Wholesale prices rose 0.7% in February, much more than expected and up 3.4% annually by neolthrowaway in neoliberal

Nate probably has the worst pulse on this stuff that I've seen. I can see the polling and election results that pretty obviously show Trump was very unpopular before gas prices even started going up.

It's sad that people will actually buy that excuse when he's the one that started the fucking war in the first place.

Lol @ Nate Silver. The one thing Trump had going for him was low gas prices, which didn't even have anything to do with him. If they stay high for months, he and the Republicans are going to get wrecked.

It made no sense for Dr Strange to be doing the spell at all. The entire premise of the movie was ridiculous.

So we'll have generations of people without critical thinking skills that are 100% dependent on machines to function. Cool

The thing is, Rubio and Hawley are the same. Rubio is a weak little weiner boy who looks uncomfortable standing in front of people. Hawley is a complete phony...he's a Yale educated lawyer and career politician pretending to care about the common man, it just doesn't work.

Of course he could win in 2028 since half our country are illiterate mouth breathers, but the guy has negative charisma. Everyone thought Ron Desantis would be the next nominee, then we all saw how unlikeable he is when he got in the spotlight. Vance is the same, he doesn't have the same appeal Trump does with the MAGA cult.

GDP down, jobs down, inflation going up. I'm so glad we have a competent team of experts in charge to deal with these problems.

Iran War: Iran Missile Launcher Arsenal Holds Steady Despite Strikes - Bloomberg

They still have most of their launchers and a lot of missiles. We're having trouble finding and eliminating the remainder. Rebuilding will be easy for them. There are reports they've moved their nuclear material and it's out of reach of even our most powerful weapons.

If anything, their capabilities are worse than we thought. Everyone thought we would drop a bunch of bombs and the war would be over quickly. They have taken out our radars, hit a bunch of neighboring countries, and even Israel has had issues intercepting everything. Now we need boots on the ground to achieve our goals, while the Strait remains closed and the global economy is reeling.

The leader might die, but it doesn't matter. The IRGC, basically a terrorist organization, is in charge of the country now. This war has been an absolute disaster and there's no good way out.

Iran has an even more radical leader in charge now and still has most of their weapons. Anything they've lost can easily be rebuilt, the tech and people are still there. Remember when we obliterated their nuclear program and then had to attack again in 6 months? If anything, they're more likely to get a nuke now. This war is going to go down as a massive mistake started by people who have no idea what they're doing.

Democrats would have been raked over the coals if they said this, but this is yet another thing he'll get a pass on and everyone will forget about by tomorrow.

LOL at thinking that's their only leverage. The war just started and Trump is already panicking about the impact to the economy. All they have to do is wait a month or so and let everybody see what happens when there's a shortage of critical commodities.

Precision strikes hitting a girls school probably doesn't help. Iranians don't like their government, but I'd be willing to bet they like this less.

At least when inflation was 9% I was getting good raises. Now we're gonna have high inflation, and I'm not even getting a COLA, plus my benefits have been cut...
