Election Night (or days, or weeks, or whatever) 2022

[RockyTop85]

Still not sure the democrats are safe in Arizona. Not sure why betting markets favor democrats in Nevada.

Apparently Nevada counts mail votes last or just had a lot left to count. No idea how it turns out, but that’s why it’s seen as a tossup despite current results.

I understand your disagreement.

There will be cycles up and down in all economic sectors. But the trend is going up and it will continue to do so. Especially when government money continues to be printed.

You will be starting receptionists in the $25 per hour range soon (a few years).

Captain D's down the road hiring folks at $15...

 

[FLVOL_79]

Apparently he turned out more democrats and independent voters than anyone in history. 81 million.

Trump needs to ride off into the sunset.

This.

 

[NorthDallas40]

This is essentially my point. The American economic system is predicated on constant inflation.

Agreed. And it’s not just the American system.

 

[Orangeburst]

Bringing it all back here will add even more to your consumer costs.

Or we spend trillions in military spending to counter a Global Power adversary. I will take my lumps now rather than later. But unfortunately with DC 5 decade Open China policy, we are behind the chains. Big Time. We already see the CCP influence in our political/corporate system.
Just like the US cutting oil to Imperial Japan, which frankly was fine by me.

 

[newyorkvol]

This.

Problem is that the majority want him around. Democrats and media need him as a whipping post and his ever-diminishing followers want him back in the White House. Put those two groups together and Trump remains center stage.

 

[Majors]

Killing Children! Please let that sink in!

3-1 Dem for Voters 18-30. That’s the demographic that salvaged the left.

With that $15/hour one might partake a meal for one hours work.
Inflation is the Biggest Issue. A Crisis. Most folks dont understand.

Now what is causing it..now it gets messy. Real messy.

 

[Orangeburst]

Agreed. And it’s not just the American system.

Isn't this a rather manipulative Ponzi scheme?

Almost 5 times where I started in '87.

In 2060, they will start at $50+

And a cup of Starbucks will cost $50 too

At some point, either there is no more money or it worthless.
I think it will only be at that point that the trillions wasted outside America will stop.

$25

I don't know.
How many people are willing to make less if things cost less? [Rhetorical]

Like ND40 said, deflation is bad. And stagflation is derided. Seems like the only flation we agree on is INflation.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Isn't this a rather manipulative Ponzi scheme?

I’m not sure about that. Do a quick Google on the impacts of a deflationary economy. Believe it or not that 0-2% target has some thought behind it. 1.02^10 = 1.22 or a 22% rise per decade. Conversely 0.98^10 = 0.82 or a 18% drop per decade. And horribly 1.07^10 = 1.97 or a doubling per decade. Nobody wants either of those last two

$25

Lol no McDonalds will be $25. Starbucks will be $50

Just trying to keep your old ass math mind active..nerd. I would have to spend 5 minutes looking for the exponential symbol, yet you type it out like nothing.

Let us not forget about afflation or conflation...those flations deserve consideration as well.

Trump will not be the nominee and he'll lose most, if not all of the primaries. Conservative voters are tired of his act and behavior.

Can't read flation without thinking of my homie Jimmy Carter

 

[tvolsfan]

Nevada probably going red.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It also adds more jobs and more competition = higher wages and more opportunity.

From your lips….

I thought you were against inflation and wanted lower prices?

Depends on how much he can make it look to the base like DeSantis is a moderate in sheep's clothing.
