[Pain] HUGE, self-inflicted Recession incoming due to Trump/Musk

The Seattle-Tacoma port is indeed dead. Not a single cargo ship in dock. This is the third busiest port on the West Coast after LA and Long Beach and fifth overall, just ahead of Houston. Remarkable.

 

Well **** me sideways.

 

Trump finally stopped all that trashing coming into these ports.

 

I was in downtown Seattle this past week for work. My office has a clear view of the port.

It was remarkably empty.

 

This isn’t the W you think it is.

 

The funniest thing is the truckers/crane operators who will get hurt the most from these policies all voted for Trump. It kinda makes it all worth it

 

Dont forget @Space Ghost is a self identified "libertarian" who believes that the government should stop Americans from buying goods from overseas lol.

What a utter braindead hack

 

Ooof. Manufacturing numbers from the Dallas Fed.

 

Republicans are an embarrassment.

 

You have to give right wingers @Space Ghost @Salvy @El_Conquistador credit where its due. Do you have any idea how big of a **** up you have to be to have less growth than UK? It's like coaching the 97 bulls team and somehow missing the playoffs. It takes skills



MAGATs seriously did what we all thought was impossible! Achieve less growth and higher inflation than every developed country in the world!

 

[Educational Post]
Let's use this post to get smarter. The mistakes above reflect the difference between being an intelligent, well-reasoned thinker compared to being an emotional, unhinged mistake-maker. @astros123 is clearly the latter. Let's explore a few of the many reasons why.

1) Using poor source data: Goldman Sachs. A group of Northeast liberals. Has never been supportive of Trump. Ever.
2) Mistaking projections for achievements or actual data. The chart posted above is a projection. Meaning it hasn't happened. Astros123 then later erroneously refers to the chart as "achieving less growth and higher inflation". That never happened -- the chart was merely a forecast. From a liberal group. A bad double miss.
3) Using projections but ignoring actual data. The USA's inflation is currently LOWER than the UK's -- using actual data -- not projections. Trump has succeeded in wiping out pernicious inflation. The #1 issue demanded by voters in the 2024 election. Promise kept.

It's just the same mistakes over and over and over again from astros123. Can he improve his critical thinking? Time will tell. I have my doubts. I'll tell you though -- every successful person I've ever dealt with has a level of attention to detail and critical thinking that far surpasses what I've seen from astros123. Every one of them. Use this opportunity to improve!


GOOD DAY

 

Goldman Sachs the notorious liberals who work in investment banking. Hedge funds and investment banks are now liberal institutions according to the MAGA cultists. These morons just make things up on the fly.

Hey dipshit the feds actual data shows the economy is ****ed also.





You cultists are on the path of destroying the economy. You people will leave in disgrace and in 20 years you'll pretend you didnt support him like you do with Bush.

You're a shameless troll with no morals

 

And then after my valuable lesson, @astros123 follows up his mistakes by posting ANOTHER forecast and then a survey! We got a slow learner on our hands, folks! No credibility.


BIG YIKES

 

interesting GS is a bunch of liberals. I just looked up their employees and the companies seperate donations every 2 years going back 6 times for 12 total years. GS donated more to Republicans every time. Their employees more to Republicans every time but once which was 2018.

But cool man GS makes projection models based on their like/dislike of Trump. Tip top analysis!

 

Wall Street does not **** around when it comes to investment market losses. This is where the rubber meets the road.

Wall Street voted for the de-regulation and lower taxes ... got the tariffs that could lead to a depression ... by a reality TV businessman who has bankrupt every company he has run. FAFO time.

These are the same cats who thought they were the smartest men in the room in 2008.

 

During the first quarter of the year, the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) shrank at an annual rate of 0.3%. This marked a significant drop from the 2.4% growth seen at the end of 2024.

the real impact of the tariffs hasn’t even been felt yet
