Also want to say that, despite the same guy saying we were all "hoping" for things like the tariffs, many of us weren't. Because we all have to live in this economy and with the results of these decisions. Whether we voted for them or not.

I believe he also works in the auto industry, so this could have an adverse affect on him if this crushes the auto industry.

Thought I had while doing some landscaping earlier...

With all this data deleting going on, I could very well see the BLS suppressing the inevitable inflation data coming in the next few years.

But then liberals are unhappy, so, big win for him? Just spitballing on that one.

Yes, this is exactly what I was talking about with a friend last night. Prices for everything could double in the next month and B*S will cook the numbers to come out to 1%.

It’s weird to think of Michigan as a red state.  I guess we are in the eyes of our evil Canadian trade enemy and their hateful policies meant to harm us.

Wouldn't be surprised, but people don't need inflation data from BLS to know it's happening, they sense every time they buy, so people will know.

To this end, there were a few times during late 2023 I would talk about inflation subsiding (just going off BLS numbers) and people would dismiss it out of hand.

People go off their lived experiences, not government statistics. For better or worse.

Unelected Pres Musk is doing to the U-S what he did to Twitter. Meanwhile Elected Pres Felon is busy sounding like a crazy uncle as he obsesses about obtaining Canada.

If someone says that I will embrace them but I doubt they will. They will be pushing their shopping cart down a dirt road with all their possessions inside muttering things about Trans people and saying “if only they’d given us Greenland”.

This was in reference to a NYT piece interviewing someone in El Paso who said they regretted their vote (ie Leopards eating faces circumstances)

We have to stop thinking in generalities, these types of people are inevitably going to exist. As easy it is to go to vindictiveness, people need to act with grace and save their ire for the candidate and now POTUS and his cronies who are inflicting the damage

I've been avoiding this forum on purpose, as well as limiting my news intake, simply to help ensure my own well being.  This ****upery from Trump is next level.  Roughly 10 days in and it's shaping up to be such a monumental disaster.  The only thing I wonder is if the economy begins to tank, does he back out of everything and kick out Elon, or does he see this through.

I think as long as he's making money or that there are people gushing over him, he'll see it through. Unless of course Elon gives him the boot and completes a coup somehow. 

As for the others in this admin? Judging from his first term, we could probably have a running bet as to how long each member will end up lasting.

He’ll be on the back 9 at Bedminster or Mar-a-lago.
