If Mort Divine ruled the world

The majority of this country seems to be completely ignorant about anything that isn't their immediate bubble. It is a huge problem.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has made it clear that, with the House having impeached Donald Trump, she’s in no great hurry to forward the articles of that impeachment to the Senate. Which makes perfect sense. On the other side of Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has not announced even the broad outlines of how Trump’s impeachment trial will be handled. If Pelosi routes the paperwork his way now, it could either join the 300-plus bills already gathering dust on his desk or be directed straight to a paper shredder.

In other ridiculous claims:

Let’s recall: Trump aided the efforts of a foreign power – Russia – to attack and undermine America’s 2016 election in order to help himself win; Trump publicly asked Russia to hack the emails of his campaign opponent, which Russia did later that very day;

It's hardly "hacking" when it's unsecured, and what's this "which Russia did the same day" shit, as if Russian operatives were waiting breathlessly for Trump's directive? You have all of this conflict of interest with Hunter Biden and his connections via daddy Biden, but Trump is "abusing power" by mentioning it, as if there's no questions about conflict of interest or abuse of power with the son of the former VP getting all of these jobs working with foreign corps.

I don't even give a shit about the party specifically, I give a shit about the people individually. This is why I stan Tulsi and hated McCain, for example.

yea i read about this yesterday and just shook my head. But hey, like ive said numerous times they're only continuing to dig their own graves with this kind of shit. Even the average simpleton is realizing what's going on here. Looks like they're even losing support amongst democrats ...

:lol: they're foaming at the mouth so hard that they dont even see what they're doing to themselves, but hey im happy ... ive been saying it for years, they're going to destroy themselves with this type of mindest, and that is exactly what's happening. Cant wait until trump landslides and molliwops whoever they try and prop up against him.

I don't even give a shit about the party specifically, I give a shit about the people individually.
Yeah same here, i think people who blindly vote for a certain party are fucking sheep. That being said most of the people ive agreed with are usually on the right, and most of the people and ideas i cant fucking stand tend to come from the radical left. I also like Tulsi, i think shes the only decent human being on "their side" and definitely the only one with a backbone.

Foreigner is surprised to discover that the US isn't only comprised of California and New York. Just like Californians and New Yorkers got surprised in 2016. She handles it with much more grace.

This is related to the other conversation, but separate enough to move it here: The broad dismissal of "experts". I follow economics, and while I'm no longer a pure ancap, I'm certainly not accepting of accepted opinions in macro. I also no longer accept simple micro explanations. Why? prediction accuracy. The same reason I don't listen to Alex Jones, or other conspiracy peddlers. A broken clock can be right twice a day. Forecasters should reach or surpass this mark. Many forecasters considered experts do not, in any meaningful sense. The NYT is a joke for many reasons, but one of them is the continued promotion of one Paul Krugman. This man has made a career out of being wrong.

It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover?

Frankly, I find it hard to care much, even though this is my specialty. The disaster for America and the world has so many aspects that the economic ramifications are way down my list of things to fear.

Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.

The final sentence is a stupid statement on its face. At a minimum, markets would recover under some other administration, even if simply factoring in inflation. The preceding statements are cringeworthy partisan hacksmanship. This man is one of the "elite". How can we take him seriously? How can we take the rest of them seriously? This article is on the heels of predictions that such an economic collapse was certain under Trump. It was post-ceded by declarations of economic collapse in tangling with China. Of renegotiation NAFTA. Etc.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/opinion/trump-economy.html

As recently as October, Krugman tried to sell a temporary divot as a crater and a portent of impending doom. Our "elites" laid bare.

https://knoema.com/jhxfibc/dow-jones-industrial-average-historical-prices-2007-2019

Of course, this is only one example, but it's an egregious and easily visible example. There's no difference between Alex Jones and "the elite", other than the particular brand of snake oil.
