The markets outstripped inflation. Wages did not. The 4.7% is great until you consider inflation was 6.8%. Unless those wages are inflation-adjusted (which I doubt).

And I have addressed the "who has been charged with crimes?" question many times -- Democrats don't get charged with crimes because we have a banana Republic, two tier justice system in the United States. Democrats don’t even deny anymore that the Steele Dossier was fake and that was knowingly and willingly used to persecute their political opponents.
if you oppose the Democrats, they will sick the FBI or the IRS on you. Now that is a subversion of democracy.
What's the fact that the Capitol is a "public building" got to do with anything? Is that somehow supposed to mitigate what happened?
Injuries to the police officers? Once again, penny ante shit compared to the sum total of the 2020 BLM riots.

The markets are in excellent shape. Which is great news for many of us. The small business owners who didn’t have an employer-matched 401K plan, on the ofher hand, are fucked. So are Zoomers and Millenials. Don’t really give a shit myself about that last group though. I’ll gladly cash in my wealth redistribution checks from Gen Y.Last edited by Hannibal; January 7, 2022, 04:45 PM.

With 68 new record highs for the S&P 500 in year one of Chairman Poopypants, I'll take more of the same please.
A crypto crash will only affect those idiots that invested in tulips in the first place.
Boomers are cashing out. I've moved 80% of my retirement out of the stock market. At the end of this year I'll do the same with my personal investments. You can't time the market but you can lock in profits. Statistically the year following a bull performance returns about 8%. Its a good time to be approaching retirement.I don't watch Fox News for the same reason I don't eat out of a toilet.

BTW, I'll take a steady 8% in the market. It isn't going to keep going up 20+% forever.
I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

Crash's favorite auditors, the Cyber Ninjas, have disbanded and may declare bankruptcy after an Arizona Judge found them in contempt and ordered them to pay $50,000 A DAY until they turn over the documents he had demanded they release. The very same day they disbanded, seemingly in an effort to dodge the fines and avoid turning over any documents. It's got even the most hardened MAGA fans wondering if it was all just a big scam (SPOILERS: It was)

Having now rewatched the Supreme Court hearing on vax mandates...I can say with certainty that Justice Sodomayor is not only a nutjob...but dumb as a bag of rocks. How the hell did she get where she is. Kagan and Breyer aren't much better and Roberts seems middle of the road. You know damn well if the court packing happens (I don't think that happens but...) but there will be more Sodomayors coming in the future if there is a D POTUS...fucking scary as hell.Shut the fuck up Donny!

Sotomayor is bad. Just a terrible questioner. She speechifies with nary an iota of interest in asking a real question. Kagan is usually much better.
I’m not sure how they’ll rule after reading the transcript.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.
