They could be, not sure how we might harvest that detail....but back to the Hunter case.... this is IMHO mostly just a waste of time at this point.

It has been a very long time, the DOJ ably inhibited prosecution of Hunter for a long time, and I am honestly surprised it ever came to this.

Yeah, if that is your source of economic guidance, good luck...right?

I would marry into it....sh!t.....I want some shell companies too, funnel some money to me brother....

This. What ever beef he had, this was not the time or place...or manner...of dealing with it.

I will, and thank you for the mostly respectful back and forth. I managed to learn a thing or two from my research, and learning is the key to understanding.

You have grown....metaphorically....

Beats me. I think its mostly bullsh!t. I think it was bullsh!t when Hunter was gifted a free pass originally, and I presume the main reason they go after him now is in the hope he flips on Joe, which is silly...he will never flip on his dad....so this is all just insipid nonsense. Who cares about Hunter, he was the focking bag man, I want "the big guy"

Tell yourself what you require sport.

I am happy to conclude the discussion, but prefer to not be rude by ignoring your response. Again, I am satisfied that you now understand that your initial assertion that corporate greed was a factor has been suitably refuted by the Fed.

I think we have to wait. Tax cuts are not usually an immediate outcome kind of thing, it can take years to really measure their impacts. And honestly, they are brutally hard to predict..... The markets being in constant evolution I am often surprised by the outcomes over time. I would not point to any point in time when assessing the impacts, but instead look at a 5 year trend.....JMHO

If I might, I would discourage responding to an immature raising of some specific instance of obvious racism with your own. You are playing checkers with this kind of trite nonsense.

Just try to grow from this point. The most important thing is to first avoid the false information (in this case corporate greed being a factor), because then you can later arrive at the actual causes and not waste time whining about pointless elements that do not help at all you are doing pretty good, keep it up

My favorite Phillybear post was when he referred to Sarah Palins "retard spewing snatch"......

I concur with the Fed;s analysis that it is not a factor, if you dispute this perhaps you should reach out to them and urge them to reconsider.

As I have stated repeatedly, the article refutes your inclusion of corporate greed as a factor, it does not assert that it does not happen, just that it is a factor..... your pulling back on it is good enough for now. its progress for you

As I stated.....repeatedly.... you never said it was the sole cause, and I never suggested that you stated it was the sole cause....but you listed it as a cause, and it is not.

Not at all....that you would seek to now pretend you never posted it from the start is enough for me. Now....armed with this, please reach out to your local representatives and ask them to stop lying about it....because lying about it is much worse....as when they lied about the presence of inflation.....people might make financial decisions from those lies....and that is very bad.

Oh man, some of these choads are going to hold considerable consternation that you sought this out.... I delve into it in several threads.... Here Here Here Here Here And a nice follow up to my original posting about it from sux Long and short of it, I will over simplify here.....though if you get the urge to search, you will find considerable content. The community reinvestment act of the late 70's was plucked up by the Clinton administration, they expanded it to increase the home ownership of people who could not afford homes and in the process perverted the market.....sound familiar? Then later, Greenspan fiddled with the rates to such an extent that the banks created CDO's and with that the destruction of the markets....

You did, it was in your post. I highlighted it. Now if it is your move.... at this time.... to suggest you did not make that assertion. Fine. I accept this maneuver as a retraction of that posting.

Not exactly, but you are closer than you have been in the past. Making stupid mistakes makes your life harder. Later, when things do not go well.....your life will get....wait for it......harderrrrr So, if the government does something stupid....which it invariably will....and they...oh I dont know....foment extravagant real estate prices that create a chasm between intrinsic home values and loans....and then that all comes crashing down on your investments....should you cry like a little b!tch about it, if you supported that market change?

I did actually, and you seem to not understand it. I already noted that I was targeting the inclusion of a single factor, when you then trotted out the " but I said these other things too!" ploy....and I reminded you then, as I will now, I am not speaking to those others.....ignore it again as you see fit and pretend I did not do so.... Then you went and found the outlier element, which of course exists.....as if to say "see!! some do it!!" and demonstrate your further ignorance as if to suggest that the occasional outlier must confirm that corporate greed is the source......and later....when some liberal does something bad....you will pretend "oh, well its not that common so its no proof!!" You see, your logic is malleable. The report confirms what we already know, the wide spread pain of inflation is not corporate greed at all So yet again, you show the lack of comprehension of macro economics that defines liberals....and ensures stupid policies fan inflation

In 2019 on 27 million 4473s filed there were 478 people were reported to federal prosecutors for lying on the form and making a false statement in a firearms transaction record . Of those 298 were actually prosecuted. So when they are caught prosecution is rather common. Where you are actually correct is the law that bars users of illegal drugs or drug addicts from possessing a firearm. fewer than 150 Americans are prosecuted for that crime each year. But I am gratified that you can at least recognize spurious prosecution, even if only where it suits your political bias

I did, and I also understand you cannot accept what it asserts, and that is fine.....though your insistence to ignore what it states is hopefully isolated more to people such as yourself....though sadly I think politicians pervert it for their personal gain, and you just latch on to that....rather than be philosophically honest

That is exactly correct! Too many people do not understand this simple concept! Now, as a result of their stupid choices they live in a place where policy decisions that are also rather stupid hurt them disproportionately.
