I thought this was a serious thread? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/dests-everything-journal.332136/page-11 You called me when you were exercising your ESOPs.and I've seen your Tampa crib.
Why do you want Elon Musk to do "significant necessary damage to the economy" ??? Correct, the current spending levels are not sustainable but I think they will continue because of supply/demand with our goods and the ongoing Wars (Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Iran/Hezbollah). I mention the supply/demand concern because we recently saw two key strikes in the United States that were negotiated (put on hold until after the U.S. Presidential election)...potentially costing America hundreds of millions of dollars each day. wrbtrader
Because long-term the pain will be much worse if we don't cut spending. Interest is becoming too large of a percentage of our spending which obviously does not help growth at all. If Americans are upset about the recent round of inflation I can't imagine how things will get when the debt inevitably kicks it into hyper-mode and the dollar loses its status as the world's currency.
Ahh....I'm sorry, Atticus/Dest. I had no idea you were the latest incarnate of the guy I knew. I have always spoken highly of you, even when you were unable to hold your temper toward me. I had to eventually put you on ignore because you couldn't be civil, and I've always tried to be civil to you, out of my respect for you (I didn't know this was your latest username). You absolutely helped me 10 years ago when I worked for a different company, but you never saw my crib, so let's, at least, be honest. Since then, I'm now considerably further along in my career than that spot. However, again, because I've nothing but respect for you (I remember losing a bet and paying on it regarding Obama/Romney), I'm going to stop engaging with you. We both know you have a temper, and there will be nothing gained from our conversation (as you will never admit to anything). So have the last word, my old friend. Even if its at my expense.
I never made posts in detail supporting Biden and how great he is and touting all he has done, so I don't owe anyone shit. But all the trump supporters here who put trump on a pedastal on how he gets shit done and how great he is, well I hope they keep that enthusiasm when their leader fails on promises. If this does not pertain to you then keep scrolling... I never put it out there so I have nothing to defend.....maybe you can find the posts where I made such claims so I dont have to search.
Dont say that because Magas believe China is paying all those taxes. I can send them my tax bill customs sent me for Chinese origin good I imported and ask why I got the bill and not China... and also ask them to explain why my customer is upset because I had to pass on the cost to the American buyer and not the Chinese government...
trump won the popular vote and the electoral college by several states and aided in the flip of the Senate.... Dems got spanked hard, the margin is irrelevant.
