    Inflation now officially over 3.1%

    Underlying US inflation accelerated in July to the strongest pace since the start of the year, though a tepid rise in goods prices tempered concerns about tariff-driven price pressures.​

    Basically Trump has reversed the post pandemic reduction & sent careening towards way above target, while also crushing employment.

    Hard to do!

    LOL you don't even know how to read the numbers! Today's inflation reading was 2.7%. You have to exclude food and energy to see the 3.1% figure -- and safe to say we all use food and energy. Sam's all turned around on what inflation is... yet we are supposed to listen to his great advice on it!

    Stock market hit another all time high today -- remember when Sam told us to sell our stocks and prepare for a market meltdown? Another miss. Fading Trump seems to lose every time, doesn't it!


    GOOD DAY

    AUGUR: “.. US equities have underperformed the rest of the world by over 10 percentage points year-to-date. This is the worst underperformance since 2009.”

    Lol!

    If your comment is even true (no link), then that's largely because US-listed stocks came into the year riding high after Trump's November 2024 election. The stock market is ROARING and investors are loving Trump's policies and actions -- very supportive for long term growth in employment, real wages, and earnings. All time highs for the indices as we sit here today.

    Oh, and stocks are up over 35% since you told everyone to sell because we were headed for a depression. I am very glad I behaved like an industrialist and doubled down during the media-induced moments of fear! Big gainz. Very big.



    GOOD DAY

    On his wall is the Bismarck, a ship built by Nazis, christened by Hitler, crewed by Nazis, and scuttled by Nazis after the Brits damaged it so badly it was inoperable and going to sink anyway.

    I think we need to reiterate how big freak ass b**** losers all of these Trumpist piece of **** are.

    Just a collection of malformed dorks who you would never deal with if you didn't have to.

    I hope whatever reckoning comes after treats them with the contempt they deserve.

    Sorry society or dei or whatever has not been keeping you down - it's the fact that you suck! At everything! To call people this & their avatars here - @tinman -mediocrities IRL would be a favor to them
