Baristas unionize at Starbucks in Warren

[Rocket]

Eggs down $1 since Jan [from $4.95 to $3.98]

Oil below $60 a barrel for the first time since a month after Biden took office!


Truflation index shows the lowest effective inflation rate since Trump was president the first time. [Effective rate 1.2%].


So basically,.. THE WORLD IS ENDING! ORANGE MAN BAD!

Oil prices always drop when recession threatens…

Yeah, using oil prices as an example is like saying stock prices are way cheaper since Trump took over.

[Rocket]

Not true.

By March of 2022 most were sure we were about to go into a full blown recession, yet oil prices continued to climb for another 3 months to $118 a barrel.


This time, it's isn't the majority, or even any of the smart people fearing a recession, instead it's just the "Useful Idiot" class that believes everything the propagandists say. [And who will get fleeced as they panic-sell stuff out of their 401k's].

The smart ones are going to quietly buy.

This is the elites using their propaganda arm [mainstream media] to fleece the idiot class.

[canuck]

Poor MAGA. Still referred to as "the idiot class". Deplorable.

The elites still stuck in that Leftist intellectual, smart, cosmopolitan class.

The real losers here are the billionaires, they are forced to keep a straight face…

...The real losers here are the billionaires, they are forced to keep a straight face…

Yes. Nerve, bone, ligament, and muscle damage often happen to those who force a straight face when hearing Rocket's advice to quietly buy while Trump destroys our future.

[canuck]

Rocket’s got a good deal on some property in Commie-nist Chiner, where Teslers are selling at fire sale prices right now.

In other news, F/Elon is pleading with Chump to stop the craziness, which coming from him is saying a lot. Another one of his principal billionaire backers has developed a facial cramp. Ackman, a hedge fund guy likens the tariff war to a nuclear strike on the markets.

We’ll have to see how well thought out the plan to fight an economic war with 200 countries was. I guess Bangladesh has been taking advantage of the US for so long now, it’s time for retaliation.

[Zacha341]

Hah! Tesla's are probably safest from vandalism, etc. in the 'hood these days! As appose to the suburbs........

[Rocket]

it’s time for retaliation.

Wow. So threatening to charge others 1/2 of what they have long been charging us is retaliation?

Wow, you two trolls have taken ALL the vaccines haven't you?

LOL

It's hard for intelligent people to take either of you seriously.

So;
Creating high paying manufacturing jobs = Destroying our future!

Trillions in foreign investment = Destroying our future!

Lowering prices and inflation = Destroying our future!

Reducing waste and corruption = Destroying our future!

Fixing our broken education system = Destroying our future!

Really?

You may want to research the common signs of a Psy-Op. If the government and the mainstream media simultaneously tell you to believe something, you can be certain it's a Psy-Op.


Just a note;
"Leftist intellectual, smart, cosmopolitan class" = morons. You're confusing education with intelligence and wisdom. Being indoctrinated with leftist ideology for 4 years and leaving school nearly unemployable and with a lot of debt doesn't make one smart. If anything, it's the opposite.

[Henry Whalley]

... It's hard for intelligent people to take either of you seriously.

Rocket, you must come from an abusive family. Were you verbally assaulted during dinner? Have a little respect for others.

Those numbers on the stupid tariffs chart were totally made up, probably by X Musk, a kid with a bright future on Mars. His dad thinks that the future of humanity resides there. Take a good look at Mars mission photos and read up on it and don’t het caught into the propaganda. Tell me that guy isn’t unhinged.

As for Vice President Chump, he’s sunk enough companies and defrauded enough suppliers and investors, he certainly knows what he’s doing. He is totally consistent.

[Rocket]

Rocket, you must come from an abusive family. Were you verbally assaulted during dinner? Have a little respect for others.

Wait, what? Is this an exercise in hypocrisy? A contest to see in how few words you can pull it off?

In just 2 lines, you manage to insult my family twice, AND suggest I respect others. [Others being the very 2 posters on here that themselves show the least respect].

I get the feeling you and canuck are just trolling for your own amusement. I find it hard to believe anyone actually believes what you two claim to believe.

We all know that when you resort to calling names, it means YOU realize you are on the wrong side of the debate.

You two do it so often. I sometimes wonder if you realize it has the opposite effect that you think it does?

[canuck]

Rocket, you are not stupid, just misguided. Anybody that thinks Chump isn’t a poor imitator of Mussolini, or even Berlusconi, is missing a screw, or lacking historical perspective, I suppose the latter as far as you are concerned. You brought up the useful idiot class in your post #54. I just defined for you. No need to be butt hurt. As far as calling names and exposing slander, I’ve already stated Donald’s use of namecalling as a technique to draw attention. You shouldn’t be offended, you need to toughen up.

So you're saying that President Trump calling leftist-fascits, chronic liars and crooks like Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff etc names means it's OK for you guys to do it to people on this board? And to turn every thread into a S___ show?

It's classless.

I'm not offended, just annoyed that you two feel the constant need to bring the level of conversation down to the gutter every time. Henry especially can't let a valid sensible post go by without changing the subject and calling someone names. And you can't let a thread about Barristas playing a risky game go by without name calling the president, even though he has nothing on Earth to do with baristas in Warren.

Why do you two insist on turning every thread into a s___ show?

I'm beginning to think it's just a hobby. There's a meme about that. Launching a post at night intended to offend everyone so that you'll have a hot mess to read through over morning coffee. Is that the game?

[Wesley Mouch]

Not to mention all the short sellers who have already profited from the market tanking in the first place.

Every trade has two sides.

[Wesley Mouch]

Will Detroit and Michigan collapse twice in my lifetime?

The First Victim of Trump’s Trade War: Michigan’s Economy - WSJ

Few things are as they seem. President Trump is far more interested in helping real people, while his loud opponents are supporting Wall Street.

[Jimaz]

So you're saying that President Trump calling leftist-fascits, chronic liars and crooks....

Wait. Are you pro- or con- Antifa? You can't have it both ways.

I'm not offended, just annoyed that you two....

Well I am offended. You might have politely included me as a third party but no, you had to be selective.

Please, do me a favor. Hate me too.

The last thing I wanted to do was to raise your temperature. Just have your coffee and calm down.

Somebody should tell the Musk brothers to stop insulting Navarro, he seems to be doing a good job with his tariffs against the whole planet. American brands are bound to be highly sought after in the next little while, as the world warms to the intricacies of US foreign policy. I'm pretty sure Starbucks is on the up and up, along with Tesla.

Apple has lost the equivalent of Walmart's entire value in stocks in the past week...

[Henry Whalley]

... Just have your coffee and calm down...

Agreed, it's only money. Let's just enjoy watching today's market.

[Henry Whalley]

... Hate me too.

He's quietly buying -- no time to hate.

[canuck]

He's quietly buying -- no time to hate.

The hate thing is overdone.

I mean, F-Elon calling Navarro a moron, dumber than a sack of bricks is probably a sign of affection in that particular coterie of "colleagues".

[Henry Whalley]

... a sign of affection in that particular coterie of "colleagues".

And poisoning is a sign of respect among that crowd.

P.S. But seriously:

Before the French Revolution, death by hanging was the usual punishment for common criminals, while beheading was reserved for nobility. After the Revolution, common criminality in France declined, and the market for rope collapsed. On the other hand, more nobles were beheaded on the guillotine. The net result was less capital punishment in France. So, the revolution was pro-life. Just saying...

Yeah, the aristocrats were the equivalent of today's oligarchy, and their propensity for punishment was a very clear sign of their love for the people. The payback, however, was sanguinary a la power of ten...

If you look at the French National anthem, the wording is particularly violent, it certainly points to a lot of pent-up multi-generational anger directed toward the ruling class. But, there is a sizeable minority of people who harken back to the days of royal rule. It's easier to look at the monuments that kings and queens, the aristocracy left behind and oppose that grandeur to a lot of subsequent achievements.

The temptation for people to identify with what they think to be a strong, indomitable ruler is always there...

[Henry Whalley]

Wait. Are you pro- or con- Antifa?

The very mention of a trade union sends Rocket into a Three Stooges Niagara Falls psychotic conniption.

What part of "I'm fine with that" [post 6) makes you say that about me?
