Passenger rail in America is seeing the largest expansion in American history. I'm sure right wingers who love rail @basso @Os Trigonum will give Biden the credit right.....?
on the heels of witnessing Biden economic team disproving what was once a generally-accepted economic truth, that low unemployment leads to inflation and guiding a soft landing, in a Sullenberger-esque manner, the prospect of witnessing Biden kicking Trump's azz again, only by a wider maginin 2024 propelled the S&P 500 to an all-time high last Friday today, Dow rises more than 100 points to close above 38,000 for the first time ever The S&P 500 Index tracks the stock performance of 500 of the largest companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States; the DOW tracks the largest 30 companies
Could you imagine if trump was the president right now? We'd be hearing non stop from his MAGA followers how amazing the economy is right now. Inflation fading, stocks all time high, mortgage rates falling, unemployment near record low, factory construction at record high, onshoring jobs from China at fast pace.
@Space Ghost ACA sign-ups up 25% y/y excluding medicaid expansion. More folks have insurance today than ever before
on the heels of interest rate increases, follow by a pause, 2023 began with heavy odds of a recession U.S. growth shatters expectations, boosting Biden’s economic pitch
The U.S. economy grew at blistering 3.3% pace in Q4 while inflation pulled back KEY POINTS GDP, a measure of all the goods and services produced, increased at a 3.3% annualized rate in the fourth quarter of 2023. Wall Street had been looking for a 2% gain. The U.S. economy for all of 2023 accelerated at a 2.5% annualized pace, well ahead of the Wall Street outlook at the beginning of the year for few if any gains and better than the 1.9% increase in 2022. A strong pace of consumer spending helped drive the expansion, as did government spending. There also was progress on inflation. Core prices for personal consumption expenditures rose 2% for the period, while the headline rate was 1.7%. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/25/gdp...point3percent-pace-in-the-fourth-quarter.html
USA economy is growing quicker than china's but MAGA @LosPollosHermanos are still brainwashed about their cult leader somehow having best economy. These folks can never explain how trump was better in regards to anything other than handing out a 2 trillion tax cut for Wall Street and deregulating banks
Batteries in ERCOT have basically taken over frequency control. They're great and we need to keep installing. But no, they did not avert a blackout. The storm wasn't as bad as Uri was and we had enough generation to cover without calling on demand response.
This is what pisses me off about the Dems, they never go out and toot their own horn, the surrogates should be out in force shouting this from the rooftop, you have to counter the lies the gop throw out daily.......hell, hourly most days. And I would be hammering the gop for taking there cue from trump on the border negotiations. Its ok to brag a little, the country hears everyday about how they're not getting the same buck as they did 4 years ago, in some cases its corporate greed. You heard during the iowa causcus all the blue hairs parroting fox about how you just cant make it these days and trump will save them
17% of the generation that Monday came from solar.... if we texas hadn't expanded solar and weatherization their wind turbines we wouldn't have had electricity
One of the strongest growth years of the decade and we has folks in this thread literally telling people the economy was going to collapse cuz of our debt. It's sincerely unreal how some people can be so utterly wrong. @Invisible Fan will these people have any self reflection? I doubt it. Sad
