This felt like reading about someone who complains that The Daily Show doesn't have enough positive news stories on it. Dark Mirror fills a niche that people look for, it's not something that making people think a certain way.

And no mention at all of San Junipero. I guess that would break selling it as pessimism porn when there's examples otherwise.

Attractiveness standards vary of course, so Fox News has certain criteria that they think appeal to their typical viewers.

Other officials commented it was the dumbest idea they'd ever heard.

There was suggestions of also using some cybertrucks in the parade to honor Elon Musk, but that was nixed for fear of them breaking down, losing parts, or catching fire along the route.

Right? It's the biggest circus of all. Do you really want all those clowns looking for something else to do?

This goes hand in hand with a recent

Popsicle: "I'll do it again. Name me after a frozen treat and wonder why I'm so mean."

He should, because he IS!

War, cold war, or trade war? Maybe a mix, like trade war (since that seems to be sticking around) and a proxy war that the US is using to keep the war supply industry rolling (since he had broken all other industries).

Don't forget plenty of other pandemic potentials, especially since the US officially doesn't recognize any problems anymore like climate or pollution or science.

He signs an executive order to change things nationally when all he apparently needed was a plumber.

It's funny that some replies are saying your post itself is too wordy or long. People just can't focus on anything anymore. As for the suggestion of bullet points, I've had people reply a single answer to an email that just had three short bullet points. So no, it's not always because the questions are buried in text, it's because people react to the first thing they see and don't finish reading.

Ford looks to be top in most assembled in the US. However where do the parts come from? To determine the best cost value (ignoring quality) you'd have to break down the import costs for everything based on origin and see which US assembled car is less impacted. Or if it's just cheaper to buy a totally imported car made somewhere else.

That certainly was intentional. It's a no-brainer even for him that when the line is down him backtracking will bounce things up some. Whether or not this whole thing is for that purpose or not, let's just say that as market manipulations go, it's pretty terrible to have to break everything to make a buck.

You'd have to demonstrate that all other countries not only just use metric, but also only sell products that already only have metric on the packaging. I don't doubt dual labeling is heavily a US thing, but I doubt it's only US. Simply to keep packaging making universal. Now that could be altered if such a ban was put in place, and maybe most non-US places wouldn't care too much...but we need a sampling of what's already out there to even say if it's a thing that can be used.

"Things are still going to be expensive for the commons."

Stock goes up

Like I said elsewhere, I don't think this is a total manipulation to increase wealth, but damn if it does show the market is a huge smoke and mirrors and not anything of substance.

It certainly is being used like that for those who are able. I'm convinced though that it's complete incompetence surrounded by people who don't dare say anything negative about his tactics (well, the ones who aren't enjoying it for various things like the power trip, money, etc.). My reasoning - he's not just affecting the stock market numbers, he's completely destroying things that do make the country prosperous.

When a bull storms into a china shop, you don't claim that he doesn't like a certain brand of crystal and he's just knocking them over to increase the value of the rest of the store inventory.

"Soar"

Looks back a month to compare

Falling without style?

Anyone who has to say he's king is no king he knows what the hell he's doing doesn't know what the hell he's doing.

It depends on things like how flexible your investment options are with your 401k program, if yours is through work and your employer also contributes a percentage, and the big one, how long have you been investing and how long before you need the money.

The two best ways to protect yourself from unstable times is through diversification and long range investing. Try to get fast growth in these conditions you're likely to lose. It might be an idea to actually pay someone to help you look at your financial options, although right now even they might be a bit uncertain as nothing happening makes any sense.

Guys. I think he forgot about Infrastructure Week.
