Feels weird to say this but we’re lucky his only Actual, Consistent Belief is a catastrophically stupid economic one.

He could have done literally nothing and just turned the fascist screws while inflation fell and growth hummed along. Scary part is that it’s still on the table.

Can’t decide if we should hold our fire for 2026 or just aim to keep a constant stream of wretched economic vibes going the whole time. Current admin seems to be helping with the latter.

Bro is absolutely scheming. Up to no good. Charging up his super saiyan transformation.

Very torn. I buy some of the credit access point.

But having met people who take these deals, it is hard to come to any conclusion other than “they are Very Bad at Math and are being exploited for it.”

Very strange that we fought a global Cold War to stave off the specter of Communism but also adopted top-down central planning for land use at around the same time.

Seems like a problem that we already can’t control the AIs?

Could the Federal DOT just override local objectors and fast track construction?

And then whatever the lawsuits are can be adjudicated but only after the fact. So litigants may end up w/ monetary awards, but no injunctions or delays. Just a fantasy or is that doable?

Blue states live up to their potential challenge (impossible)

Skeptical on that last part—it’s immoral but I think focusing on the tangible economic pain it will cause is usually more motivating to normal people who aren’t paying close attention.

What are young people going to buy these cheaper assets with? I’m interested in the young person’s SP500-uncorrelated portfolio.

If rates go lower, do prices take off again?

Or is that countered by rising supply (of homes for sale) as some owners who locked in lower rates now feel like they can move?

Working the refs clearly an effective strategy here, hard agree.

Problem is more that the median voter probably doesn’t read anything at all.

White chocolate feels like libel or copyright infringement or something

Pelosi was extremely effective compared to any of her contemporaries, for many years. I have always found the critiques of her a little odd.

Same problem when a niche subreddit blows up.

I always thought people who complained about that were just trying to be hipsters or whatever but once I saw it with my own eyes, it really did suck.

r/me_irl was unique and weird and hilarious, now it’s just a generic meme sub. Tragedy.
