I disagree with your post. Cutting rates two months before an election doesn’t affect the election much. The only effect that would have is that credit card users would see a lower interest rate in the last couple of weeks leading to the election. I guess that could swing a very small number of votes, but if that was the intention, cutting six months out would be the best policy. That would allow time for mortgages, and business loans, to go down and for that free money to become stimulus for the economy.

The notion that the Fed should have cut rates more by now seems missplaced to me. I could easily be wrong, because there is a lot I don’t understand about economics, but we are seeing robust growth in the economy and higher inflation than we’d like. Why cut rates in that environment? It seems to me that inflation would explode. I felt the same way about Biden’s trillion stimulus bill; it was throwing gasoline on a fire. This would be too, imo.

That man can die happy knowing he made a real difference in this world! :cheers:

Buddy, the fraud was largely being swept under the table until now. Now it is being exposed by a kid on X. That is what the legacy media should have done years ago.

That has more to do with Mondo not maxing out when he breaks a WR.

I wasn’t thinking of Mondo in particular.

He risks being the Right’s RBG if he doesn’t.

In poke vaulting , the wind outdoors plays a big factor. It can help you or hurt your performance. Same with all events including sprints , long jump, high jump etc. Then factor in heat , rain, cold and outdoors is a different animal.

Oh yeah, that’s why the records are so different. :lol:

The answer very well might be Mondo, but the number of world records is meaningless. He has set the world record in one track and field event. The reason he has 14 is because he gets paid for each one, otherwise he would only have two or three. His accomplishments are much better described by how far he has advanced the record and that his biggest jump is repeatable.

Imagine if the NFL kept separate records for indoor and outdoor. It makes sense in longer races because the turns are more of a factor, but in straight sprints, and events like pole vaulting it’s a little silly.

I’d support the impeachment if Trump steals Greenland from a sovereign peaceful nation.

Damn good, imo.

I wish he hadn’t shot his mouth off about Canada. We’d have a conservative government there now.

I hate the approach he has taken on Greenland. I can’t think of much else to criticise him for other than meaningless talk.

On the good side:

- He has finally forced allies to pay their fair share of defense.
- He has also forced them to rejigger trade agreements that were unfair.
- His tariffs are forcing certain strategically important industries back within our borders.
- He cut taxes in a productive way (not just extended the previous cuts).
- He has handled foreign policy in a smart way. He has clearly learned the lessons of Iraq, and he is striking to discipline leaders rather than trying to force an ideology on them.
- He has destroyed woke
- He has destroyed the green scam

I’d call that an A+

Is that the same as per capita?

Let’s talk about per capita.

What’s your implication? That black people commit more crimes per capita than others? We both know that, but it is not germane to this conversation.
