Very entertaining, thanks! The Republicans are the party of ignoramuses; the Democrats of eggheads. Each ignoramus or egghead can can chose whether to ally with Republicans or Democrats but only eggheads can understand why.

Why ask for advice here? Call Amazon! You'll talk to a real person. And they will explain your options. Amazon is the opposite of Comcast. Amazon is flourishing, Comcast is dying. And there is a reason.

According to Trump. Ha ha ha. If you want to know the real Trump there are reams written about him by people who have known him for years. He's 90% Barnam and Bailey without the lions and elephants and 20 foot boa constrictor. The other 10% is criminal, and that's the part that is truly...

Maybe I have so many rhetorical tricks it would be worth a writing a manual as a guide for others. Would you be interested it authoring it? I want credit of course as the originator of these tricks.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/15/business/elon-musk-tesla-board.html However I diagnosed him as bipolar long before this NY Times article came out. That's the sole reason I ruled out long ago any consideration of investing in Tesla.

If you don't mind I'll just stick with my previous comment with regard to your assertion implying that it is unreasonable to consider Trump a failed human considering his high office and wealth. If it is any comfort to you, you are not alone in your thinking. I allow, however, that you may...

Because of Trump's shenanigans, we risk suffering long term loss of markets to competitors. I'm not at all sure China will stop buying Soybeans from Brazil and go back to buying them from U.S. Farmers just because we have pieced back together trade relations Trump wrecked. We have no...

Do we need another "great recession" so you guys can boast of another longest period of "expansion?" This is all very nice to see, but what is not so nice to see is the lower half of the middle class shrinking in size, as those at the bottom drop into poverty, and many of those remaining...

I also consider Stalin and Hitler to be failed human beings. Both were leaders of great nations. As is obvious, my criteria for success as a human being is very different from yours. And whether that miserable excuse for a man goes to prison for tax evasion and money laundering, or not, he'll...

This was apparently intended for someone else. My post was about what a lousy businessman and failed human being Trump is. We know that about 30% of the Country think Trump is a good businessman and a wonderful President. Bless their hearts, Trump rally goers and groupies have Trump himself as...

I see you copied my bad spelling. It is "dire straits"! I tried to correct it but the 60 min rule foiled me. I hope your right of course. But I'm concerned the residue from "this shit with Trump" may be with us long after Trump's gone. I was referring to democracy and freedom, not the...

It is too soon to know for sure, but I am guessing he didn't get away with it. We'll know for sure by November. In the meantime, I'll fasten my seatbelt, it is going to be a bumpy ride. Trumps scorched earth policy lives little between his re-election and prison. My guess is the latter. He...

Good for local driving, commuting, or second car I guess.

Maybe you'd like a second opinion from those 72 U.S. banks left holding Trump's bag. In fact Trump is, in your words, "such a Billionaire Successful Businessman" that no U.S. banks would lend to him. He did eventually get a handout from Deutsche Bank, the only Western Bank with an office in...

The deficit must never be paid off completely for a very good reasons. The debt is the sum total of deficits so long as debt is intentionally kept in balance with deficits.* Maintaining this balance gives the appearance of the government borrowing to spend amounts greater than its receipts...

The Presidents mental disorder was evident from childhood. It is undoubtedly a factor in his many personal and business failures. It has been a longstanding subject of public discussion for years. Based on current events it would seem the electorate did not take the danger seriously enough. As...

This is the same illogic used by jem, but more emphatically stated.

For the same reason some investors may shun investment in Tesla, i.e., the CEO appears to be suffering from bipolar disorder, some countries may put off trade and other negotiations with the United States hoping there will be a change in leadership in 11 months. The U.S. President has a severe...

It's not clear to me why this thread is in the economics forum. Nevertheless , i would like to comment on what i see as a hurdle to wider acceptance of electric cars: time needed to charge the batteries. I don't see a technological solution with lithium ion batteries because of temperature...

Moderator. Why is this in the economics forum?
