You truly think there's deflation happening?

Do you believe some talking head on Newsmax? Come on man. "deflation" is not happening, nobody believes that. It is a terrible choice of a term on his part. But the graph does tell the truth. Inflation is down. Or do you take exception to that?

I do not believe the inflation numbers if they're using that truflation mess which seems to be a right wing go-to. Everything I see and hear from buyers in our company states that is cooling but not near enough to match those claims

You have to also remember the US govt is spending massive amounts of money to prop this up. AI or also a large part of the growth which has no affect on most people. We're not in a solid place

How would you prefer me address the tweets from less intelligent sources? What would make you feel better about yourself?

If you think a political forum mod has any bearing on how I feel about myself you may want to reconsider your life. Do as you please but don’t get emotional over the truth.

The real tragedy in all this is that it proves there is no objective "math" for any of this. It is/has been/always will be, easy to manipulate.

Remember 4 out of 5 dentists surveyed...

As Americans, I do have sympathy for the misled, who may have thought they voted in their best interests. Empathy? Probably not so much.
But there's a catch for me. If, if, if, they are intelligent enough to FINALLY realize what the orange ogre really is at his core, and turn to doing the right thing, I can both identify and appreciate them as true Americans. I leaned MAGA too, figured that perhaps we really needed a businessman in charge. But very early, saw the warning signs, so stepped away when I saw the warning signs.

Wait a minute. You are taking the "Tweet" as actually having any validity and not the information contained therein. That is PRECISELY what I was talking about in another post as to wishing there was a way to shut down twitter and other social media forms.. not as a form of censorship, but because they are so full of sensationalism and... well... ********. They do far more harm and are massively divisive to this country. For example, they tarnished Charlie Kirk's image by posting headlines that he "destroyed", or "humiliated" a leftist student when that is not remotely in the same galaxy as what actually happened in the video. It's disgusting.

Charlie Kirk's image was pretty much the same to how people viewed him before the ketchup packets popped out of his neck.

He had fans, he had people who detested him, and you had people who didn't give a sh*t.

Ketchup packets? Really? I don't disagree with you regarding how people felt about him, and I know you probably fall into the don't gas camp but good grief show at least a little class. The man was murdered on live video in front of his kids.

And the point of my post was condemning the way social media is dividing us all by it's sensationalism when it is so far over the top that it isn't even tame enough to be farcical or satire. It's disgusting.

People die every day and I'll make light of those descriptions too.

Would you prefer I say tits up? Died honorably on the battlefield of discourse? Lost a game of chicken with a hollow point?

Just do me a solid and retroactively come at anyone who **** on Alex Pretti after he got domed by federal agents.
