That idea of turning empty downtown office buildings into apartments sounds good except who's going to live there and where will they work? The offices are empty because workers are working from home as well as the cities are dying.

You're not going to have retired people moving downtown, nor those stay at home workers, it's going to be welfare people, immigrants, and other bums, packing thousands and thousands of unemployed people into converted offices will not make things better, it'll make things worse.

Then you might say, well they can commute to the jobs in the suburbs, which is really dumb because then they shouldn't be living downtown.

However, as increased mining difficulty pushes smaller miners out of operation, mining difficulty could be 20% lower than originally estimated, bringing down production costs. With less support in the lower bound, investors may see Bitcoin’s price drifting back toward $42,000 after April, the strategists wrote Thursday. JPM

To a Sponge Brain.


Electricity costs have also risen significantly, increasing cumulatively by 25.1 percent. This is the largest price increase of any of the last seven presidents — and yet Biden decides this week to clamp down on natural gas.
In terms of gas price inflation, Biden is at 35.1 percent and Trump is at 10.9 percent. Food inflation — Biden 20.1 percent and Trump 4.7 percent; and, finally, electricity — Biden 25.1 percent and Trump 2.2 percent.

social security and medicare is not capitalism.

"Inflation at a 3 year low". What a joke. Of course it's at a 3 year low NOW because it's been so bad for the last 3 years. Prices of everthing are far higher than they were in 2021.

The myth that the CPI represents the increase in our cost of living is why the Chapwood Index was created. What differentiates it from the CPI is simple, but critically important. The Chapwood Index:
    • Reports the actual price increase of the 500 items on which most Americans spend their after-tax money. No gimmicks, no alterations, no seasonal adjustments; just real prices.
  • The inaccuracy of the CPI began in 1983, during a time of rampant inflation, when the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics began to cook the books on its calculation in order to curb the increase in Social Security and federal pension payments.

Dems don't care about the middle class. Now they are the party of liberal elites and the subsidized poor.

first of all, please do not conflate stocks with trump or any GOP or DEM candidate.

stocks and bonds and treasuries etc all rely more on the FED than anything.

so you will want to know that. besides, if political parties influence stocks so much, then go look at the last 125 years,
stocks have gone up more under DEMS per capita than under GOP in that time. go look it up. the numbers don't like.
but it is because of The FED so Dems should not take credit.

re the Dobbs decision overturning Roe, this is the single biggest reason the Red Team did not dominate the 2022 Midterms,
not winning the Senate majority and barely getting a slight majority in the House.

and now MTG is destroying the Red Team even more by going after Mike Johnson after McCarthy was already taken down.

The Blue team is a mess but they are together.

The Red team is a mess and they are splintered.

The Blue team will win again in Nov 2024.
