This. Around 40% of the country isn’t affected by market volatility investments. They don’t participate because they are barely getting by as it is. Fixed income folks—or those living on their own savings right now—are getting hit. Those on medication (typically older, but I’ve read reports that state 70% of Americans of all ages are on at least one prescription) will get an unexpected hit, and insurance costs will drastically rise if this continues very long. As a free trader, that would be my preference. I’ll settle for fair trade. I understand what is being attempted. But, I wish the tax cuts had come first. The blame between D’s, R’s, MAGA’s, Progessives is really silly. We’ve had bad policies from all sides for a long time. The U.S. began its own problem when we moved away from making stuff to simply making money from money. As a big Mike Rowe fan (and a retired engineering person), I wish we would again put more emphasis on crafts, skills, & trades vs. many of the worthless degrees kids are being suckered into now. This emphasis would help our security, economy, and individual balance sheets all the way around. We need doers. Offshoring nor AI can take away jobs that require technical support at location. JMHO

But you recognize the hypocrisy between having outrage over a tampon machine in the boys bathroom because of the message that it sends to the kids, while simultaneously supporting a man who teaches young men to grab women by the p-word, right? If morals and decency weren’t important then, why are they important now? The sad truth of the matter is this-if Donald Trump came out in a dress as the spokesperson for his new “Trumpons” for men, you’d be splayed out on the floor with a mirror trying to figure out the two-part applicator.

🤣🤣🤣 How far will people go to try and justify crimes? Obviously you know this but….. Rittenhouse twice tried to run away and only shot when corned or attacked with deadly weapons. When did the suspect in this case run away and was cornered?

The Big news of the day wasn’t the Market. It was the slim passage of the budget framework—which sets up for ‘permanent’ tax reductions. I also say again: For Trump’s big plan to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., we need an emphasis on building/training a skilled workforce. We don’t have the people anymore. Crafts, skills, & trades. Let’s have some thought about incentives for people to go to trade schools like the $$$ the Ivy League schools get from the taxpayers. Redirect some of the funds going to the colleges now to some form of ‘accredited’ vocational training schools. Numbers I read are we’re already about a million skilled workers short.

Prices bout to go through the roof

How does the best team in the state lose two district games?

Right now….2600. I’m happy for Trump and for America. Even though i no longer own stocks, a good market is good for all.

In a private conversation.......give me a break I dated lots of women in my prime, and playing in a band since I was in high school I could tell you some wild stories of what women LET me do.......but I won't, because I would not want to hurt your "man" feelings.......lol To clarify, I'm still in a band, but have calmed down significantly.......

FB is unbelievable with the excuses and justification. I don't believe it will matter in a court room tho..... Reminds me of the the UHC CEO killer......all the justification for murder.....crazy

He is getting some bad advice that has him comparing apples to oranges. If you want to have retaliatory tariffs against other countries tariffs, fine.....I see no problem with that. But tariffs meant to balance trade balances are another issue altogether. There will be significant cost of living issues. But what about goods that are almost exclusively made in China......for example, almost ALL day-to-day medications are made there. Think about what this tariff will do to the price of those. What about thousands and thousands of companies that have goods "on the water" that have been 100% paid for with letters of credit. Effective today, the price doubles because of tariffs.......and China will not be paying those. Thousands and thousands of companies are going to lose mega dollars on goods that have ALREADY been sold UNDER CONTRACT. Again, this is not good. Yes, I know that, as supporters and believers, you want to defend this and "argue for America", but there is a lot beneath the surface that will hurt everyone of you if this matter is not resolved sensibly. We all can agree to disagree. However, seniors and the less fortunate are suffering.

Aren’t you supposed to be doing your patriotic duty, aka gratefully watching your 401k balance disappear?

Ball Game BH wins 6-3 Ned - K, Pop up,Put out Ned @ BH on Friday

no doubt....its like that with most jobs

The suspect has hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from people supporting his innocence. Pitiful. What would happen if the races were switched. There ya go! Race shouldn’t enter into this, but it always does.

McElroy finally breaks through.

No… you have an egomaniac who’s all action, no plan destroying our economy.

the misinformation is appalling. The defense of his behavior is appalling. the complete fabrication of what happened to justify that defense is most appalling. A kid murdered another kid for telling him to leave, and possibly grabbing him by the shoulders. Many on the internet blame the victim. It's insane.

Welcome back Coach!Look for significant changes to the program,he is a players coach and will bring a ton of excitement.

The haters are too stupid to figure this out. He is an advisor to the President who was elected in a landslide. Funny when George Soros and the other communist/socialists/lefties bought their way into the Biden administration, all was good.

Yes. Several games have been moved up to Mondays, back to Wednesdays, up to Thursdays and back to Saturdays to accommodate the shortage

You have been seething to post this all morning. It took WWII to end the great depression. Nothing else had an effect. Roosevelt’s New Deal had very little effect. The tariffs didn’t cause the depression, they just couldn’t save it. You should talk to anyone who survived this terrible ordeal. You might even learn something real, not just headlines. Of course, you would probably thumb your nose at them since you disrespect the elderly so much.
