The Economy

[kickoff-time]

Worst two Dow Jones days have been in the last two weeks. Unfortunately, I think this is going to be like COVID-19. Instead of more cases and more deaths each day it will be how far the stock markets fell that day. All because of what exactly besides a buffoon's ego?

I was telling my friend who was let go by USDA that in some ways (maybe many ways) the path this administration is taking is going to be as bad as the pandemic.

Also, I don't have a big problem with Trump golfing. He seems to do less damage that way.

It doesn't matter. When he comes back in to the office they'll give him another big stack of ship to sign.

Left his cart in the middle of the parking lot.

(Something I believe should be a capital offense.)

Don't worry, the administration has a plan. They're gonna lie. Sec. of Commerce says they're going to take government spending out of the GDP calculations to hide the impact of Musk's cuts. How they plan to compensate for the reduced spending of the newly unemployed and bankrupt contractors was not revealed, but I'm sure they'll think of something. Real easy for the economy to function without accurate data, let alone with falsified data.

My understanding is they are not categorizing any federal employees terminated by the DOGEship purge as "unemployed," because ... ship, I don't know?? I guess because they consider government jobs so insignificant and useless that they shouldn't count anyway -- and also plan to contest/deny unemployment claims by these employees, especially in red-controlled states.

Did Trump really announce great plans for crypto, named those particulars cryptos he thinks should be US economy, and one hour later, what rush?

I'm sure he has concepts of great plans for crypto. Fantastic plans. Unbelievable plans.

One of his store's carts actually had four wheels that rolled smoothly. A grocery store no-no.

IKEA has solved the issue with its casters that turn 360 degrees on its carts. Everyone else refuses to invest in that solution.

The VIX is flying and the markets are crashing.
