This was as predictable as the sunrise.

Bummer we lost but yeah good series. Great idea!

Its like no one can post anything without him ripping on them. I mean i get its a peefoam alias but give it a rest. Sad person i guess

Dude...what the fock is wrong with you

I think an earlier post about this has merit. Just cause we ban "junk food" from EBT, doesn't automatically mean people will eat healthier. There is a ton of crap in your local grocery store that doesn't qualify as such, but will still make you fat and unhealthy. This fix isn't gonna change that. Ban soda. great..Maybe they buy orange juice. Which is so loaded with sugar it will have zero impact on a person's health. Ban twinkies. Ok. Can they buy muffins? Cause those bad boys are so packed with empty calories. I really don't see the improvement with this idea. I'm not saying I am against it, I just don't see it impacting American's health in any real way

Meh...

This is why I am on the fence on this one. On the one hand, I wanna say "You get $300 per month. Spend as you wish but when it's gone, that's it." But on the other hand, we all know there are a ton of crappy parents that will blow that $300 on hookers and blow(like I would) then let their kids starve. I hate hate hate seeing kids get punished because their parents are azzholes.

I'm starting to think so too. I think it's a parody. And not a very good one. She gave it away by saying she lost her food stamps and her husband told her "maybe now you'll lose some weight" So yeah, I officially call this one BS now

I apologize. I just looked up the video. It wasn't $1,800 a month. It was $4,000 a month. This was directly from her mouth. She's being lowered from $4,000 a month to $88/month. This can't be real. I'm thinking she misspoke. I think she meant $4,000 a year? 333 or so a month. That makes way more sense. God sometimes these rabbit holes....She also has a video complaining that her nail salon will no longer accept her EBT card for services. I swear to God.

I saw that...Wasn't she getting like $1800!!! In food stamps? That's what stuck out for me.

This inflation/tariff correlation has me poking around. Poland has an inflation rate of 5.3%, yet they follow the EU's CCT...and their average tariff was 2.03% across all products. Sooo....again.....I'm missing the correlation here.

Damnit Tim. So were you lying? Why would you post that if it wasn't true?? GRRRRRRRRR

Tough one for me. I can't quite decide where I stand on this. So what I'm saying is I didn't help this thread at all.

As much as I can be an a-hole to Tim.....I'm not doing that here. He said "Seriously? India has one of the highest inflation rates on the planet: " Since I didn't know anything about India's inflation rate, I was curious. So I looked. And I see about 5% for the past 10 years or so. Is 5% the highest on the planet? Or one of the highest? What am I missing?

See? That's not hard. And I can 100% respect that.

600 POINTS!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! 1% I suppose if I had 100 singles, and I lost one in the wind on accident, I might be a little bummed. Not sure it would cause panic for me however.

It's not your fault. That's my point. And that's what I mean by you not being able to think on your own. I'm genuinely not blaming you wholly. The media is powerful and they have you...hook line and sinker. So when they use words like PLUNGE and CRATER..you repeat it, spread it and panic over it. Your apology is accepted. I understand you don't totally have control over these matters.

Again...is 5% inflation rampant? I mean it isn't great I get that, we'd all like inflation in the 1-2% range. But 5%? What are we talking about here? Also, you're making a correlation between tariffs and inflation which of course you have no evidence to support. I mean it's your opinion, fine, but to use terms like "it's safe to say" is incorrect. If you just changed it, stopped being so damn arrogant and said "I believe it would be lower" people might dislike you less.

That's terrible.

The parrot comment..Mr. Doesn't-pay-attention. Was for this you wrote: "It is the fear of inflation that caused Walmart to issue dire warnings and caused the Dow to plunge" The DOW did not plunge. And as I have shown, if you stay off CNN, and go to a less biased source, you get headlines that contain words like "slid" which is far more accurate.

I am not totally understanding this. On the chart I pulled up, just googling, India's inflation has been around 5% since 2014. Are we saying this is out of control inflation? And is the OP saying the reason for this 5% is solely cause of tariffs?

Remember.....and it's important to remember this. Tim isn't doing any of this. He's parroting the media he consumes. He cannot under any circumstances reason things out on his own.

Now here......An article about the same stock market today. notice the difference in the headline?? No fear mongering, no panic. Gee....What a difference eh? Stock market today: S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq slip as Walmart sinks on cautious outlook
