Your local red state voting might still be legit / mostly honest ( not democrat run states / cities though ) but federal voting / electing the president voting is fucked, the swamp decides who the president is, they absolutely picked Biden to win in 2020, ballot / vote counting fraud stole the election from trump ( who they wanted to be rid of ) and republicans wanted him gone too, so no one did, or investigated jack shit, no voter reforms were passed, nothing done to secure elections, 10-12 million illegals imported, many of which will vote thanks to weak voting laws / handing out state id to them, motor voter enrollment, etc. Biden could have 5% approval ratings, 95% of every social media posts / comments/ poll going trump, trump getting 100,000 rally’s, Biden never campaign once, and Biden will win in a landslide. Buckle up, it’s coming, because they are terrified as fuck of trump getting back in power, and him getting revenge via kicking off investigations, special prosecutors, calling them out in speeches every 5 minutes, exposing their corruption , and putting America first. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ACEB36TC: In my economics classes we were taught that a "healthy" economy is one where the sum of the prime rate and the inflation rate was below 7. Nowhere close to that now. yep that's based on a historical average of prime about 3-4% and inflation 2-3%, which is super healthy and everybody can win. But they managed to fuck that up tremendously....the god damn fucktards at the fed kept rates too fucking low for too long and then the elected fuck wads decided to just fucking give out money to people like candy and shiut down the ecnomy. JFC I don't think they could have fucked this up more if they actually tried. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mcantu: the direct assistance was peanuts compared to the corporate aid given out I agree. We refused to accept aid for our ranch. It took a lot of faith, planning, and hard work. We turned down thousands but have no regrets. We made it through debt-free and still grew. We are expanding into cut flowers and micro-greens for the farmers market and plan on adding Lamb and Goat meat. Last year we had no idea what to plan for with the cut flowers. It was a test run. We were blown away. We were sold out in three weeks. We earned back the cost of equipment and seed in the first week. We have greatly expanded this year. Our rule is to remain debt-free and we are reaping the reward. |

JFC I don't think they could have fucked this up more if they actually tried. You can't leave out politics, that is just a fact. Never has an administration done differently. Some say the rates are too low, some say they are too high. Who is right? The one you want to believe if you are on GD. With the Anarchists and Ultra-Right know-nothings, no way I'm trusting them. If it was raining, I'd look out the window. The same goes for the Left. Do some serious homework and come to your own conclusions. I trust what I see in the market, what is the projected harvest, and factors the Govt. can't stick their fingers in. Everyone was screaming the oil market was being destroyed. Biden closed the pipeline deal costing thousands of jobs. He stopped fracking. He still buys oil indirectly from Russia. He closed Alaska to oil development. He closed some oil refineries. The asshole even sucked the oil reserve dry. Still, we are the world's largest oil exporter. Does that tell you anything gloom and doom? Biden is proposing a record $8 Trillion budget. $6 Trillion of it on credit. Everyone is crickets, even the Republicans are hiding in their closets. No one is making any effort to block this, That should scare the bejesus out of every American, but few even talk about it. It should be the key election topic but the Trump trials are diverting the attention. For more years of $8 Trillion+ budgets, the ship of state will dash upon the rocks. Do you really think in five years, $30 trillion in new debt is a winning solution? There is your gloom and doom. Most of the Boomers will be gone and the Millenial socialism will be secure. it won't hit until down the road with no one having enough brains capable of stopping, much less reversing it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chisum: I lived through the Carter years. Carter was a clueless idealist who surrounded himself with greedy power brokers to manipulate him. Biden is a socialist schemer, doing economic destruction deliberately. However, the US economy is too huge and mobile for him to single-handedly gut. Some entitlements may be a drain on the economy in some areas but the war in Ukraine and Israel and threatening Taiwan is the counterbalance. The Military Industrial Complex has proven inadequate for war and expanding rapidly. Foreign orders are going up while Russian and Chinese orders are at an all-time low. It pays to make good weapons that really work. Just what we need. The tradeoff is Putin and China can't afford to counter it without gutting their economies. China's global navy runs on oil and they don't have enough to sustain ships at sea long term. They also don't have the knowledge and skill to sustain them. The war in Ukraine will bankrupt Russia. They are being forced to use pay-as-you-go mercenaries in Africa. Putin doesn't have much to pay them and it is getting less every day. The good old days of creating chaos are grinding to a halt are rapidly closing. A large part of Russia is flooding and they can't even send aid to the people. Corruption built weak dams and levies that are being washed away along with roads and bridges. In a war, you can't afford to have your infrastructure floating downriver. He can't rebuild it when all his resources are going to the war effort. You can buy a car but it can be months before they send you the engine or brakes. We have to keep the pressure up. Thats a rather optimistic outlook . |

Most of the big name tractor/implement manufacturers failed during that time. Elections have consequences. yup, I lived through it. We lost our 80-acre family farm in Ohio during that time. Just about every farmer in our area went under, even the Amish sold and moved out. When I retired my son and I decided to try again in Arkansas with a new business model. No more mono-agriculture. No debt except the mortgage. We have made it through 3 droughts, a small flood, a shitty economy during COVID and are still growing. Still no debt. It works for us. During that time, Commercial farms grew. USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey data for 2022 indicate that 11.9 percent of U.S. farms are commercial, and 36.1 percent are intermediate. Residence farms make up the remaining 52.0 percent of operations; these are small farms with operators whose primary occupation is something other than farming. In my area, Commercial farms are near zero. It is all intermediate and small farming. Mostly ranching. No one is rich. lol Small produce farms are growing but good soil is hard to come by. You have to literally create it. There is one Tourist farm that is doing well and expanding to diversify. That is a very small niche market. Most small farms are holding on, but land investors are gobbling up land at any price driving up land values beyond what any serious farmer can afford. We bought our ranch when land was cheap still we paid a pretty penny. In 8 years it has doubled to a value of over $900,000. Still not selling. This ranch is for the grandchildren to do with what they please when the day comes. The last ranch sold was 300 acres and no one is doing anything with it. It was bought by a land investor. It has enough timber to pay off the loan but it will take that much to reclaim the land. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By woodsie: A conspiracy presumes a well organized effort by competent people who know what they are doing. The more you get to know actual politicians in real life, the less plausible that seems. Our country is the product of disorganized incompetent self interest. Organized competent self interest is the fictional Hollywood version that you were raised on. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By R2point0: Don't get me wrong - I'm not a one-world-order-bankers-great-replacement kind of guy. But I still believe it was intentional, based on politicians self interest. They do these things to get reelected and stay in power. And they do it with intelligence. Do they also realize the larger consequences of their actions? Maybe, maybe not - but either way they simply don't care. It's just not on their radar. |

This is what happens when your 'leaders' are not serious people.
We could have stopped all of this with high interest rates. Instead, we want to kick the can down the road while screaming about how great everything is. Interest rates should have been 18% in 2022. Sure, a lot of people wouldn't have been able to afford homes until rates stabilized. Instead, people will just never be able to afford anything. |
