Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Under the previous administration, we saw the highest inflation in four decades—and people feel it every day in housing, vehicles, and basic goods.
• Sure, the pandemic didn’t happen and even if it did it had nothing to do with inflation.

@Anna- yes, for sure. She had the opportunity to stand there and say that unless they extended the same treatment to every other state she was having no part of it. Instead, she is just another facet of the slime that governs us from DC.
This is a fascinating topic and it would be great if we could have an in-depth conversation by some posters who are qualified by background, experience or training in the relevant areas.
@Mark said to @FD1000- " I really hope that someday one of your children or god forbid grandchildren look you in the eye and ask what you did while all of this was happening just so that you could have more money. If I had to guess, you'll lie."
FD…
Well, that didn't take very long:
Trump and Musk’s feud blows up again with threats of Doge and deportation
Reignited quarrel centers around Musk’s opposition to the president’s

I pretty much agree and really hope that @DrVenture is right on this. Musk is financially very vulnerable to Trump's vindictive actions, and he is going to fight for every inch of renewable-energy related issues.
@FD1000 says, above, that "the biggest inflation in 4 decades... was created by the worst prez in decades."
Five independent AI databases were asked the following question:
Was the Biden administration responsible for higher levels of inflation fol…
May I point out that @FD1000 regards concealing this vital information from the citizens of the United States as merely a "pendulum move to the center".
Trump and his sycophant disciples are destroying the very heart of the United States, and peopl…
@Anna- Speaking for myself, your observations are correct.
However, unlike FD1000, we are absolutely not at ease increasing our wealth at the expense of those who already have much less than we do.
@FD1000- You are quite correct that every Dem you know is so mad when it's not going our way.
HEAR THIS, FD1000: "Our way" is not predicated on taking yet more from those who have a lot less than we do. "Our way" is predicated upon caring for the …
OJ: "It seems to me that absolutely none of that is of the slightest interest or importance to FD. As long as he can count his money he's happy."
FD: "I stopped counting; I have plenty... I worry a lot more about my fellow Americans that have su…
@Crash- I'm not sure about that. They had a lot of knowledge of and experience with conscience-less, criminal rulers. They did their damnedest to construct a system with two other branches that had the power to check such an individual.
Unfortunate…
I certainly appreciate her spunk, but what a slender reed to lean on to save us from moral and financial disaster. We now depend upon one lonely woman to restrain Congress and the "president'? Six members of the judicial branch have insured no help …
"My guess is that Trump loses interest in a year or so, after a few questionable "deals", and calls it a day, basically moving on to other inanity."
Sounds about right.
@yogibearbull- I dunno about that link that you posted up above... something about a com/post thread just doesn't smell right. On the other hand it is a stable-value situation, so maybe it's just normal.
I'm certain that any of them would "outperform" him easily, but then so would many of the contributors here at MFO. Unfortunately the question is finding someone who can overcome the morons who voted for TACO.
He was a truly remarkable intellect, and he gave us insights and knowledge that we would likely not have considered otherwise. Thank you, and may you rest in peace.
