    Mexico, do you mean that place where the Biden Crime Family goes to recruit criminals?

      Maybe.

      But ...Whether you like them or not you're hearing ideas from Trump. Maybe they aren't always practical or workable, but at least you're hearing ideas on how to move the economy.

      Heard anything from The Resident?

      Getting rid of student debt, ending racism, doing something or other with the Middle East involving unicorns.

      Any fucking idiot can talk bollocks non-stop. It's not a useful skill.

        So we'd all have lots more money, but we wouldn't be able to afford to buy anything

        That might be the case.

        (not defending Trump here, but...)

        If there's an extra $15,000 in your pocket, spending an additional $1200 a month to buy things might be OK.

        Sure, I'm sure he's done all the detailed calculations. I bet Trump is a whiz with Excel.

          Or if the increased prices amount to USD$2000/month. LOL

          @Jolly All Presidents always come up with these grand economic plans. You may or may not agree with some of them, but to say that PResident Trump is the only one doing this is not the case. Infrastructure bill is one example.

            It would be nice if we had economic plans that didn't sound as if they were made after people had smoked a fucking shit-ton of weed.

            Unless that's the plan. Because I could get with that. But to be honest I can't really see Don and Joe doing that kind of shit, what with both of them being such committed God-fearing types.

              Ultimately, the student loan stuff is probably unconstitutional. Biden has probably fomented more racism than he cured. And 🦄 don't exist.

                  No, but I know what spitballing is. Trump tends to do it out loud and sometimes in public. Sometimes, the ideas are goofy. Sometimes, they're not possible, legally or logistically. Sometimes, they're worth pursuing, but wind up in a dead end. Sometimes, he comes up with something, something novel or a twist on something established, that does lead to an effective end result.

                        There's a reason for that. Current flows from one battery terminal to the other one. It doesn't want to go anywhere else. The shark is safe from electrocution, which is probably the main concern.

                              Yeah, but where's the electricity trying to go? It's a battery. The electricity wants to flow from the positive terminal to the negative one. It doesn't flow to ground or to random bits of metal/flesh or anywhere else. There's salt water between the terminals. Why would it flow through somebody?

                                You place the fish between the voltage generated by the magneto from the phone and the return point, so the electricity wants to flow through the fish. If you stick your hand, foot or other between the poles of the battery, you're getting zapped too. But probably not if you swim in the water.

                                I was only joking

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

                                      Policymakers drawn to Trump’s tariff and tax ideas should go back to the drawing board. Otherwise, they might squelch the opportunity for fundamental tax reform by pursuing unprincipled, economically harmful, and nonsensical ideas.
