Doom

[The Seer]

I’d like to think that voters will recognize that 4 more years of failed economic policies, immigration policies, and the continuation of our flailing foreign policy will mean we won’t continue as the country we barely recognize even now. Things will be dramatically worse.

But I see friends…otherwise intelligent friends…who continue to support the disastrous Biden administration. Thus, I do think we may be damaged beyond repair as they will vote again for ineptitude. They simply don’t care about our survival.

And, despite all that, there's some that STILL will refuse to vote for the party that could prevent all that destruction...because personality matters...apparently...more than life itself.

No need. I'm comforted in the fact the voting public won't let that shrew near the Oval Office while the economy, not to mention the culture, are in shambles, and geopolitical tensions are super high.

Biden has already destroyed the economy. The recession is the topper.

Get ready for Grover Cleveland Redux.

You don’t even know what “recession” means.

OK professor, what is your definition of a recession? Try not to embarrass yourself.

I have a degree in Economics and a masters in business, so I'm curious as to how you define it.

Still waiting for Dr. Golly’s definition of “recession.” Are we still in one today?

Just wondering when you were working on your PhD in “Science” did your professor explain how a single cold day in winter would disprove the whole “global warming” hoax?

Since you’re the expert why don’t you give us a lesson. Apparently whatever “business school” you “graduated” from bases it on the stock market falling for a few days.

More deflection - shocker

You claimed we’re in a recession, based on your “academic credentials”.

And I’m deflecting ?

So tell us excactly, based on your high quality education, what is the basis for your claim.

I won’t get my hopes up.

I never claimed we are in a recession now. I just said the recession is the topper.

Smart folks know what I was saying, That's why you and your ignorant liberal beta male companions couldn't understand.

By the time the election rolls around, we will be in a recession.

Unemployment is already ticking up, and inflation and energy costs are still sky high.

You probably don't know that as you probably always use Uber Eats.

Either that or you are part of the elite, and will continue to fiddle, as did Nero.

[Dr_Phibes]

Heaven forbid someone predicts a recession in a doom thread.

Maybe some posters should start their own 'cautiously optimistic' thread, that'll pack 'em in.

Nice backpedal. This doesn’t sound like a “prediction” to me.

Biden has already destroyed the economy. The recession is the topper.

And you still haven’t demonstrated that you know WTF you’re talking about.

Care to try again?

What constitutes a recession? I won’t hold my breath because you apparently are too fucking stupid even to look it up. You haven’t even mentioned the main indicator.

Looks like a buying opportunity.

That gives the RICH people more opportunity to make some money.

Fixed for ya.

I should have known you were a soulless "Rich get richer" capitalist.

So you probably spend all your money each week on beer and fat redneck women. Probably have two ATVs on a trailer and maybe a motor home. Don’t bother to put any of your paycheck away regularly for retirement because WTF you can do that later. You’re a staunch conservative who loves the party of “capitalism” except you can’t stand anyone who has actually practices it. You’ll be even more bitter when you realize that you can’t retire on Social Security alone and wonder how you possibly could have gotten into that predicament.

The one thing you’re actually good at is talking out of both sides of your face at the same time. Why am I not surprised? Useful tfool for the party of Trump.

You're coming a little unhinged here. I must have gotten close to the target.

Tell me again how you support the Party of the Little Guy while simultaneously fist pumping as the rich get richer.

They got their economic edumacation from Doctor Hannibal Lecter. You know, the real one not the one in the movie. The one in the movie isn't a doctor. If he's real in the convicted felon's mind. Who are Trumpers to question the good doctor and his teachings.

This isn’t exactly earth shattering. Not felt here. There was a 5,2 about a week ago near Barstow. Didn’t feel that one either but you could hear the house creak enough to make you wonder if there was a quake somewhere. We get stronger rumbling from artillery practice at Camp Pendleton.

If you want to disagree, take it up with the Federal Reserve. Managing inflation and regulating economic growth by setting the prime lending rate is their primary function.

I know what the Fed does. But you, as is your wont, have completely avoided the main point of my response. Does it have to be either inflation or recession? It seems to me, but apparently requiring more critical thought than you are capable of, that their main task is to navigate a course somewhere between. So I would ask you again, how has our economy managed to exist so successfully through the years if we are, by your assumption, constantly in the middle of one disaster or another? And, if it’s inevitable, why would you prefer one party over the other on economic policy?

doom?

[The Seer]

After a modest bounce-back Tuesday of roughly 300 on the DOW, the US markets look temporarily stabilized . . . While the Bank of Japan suffered a major anxiety attack, declaring it would turn-around the very modest 25 basis point interest rate lift that crashed their markets for three days by 20 percent — and also stated they would no longer even try to raise interest rates again. That means the yen gonna crash — big inflation for Japanese people — so sayonara purchasing power. Bigger picture suggests that a gigantic armature of derivative bets rests on the yen carry trade. The whole thing is a setup for an even worse bout of global financial instability. And just remember: the American on-the-ground economy is sinking rapidly. That’s real business and real paychecks and real trouble.

CHINA DOOM

Dandong, China, has been devastated by severe flooding, which has caused extensive damage. Social media shows several images and videos showing the city’s streets transformed into raging rivers, buildings submerged, and no sign of residents.

The unprecedented Biblical flooding is attributed to record-breaking rainfall, exacerbated by climate change. The scale of the disaster has prompted fears that other regions, including the United States, could be next. Meteorologists and climate scientists are warning that the same extreme weather patterns responsible for the Dandong disaster are forming across the globe. However, they need to talk about journalist Shepard Ambellas and his work, which documents how a massive celestial perturber, possibly 300 times the size of Jupiter, is likely responsible for the devastation. Ambellas claims that the Planet X Nemesis System is approaching perihelion with Earth and that we are likely seeing the onset of the 7-year tribulation discussed in the Bible.

I thinks he's the editor and chief of the website. The article is from the site's spiritual journalist. I thought it might be written by the Taiwanese National Tourist Board, but nope.

The Doom on that site is off the scale, I've never seen so much chaos and destruction packed into so few articles. Doom central. I checked the sports section to see when the Jets are going to fall off the face of the earth and all they cover is Supercross. They're really, really into it. Rosy outlook for Supercross.

Pretty much, yes. The third option is to continue printing $2T a year and hide the elephant in the room until we turn into Zimbabwe. We are so far in debt, yes, those are our options.

Sure, in the past the FED preserved a balance between economic growth and inflation. That was their job, and they did it. Right now the FED will struggle to strike that balance. The amount of currency that's been pumped into this economy is unheard of and it will have consequences. The fact you think everything is fine and will continue to be fine is proof that consequences are pending. Even with spending outpacing income by $2T a year the economy is only growing at 2.5%. Raise taxes so we aren't financing the government with debt and the economy slows. Don't stop the flow of printed money and inflation grows. Cut the flow of new money and leave spending static and the economy slows. Reduce inflation by raising interest rates and the economy slows. Do we slow to a recession? Eventually, yes. Inevitably because...consequences. And you'll blame Donald Trump because the people whom program your thinking will tell you it's Trump's fault.

Trump earned his $$$, and put thousands of folks to work. Biden has been a grifter since he shot out of his mother's box, and Cackles has done her own form of "grifting".

Trump has a pretty goddamn solid business track record, which is something that political prostitute DOESN'T have.
