So you're telling us that your Google search for specifically unflattering reviews of the man dug up some unflattering reviews? Shocking. By this logic, if I go out and find a bunch of negative assessments of Pierre Poilievre, are you going to accept them? 🙃 -
Can you point out where anyone argued monetary and fiscal policy are the same thing? Nope. That leads us to the next question, which is why would you pound out this useless, longwinded rant explaining it? The answer, as always, is that your belligerent stupidity was revealed yet again, and your automatic response is to throw a tantrum, and puke all over yourself as some sort of weird deflection. 😆👌
-
If you had actual economic arguments to debate, perhaps we could, but dredging up Liz Truss quotes doesn't count. 🙃
-
This is another gem of a quote that I'm going to have to save, because you couldn't have done a better job proving how clueless and full of shit you are if you were trying. Nobody said they were. Guess what though? They're deeply intertwined and have profound influence on each other, so arguing that an economist doesn't "worry" about both is categorically retarded, nevermind the exhaustive list of other things they'd "worry" about. You can't even educate yourself. 🤣
-
Ah, I see. Perhaps you could then explain what it means to have done what "economist" does, if leading multiple central banks doesn't qualify him? 🙄 Wouldn't you just call them a pilot? What if a pilot worked for a bank, flying the top leadership around in their helicopters and planes? Would you call him a banker, because he works for a bank, or would he still be a pilot? 🙃
-
Maybe you could explain what an economist is, if an Oxford University economics doctorate doesn't qualify you as one. 🤣

You can click the link to the authors’ other wonderful work on Newsweek, including his rave review of Trump’s clown cabinet and, in particular, Tulsi Gabbard. “I see no evidence…”. 😆

If I didn't know better, I'd think this was some really clever self-parody on your part. Then I remembered that actually requires self-awareness, and cringed for you.

Putin's motivation for starting the war is revanchism. His justification for it is batshit and utter nonsense, and only uneducated rubes who know SFA all about history believe a word of it. Right? Imagine admiring a servile, futile donkey-people that despite all material advantages can't drag their useless existences into even the 20th century, and still live like serfs from the 1700's.

I refer you to anything else he's written for Newsweek. 🙃

Yes, that's why I asked you if you knew what an opinion piece even is. You were framing it as if it was Newsweek's view, rather than just the on-brand opinion of another Republican shill who wrote into Newsweek. 🙃

You do know what an opinion piece is, right? This isn't even an editorial...
-
Okay sure.
-
You can highlight the shameless and obvious nature of the near-endless lies he tells. We're not talking about the regular political spin or fibbing either. It's the bald-faced, retarded fabrications he conjures out of thin air that really highlight what's going with him. On that, you can be completely objective.
-
Right, before the Trump's useless, global trade-war kicked off, and before he started vandalizing the US economy. Let's look at this again in a couple of months. I'll trust the economists and you can trust your Kool-Aid on how inflation plays out, okay? 🙃
-
True enough, but the markets spooking, manufacturing outlooks plummeting and inflation going up since Trump took office are all messes of his own making, and have little to do with Biden. It'll be interesting to see how many Kool-Aid drinkers continue to blame Biden for torpedoing US federal finances with tax cuts for the wealthy (that never pay off) and trade-war recessions that don't bring the jobs back they pretend they will. Don't take my word for it though. Just wait and see. Short of an about-face and a reversal of policy on Trump's part, bad days are ahead for the USA.
-
In a vacuum, and if it's actually beneficial for Ukraine. Trump's first offer on this deal was extortive and would have ensured their poverty. Regardless, none of it actually matters if they're getting rolled by the Russians and they're ceding large swathes of territory for it. Not if it's a capitulation to Russia, or if like 2014, it's just a temporary cessation that leads to Russia regrouping and trying again in a few years. As we know, nothing Vladimir Putin signs is worth the paper it's signed on. Donald Trump is doing a good job convincing the world the same holds for the USA! You mean passing the buck on allies, who will actually provide the security guarantees? 🙄

Mark Carney's cllimate change fanaticism laid bare.

He's not worth hating, or taking seriously. He's an edgelord bullshitter with opinions on everything, and mostly things he doesn't know anything about. -
Because they aren't? The first step in recognizing Trump's batshittery is that most of what comes out of his mouth is absolute balogna. Whether it's because he believes everything that comes into his muddled head, or he's just a compulsive liar is up to you, but he's full of shit 99% of the time. Much has been made by the Orange Blob about Canadian dairy tariffs, but are you aware that there is a zero-tariff maximum that the US is allowed to export to Canada under the USMCA (the best trade deal ever written in history...the one Trump negotiated), and that the this maximum is never reached? Those tariffs aren't paid by anyone. Reciprocal? Nonsense.
-
About as well as anyone could "prove" Biden was. The evidence, I would argue, is pretty compelling for both. Biden looked lost and barely aware of his surroundings. Trump looks deranged and unaware of his reality. One is senile. The other is batshit. That's the best that America could come up with over the last 12 years.
-
Okay. Does a world exist where both are unfit?
-
The funniest part about all of this is that the overvalued dollar isn't even a problem. Being the world reserve currency is one of best things going for the US, but you're right that it's a drag on their exports. That Fat Orange slob is like a little baby throwing a tantrum. He wants to have his cake (world reserve status) and eat it too (sans the trade deficit that world reserve status causes almost by default). 50% aluminum tariffs now! No! Make it 400%! THAT will show us!
-
Wrong about what!?!? 🤣 The fact that a mineral deal isn't a security guarantee? I'm not ignoring what you're saying. I'm laughing at it. This "factual observation" you're trotting out in front of us is anything but. The final outcome of a peace deal could make Ukraine stronger, or it could be forcing Ukraine to roll over and let Putin get away with everything he's done. It could be something in between, but calling it "factual observation", or assuming it as a given, is as ridiculous as everything else that the MAGA donkeys try to rationalize.
-
How long is this old rag of an argument going to last? Why don't you blame Obama while you're at it? The cause of the current market chaos is singular, and the odds of a Trumpcession increase daily.
-
Yes, I know what I said, so where's the obfuscation? That's your playbook! We're still waiting for an actual argument against the above, beyond just repeating Trump's foolish claims. No, that's just MAGA clownworld logic. What you're trying to make people believe is that drastically weakening Ukraine's fighting position by freezing aid, and handing Putin a massive propaganda edge with his retarded comments about Zelensky being a dictator and starting the war, Trump is somehow paving the path for a stronger Ukraine. What you're saying is absolutely retarded. 🤡
