Well, Pakistan just attacked Indians in Kashmir, so not real surprising.

What's the calculus here? Make universities kiss the ring? Strangle research into curing diseases...but why?

It seems running a trade deficit like this forever would eventually be a problem, but maybe not?

Ah, there is the main reason for bad GDP numbers. Obviously still self inflicted. As you stated, we sure do love that cheap crap from china. And corporations are just trying to fulfill their wishes with increased imports.

I'm thinking that it's a flex simply for the sake of flexing. "I'll cut off your cancer research just to remind you that I can do it if I want to!! Kiss the ring!!"

Donnie Two-Dolls. That would be his mafia name. That's who our president is.

Don't worry though, we are going to re open Alcatraz (that will take care of our debt) and take care of the film industry next.

Wait, are you saying you know something the rest of the world doesn't know?

International stocks are up 10.5% for the year, and 12.6% over the last month.

Hmmm, I guess the rest of the world doesn't watch Jim Cramer.




Fucking rookie....

Cute. Someone thinks stocks are the indication of whether an entire global economy has been disrupted or not. lol.

Speaking of rookies.....

Yea, dumbass, if the economy was crashing, so would the stock market. Pretty sad that has to be explained to you, but then again...

No, that's not how the global economy works. May want to do some actual research..

Forecasts for Global growth have been revised markedly down since the numbers that were predicted in January.

Hmm now let's see what has happened since January?

I also never said the global economy was crashing, but nice try at putting words in my mouth. I said radically disrupting the global economy.
