About the Economy Right Now

The U.S. economy is in the middle of an awkward transition. Like a groggy bear roused from hibernation, the country is no longer dormant due to the pandemic but isn’t quite back in full form either. Millions remain unemployed, businesses are having trouble hiring, workers are still avoiding the office, and shortages of everything from lumber to computer chips have helped push up consumer prices.  CORRECTION*

Comments:

Concerned about the economy under Bidenomics? This leftist rag provides a rose-colored view. Good times are just around the corner, don't you know.

I like the optimism, but he refers to the "Biden boom" and quotes Paul Krugman as an authoritative source. Accordingly I'll choose to continue to be concerned.

If Krugman is predicting a good economy, you had better prepare for a recession. That idiot is never right.

The only thing booming is debt. Now higher that after we emerged from WWII. And the left is not done. Only 6 months into this administration. The other thing booming is money printing. Inflation is not behind us, it is in front of us, and is not temporary. Indoor eating restaurants are not recovering. Half the economy is government debt. This is a shoddy foundation to walk across.

They certainly leave out a lot. The price of building materials may be leveling off or declining a bit, but those costs are still significantly higher than just 6 months ago. It's like saying - good news - your blood pressure has leveled off at 210 over 125.

A few thoughts. The ONLY reason that the US economy isn't in a complete shambles is due to the strength of the economy pre-covid. Had the shut downs lasted 2 weeks instead of a year, the economy would have picked right back up and possibly we wouldn't have lost a third of the nations small businesses. That said, when the non-eviction/foreclosure edicts lapse, I believe that the real-estate market is going to crash, ala 2008. The number of evictions and foreclosures will be epic. The commercial real-estate market is already in the crapper. Businesses discovered that they didn't need all of that office space, and that trend will continue. The enhanced unemployment has led to ever increasing labor costs, labor shortages, material and product shortages and ever increasing inflation. Runaway government spending and near zero interest rates are further exacerbating the problem. Then.......there will be bankruptcies galore. Plus an administration hell-bent on destroying the fossil fuel industry, admitting more illegal immigrants that will take those minimum wage jobs, ever increasing regulations that with strangle start up and existing small to mid sized businesses. Buckle up folks...................really really bad things are coming. Only libtards are incapable of seeing that freight train barreling down the tracks.

Pay no attention to that inflation behind the curtain, we are the great and powerful Salon, who couldn't find their butt with a search warrent, a .45 and their own two hands. The Worst of Inflation Might Already Be Behind Us - yeah dude I'm not so sure about that, didn't gas just have a huge increase today? That cost isn't just to drivers when energy prices go up all prices on all good go up. have you tried to buy beef lately? You need a home equity line.

Try spending every dime you have in the bank and charge on your credit cards up to the max, then ask for credit increases, then spend it, and then claim you are on the road to financial recovery. Your wife will divorce you and your kids will hate you.

“Happy days are here again”…not. Salon can spin this like a top but sane people can see the Carter years are here again and getting worse. We ain’t seen nothing yet. Whatever you have to do, cut back and get out of debt. Watch the feds on your IRA/401k. They have already talked about taking 6% of your savings as a “one time” assessment to help out their drunken sailor spending. Actually, that’s a slur on drunken sailors. At least the sailors are p***ing away there own money.

Why Trump Is So Desperate to Stay in White House 41 replies
Posted by rememberwhen 12/24/2020 12:57:22 PM Post Reply
There is a reason Donald Trump seems so desperate to hang on to his position as president of the United States. Over the weekend he reportedly talked with attorney Sidney Powell and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn about trying to impose martial law in states he lost in order to hold new elections in the hopes that he could remain president. (Fortunately, the U.S. Army issued a statement publicly challenging the commander-in-chief.) The reason for Trump’s seemingly erratic behavior is obvious, at least to us: Donald Trump knows that he may be arrested not long after Joe Biden is sworn in at about noon on Jan. 20, 2021.

Vice President Kamala Harris is facing White House sabotage as the establishment media lay out Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg’s path to the presidency. With Harris’s history of “mistreatment of employees and dissent” before entering the White House, the establishment media have begun reporting on the infighting and “sabotage” impacting the office of the vice president. “It’s a whisper campaign designed to sabotage her,” Biden’s senior adviser Cedric Richmond said, admitting Friday to the Hill the infighting is real.

The congresswoman’s comments followed the announcement that U.S. champion Sha’Carri Richardson will not be running in the 100-meter race after she tested positive for THC, a chemical found in marijuana, at the Olympic trials – voiding her first-place results.

Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry's history of offensive tweets has been uncovered after she snubbed the American national anthem during trials last weekend. Berry, 32, made a variety of tasteless jokes and observations in messages dating back up to ten years, but which are still visible on her account. The athlete - who insisted that the National Anthem is racist - posted tweets mocking about Chinese, Mexican and white people. Posts also include ill-judged jokes about rape, suggestions she would stomp on a child, as well as using the word 'retarded', widely seen as being offensive and disrespectful.

"I'm generally the brunt of every joke in my household," Obama said of life with wife Michelle and the couple's two adult daughters, in a Thursday interview on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman's Spotify podcast, "Armchair Expert." "Michelle, she's the top dog because they're scared of her," he quipped of the former first lady and his daughters, Malia, 22, and Sasha, 20.

The U.S. Supreme Court announced Friday it would not take up a case over LGBT rights and religious liberty when it comes to same-sex weddings in a dispute brought by a florist. The high court declined to hear Barronelle Stutzman’s case after she lost at the Washington Supreme Court when the state attorney general sued her for not providing flowers from her flower shop, Arlene’s Flowers, for a same-sex wedding. The American Civil Liberties Union also filed a lawsuit against the florist on behalf of the couple. Washington’s highest court concluded she could be forced to participate in the event despite her First Amendment claim

The White House dove into damage control this week after reports of dysfunction and infighting in Vice President Kamala Harris' office, with the administration trying to stop a drama-filled narrative from taking hold, according to five people who spoke to CNN about the dynamics within Harris' office. Two people close to Harris' team said some individuals inside the vice president's office are frustrated with what they see as a dysfunctional operation that has been at times waylaid by internal conflict. Some of that ire is directed squarely at Harris' chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, those people said. Another source close

A former New York administrative judge resigned and apologized Friday over a Halloween costume he wore in 1988 of “a well-known public figure of color,” according to a press release. Former administrative judge Craig Doran said he resigned as administrative judge for the Rochester region when a photo from a Halloween party reportedly was circulated. The statement didn’t say who Doran dressed up as. “I did not comprehend at the time the hurtful nature of my actions,” Doran said in a statement. “I know now that an act of this nature is considered to be racist.
