[The Ugly One]

If you look at NVIDIA's stock value and the dates involved, you might come to the conclusion that its stock was overvalued due to the Biden administration's pork barrel spending in the first place. You can say that about a lot of stock. Maybe don't trust Keynesians?

John, I mean this as a friend: you were more fun when you were posting normally. You're not a good doomer troll. You don't have enough Badman in you to make it work. Deep down, you're a Goodman.

Nah, I'd love to blame Biden, but the real culprit is investor FOMO and technological illiteracy. Remember back when industry analysts were saying cloud was going to make home computing and on-premise enterprise servers obsolete? There are companies who lost billions and billions making the wrong bets on cloud.

Same thing is happening with AI. Everyone's terrified of missing out. Industry analysts are predicting multi-trillion dollar growth, total destruction of all legacy industry, eradication of whole categories of jobs, and saying stupid shit like, "A single DGX can replace an entire engineering team."

Everyone thinks if they don't invest in GPUs NOW NOW NOW NOW that they are going to DIE. Except it's been a couple years since DGX A100 dropped and set the market on fire, and most AI investments aren't actually paying off.

So you're just sperging because you took the advise of a celeb without any research? And keep whining nonsense because you are mad about it?

It's always the people that know the least that end up being the loudest.

Well, you also have Arizona, which grows a lot of vegetables, and Florida, plus varying amounts grown in other states. There's a reason you see more and more farmers' markets around the country. And don't forget potatoes, which are grown in many places throughout the country, not just Idaho and Maine.

You may find this useful.

There's forbidden knowledge they don't want us to know...

The administration has stopped financing new weapon sales to Ukraine and is considering freezing weapon shipments from the US according to the Wall Street Journal.

But how will the cartels get their weapons now?

Tired of winning yet?

This should be expected and everyone should brace for it. A lot of US GDP is based on deficit spending. The only way to address the deficit is to reduce government spending, or increase taxes, both of which will reduce GDP. Ideally it's offset by new investments and re-negotiated trade agreements, but this will take longer to come about. So short term you should expect a contraction in the economy, especially the public sector, and any of the businesses downstream of those public sector programs being closed. Things such as: people who make muppets for the Iraqi muppet show, LGBTQ teachers, Guatemalan dick-inverters, and many other extremely productive sectors of the economy.

Do you understand how the federal reserve system operates? Do you know what the prime rate is?

Core CPI doesn’t GO to zero, the prime rate indicates the minimum amount of inflation

Core CPI is cost of shit like heating and housing, my guy.

It's always the people that know the least that end up being the loudest.

Speaking of buying the dip, how's that TrumpCoin and MalaniaCoin going which were used to scam Americans for billions of dollars?

What cuts of quality of life would that be? Tropical fruits, coffee, seafood, and some out-of-season vegetables, sugar? Most if not all of those luxury purchases was produced in the states of America, where? Hawaii. Hawaii's industry was sugar and sugar byproducts as well as fruit and coffee. Unfortunately, they are too far to be economically viable (at least that is what they say), and instead turned to the closer Bermuda to import these commodities and South America for others. The US produces an excess and could easily become self sufficient if it was politically correct to do so. America is huge and has a varied amount of climates that other countries do not have, we could easily grow everything we want here. Unfortunately, we have green peace initiatives and bureaucracy that restricts this from happening.

Pretty concise article from the World Atlas.

Florida has cane sugar. People will juice it for you to drink in the Home Depot parking lot, at least before the purge.

I bought the dip last week when dipshit Jr. told me to and lost $400. There’s no point in buying a dip if it doesn’t go back up.

Stocks are gambling you fucking retard. Go do something productive to make money. Like selling hand crafted, premium American Cotton nooses to bankers.

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

Overpriced non-entity. $20/lb for Kona is a fucking crime.

@YHWH's Strongest Soldier
This is an example of exactly why I think you might be right in the short term. Imagine if the government actually invested in small business, just 1% of that aid to Ukraine could easily expand a small business so they don't have to charge you 20 bucks per pound. I'm sure there are plenty of examples of it, the American consumer deserves the high prices sometimes; for just being fuckin' retarded.

Mein nigger, the dilating was set to expand by 3% a month ago, now it is set to contract by 3%.

KYS I guess join the 41%, tranny.

And you are saying they are high because of Trump?

The only people that go for it never tasted actually good coffee.

I usually buy a pretty nice brazilian/mexican blend put together by a local near me. Not very acrid, still very coffee-y. Somebody mentioned Blue Mountain a few thousand pages ago, but I haven't had cause to buy it. What do you recommend as good coffee?

You need to diversify your bonds nigga

 

[Looseleaf Paper]

Stocks are gambling you fucking retard.

Just to be clear, Stocks are NOT gambling if you do certain things, like long term planning. Stocks ARE gambling when you plan on only holding them for a week and then selling because the son of someone you despise told you to.

 

[JosephStalin]

To my eternal shame, I like this Ethiopian yergicheffe shit that has unbelievable blueberry notes

Gotta admit, still don't know what people like so much about coffee. Smells good but the few times I tried coffee, nearly fifty years ago, it was unpalatable without a lot of sugar. Get my caffeine from cola instead.

The Atlanta Fed GDP outlook.

How often are they right?

Right, so how are you not going to see GENERALIZED inflation when inflation is built into the issuance of currency?

It’s concerning when it DOESN’T track with the prime rate.

 

[AllieKat]

USA does not produce all the necessary foodstuffs to feed its population without significant cuts to their quality of life. You produce immense amounts of certain agricultural products, but not all of them are suitable for human consumption. Sudden tariffs do not leave enough time for the US agricultural sector to adapt and answer the consumer demand.

Edit: To be clear, you are self sufficient in terms of food production by numbers, but there's only so much corn, soy and sugar beets which you can pump into people's veins before things go wrong.

Go back to the Hohol containment thread if you just want to reguritate orange man bad fallacies

 

[NSA Intern]

seriously this shit drives me up the wall so fucking much when a word processor doing the same shit it did thirty years ago now takes a gig of ram

Wirth's law is an adage on computer performance which states that software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware is becoming faster.

 

[Nuns with guns]

Mark my words: America will regret this. DON’T. MESS. WITH. CANADA!!
