Powell going to try to have his cake and eat it too? These next few economic numbers need to stay ambiguous because the last producer and service inflation numbers indicated pent up pricing pressure about to get laid at Joe Consumer's feet. Fed better cut because AI euphoria ain't gonna be 'nuf.
Man, these Evercore guys must be geniuses. Or maybe just have any modicum of common sense since tariffs were never part of any peacetime Presidential authority. The real question is, "what will the Supreme Court do?" That is, "how corrupt/rotten/gutted is the top?"
Too many functional brain cells = OUT!!! www.npr.org/2025/08/27/g...
My daughter is autistic. For the sake of those born and unborn, I hope this goddamn idiot has truly found a 'cause.' If I had to bet, I'd put pretty much all I had on 'not a chance in hell.'

So I shanked him and stole the dough. Amen, brother.
Are Kid Rock or Scott Baio doing these things anywhere?
As a Bostonian and a Red Sox fan, I say Roger Clemens is an A-hole who quit on his team, cheated and whored himself out to win a ring. Remember, kids: you, too, can be a friend of Trump if you abandon any premise of moral character.
I'm confused. Wasn't it all those things before Newsome took over?
Yeah, deficits don't matter. Ghost of Dick Cheney is here to haunt your dreams. bsky.app/profile/unle...

We need more white papers so the Fed can pretend this doesn't matter and start cutting rates.
Debtor country, declining/aging population...40 years of going nowhere
I can't wait to join this rarefied list
I want some of what they are smoking finance.yahoo.com/news/us-debt...
Dropped on head as baby
They should sue. And appeal until they reach the Supreme Court. For God's sake....this is America!
Don't they already have computers? Why does anyone think 'more computers' will solve any problem?
And I thought she was looking at baby pictures on Instagram
You subtracted the decade of deficit spending, no? How about the moral corruption that has led to the tech bro oligarchs, crony capitalism, and political duplicity we have today. When they write the book on the fall of democracy in America, they will site the bank bailouts of 2008 as the Rubicon.
This tidbit is illustrative of the entire Microsoft experience for the last 2 decades.
Profited from???? Holy Moses. 2008 bailouts were the most expensive and poorly executed fleeces of the American taxpayer in history. Government investments in private companies are not only illegal, they are unjust. As an American taxpayer, if you want to invest in Intel, buy the stock.
Man on Fire
More zits, really bad/fried hair and cigarettes. That's how i remember it. And trash all over the place - this is a city, right?
Nerds never get over being spurned by the cheerleaders. Never. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Looks like Al Qaeda training to me
Done
Where are these illusive 'true independents?' What is their native habitat and where do they find their food to survive?
Fire whoever compiled those answers immediately
They were right not to care
That is Zuckerberg's spawn stuck to the side of their heads
Trump now acting as a secretary; setting up phone calls. He'll vacuum, set out cookies and make tea if they decide to meet. Cross your fingers!
Let's....not do that
They want to make sure the dog whistle is heard clearly
This is why they need masks; they're committing crimes
We've done this to ourselves
The 'sense' is caused by blatant criminal activity at the highest levels that is engaged in with impunity. It started with the bank bailouts in 2008/2009 and has gotten more insidious each passing year. Trump's election might be the blow-off or it may simply be the point of no return.
Taking pride in stuff you didn't create is the 1st principle in the tech bro playbook. This is how they do it:
Everything I have ever learned is a lie
Touche. It might be the first thing that came out.
You're right. Probably not much. No self respecting writer.... Aw, hell. I forgot who we elected President. All shame in society went out the window when we decided to go back to that well.
A million monkeys banging on typewriters. Got a feeling Shakespeare will fall out of there eventually but we will all be drowned a thousand times over in the shit that comes before; we will never see it.
PSA: Just called regarding some fraudulent charges on my credit card. Representative tells me that fraud has gotten so bad since the pandemic that she "checks [her] transactions every day." EVERY DAY! If you aren't looking at your statements monthly (at least) you're surely being robbed blind.
That is so it will be easy to reverse when the Orange Clown goes back to the Florida swamps for his 'final reward.' Will be like it never happened.
Bitch blinked; again.
Bitch blinked. Again.
Here's is final decision: bitch blinked; again.
Shhhhh...
"Treasury secretary Scott Bessent will serve as acting commissioner [of IRS], making him the agency’s seventh leader this year." Are you telling me you put a hedge fund manager in charge of.....tax collections?!?
You question your AI Overlords? The audacity!
Sounds lovely. How do I opt out?
I used to watch 60 Minutes and 20/20 religiously. They used to do great journalism and break news and make a difference for right and justice in this country. I flip by them now and think, "These shows are a god damn disgrace."
It's also a good day to die
Kill the messenger. Just like in 'olden times.' www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/t...
Actual jobs 10% of what government claimed. Lies, lies, and damn lies. www.axios.com/2025/08/01/j...

Ooooh....what will our orange king do?
China knows. TACO.
TACO
The only trade deal that matters, really
What employees?
There At least somebody said it
Or laundry detergent! Who is huffing laundry detergent??
They're taking all the good drugs out of medicine. They should just start selling cold medicine labeled "Placebo."
We are already living under an authoritarian regime. It is, however, unclear whether this is led by Trump or soccer moms.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... "As part of the campaign, American Eagle is releasing “The Sydney Jean” made in collaboration with Sweeney, which features a butterfly motif on the back pocket." Wow!!!! That's innovative!
Inflation just hit America for reals....
"For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing." I'm not clicking on or reading #Fortune articles anymore. Fool me once.....
Jesus....DOGE recommending child labor to cut government spending now?
To the woods?
Pretty soon you won't remember how to wipe your ass
Why? Seriously.
must have killed all the problematic people
wonder harder
'ends' of what?
looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking
Cowards wear masks
Jeesh.....this guy likes to swear. A lot.
Animal has been working very hard to improve his writing, to be more expressive, and we are all so very proud of him
Get AI to write it. Did AI write this? Am I AI?
Aw, hell....
No more AI generated mini dogs, please. It will make me think the technology is useful.
This is almost as rare and certainly just as mindbending
So the place can turn into Venice?!? Don't tell us....please.
...while you still can #panicworld
Amen
No cap
As opposed to Silicon Valley VCs?!?
Getting a little ahead of yourself, Gavin
The way government spends money, probably won't have much impact. 500 employees. Tops.
That ship has sailed
We forgot schoolyard rules. It's how all the nerds got so uppity, too.
This will not be a problem as I have never even considered using Etsy
The celebration continues following Big Beautiful Day [is it officially a holiday yet?....oh, 4th of July is taken? Really?!? Well, we'll just have to see about that!]
