The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I honestly do think they're starting to try...
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

What have you noticed? Firing Stelter was a good step.

Reassigning Acosta, also. There are circulating rumors that Acosta and Lemon may be the next two big heads to roll.
There are a lot of stories like this one floating around...

We had a meeting with a number of big European customers last week, and the consensus from their management was that overall the US is likely to do a lot better than they will.
Spin that how you will, but there are worse places to be right now.
How can that be? I thought President Biden controlled the worlds economy. LOL

No, but he has quite an effect upon the U.S. economy.

No, but he has quite an effect upon the U.S. economy.
And as I pointed out, the prevailing opinion seemed to be that the US is likely to do a lot better in the oncoming crisis than most, if not all, of Europe.
Despite Biden, or because of him, depending on which particular flavour of Koolaid you prefer.

Despite Biden.
Think where we would be at, if we had opened the economy up sooner (example, Florida and Texas) and spent a little less money.

There's a global problem with inflation, supply chain and other issues most likely caused by the pandemic and Russia's imperialist behaviour.
Could the US President impact this? Obviously to some extent, but not that much if we're honest.
And I'll say it again, the US is in better shape than Europe right now.

I agree. Look back to March 2020. The reason President Trump lost the election was largely(?) because of his (perceived) response to COVID.
Would the US have been in the same position in Dec 2020 if a Democrat would have been in office all of 2020? I think so.
To hear democrats say it, it was all Presdient Trump's fault.
To hear republics say it, there was nothing he could have done, etc.Again, it basically comes down to the fact that people are biased and move the narrative to make their guy look good (or at least less bad). The other side does the opposite.
-
We've already spoken at length about this.
I'm sorry, but you're just flat-ass wrong. Anybody who follows markets, knows that sentiment plays a part in the movement of money.
The President has the biggest megaphone in the largest economy on the planet. He can and does, move the economic needle by his actions and his words. That's true, no matter what party he represents. One can argue how much effect he has, but he does have an effect.
To think otherwise is naive, stupid, or both.
-
It's a fine observation that people are biased politically and tend to see what they want to see. It is an unfortunate leap into disrespectful nonsense to go from there, to a relentless assumption that all opinions having to do with politics are vacuous tribal bias, based on nothing.
Education is extremely important.

Disrespectful nonsense is what the people in HR refer to as one of my core skills.
While you're busy saving the world from leftist pop culture, here I am, recklessly engaging in disrespectful nonsense!

Iām happy to take conversations on a case by case basis. I think you will find that when I use ideas or words that trigger you, I am using them in a context beyond just using a hammer to treat every issue as a nail.
