The Fed waited too long!

Still another item in my series, Stock Market Analysts Don’t Know What They’re Talking About: A few days ago, when the market dipped, it was because investors were anxiously waiting on the Nvidia report, they said. That report was issued yesterday. Though positive, it was not as rosy as the experts wanted/expected. So what happened this morning? Nvidia stock went down, but the market as a whole went up. Go figure.

Trump is weaseling his way out of the debate with Harris. Surprise, surprise.

@Madken65 Yup.

@Madken65 I wonder if that amendment would pass today.

Of course it’s price gouging! C’mon. Why should butter be going up instead of down? The pandemic loss of business is over!

One thing that I’ve learned over the decades is when prices go up for whatever reason, they never go down to the level that existed before that reason became an issue. Folks ain’t gonna boycott butter, or milk, or eggs, or bread. They’re basics. So the corporations know they can get away with it.

What we need is small companies to sell products for less - and make money!

Just saw a bit on MSNBC wherein Yasmin Vossughian went back to a focus group of “undecided” voters who were not excited about a Biden candidacy after Harris became the nominee. Wow, what a cross-section of undecideds. Not! Two actually were wearing Arab/Muslim garb. Not surprising that only one had decided to vote for Harris. And this segment was supposed to tell us what? That Muslims are not happy with Israel’s war in Gaza? That they thought Biden/Harris should have stopped it? Give me a break.

@FrankCannon 😀

Most people who were kids in the ‘50s had IQ tests administered then. Trump keeps calling other people dumb, especially Harris. Maybe the Dems should demand to see his IQ test result!

@danielbsmith The slowly part is obvious. The surely part is questionable. I’ll believe it when it happens. One thing I’d put money on: Trump won’t be going to prison.

@danielbsmith He’s never going to prison.C’mon.

@kismatt Well, he needs to express that better on national TV, then.

@TheresaVermont If Kunce can work to better the lives of Missourians without handouts, more power to him! Just don’t be another Josh Hawley.

@TheresaVermont Yeah, okay. But why can’t senators use their clout to make their states less dependent on D.C.? Do Massachusetts, California, etc. get money “back” from Washington? No. It’s the states who fight the federal government tooth and nail against any reforms that would better the quality of life for their constituents that get this largesse that’s needed because of the policies that keep their constituents in perpetual need.

@051G Yup. That’s how I took it to mean.

@kismatt Yes, Kunce. I hope that’s what he meant, but it didn’t sound like that to me.

@TrueBloodNet Senators can surely tend to the financial well-being of their states. If that means using their bully pulpits to endorse changes in state laws, that’s what they should do. Kunce’s statement strikes me as a pork-barrel attitude toward the federal government. Makes him sound like a Republican.

Wow! Hawley’s opponent for senator from Missouri just said that one of the two jobs of a senator is to bring back money to the state. Really? Bring it back from where? The federal government? Shouldn’t a senator’s job be to make his state prosperous so as not to need money from D.C.? Hawley is a dick, but this guy turned me off with that comment.

On the one hand, Trump disparages soldiers wounded or killed in battle as suckers and losers. On the other hand, his campaign claims Walz resigned from the National Guard because he didn’t want to be at risk by being deployed to a combat zone. But shouldn’t Trump think Walz was being smart for doing that (he didn’t) then? Trying to have it both ways.

@danielbsmith We’ll see.
