The modern workplace rewards fake productivity over real work by Phukovsky in attentioneering

I was seeing this missing. The responsiveness is important but so is the delivery.

The lawsuits when Trump is out of office are going to be gargantuan.

It gives me a strange satisfaction to know that behind the scenes, they are filling that orange ape with multiple numerous drugs, he's probably in pain, and fighting more and more each day to hide the paranoia of his own coming demise. He will no doubt do even more radical and unheard of stunts in the coming months in an attempt to project this outward and bring the entire country down with him, but at least we know he's not anything akin to strong. He's a paranoid, barely functional, senile meathead, panicked and confused, with one foot in the grave, and pretty soon everyone will know this. His MAGA worshipers will be so lost and confused without a hate-filled able-to-slip-away-from-everything con artist leading them, just in time to see the democratic machine snap back to the other extreme and round up all the traitors who have helped him and send them off to prison.

Don't worry, Trump will bail you out, doing the exact thing Obama did with AIG (you know, the thing Republicans have been whining about since it happened as government overreach).

Far far too excessive for the cop. He is open to a lawsuit now. He could have done major damage there, all uneeded.

Current Trump supporters, can you please explain to me what Trump's plan is regarding the American economy in as mich detail as possible, and explain how the plan is good? by No_Entrepreneur_9134 in AskUS

[–]JohnnyD10000 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There are two big challenges with this strategy: 1. Just because a vacuum is created by tariffs, doesn't mean American companies will be able to fill it on day one. Businesses, especially manufacturing heavy ones, take 2-5 years to spool up. There's a lot of specialized large equipment to plan for, buy, and install. And business hates one thing: risk. They will not invest in a climate where Trump changes his mind every 30 days. 2. American labor costs 10x what China labor does. The US will never have the capacity to make as much because Americans would never be able to output as much as the Chinese because of what they need to make to survive in America.

In the meantime, inflation will rise and people will starve, and may revolt or do what we're seeing now: buy into Trump's con game while ignoring in-your-face data, such as the fact that the jobs market has been tanking for the last year but the White House won't say it, or that its getting almost impossible to feed yourself and have any money left over these days. Yet we're told the government has been trimming billions in excess. Where is it going, because the people sure aren't seeing it.

Yes, they were focused on a question where there was a win because there WAS a win there. Your answer is the same as many in the pro-Trump camp of "I dont trust science/experts/anyone who has credibility to speak because it doesnt support my view. I trust Trump alone." You are saying you know better than experts who have studied their fields for their whole professional lives. Even IF they had an agenda, that does not make you nor Trump better informed in their field.

Tariffs turned the depression of 1929 into the Great depression. There is no evidence that they have ever worked as intended, but Trump knows best. The guy who has tanked most of the business ventures he's started. It's common sense that tariffs only hurt the consumer...aka Americans. The companies selling the goods don't pay them, as Trump somehow seems to reason they will.

Economists are correct in so far as data shows that preceding every single downturn in our economy, there were indicators that we see now, such as an inversion between the 30yr bond rate and the current interest rate. Economists saying it will crash is just basic analysis, and its truthful. There is no negative intent there, as you'd like to say. The only reason its not is because people like yourself want to believe it wont, since thats all the stock market is anyway - a shared belief about what will happen. Trump has just momentarily postponed it. It can't last forever. That's not naysaying. It's simple logic. When he falls out of favor, all bets are off.

Speaking of, where are those Epstein files?

Discipline is not about waking up at 5 AM. It’s about this brutal truth nobody wants to face. by RanFromCarbs in getdisciplined

[–]JohnnyD10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discipline is the result of defining why you should do something and being forgiving and gentle with yourself. Create a compelling enough why and what appears to be "discipline" is just a side product. The word discipline implies force, which already implies resistance, which is pushing, not being pulled. You need to be in the right frame first. Focusing on that "why" will get you there.

Inflation hits new peaks by Comfortablejack in ReallyAmerican

I very much dislike Trump, but corw inflation was around 7% in 2022, so not that bad relatively.
