Here's a list of your quotes, in the part of this thread where you spent a whole page arguing how Carney wasn't an economist: "Banker yes, economist no." "It means you have a Doctorate. Which means you've been educated on the subject. But unless you've actually done it it's a bit of a stretch to say you're an economist." "Carney worked for a bank, and never as an economist. I would call him a banker because that's what he did, never as an economist" If I said anything as stupid as you did here, I'd want to pretend I didn't as well, but it's easy to prove you're lying, as you normally do. -
Coming from the guy saying the economics doctorate isn't an economist, I'm pretty comfortable where I land in comparison to you on what the word "facts" means. Thanks for the laugh about belligerence though. Your projection is showing again. How many internet fights are you getting yourself into today? 🤡

If you want to mouth off and rant your deeply uninformed opinions here, they're going to get challenged. If they're particularly dumb, they're going to get mocked. You can be a big boy and calmly reason out and defend those opinions, or your can cry like a little girl about the fight you keep running straight into swinging. If Liz Truss falling into the PM's chair without being elected to it and lasting 49 days before being laughed out of office counts for something, what does that say about Trudeau getting elected 3 times and lasting ~10 years? What does that say about Carney, who was recruited as the first non-brit in 300 years to run the Bank of England? You do know that logic works both ways, right? FFS. You seem to be under the goofy illusion that dredging the interweb for people saying what you want to hear somehow forms your argument for you. The fact that you quoted Liz Truss with a straight face proves that you didn't do anything but Google "Carneyman bad" and then thoughtlessly drop the links into this thread. Thanks for your "contribution". 👌

Considering Russia is already smothered in sanctions, this "threat" rings pretty empty. Now Russia is saying they're not going along with a Black Sea deal until some of the existing sanctions are lifted. Let's see how that goes, huh? 😆 Trump's spin is your reality. That's why you can't run away fast enough from the "fact" that he keeps legitimizing Putin's propaganda points. 👌
-
While no leverage or pressure was applied to Russia whatsoever. While Trump and his clown cabinet validated and justified Putin's invasion publicly. If you were trying to describe appeasement then I guess you're right? 🤡
-
Right, so declaring Zelensky a dictator, that Ukraine started the war, and pausing military aid and intelligence sharing weren't all gifts to Putin. Okay buddy boy. 🤡👍
-
Yes, because Trump seems inclined to make sure it gets worse. So far, he's done nothing but improve Putin's position and make Ukraine's position worse. This is not surprising, of course, because everything he and his clown cabinet were saying even before the election suggested that's exactly what they were going to do.
-
It's funny that you say that. You're technically right, of course. Nothing you're saying here matters. I'd be more inclined to listen to someone who knew nothing about this topic before I listened to Army Guy, who knows less than nothing but has strong opinions anyway. That's how we know that you have no freaking clue what you're talking about, and that your "research" is nothing more than grasping for folks saying what you've already decided you want to hear. That's why you offered Liz Truss as a source. She was saying what you wanted to hear, and the fact that she's a disgraced clown that was laughed out of office didn't even register. You probably didn't even know who she was.
-
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? 🙄
