I didn't need five. You don't need five. You only need one. Elections turn on perception.
Mostly agree. That just reinforces my thoughts/statements that it doesn't make sense to say that the sky is falling if Harris or Trump is elected. The sky won't fall.
Mentally, people may feel better if their preferred candidate wins (i.e. the cheerleader effect), but looking at overall measurable data, but in the "big picture" there is not a cliff that will happen to society.
Cliffs do not occur in a moment. There is always a road that leads to a cliff. You don't want somebody building the wrong road.
Like quadrupling the money supply in 2020? LOL

You mean like Biden running up the U.S. debt to equal the entire money supply of the world?

Exactly. Just reinforces my point. Neither side is the savior and neither side is the devil.
I will ask this question again. Come November, inflation is <3%, unemployment is ~4%, GPD growth is about 2.5 % etc. What are the ideal numbers and how will President Trump achieve them?

Do you think those numbers will be there?

Do you think those numbers will be there?
Yes I do.
Inflation data here. I don't see the US inflation going up in the next three months and will probably go down.
https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/
Unemployment here. I don't see that having much change either.
https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm
GDP growth here. Don't think the #3 quarter will be much different from #1 and #2 quarter of 2024

So, assuming that is the case, what are the ideal numbers in your mind and how will President Trump achieve them?

I don't think in terms of charts, to be honest. I think in terms of how I live and what I can afford.
Case in point... I was building pickups online yesterday. Not that I really need on, my old 2011 is running pretty good, but I thought I would check. Base F-150 XL, 2WD with a Coyote V8. A single cab is $4OK. A double cab is $46K.
That's about as spartan as they come. Go to a higher trim level and you're going to come in at $60K. Go to a 4WD King Ranch in a 3/4 ton diesel and you can tear up $100K by the time you pay tax.
But back to that single cab work truck...If you're making $25/hr and you need a new truck for your one-horse business, how do afford it and buy groceries?

So what can (or will) president Trump do to make the truck affordable?

Abso-fucking-lutley nothing. On the contary he’ll put tariffs on foreign sourced parts and make it more expensive.
But he resents the right people, so he’ll get 70MM votes.
-
What will Trump do?
First, he'll quit dangling the Green money in front of the automakers. Secondly, I think he is going to be aggressive in promoting domestic vehicle manufacturing over imports. Third, I believe he'll probably ease some of the ridiculous Fed standards for fleet fuel efficiency. Part of what makes pickups so expensive, are the unnecessary gadgets they are saddled with, such as twin turbos, AFM, Stop/Start, 10-speed automatics, GDI, etc.
BTW, Trump got over 74M votes in 2020. I think he'll top 80M in 2024.

Your post made me think Jolly. It is interesting that the majority of top US made vehicles are from "foreign car brands" (Honda, Lexus, etc).

Well, I bought one. It's just a regular KJV with just one slight difference is that Exodus 20:17 says, "Thou shalt commit adultery."

Are any of the pages stuck together?

Damn, thats a better joke than mine!

Better not tell that to his good buddy, Elon.

Actually, according to Trump, Elon purchased his support for EVs.

Both of those made me chuckle!

It's probably a Catholic Bible.

No way. The historic House of Orange is well known for its protestant beliefs. According to Wiki, it was founded by William the Silent. Mr. Trump is making up for that.

Yes, he’ll go down as Dickwad the Brash.
