Yep, two sets of 'facts' nowadays. I see no point in arguing over which "set" is correct.

Do you bitch and whine about everything? Sheesh, it must be exhausting.

One has to wonder if the RINO's (cowards that they are) will continue to "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"...Heck, they were hell-bent on continuing that tradition in the heat of the Presidential election...a remarkably clueless bunch.

Ah, is this the opening shot in "now the debt matters?"

Two sets of facts in this country now...no middle ground exists.

Well reasoned post on the topic. I agree that he has a few too many "big ideas" that probably need some tempering. Whether it's "the wall", a blanket mass deportation or a few of the other big campaign pledges, he will need to figure out something that doesn't torpedo the economy.

Good thread and some interesting anecdotes (if only to prove ZZZzzz's stereotypes wrong).

It's about that time when Piezoe reminds us that he is a libertarian.

Yep, it's all been heading in this direction for awhile now. Essentially, this is how guys like Piezoe can rationalize away the election failure and the demise of the Democratic party. It's essential that they can hang onto their own "fake news" and label any independent organization as "fake...

That is a very good point there. UBI will eventually happen, it's just the way that ideas are floated into the mainstream press for awhile before it picks up momentum. Not at all unlike "zero interest rates" (ZIRP) and eventually NIRP in certain locales. QE and other assorted programs also...

for the record, I think that it is a petty dispute about the crowd size, but after the tricks played regarding crowd size at various Trump campaign events, a bit of skepticism is warranted.

Piezoe? No question about it.

CNBC probably has 10% of the audience they had during peak viewership (late 90's-early 00's).

RAES was referenced because it was essentially the opposite of what exists nowadays. i.e. quotes would often go stale or out of alignment with other strikes and you could hit those bids and offers. Obviously nobody was trading back in those days, but I'm not talking about the 1970's, this was...

Back when RAES was operational, it was far better for the public.

That 5th wave may still unfold, but this market is probably a few days away from another September 9th type of downdraft.

It's basically playing out the August-early September 2016 pattern once again. Notice how the S&P basically closes within a few points of the PDC over and over again. Intra-day there can be quite a bit of volatility but it always "mean regresses" into the close. September 9th broke the...

Sure thing, "Mr Fair and Balanced".

Complete and utter bullshit.

I need Krugman's take on this. Can somebody page Ricter?
