Oh my gosh. I believe I had meetings there one time in the late ‘90s.

Trump is an abusive narcissist who is desperate to create a legacy before he dies. I think this is serious. I am pretty sure the protests will be massive if he tries to do this. I just hope the generals refuse to obey the order.

My girlfriend got a habitat home. (Crazy that she has a UNC degree and works for UNC but still qualifies.) I helped her get her hours in. Probably did about 100 hours in the last year. Oh, also, every one of the houses I worked on have solar panels.

There are big arguments about this on Reddit. I think in general it is a bad idea to move money around often. I think it is a terrible idea to sell based on nothing but the falling values. But I think if you truly believe the economic situation will significantly deteriorate, then I think it...

What if Trump is trying to destroy the economy so that Republicans can turn around and drop tax rates to 10% and implement a federal government that resembles one of the 19th century? The common people will support it because the tax reduction helps dig out of the major recession/depression...

For me money market type options in 401k and international stocks and keeping an eye on international contagion.

I don’t think so. In my opinion this is going much further down unless Trump has a mea culpa moment. And that is assuming he isn’t doing this on purpose. Full disclosure, I have some bets (put options) on this and have moved my money to money market and international funds. So I could be...

Nazis did have a larger base of support at their peak than Trump has or will ever have.

Of course but he knows that argument is a lot stronger if the recession starts in his first six months. And in normal circumstances he would be right. Whatever control a president has over the economy, it wouldn't normally happen so quickly and so drastically. But that only applies to a...

I've wondered if one reason Trump is doing this is because he knew the P/E ratios were very high (stock market is the economy to him) and predicted a fall in the markets so he wanted it to happen quickly so he can blame Biden. Remember he did say that the markets were going to crash either...

Actually that helps. Thx

I am wondering if Trump is trying to crash the economy quickly so that he can place all the blame on Biden. I think many people think a correction is due and since it didn't happen before Biden left office Trump needs it to happen quickly rather than in a year or two. If someone were to do...

Can you expand on that? Are you saying that the market correction has no kept pace with what is expected via the other economic indicators?

I wonder if she is similar to Megyn Kelly - doing whatever it takes to stay employed. Megyn completely rebranded herself when she left Fox News. When that didn't work out she doubled down on right wing crazy. I think some of these people are just acting. That is not a defense. In fact, it...

That is about the dumbest hypothetical I have every seen. I have far more faith in our government (at least I did before Trump) than I would have in some random guy in a Ramada Inn conference room. Of course nobody would ever trust a random guy to administer such a scheme. Also social...
