Americans have an attention span of just over four years. After that, everything resets.
We can forget a hundred years of stable tariff policy when a depression and a war hits and tariffs start hurting everyone.
We can forget why we dialed them back in those circumstances just as quickly.
And if Trump turns out to be right now, we'll forget about the postwar globalist religion of unrestricted free trade just as quickly as we swore our undying faith to it.

I'd say that these views are basically correct. How do I know? Because Bessent and Lutnick basically said this in interviews already.
I heard that Powell said that the Fed is not going to lower rates. He's making the same mistake that Roberts is by challenging Trump publicly. In Powell's case, Wall Street is going to do the talking for Trump, and force Powell's hand. We have trillions of short-term debt that Biden saddled Trump with before he walked out the door. This is how Trump takes care of it. Once rates get low enough, watch him offer 50- to 100-year bonds to lock in our debt.
Like I said earlier - Trump has a Treasury Secretary who was one of the best macro traders in the world - Bessent, Druckenmiller and Soros broke the Bank of England 30 years ago. I'm not betting against this guy.

Obviously.
I just mean that we seem to blunder around. We find our way into a good situation or a bad one, and promptly forget how it happened, and then assume it was always so.
The "history started this morning" mentality is a great thing when things are good, and a terrible thing when things are bad.

The 4chan poster was talking about the disproportion of who holds what value; saying lots of people have *some* ownership doesn't make that statement wrong.
Buuuut, I see your point about normal people worrying about their 401ks.... so, since I have *NOT* looked myself, how bad does this compare to say, 2008? or woofloo? Even if it's awful, do you think *everyone* who has bothered to take advantage of a 401k is going to assume things will only get worse?

My Ambient weather station had a little glitch with the rain gauge on Mar. 16. We got about 0.6" early that day. The station didn't register a single trip (0.01"). All other sensors were reading and reporting normally the whole while.
I figured it was stuck, maybe some trash. It wasn't. Completely clean, and the tipping spoon tripped fine, and registered the trips with the console as normal.
It's being behaving normally every since. Don't know what the heck that was. I'm wondering if it was some electronic fault.

That was such an awesome episode, especially with the local sheriff whose constant obscenities were bleeped out, and the surprise Alex Trebek cameo. The character was so popular that they brought Jose Chung back for Carter's other series, "Millennium," in an episode called "Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense." In that one, Charles Nelson Reilly is teaching a class on writing and keeps getting death threats in the mail. When Frank Black asks him about it, Chung says "I know it can't be one of my students." Frank is puzzled. "Why?" "Because they actually did the required reading assignment." Good parody of Scientology in that one as well.

The personal income tax was suggested to stop the political wrangling and economic damage done by the Congress setting preferential tariff rates, it is one of those things that helped piss off part of the country. It was impossible until a constitutional amendment was passed. It was thought that it would be fairer to the general population and only affect the very rich.
It did change the relationship between the government and the voters, in that it moved the curating of international trade to get revenue and relating the general public as voters to please, to pretty much managing the working people as tax cows.
However, we can be of good cheer, only the tariffs that the US sets are actually taxes, the ones the other countries set are "industry and economic protection" and totes cool and permissible

Ok, *that* could make things more interesting, because it seems to me that many 401ks are limited in what participants can invest in (I know they can't be restricted to company stock alone since uh, who was the fck up, was it Enron?).

To me, that's the biggest difference between Trump I and Trump II: Preparation. In 2016, Trump admitted he was surprised when he won. This time, he had a transition team in place in July (I think). This time Trump is prepared. He now knows what he didn't know before. He picked his team early. He's stuck be them all, except for Gaetz (whom I think was a ploy just to get Bondi, but what do I know?). Totally different vibe this time around. And Trump having zero fucks to give does make a difference, too.
If no arrests for anything serious are not forthcoming by the end of summer, then I'll start to bitch. Two-and-a-half months in is barely enough time to get rid of the deadwood, as we see. And the fucking judges with their 'nationwide injunctions' don't help. (Those judges need serious 'conflict of interest' investigations.)
But so far so good. If libbies are pissed, you know it's good.

To be fair, I have been one to make noises about retirement being a rather - maybe not *artificial* thing - but certainly extraordinary thing from a historical perspective. Imagine telling your how-many-greats grandparents about 150-200 years ago that their descendants would be able to save enough money and/or the national government would pay them enough so that they could spend the last couple decades of life ... not working. I've seen it said that 'retirement' in the days of belt-onions was your surviving children and grandchildren.

Only at the very end. The Ptolemaic Dynasty assumed control of Egypt when Alexander the Great died in the 4th century BC.
Before that, Egypt was ruled by the Libyans, the Babylonians, the Kushites (and yes, they were black), the Assyrians, the Achaemenid Persians and actual Egyptians.

I'm saying arrests, not trials. There's a whole Epstein client list just waiting to be handcuffed and perp walked.
Because the arrests I want are for corruption (stealing from the US Treasury as well as judicial corruption) and sex crimes against children, the trials I'm talking about will take months if not a year. It's the arrests that matter at this point. There's so much low hanging fruit. Look at Stacey Abrams. Gets a $2B NGO grant from Biden at the last minute for an org which barely existed for a year and had $100 in assets. That kind of arrest. Trials will be later.
Right now, I want the fear of whatever they believe in in them. Scared. I want people to be paranoid about their impending arrests.

You've got a point, but even arrests have to be backed up with the confidence that they'll lead to prosecutions.

Not quite. You can't give it away within five years of the time you apply. (e.g., you can't sign over all your stock to your kid and then claim to be destitute). Blowing it is okay, as long as it isn't trying to cover up a gift. But yeah, you have to be destitute before they'll cover anything.
There are some (temporary) exceptions to this -- they won't force your spouse out of the family home, but as soon as the spouse dies they'll grab it. With no spouse, they'll file against your estate for everything they spent.
That's how it is in my state, anyway. I think this varies in other states.
I've had the distinct displeasure of handling estates for a couple of deceased relatives lately, so I know more about this than I really want to.
That said, it's opened my eyes to the need for estate planning for my own estate.

Another awful thing about Lost is that they insisted they had a deliberate ending in mine, and in the final episode they more or less admitted they really didn't have a plan at all. Speaking of plans, remember how on the Battlestar Galactica reboot the constant refrain was that the Cylons "have a plan"? Apparently, the writers and show-runners didn't.

The $310/day is after subsidies though? I recently watched someone else go through this, and the nursing home option was subsidized, in-home care was not, even though the actual cost of a nursing home was much higher.

This is crazy. My widowed friend says the nursing home would have been free on Medicare, but in-home they would only pay for a weekly visit from an RN who would do minimal tasks (take blood, change IV and catheter). But the caregivers, which my friend decided to spring for, were all out of her pocket. No one would pay for that. The benefits were all calculated on helping nursing homes, not patients.

I dunno about that one. Inflation is planned because it allows paying todays debt with tommorows "worth less" dollars, which is why they've been doing it that way for so long. The trick is to make money worth less without making it worthless. Quite the head game, and a balancing act they're rather good at. But the one time they're wrong, our dollar collapses, so there's that.
A strong dollar that buys more would likely mean less dollars in circulation, actually making it harder to pay off the cumulative debt.

He is consistent that way, isn't he. Loved Firefly and Doll House, but it was only a matter of time before the Fox curse set in. Whedon, though - this is a guy who shoved James Marsden up against a wall and screamed at him to stop being popular. That degree of weirdness coupled with his predatory behavior eventually reached the event horizon of sustainability as far as his career went.
I will give the guy credit for original thinking - Buffy was wonderfully subversive toward Hollywood horror tropes, and Angel was the closest towards a Byronic hero that Hollywood ever featured. And the narrative arc of Alexis Denisof in that series was nothing short of amazing - from clumsy and prim to one of the meanest, grimmest, take-no-prisoners champions ever to stand against the forces of darkness.

Well, after Alexander conquered Egypt in about 330 BC, and then Ptolemy, one of his successor generals (they all fought over who would control his empire after he died), took over Egypt. He thought it would be the easiest to defend, and he was right. The Ptolemy line (ending in Cleopatra, which was a Greek-Macedonian name) lasted until Rome took it over.

Nancy Pelosi: The average MFN tariff on Chinese goods coming into the U.S. is 2%, whereas the average Chinese MFN tariff on U.S. goods going into China is 35%. Is that reciprocal? ... this is biggest and cruelest hoax of all ... U.S.-China trade is a job loser.

The Chicom Honey Trap was getting to be a problem. See Swalwell, for instance. Although, unfortunately, this ban only applies to executive branch employees overseas.
Seriously, the Chicoms were using a lot of honey traps on our supposed stalwart foreign agents and officials.

My Dad is Trustee, I'm the successor. I'm thinking he may be able to add me as a Trustee, seems the only other option is to have him declared incompetent which I don't want to do. He's frustrated at lack of control of anything and aware enough I don't want to do that to him in his last semi-competent days.
