This economy is so bad

It was the democrats that claimed the 2016 election was rigged after the fact. It was kind of a big deal. The claim remains. 

Trump claimed the 2016 election was rigged before it was decided that he won, and he said he would only accept the election results if he won.  Democrats accepted the results and handed over power without breaking into the capitol.  They do not claim that they won 2016 like Trump and you claim he won 2020.

Correct, as already posted from multiple news sources....hell, even MSNBC allowed this evidence on the air waves.....do you realize how bad it must be if MSNBC is allowing this to be reported?

Is this what you keep yammering about regarding MSNBC?

1.  This is only comparing the Biden vs Trump years, I didn’t see anything about it being the worst of the lower classes lifetime

2. It’s not MSNBC saying those things, it is some dude fact checking MSNBC although he is correct

To the people saying why are we talking about 2008, RLLD has now made the claim that the current economy is the worst of the lower classes lifetime across three different threads. It’s not like he just made one passing comment, he continues to repeat this ridiculous notion and has yet to provide any evidence to back it up other than “because inflation.”

Never claimed he won. I said it was rigged. Because it was.

Government hiring spree propping up the US job market

State and local governments are helping to fuel job growth.

Public sector jobs at the federal, state and local level rose by 194,000 during the first three months of 2024. That accounts for about one-quarter of all jobs created in January, February and March. By comparison, during that same time period in 2019 before the pandemic began, government hiring represented just 11% of all jobs created.

Boyo, high Fed rates means the economy is booming.  Rates near zero, like under Trump, means the economy is flatlining. 

Current rates are way more normal than the zero rates under Trump because the Trump economy sucked.

If gas prices naturally fluctuating a dollar breaks your budget then buy a bike.

Me, I’ll continue to enjoy the fruits of my amazing choices in this red hot economy.  Thanks to Joe I’ll be able to retire whenever I want.  My 401k has exploded, my wages up 35% in three years thanks to the red hot job market and my own carefully acquired skills.  Literally life on easy street thanks in part to Joe fixing the disaster left by the orange moron.

The Financial District and South Beach, which generates the most sales of tax of any district, saw revenue plunge 38% in 2023 compared to 2019, a loss of nearly $16 million per year adjusted for inflation. Last year’s revenue was down $2.7 million compared to 2022. Nearby South of Market saw an even steeper 42.6% drop between 2023 and 2019.

In hard-hit downtown, many census blocks have lost more than half of their sales tax revenue compared to 2019, and parts of Mid-Market have seen drops of over 80%.

Egan said he believes there is still a low risk of recession, but recovery from the pandemic remains “elongated,” with the return-to-office rate stuck at around 45% of 2019 levels for the past year.

Less inflation and lower interest rates will help lift the economy, he said. But a federal report this past week showed a 3.5% consumer price index increase in March compared to the previous year, a larger jump than expected. That will lessen the chance of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

 

The city’s sales tax weakness “is not just a downtown problem, this is a (broader) economy issue,” Egan said.

 

The article also cites tech layoffs in the area, crime, homeless, and drug use are also pretty big drivers of the issues the city has, due to people leaving, etc.

Shocking cultist Karen is pointing out a failing of Trump.  His horrible handling of the pandemic led to extensive WFH opportunities and crushed the commercial real estate market.  It hasn’t recovered because educated people like me like to WFH so commercial real estate stays vacant.

Thanks for pointing out yet another failing of your master Karen.  The broader economy however is the best of our lifetime by any metric.

Sorry that hurts your feelz cultists.

Have you checked your 401K lately? My Roth IRA (Large Cap Growth Mutual Funds) is down 4.2 % since last week. That's a big loss.

I just made some changes. I'm in four different mutual funds and had most in the best two but those two are performing poorly recently so I put in a request to change (which will take place tomorrow) to 25% in each of the 4 instead of the heavier weighted 35 / 35 / 15 / 15 I was doing.

Don't check your 401k weekly, and don't make changes based on a week's performance.  It is a tip.

Just dandy

The U.S. economic boom is "unbelievable," Dimon said at an Economic Club of New York event on Tuesday. "Even if we go into recession, the consumer's still in good shape."

Still, he warned about the potential economic effects of the rising national debt, inflation and geopolitical conflicts.

Dimon, who has run the largest U.S. lender for more than 18 years, has cautioned that inflation could be more persistent than expected, keeping interest rates higher for longer.
