Yes. The top 7 largest DJIA drops in history, and 9 of the top 10, have occurred while the economic genius Donald John Trump is president.

In fairness, you're measuring by absolute numbers and not %s, and so the DJIA will always fluctuate more today because it's so much higher.

But I don't know who I am trying to be fair to. MAGAs? Trump? After all the lies of their own?

Yeah I’m not in the mood to give him the benefit of the doubt on things like that. Especially when Biden only had one of those top 10 days in his four years.

You know they are going to point to all the niggling detail and give it that "Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel" thing.

That's not what I read today. I think they were unprepared for being hit with tariffs. They are studying the issue.

Perhaps, but last week they were ready lick his balls and to cut a deal on trade. Perhaps once they themselves got hit with the 10% hammer they’re having a rethink. Just as they’re rethinking Brexit just a tad

Whirlpool Corp. has announced it is letting go of an estimated 650 workers from its manufacturing facility in Amana, Iowa, effective June 1.

Responding to media, Whirlpool Corp. executives blamed the layoffs on reduced consumer demand, primarily refrigeration units.


“Whirlpool Corporation has made necessary adjustments to production at its Amana operations to align with current market conditions driven by consumer demand. This has resulted in the announcement of a workforce reduction of approximately 650 employees within specific production teams at the facility. We are committed to supporting affected employees through this transition by providing access to onsite HR support and a dedicated employee support line, an employee assistance program, and guidance on unemployment benefits through Iowa Workforce Development.”

The layoff will affect nearly one-third of the company’s workforce of 2,000 employees in Amana.

He’s too busy closing deals and shit. Besides, politics aren’t that serious. And even if they are, there’s a transgender out there somewhere who caused this mess!

That's Zen that's hung up on trans people.

You know, far too many people see politics as not important. Like my BIL. They don't understand the relationship to their lives. They don't understand how a well run government that puts the people first could make their lives better.

I was listening to something last week talking about marketing the democratic message. They said that those in the bottom 25% pay attention to politics about 5 minutes a week. They don't dig in at all. So, when trump lied and said he would make their lives better they were ok to vote for that.

We have to market to those people and then when we pass legislation, we have to finish the job and complete the projects.
