    Copper doesn't like it when people criticise President Trump.

    Wow.

      It's so typical that when you punch someone in the face, they'll just whine about how much it hurt. They have no idea how predictable and tedious that whining is. It happens almost every time someone gets punched in the face.

      Then just throw him an elbow to the head and keep your eye on the play. Works for me.

        Better than Pete Rose, and still alive. (The rumor is that Mr. Trump got the ban lifted).

              And the Indians and Pakistanis that are suffering from radiation burns from the nuclear conflict they experienced should thank him too. VP Shillbilly and Copper. Both of them.

                  This jives with what I gleaned from a call with the CIO of Merrill about a week ago. They have access to all the BofA retail info which touches about a quarter of all consumers.

                  They said that the top 10% of earners’ spending is up 7% yoy while the bottom 90% have been retrenching.

                    No reason to be cautious, with all those factory jobs coming. I'd be spending like a drunken sailor. Like a drunken sailor who was about to get a sweet factory job.

                    Education is extremely important.

                      I’ll admit to being a little surprised. It’s not obvious why they should have been retrenching in Q1. The fear of tariff-related inflation and job losses is more of a future concern. You’d also expect higher income people to be more clued in on the risks than the common man.

                        It's unprecedented! It's historical!

                        https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/05/14/trump-tariffs-china-trade/

                        Since the inauguration on Jan. 20, Trump administration officials have announced new or revised tariff policies more than 50 times, according to a tally by The Washington Post. (A separate tally by Reed Smith, a law firm, has found about 55 such actions.) Trump has issued more than a dozen tariff-related executive orders, or about one per week ..:

                          Common men fear for the future and tighten belts right away; higher income people say let's buy more and stock up before tariffs get real?

                            Sure, but that assumes the common man and the higher income folks both have similar intuitions that tariffs are going to harm them economically in the immediate future.

                                      Yeah, cause margins don’t exist. Remember when the Republicans were yelling at Biden for blaming inflation on greedy Jewish grocers?
