  1. Per BEA, decrease in government spending and increased imports.
  2. ERCOT had something to do with this, until proven otherwise.
  3. Any new news, or just the slow slide of disappointment? Saw that they released some new results this week, but haven't dug into them.
  4. Appreciate the disclaimer. I don't think that is totally fair assessment and a bit of a strawman. But appreciate that that is what you perceive. I call the posters here clowns for a lot of (imo) well earned reasons. Just do a forum search on "clown" and look at the last pages of when I deployed it. In reviewing the first few pages of results, none correspond to yourdescription and most actually refer to calling the neocons in both the Biden and Trump administration clowns. The ones directed at other posters here is cause they were acting like clowns and didn't have anything to do with any sort of outrage equivalency assessment. I think that that assessment is influenced by projection. The politics board is a clown show and has been for some time. I mean maybe always was, but certainly accelerated in the late Obama, Trump, and Biden eras. A long time ago a from to time to time wise poster observed that the fundamental problem with the CR is that the discussion here devolves into strawman argumentation. He now wallows in it himself. Pretty emblematic imo. American policy wrt Israel? I have been beating that drum for over 20 years in this community. It's just now turned to 11 for you? I mean I guess that's a take. I'll try to do better though. I was watching a video this morning of a young girl in a gaza, maybe 14ish by appearance, squirting brain matter out her head and somewhat still conscious for a moment. I'll be sure to post more of those videos so we all know what keeps the juice running for the american defense base. I'll try to do a couple a day. I must admit, I do miss me some vampire matt miller at the podium though. If as on this thread, you want to talk about the execution of federal and many other search warrants. Shit, been there to. ICE ain't the real problem, it's just an example of the problem, ane one that creates greater outrage at this particular moment in this particular forum. That OK situation looks like a very very common one where the intended targets where not at the location and the police come in banging and treating everyone like shit. It's been happening every year for what, decades now? If it was a sign of the fascist overtake of this country, that boat sailed a long time ago. Qualified immunity is and long has been (just) one of the real problems, imo. Immigration broadly? Shit. Discussions that have been had numerous times here and positions laid out. We need a policy that allows for the streamlined and efficient processing and vetting of people that want to come to work in this country. I don't care if they are from Mexico or India or where ever. A lot of my thinking on the immigration issue, in particular recently, has been influenced recently by some of my colleagues and their own experiences. That whole system is fucked up, but I see the lengths that people have to go to play by the rules. And the sacrifices they have to make to do so. So my take on that one today, people need to play by the rules and the system needs major reform. I don't go into another country without following the rules, the people I work with don't, and I would hope that we could expect the same of others. If you are not playing by the rules, you should be sent home. I'd like that to be done with due process and some fucking modicum of compassion, but also understand that in the current environment we are in a pendulum swing. Disagree with this very much so. I never really took any major flack on these boards until I pretty consistently starting pointing some of the very absurd aspects of the Trump-Russia conspiracy theories that got wild traction here. Particularly the Steele Dossier absurdities (Dead On Ballz Accurate in the parlance of some posters here), and the totally inappropriate use of the unconstitutional American surveillance system to target politicians (thanks IG for that report, that was fun). That's really the root of most of it. Disco alluded to it in his post here or on the other thread.
  5. Sorry I guess for responding to the series of personal attacks. The Clay Jackson thing seems like a wrongful termination suit may be in order. The related badgeless officers story sounds a little suspect in his account, but I would like to see more details. Appears that they guy is claiming that they used electronic measures against him to disable his ring cameras from recording the encounter. If that is the case, that should be illegal, and they should be held accountable for that.
  6. That's the one a few posters here use to lob at BrothaHorn, right? Also seemed weird that that epithet, being the result of racially charged blackface minstrel show adaptations of the novel, was allowed here without pushback.
  7. When they pay wages. Slave labor contaminates their supply chains across a number of industries.
  8. I know its hard cause you guys aren't quite consistent about it, but I think homophobic references are one of the autoban offenses here. I don't like chugging cock, but some people do. And that is ok. You should be free to chug cock if you want.
  9. The most depressing part of this is that the posters here that are not actual lunatics just sit on the side lines silently, hands under their ass. Maybe a stray finger or two cause they are curious.
  10. You want to go grab a pint at jester king this week?
  11. Heaven forbid you the proper english formulation of behaviour.
  12. Are you ok man? I'm actually here for you man when you are ready for some help.
  13. What delusional shit are you responding to? Fucking broken brained posters here don't seem to understand how message boards work. Instead of actually responding to what individuals actually say yall just tilt against the delusional shit yall make up in your own minds.
  14. Reads like word salad. The market is fake news bro. Has been for a while now. Still don't think that 401k loans are a great idea generally speaking.
  15. I don't do recession models in my line of work. Call it a coin flip as far as I am concerned.
  16. This board is filled with a lot of very unstable individuals.
  17. How red is your neck? Have you ever been out of your parent's line of sight without a helmet on?
  18. Is the answer to these questions going to influence your decision as to whether you take out a 401k loan or not? There are people that spend a lot of time modeling these things. Those models say anywhere between 25-60% chance.
  19. How do you think that I am able to tolerate posters like you? I’ve seen some stuff man. You are an amateur psycho. Ingest more tweets clown.
  20. You have a weird internal delusional dialogue taking place man. I’ve seen less obvious situations at the state hospital.
  21. LOL. The rhetoric has gone plaid level.
  22. As result of a variety of factors I have a fleet car situation right now that includes a frontier v6 with 160k miles on it. Just redid the brakes and that thing is solid af and I think it may another 100k with minimal and regular maintenance. Sign of the cross.
  23. You should seek professional help wildcat. Seriously. Preferably someone that can rx meds for you. The signs are there man. This is not healthy behaviour.
  24. I do think that there are some scenarios that make sense. If you are paying ssomeone else interest and if you have a chunk of your 401k in cash and you have the right level of job security so to minimize the risk of having the note called, I suppose it could make sense.
