Rates need to be increased not lowered. Printing endless cheap or even free money for two decades is why we're in this mess.
It can be increased AFTER the government refinances it's own loans.

I am increasingly suspecting that if the bankers and financiers that were profiting from the hollowing out of the US can't have their slow, managed decline, they will deliberately take measures to crash the economy with no survivors to punish the plebs for getting uppity.
Yes. They would rather burn it down than let anyone else have it. They ABSOLUTELY will intentionally tank the economy if Trump continues to take things away from them, especially since they could do so and it would reset the 2008 crash (which they're at fault for but have delayed for nearly 20 years by money printing) and it would be immediately pinned on Trump.
 
I sure hope RFK bans red 40, I took some generic tylenol at lunch and it had a bright red 40 coating. Now I'm all drunk feeling this shit is the worst lol
Dang, must have been red 40 in those weed gummies and those beers that got me, too!
Curse you, chemical food dyes!
 
If I have to see one more fucking normalfag take on tariffs I am going to kill and eat someone.

EDIT: holy shit, this is the Washington post? And they make fucking opinion piece tiktoks? They should have been banned by trump yesterday.
Someone made a reference to a phrase ("short and sweet like the old woman's dance") to me and I looked it up—it was from Lincoln's first speech for political office in the Illinois legislature. Here's the entirety of his speech:

Fellow-Citizens: I presume you all know who I am. I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by many friends to become a candidate for the Legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance. I am in favor of a national bank. I am in favor of the internal improvement system, and a high protective tariff. These are my sentiments and political principles. If elected, I shall be thankful; if not it will be all the same.

Literally Abraham Lincoln—a man whom the left and our political and academic institutions fellate continuously—began his political career with the policy that he favors a high protective tariff. One third of his entire platform is a strong tariff. And now, we have those same institutions pretending that anyone mentioning tariffs as an economic and political strategy is an evil idiot.

You don't hate these people enough.
 
The vodka may have some bearing on my current state...

My wife is not affected by red 40, but our son sure got the gene from me because he goes NUTS if he has red 40 lol
PSA: Tylenol with alcohol can cause liver damage and ibuprofen with alcohol can cause a stomach bleed. Be careful and stay safe out there, folks.

yeah seriously don't fuck with painkillers and booze, and probably stay the fuck away from tylenol in general
Can somebody post that picture of NASA employees where the black dude is the only one working and that black dude being later removed from that same picture. Addtionally, let it be reminded that NASA employed e-girl influencers to shill for DEI and climate change. American tax dollars went to paying NASA e-girl influencers.
they should put a big tiddy camwhore on the ISS. It's interesting enough watching normal hair and jewelry floating in zero g
 
ibuprofen with alcohol can cause a stomach bleed
An alcoholic I know absolutely demolished his GI tract drinking and taking ibuprofen. Bleeding so much he passes out and has to get whole blood infusions. Repeat for long enough and now they have him on colostomy and he's too afraid to go through the surgery to get fixed.

Shit's no joke.
 
"Buy low, sell high." - things Jesus definitely said
I feel this.

Literally, we outsourced ourselves with the Industrial Revolution. We are our own chinks and jeets.

Once upon a time being any sort of craftsperson was maximum protected. No employees, just one bitch at a time to be your slave as price for a trade school education. Us, farmers, miners and woodsmen were the source of basically all wealth. Early traders performed arbitrages predicated on scarcity. Miners were less well off because technically the land owner owned the ore and you got paid to dig it for him, and the land owners paid you to cut their tees for them.

But then we got herded up and stuck into factories, and this is when the service sector was really born.

Suddenly everyone has some justification for sitting in a basement office contemplating the loss of a stapler, and all the actual wealth comes from the same place it always did. People made shit up like “oh check out this twiddlefuck index, it means you owe me more money,” and then people started believing that currency got its value from faith instead of representing trade goods

Then we decided we don’t need craftsmen! We can tell the chinks about the twiddlefuck index and make them send us shit for free!
 
Animals don't care what the clock says, they just know they get fed at a certain time. Then they get grumpy if you feed them "an hour later" because the clock changed again. I hate the clock changing.
My dog threw a temper tantrum when the time changed last fall. He was throwing his dish around and standing in place to glare at my girlfriend and I. It was hilarious and then we fed him “early” since he was upset.
