If only we could put aside politics and talk of derangement ... if only politicians would stop talking about who they think are deranged.

How dark does one have to be to post this response to my post - A post that spoke about how important family is and my personal suggestion that a board member should do everything possible - putting aside any/all politics - to find the space that would allow the entire family to be together for the holiday season.

in my opinion, pretty freaking dark.

It’s indeed dark of people to point out what a politician has said.

The politician and his words, however, should escape scrutiny.

It's funny and pathetic how ceeboo dramatically collapses on his fainting couch over the innocuous words written here, but has no problem with the constant stream of bile coming from the GOP. It's like he's got his nose buried in one of Trump's full diapers and he's complaining about the smell of a small turd on the far corner of his yard.

Impossible to take him seriously.

Backup reason # 3.14159 for why I look forward to when Trump has to communicate through collect phone calls.

His circle. (Advisors, cabinet members, diet Coke holders.)

Since finding someone who worked for him who isn't corrupt, incompetent, unqualified or in jail, or someone who worked for him, not on that list and still supports him is impossible, I will Google who isn't/is and get back to you...

Perhaps you can help drag Ceeboo away from those soiled diapers and get some fresh air. If he finds his way back, at least you know that you helped.

Perhaps if one offered some Money. Cents insensitively sent for incentive for a sense of scents sense?

This is why inflation happened:

Tl;dc - Mark Cuban explains that in 2020 as the demand for oil and gas plummeted Russia and Saudi Arabia got into a price war. The oil companies convinced Trump to interface with the Saudis and Russians to cut production to inflate the price of oil. Inflation then pegged to the gradual increase in oil prices, as that underscores the cost of everything.

I’d add Trump also made money too cheap by bullying the fed into essentially giving the dollar away for his term - he overheated it. Basically, Trump is a massive damned idiot supported by massive damned idiots and wealthy manipulators.

I think Trump did the right thing in the first case. Remember the context — the drop in demand for oil has been so extreme that the price of oil went negative. US oil producers could easily have been run completely out of business in a short time. Our land production needs higher prices to be profitable.

The inflation spike was worldwide and primarily due to a combination of a few things: pent up demand while people saved more and spent less during the pandemic, continued disruptions in world wide supply chains, restricted supply from the Ukraine war, and short-term price gouging.

The post housing collapse recovery was steady, but had to be nursed along by crazy low interest rates. It was surprising that inflation didn’t show up earlier.

No US President could prevent the international spike that happened. The US economy did better than most in recovering from the spike without sending unemployment through the roof.

That’s not to say that the Trump tax cuts weren’t inflationary or that his pre-election pressure on the Fed wasn’t either. But I think it’s hard to single those out two things as being more significant the the other causes at work.

On a different note, here’s what JD Vance thinks of Trump:

What are your thoughts on Trump overheating the economy through prolonged access to cheap money?

Here’s a chart of the federal funds rate over time. https://www.macrotrends.net/2015/fed-fu ... ical-chart You can see that, right after the crisis of 2008, the Fed held that rate close to zero for years, which helped create the steady recovery through the Obama presidency until the pandemic. In the few years before the pandemic, the Fed began to raise the rate to avoid overheating the economy. With the pandemic, the Fed slammed the rate back down to try and avoid a recession. My recollection is that Trump tried to pressure the fed during 2020 after the Fed had cut rates for the third time because he wanted a bigger cut. Given where the rates already were, that was more theater rather than anything else.

The president can use the bully pulpit to pressure the fed, but the fed determines the federal funds rate, I.e., the cost of money.
