I’d kinda like our economy to do well, and if the stock market crashes…well, I mean, it’s kinda obvious.

Nothing you said has anything to do with why taxing unrealized capital gains makes any sense. It’s a really nice word salad, but completely irrelevant.

I don’t see how anybody can support a tax on unrealized capital gains. Unless the goal is to severely reduce the stock market.

This is very minor in the grand scheme, but my industry saw something similar. We have multi year contracts, so it’s a little different. Regardless, few years ago our inputs doubled in some places, up 50% in others. Couldn’t raise our contract price for two years. Then we adjusted, got our...

I’m shocked that the Harris campaign hasn’t given specifics yet. ;) I mostly laugh at this because the average voter doesn’t care about specifics. They want to hear what makes them feel good. And this is absolutely on both sides. I try not to care too much. We’re on a downhill side that...

Like I said, I copied it.

Perhaps you just missed it, but I have already posted on how his triggers were very harmful to our economy and agriculture particularly. His comment is beyond stupid

Regarding price gouging and some misconceptions, I saw this online and copied it to post here. $47.61 for paper towels and TP at Target today. Absolutely insane example of corporate greed and price gouging. In fact, it made me so angry, I decided to do some analysis. Many prices have...

I’m not a very frequent poster, but for sure several months.

I’ve seen numerous posts on grocery stores, and others, making record breaking profits. I’d like to expound on that, just a touch. For simplicity sake, we’re going to use 5% as our profit margin. So let’s say we make $50,000 on $1,000,000 worth of sales. That’s a 5% margin. Next year the...

Frequently on my phone (iOS) on Chrome the page will refresh and I lose everything I’ve written into the quick reply box. Rather annoying.

https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/regional-economist/2022/mar/why-price-controls-should-stay-history-books Informative article on price control. Anyways, I’d love to hear the success stories of price control long term. I’m sure that since this is so good, you guys can find a lot.

This site is hell on mobile. What the ****?!

They are illegal immigrants. They are here illegally. They are immigrants. It is the most accurate and factual term for what they are. It’s not derogatory, it’s just accurate. It’s not like you or I can just move to Australia and live there without going through their processes. I’ve spoken...

I’ll put it this way Fish. If Trump had said that, half this board including Thriller would be in hysterics.

Saying that they shouldn’t leave because they’re cheap labor is racist.

Are we really going to ignore that Thriller called illegal immigrants cheap labor? And used that as a reason for why they shouldn’t be deported? And nobody else thinks that’s remotely racist?

Do you not remember what you even posted an hour ago?

So just to clarify, I was using fake news sites, but you can use the new republic? Because that isn’t biased, at all. Lol. Honestly, it doesn’t matter what Trump says here. He can disavow it. We can factually look at how his current and prior policies don’t line up with Project 2025 at all...

Not quite, since several policy decisions led to it. But you know that.
