Walmart started this shite when they started building superstores on the edges of small town USA.


My town had four grocery stores and a fairly decent downtown when Wal Mart first showed up in the late 80s.


Now downtown is nothing but little one man shops, a co-op for hippies and vacant stores with Wally as the only grocery store.

Friend,

It truly boggles the mind that big government interference in our free market experiment is being championed by those who claim the mantle of conservativism. Can you imagine the atmosphere among such people if a Democratic president chose to anger our allies and install taxes through executive orders, setting the economy in free fall? Interesting times.

Yours,

Boomers nearly destroyed the country, short term (few years) pain to right the ship is necessary. Boo hoo if their retirements are impacted

Since the Boomers first started voting in ~1970:

Median household income went from $10k to $80k (8x)

National debt went from 357b to 37 trillion (100x+)

Median home price went from $23k to $420k (18x)

Median car price went from $3500 to $49k (14x)

Friend,

Everyone is aware of your mastery of Greek, so we will chalk up

as careless redundancy. Still, let us try to clean simple errors.

And how on earth do tariffs and restricted free trade fix this problem? We aren't putting the genie back in the bottle and go back to 1950.

Middle America isn't all of a sudden going to start working in mills and factories again. We have to raise wages in a post industrial service-based economy somehow.

When 3rd world countries eventually stop making all our stuff, it's just going to be robots doing that work instead.

I’m curious who el Gaucho really is.

It’s an entirely different posting style but I can picture it being someone like Maximus just fricking with people.

A few years ago the owner forgot he was on el Gaucho and posted a serious post on here

All good man, the guy that couldn’t make a casino work is fixing the economy.

Seems more like a guy with first hand experience in debt restructuring might be capable of understanding the advice from his Treasury Secretary.

What effect do you think these shenanigans have on 10 year Treasury yields?

Isn’t it true that if rolled into 10-yr bonds, every 1 basis point drop in rates saves approx $1B/year?
