Posts: 2831 | Quote: SOOPOO Quote: GenoDRPh Quote: fleaswatter Quote: missedhervee Too bad...asphyxiation would suit you. per google / AI: I asked: "does the economic output of blue states exceed that of red states?" The response: "AI Overview The total economic output (GDP) of blue states generally exceeds that of red states due to their larger populations and concentration of high-value industries, but red states have shown stronger recent growth and outperform in areas like lower costs, while blue states often have higher incomes and better long-term positioning despite facing higher expenses, leading to a complex economic picture with varying performance indicators . Total Economic Output & Income Blue States Lead in Total GDP: Blue states, with about 54% of the U.S. population, produce roughly 59% of the national GDP. Higher Incomes: Blue states typically have higher median household incomes, driven by urban, tech, and service-oriented economies. 
Instead of taking the "easy way out" and relying on inaccurate "AI" generated information, I actually did the calculations. Using YOUR image to define red and blue states and using actual state-by-state GDP, found HERE, the REAL figures are as follows: RED states produce 51.2% of total GDP BLUE states produce 48.8% of total GDP So if by some chance your "AI" generated population information is correct, that the Blue states have about 54% of the U.S. population, and based upon my calculations, produced only 48.8% of GDP, it shows that the blue states contain a bunch of slackers. In other words, RED states produce more GDP per person than BLUE states. Prove me wrong. I again will not be holding my breath.
if Red states as such a paragon of fiscal responsibility and the economic powerhouses they claim to be, how come they are net receivers of Federal tax dollars, while Blue states are net payors of Federal tax dollars? https://www.moneygeek.com/resources/states-most-reliant-on-federal-government/
Because Red States representatives are better than blue state representatives. Both sides try and get as much for their states as possible, just Republicsns are better at it than Democrats. I think McConnell was considered the best. (I also remember Pelosi getting high marks for diverting funds her districts way.) How much money will we be saving with the closing of outdated Washington FBI headquarters? (Cue the libertards bemoaning the janitor losing his job…)
The only reason the FBI is supposedly saving money is because Donny foolishly and cruelly shut down USAID, leaving its building vacant. |

Posts: 22938 | The issue of whether Trump trying to prosecute Jerome Powell or fire him, is not the biggest problem. It's the toady he's going to try to get to replace him. He interviews them. "Are you going to do what I say," is all he needs to know. I don't think Trump represents the Republican elephant so much as its butthole.

TDS showing. The Dow dropped .83% yesterday. There were around ONE HUNDRED FORTY such days during the Biden Presidency. All part of the expected volatility of our zany stock market. I’m looking back for your blaming Biden, but back then you seemingly chose not to. You don’t think it will go back up when we mop up this military operation? How many more ‘Trump made it go down’ and subsequent reversals do you need to see? |

It's funny, I can't remember if it is you. But, I think you. When the market would go down under Biden, would talk endlessly about Biden being responsible. When the market went down under Trump would make posts that the market is way overvalued and needs to crash anyway. But, this is a rare circumstance of a President actually effecting a market. This is a war Trump chose, this is not a nuanced multilayered economic circumstance. So, yes any result of the war good or bad, is 100% on Trump. This is one of the most cut/dry situations where you can point blame on one person. |

DOW would be hitting 55k with Harris as President We should be in a golden age for the economy No tarriffs, no war in Iran, immigrants keeping the US economy humming with low cost labor for construction and food production I own XYZ stock. They are banking on AI as all companies should Trump is doing all he can to wreck the global economy with tarriffs and war |

Golly. Trump must not be President today. Because the market soared. Took a whole day to rebound. I actually agree with you all that that one day drop was due to the perception of bad Trump stuff. But the markets then realize that us bombing Iran does not change how many chips Intel will sell, or how many backpacks Walmart will sell, or if Tesla will sell 5 more cars than predicted. Ed’s delusional ‘we’d be better with Harris’ posts are so easy for him to post. (Thank God!) it can never be proven wrong. I must remind the audience…. America was so afraid of a Harris/Walz administration they elected the worst presidential candidate in history. Think about that. |

Since you can’t remember if it was me, how about not guessing? Find a post of mine you don’t like and quote it. I think it was a day or two ago I posted on WoV that the stock market rarely makes any ‘sense’ and gave the specific Nvidia example. I don’t ’credit Trump’ for the market going up. I credit it not being Harris, and more so the perception of the left moving Democrats policies that are now blocked. Recent example of why the Democrats are plain bad. Sanders and a few others have proposed stealing 5% of all billionaires money and sending checks to their base. $3000. Not a one time 5% theft. A recurring yearly theft. Not a tax on income. You own it. We want it! |
