They only have the attention span of reading a headline and then, not actually comprehending how stupid they sound.

So what? You claim the wheels are coming off, because you have NO CLUE about economics. You should stay in your lane, and talk about stolen elections and scary brown people.
Fossil fuels are finite. We will have to transition someday regardless - and probably in the next few decades.
The time to start that process is now - changing our infrastructure, and accelerating development of wind, solar & the rest. This isn't a partisan issue.
The truth is that economic fundamentals are very strong.
Interest rates aren't historically high, or even close to it. Hell, in 1996 a 30 year fixed was eight percent and no one batted an eye. Consumer spending HAD to slow, it was and is causing inflation, which is almost certainly coming down. And despite all that, we are not seeing ANY job losses, and we are seeing wage gains. So what seems to be happening is that we are returning to a more 'normal' economic cycle without the wild swings of the past couple of years. We are certainly not facing anything like 2008. To the contrary, we are seeing job gains. We are reducing yearly deficits by a huge amount. A mild recession doesn't mean that fundamentals are not strong. Recessions are inevitable. The idea is to mitigate the peaks and valleys, and it appears to me that's exactly what we are doing.
In actuality, the four things you cited are not separate, they are basically the same thing. Higher interest rates.
Ironic. Enough said. You seriously need to to gain a much better understanding of economics before you come here and start your idiotic threads.

9 million new jobs since Biden took office, and reports today that earnings and growth is exceeding expectations.

Oh, no. Republicans are in mourning. All they want to do is tear this country down and rebuild it in Hitler's image.
Leave them alone

My stocks have gone up in value the past 2 days.

I'm feeling pretty good so far.

Voters are going to see that happening as well. Sorry, to rain on your death-wishes.

Thank you for reminding us that not only is Biden doing reasonably well, but he is doing well in a time that everyone else is doing poorly.

No. Liberals would show record profits as evidence of price gouging during hard times.
What we see every time there is an economic downturn.

The market is typically in inverse proportion to the well-being of the average consumer.
In the midst of all the screeching, I'm earning much better money on my idle cash now, and it will only get better next month. Which is nice for people who are tired of being forced into the market when interest rates are zero.
Bonds are suddenly a viable option again.

You do realize that the trump era multi billion dollar giveaway to the Market came to an end recently?
Are you in favor of the taxpayer propping up your 401k?
Low wages push the market up further. Which do you want?
Please come down off of the fence.

They're whipping that horse hoping it will get them over the Nov. 8 finish line and to a majority in both chambers.

Inflation is about the only negative indicator affecting almost all of us. That, too, will ease once the supply and demand situation evens out.

This from a master of projection
They are still in denial, reality will bite their arses soon enough though.
The reality is we should have been in a recession that was undeniable to everyone but we are pushing it off by draining the SPR. Im not against using the SPR but we are at the stage where we have less than 400 m barells left and if we continue using them at the rate we have it will be about 4-5 months before we hear statements from the US military itself warning us we wont be able to use any more without compromising national security and even if we ignore that we are about a year out from draining the entire thing.
This would have been ok if we had used this time to boost energy production. Instead we have a situation where we are facing another energy crisis as we have less than 25 days of Diesel fuel left in the country and have begun diverting ships bound for Europe to the US.
It's almost like accelerating the development of domestic alternatives and getting away from foreign oil might be a good idea.

It's almost like accelerating the development of domestic alternatives and getting away from foreign oil might be a good idea.

The SPR was NEVER intended to be used as a political tool for an idiot President who has done exactly what he said he would do to oil and now sees a red tsunami coming as the result of the inflationary increases it has resulted in.
Wow; tsuke is paying attention. So, what do you think is coming WHEN this diesel shortage hits?![]()
