That guy's Twitter section is a pick your holy trinity of awfulness: Christian, conservative, Journalist / Editor, Radio, TV, Pundit, Yankees fan, NRA member, Israel supporter.
Fwiw I also heard that he forced an airplane manufacturer to cut prices by 1.7b which idk may have had impact on manufacturing quality processes along the wat
University of Texas fired about 60 people who worked in DEI roles after Texas passed that law banning such offices on campus Biden's fault probably https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2024/04/03/ut-austin-dei-layoffs-sb17/
“Are they a work terrorist group?” Random guy eating dominoes grills these assholes better than anyone in our media does. All you have to do is force them to really unpack and articulate what they really believe and they just flail before crumbling. Doesn’t matter if it’s a dumbass like Raya or DeSantis running for potus. They have no idea what they really believe and have been conditioned to only provide short sound bites to try and get on Fox News
Decades of slashing newsroom personnel across the media spectrum have contributed to this. Reporters who aren’t adequately trained to ask the right questions (or know how to follow up) and editors that don’t have the wherewithal to challenge their reporters to get more and dig deeper.
Don't forget reporters who keep the most damning stuff locked away so they can try and sell books in a couple years.
they're not allowed to ask the right questions -- because you have shit like comcast and amazon and assorted horrible people owning the media.
Feels like the Trump Crime Family is acting as shadow heads of state. Probably a lot of quid pro quo going on. We should make things like this illegal (lol)
I'm in mortgages. Most loan officers I work with are rooting for Trump to win bc they think he'll lower rates. They attribute the low rates of 20/21 to him, not a pandemic. Rates went up bc of Biden, not bc they were way way too low and caused issues that had to be dealt with under Biden.
Fwiw Trump will lower rates. He tried to lower them even more (inappropriately) when he was in office. And he will do it because he is the one that will benefit from it. It will likely cause an economic tailspin
I mean he pushed for them to be lower prior to the pandemic and they didn't go down. They went down bc of the pandemic, not bc of Trump.
He has but every report that comes out shows the economy is super strong so they keep pushing it back. The 10 year will start creeping down, bc they price in the decrease over weeks leading up to it, and then a report will come out or Powell will speak and boom back up. Last week we got down to the 4.1 range and then he spoke earlier this week and said they aren't in a rush so boom it's back up to 4.3. Hit 4.4 for a minute yesterday. Late December it was down to 3.8 and then all the data came in saying the economy was better than expected and boom back up.
