Jim Brockmire

He was hired by the Chicago Fed in late 2022. Before that he worked for the Obama admin (both terms I think) so that's probably where this clip is coming from. I saw him in an interview a day or two ago on CNBC Squawk Box. Joe Kernan (CNBC employee) asked him a political question. Goolsbee said he couldn't answer because it would be political and Kernan opined that he missed the days when Austan could be political like in the past.

Remember to take these bots/Russian propaganda with a grain of salt around here. Do your research if you are ignorant on a subject. I was only able catch the bot this time because I saw Goolsbee refuse to discuss politics in that interview this week.

Winner winner ?????? dinner.

Y'all are NM illiterate like most of the country. I've lived in ABQ for decades so I'll clear some crap up... ABQ and Santa Fe is half the state. Whites are slightly less than Hispanics in population with a sizable native population. Maybe a 40-45 whites/40-45 Hispanics/10-15 Natives /5 percent black/other. NM was conquered by Spain before the pilgrims arrived in the 1500s... I have Hispanic friends who's families go back 14 generations in NM and Indian friends that go back thousands of years. Racist whites get chewed up and spit out in ABQ. There is not an illegal problem here, despite what is assumed. Probably because our Hispanics are vastly different than other Latino communities and they would find it hard to get along. Latino cultures are more diverse than Anglo cultures, despite the common language. NM is the only state with two official languages, English y Español. Even ABQ whites take pride in that. NM is a fairly immature state in most things except racial and cultural inclusion. NM is actually very mature in cultural awareness and cohesion. Each of the three main ethnicities keep the other in check. I would guess 4 out of 5 whites here have Hispanic blood and vice versa.

NM was the only western state that anglos were never able to steal away the land from the Hispanics like in AZ, CO, CA, NV, TX, etc. All government documents/courts are in Spanish and Hispanics outnumbered whites so they often kept their lands by simply being aware of what the Europeans were doing. NM has it's own food, culture, and people. Also, cartels actually ignore ABQ (for the most part). There is multi generational cartel control here that wants nothing to do with the big cartels moving into other parts. NM is off limits to them due to this old control. You either go west to Tucson, east to Dallas, or north to Denver. ABQ is left free.

Trump's visit... there's about ten times the chance of Hispanics getting in mass open brawls with rednecks from Clovis, Portales, Cruces, Farmington, etc. during trump's visit than NM flipping red. Trump is come here to excite the race divide, not to win the state. He's trying to start a race war. That's evident to anyone not white or voting for him.

Y'all really have no clue what y'all are talking about when it comes to NM... Just like no other state understands the rich cultural history and differences of Louisiana. Now imagine the LA state constitution and current courts were also in French... imagine how many of our ancestors wouldn't have lost their land from English speaking anglos. Imagine how entrenched Cajun culture would be still to this day.

NM is the oldest region of America. The day the pilgrims landed, there were traders renting hotel rooms in Santa Fe along the biggest trade route in the western hemisphere... Mexico city (Tenochtitlan) to California. Y'all really don't understand this place. Trump can't win... he's coming here to start shite... that's how he rolls.

True, but tribal leaders who were responsible never thought that the term of indebtedness would last for more than a handful of years. They never thought it would be for their entire lifetime, much less all their decedents.Selling slaves was common in Africa at the time and it was always for a minimal amount of years... then they were freed.

Project 2025 calls for all wild horses and burros to be jailed and slaughtered for roaming wild. Surely this can't be that big of a deal...

He needs to realize that he will not be an NFL middle linebacker and stop making Middle linebacker happen. He is a strong safety/nickel/STAR and that is where he will play in the NFL.

This right here... Personally, Perk reminds me of the college version of Brian Urlacher from the Bears... In college he was really light (I think like 210 lbs) and the coach of the UNM Lobos made a position for him called "lobobacker." It was a hybrid safety/linebacker position. This was all under HC Rocky Long at the time. He used to play out of a nickle defense and the fifth DB was the Lobobacker position.

Watching LSU it seems like the Star position in the LSU defense is similar to this Lobobacker position the Lobos used to use. I definitely remember Brian Urlacher being really light while in college but he still tore it up. He became a top ten or so pick and he gained a ton of weight while in the league and moved to a more traditional Middle Linebacker.

Are you worried that kids might actually learn the uncomfortable truth that white people owned slaves and that systemic racism has been a part of our history. Newsflash: Teaching kids about the realities of our past and the ongoing impacts of racism isn’t the same thing as indoctrinating them with some advanced legal theory. It’s called education. If you’re scared of kids learning the truth, maybe that says more about you than it does about the curriculum.

Amen. Well said. :cheers:
