That is valid when you're being inconsistent. You want an articulate President, Trump is not an option.

Did JJ say he wants Trump to be president? I may have missed it.

Right now, there are two leading candidates likely to be on the ballot. One stutters, the other is incoherent.

It's only taken 2 trillion of deficit spending to get that, nice!

We have a guest speaker on our morning leadership call for work…he’s an economist and for some reason he thinks deficit spending and real inflation numbers are related and are actually an issue; he made it abundantly clear that it’s not a politics debate and that element needs to be set aside to have a reasonable discussion.

I still think one of my all time favorite HQ2 takes is that printing trillions of dollars and pumping them into the economy didn’t cause any inflation.

Did those dollars get pumped into the economy? Musk, Bezos, Gates, et all have had a net increase in wealth of many many billions. What are they spending it on that is increasing prices? The stock market keeps going up - that means people are HODLing their stocks, not selling it and spending on vacations. If someone got a COVID check but that just replaced wages they would have otherwise gotten, that isn't a net increase of money into the economy - but whatever goods or services they otherwise would have produced didn't get produced and are now scarcer.

Yes, those rich tech guys that sell goods and services to the people and businesses who received the newly printed money did disproportionately benefit from printing the money.

Avian flu + somewhat increased demand does that.

Demand for all goods and services rose after the pandemic, obviously, as a great many families had been paid a large chunk of money by the government and didn’t have as many places to spend it prior. Plus their desire to get out and do something.

For obvious reasons, software, tech, and delivery services did really well during the lockdowns.
