscriptions
  22. If your argument is we should never have shut down the economy for the Flu, well I'm all ears.
  23. You are right. ACTUAL tax-payers will pay MUCH MORE for this idiocy. But again, Leftists have achieved the long-term goal of "nothing matters", so nothing matters
