I do seem to recall he was sounding an alarm way back
Powell is still resistant to doing whats needed
Bottom line:
Do you think hes right, right now?
i see huge storm clouds on the horizon
From CNN
European Central Bank to hike rates for the first time since 2011 as inflation hits new record
https://fortune.com/2022/06/09/larry-summers-cpi-flaws-1980-inflation-severe-recession/
Larry Summers may be right since the fed has a poor record of reducing inflation and a great record of causing recessions lol
I agree
Aside from The StLouis and San Framcisco chiefs I think Biden is putting heavy pressure on him to hit the rates harder
If I see a 75 basis point hike Im not going to be shocked
And the slug in Mississauga still doing business as usual
That does it for me - Must be an FBI Confidential Informant
Still, Im glad they are getting these varmints off the street so to speak
Strike while the iron is sill hot
the 30 year fixed mortgage is double what it was a year ago - price of materiaals going way up - this will have a huge impact
the next fed meeting is next week, the only question is how much they will raise the interest rates, i guuess that depends on the CPI which comes out tomorrow 8:30am i think andhow much pressure Biden is putting on Powell
Powell is dovish and wants to go slow and achieve a soft landing Stlouis and san Francisco Fed Chiefs are hawkish they were pushing for 75 Basis point hikes
We shall see what happens
lol no need to apologize
you live in this country and are part of the landscape
its a wacky place but so is the rest of the world
nothing wrong with that you cant avoid the political shit
and we are better off talking to each other than demonizing each other
Good guess. I'm 70 a Democrat with liberal tendencies that is also a realist. This country is basically which swing to the left or right depending how the wind blows.
People on the far left and far right are simply delusional. Biden won because this country got tired of Trump's tweets and his big lie did him in.
Yeah i agree my friends are in that group but you old fashioned free thinking liberals have ideologically nothing in common with a much younger crowd that is statist in outlook
You guys didnt like"the man" or authority these young ones worship the state, they dont have a freethinking bone in their bodies. You guys were rebels - these guys take pride in being good little sheep.
You were defying authority these young idiots throw a tantrum when someone disagrees with them
I see no hope until people realize that they will have to agree to disagree and that dialogue is the only way out, and on that score I have to say that even the maga people are much more willing to listen than those on the left who seek to silence free speech, shout people down or use idiotic terms like hate speech, microagression, safe places to not engage with (horror of horrors) people who disagree with them
Like who?
Im all ears?
I know why i like DeSantis and why i dont like Trump and those two are the only possibilities on the republican side
On the dem side there are more but most not very good
Im curious if i have missed someone on either side?
We have to move on All that shit was 200 years ago
Otherwise we will end up like Pooty craving crimea instead of ice cream
Joe? Seriously?
I think you hit the nail on the head lol
The russian anthem has the same music as the soviet did and Pooty is trying to reconstitute the USSR as a counterweight to that extremely undemocratic authoritarian euSSR
you know the massive French/German EgoTrip masquarading as an economic union
And as I stated I live in rural new york t where everyone has a gun and a lot of people dont even lock their doors EXPLAIN THAT! No shootings stabbings muggings I know Janice probably thinks thats boring
If this keeps going the way it is there may be no grain production at all
Meaning the point will be moot
If you disagree then Im guessing you are like my Democrat friends meaning you are older. but the Dem party platform is what it is and they show no signs of changing.
I just got this from CNN's website Don Lemon's show
https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/07/politics/primary-elections-june-7-california-iowa/index.html
They are behaving like savages
But this war will play itself out over months and maybe even years and I predict that Pooty will have a much stronger hand when the weather starts to get cold again
Heres an article that will give you some sense of what Im talking about
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/02/germany-dependence-russian-energy-gas-oil-nord-stream?utm_source=pocket-newtab
Half a century later, in 2020, Russia would supply more than half of Germany’s natural gas and about a third of all the oil that Germans burned to heat homes, power factories and fuel vehicles. Roughly half of Germany’s coal imports, which are essential to its steel manufacturing, came from Russia.
An arrangement that began as a peacetime opening to a former foe has turned into an instrument of aggression. Germany is now funding Russia’s war. In the first two months after the start of Russia’s assault on Ukraine, Germany is estimated to have paid nearly €8.3bn for Russian energy – money used by Moscow to prop up the rouble and buy the artillery shells firing at Ukrainian positions in Donetsk. In that time, EU countries are estimated to have paid a total of €39bn for Russian energy, more than double the sum they have given to help Ukraine defend itself.
In arguments that echo today’s debates, the US ambassador to the UN, Jeane Kirkpatrick, complained: “We consistently find in our talks the allies are already significantly dependent: France for 15% [of its] gas, Germany for 30%.” Schmidt assured the Americans that Germany “can go six months in the event of a Soviet cut-off”. The forecast now is that, in such an eventuality, Germany would have to go straight to a form of energy rationing.
I need a source for that "slavic culture that originated from turkic culture"
slavic is a linguistic/cultural term that has ties to iranic and indic on one side and germanic, kektic, italic, baltic and hellenic on the other side.
I dont believe tukic has any ties other than the fact that the russians particularily in the east have mixed with these folks
I will give you my view on the south so there is no misunderstanding
I used to hear from these idiots in the 80's "the south will rise again" and i used to tell them " and the south will get the shit kicked out of them again" just a bunch of cowardly racists. Period.
But this was almost 200 years ago and what the Dems are pushing with the Woke BS is divisive and its actually transforming the Rep party into a much stronger far right activist party So good luck with that strategy. I think you will be shocked when all the Midterm results come in and even more shocked when Trump wins in 2024 Im not a big fan of his but he does have the inside track and according to Vegas bookmakers he is the favorite. I prefer DeSantis but i live in MAGAville and Trump still has the base. And the RINO/Establishment Reps have Lynn Cheney who will get maybe 17 votes. Dems have nobody Joes gonna a have a record. Harris has nothing other than that insane and inappropriate laugh and I suppose Hillary could run again and lose again, so whats the point? Obama could run but after 4 years of Joe I dont think he will want to. So Trump will win again and young liberal women will scream at the sky https://www.newsweek.com/americans-scream-helplessly-sky-donald-trump-election-anniversary-690889
Thats easy.
Their lefty teacher will read it to them.
I went through the Public Education system in New York in the 70's and I really can't seem to recall any conservative minded teachers
One particularly irksome teacher i had was my English teacher an Irish American woman who loved the Soviet Union I remember thinking, what does this woman possibly know about the Soviet Union and the Communist block. Frankly I think she should have kept her mouth shut out of respect for her overwhelming ignorance.
Thats why I think its important to actually speak to and listen to people from that area otherwise you will end up believing a lot of nonsense spewed by idiots who think they know what they are talking about.
You said "Turkic" thats why i said what I said, Im not that well informed on them other than I think I read someplace that they were a fiercely independent folks.
Dont tell Pooty he might declare himself Tsar lol
And yeah the organ harvesting from people was documented in an EU investigation
Bad place CrimeOutfit/NATO Base masquarading as a country
The Democrats in California And New York are letting criminals out of jails.
guns are not the problem in rural New York where I live
no stabbings shootings or muggings
but it was the Democrats who pushed the bail reform laws and now the situation in nyc la and sf is totally out of control - if you are a liberal then your eyes are closed, period.
what is going on in these cities is not normal
and hollywood has been pushing drug use in movies and by example actors using and od'ing on drugs for decades
schools - kids cant read and write but they know thar Heather has 2 Mommies and now WOKE = White People Bad Opressor Black People Good Victim
Why do you think Democrats are getting so much push back?????
Not entirely
They did get their asses kicked going after Zelensky in the capital
looks like they are doing ok in the east, and my guess is they will hold more than 20% three months from now
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko thinks they still want the capital, the government and Zelensky. I may only be an armchair Quarterback but I agree
My guess:
They will consolidate the east 3-6 months and by November they will move on Kyiv again - the rest of Ukraine is unimportant. If the capital falls that will break the Ukrainians spirit.
Keep in mind that gas deliveries to Eutopean countries will take on much greater meaning by late Fall
actually i listed joes accomplishments in post 200743
please feel free to let me know what you think
is that in the northeast?
just for the record i dont like pooty
but i do think that contrary to popular opinion he did think this adventure through
im shoced that nobody chose to dispute the list of Joes's accomplishments i listed in post 200711
shocked i tell you
not now but at some point both pooty and zelensky might go for it
ok the russians are going to fall apart any minute now
ok here it comes
ok one more minute
any minute now
lol
please dont take what western analysts are TOLD to write as gospel
I gotta disagree.
we now have DNA tests
if there is anyone with non-white background its the Russians and not the Ukrainians
Even without DNA a quick look at a russian face will show you he is a mongol/caucasion mix
those slanted russian eyes dont lie
I looked at the builder sentiment index - down 5 months in a row
real estate is slowing down in a very big way
northeast only bright spot and that is down as well
CRASH COMING BUCKLE UP
Not just my opinion
Very objective stuff
Those tried and true old fashioned values that Liberals love to mock actually worked and worked for a reason
agree and disagree
politicians dems and reps are all slugs
trump another slug
BUT im talking about the culture the dems/left have been pushing on americans for 70 years plus now thru hollywood, media, academia and courts and legislatures
pro family destruction, pro drug use, pro crime! yes pro crime please take a good look at la sf and now nyc - i have democrat friends who are horrified and say they will vote for Trump! i kid you not
I got a text from the NY Daily News - Poll 75% of new yorkers fear they will be victims of violent crime!
I will put my cards on the table
Im hoping DeSantis gets in - i just dont like Trump BUT despite that fact I was forced to admit that when he was in office things were a LOT better
Lets look at Joe and the Dems
Border - Disaster
Crime- Out of Control
Inflation - Out of control
Economy - Stalling
Gs Prices - Insane
Ukraine - I support Joe but when the Orange Guy was in charge Pooty stayed put
I would give the russians donbas
BUT the rest of ukraine joins nato
otherwise NO DEAL
Strange is one thing. I think maybe "King Zog" who sounds like a character from Ghostbusters is strange,
But kidnapping people, killing them and taking their organs is just plain Evil.
We have them in NATO, why exactly?
Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Its like we have no standards at all.
A general lack of values and moral compass by folks who usually identify as Liberal
didnt we bomb -accidentally of course - the chinese embassy in Belgrade during bill clintons glorious war against the serbs?
and speaking of that war-which i foolishly supported -we now have the dubious honor of having Albania and Kosovo as allies
Those two countries are known for kidnapping people and selling their organs (there was an official EU investigation that was swept under the rug) a thriving sex trade of women and girls, thriving drug trade, and of course questionable islamic activities such a planned terrorist attack on the Israeli soccer team and the distinction of being in the Top 4 of European countries to have sent recruits for that wonderfully peaceful Religion of Peace organization known as ISIS
Now they did erect a statue of Bill Clinton in Prishtina so i guess everything is hunky dory
Personally and in retrospect I think we should have sided with that Commie thug Milosevic Decidedly the lesser of 2 evils
i think the man was delusional
what an utterly useless war based on the false domino theory
and for that 57000 GIs and 1.3 million Vietnamese had to die
INSANE
but in all likelihood something will have to be worked out, that is if we dont want years of conflict that will kill lots of innocent people
lets not forget that before pootys special invasion thousands of people have died in the Donbas since 2014
but i would make the russians pay a price though otherwise a wrong message would be sent
I dont believe that being liberal and decadent makes one sophisticated
just like pushing harmful social ideas on society is not progressive but actually regressive
i think its high time to start calling people out on their warped opinions of themselves
yeah let me pick some flattering label and attach it to myself - never mind that im a blathering idiot
- a high IQ makes you intelligent
belonging to certain political party does nor
