I don’t think it’s driving anything, but could it be affecting things on the margins? You have to look for reasons why his approval rating is at Trump’s lows despite how great his policies are and how great things are going. So far here the analysis is, everybody is dumb, or it’s all misinformation driven. I don’t buy that it’s all misinformation blah blah blah. Fox News has been spouting bullshit for a long time and there’s plenty of misinformation from the left. That’s a two way street. So what we’re left with here is that the country is too dumb to realize how awesome things are. That’s the surly analysis besides a spare poster here or there. Truly brilliant, keep it up.

Of course. The best part is that it’s permissionless. they have equal access to the beginning of a new financial system. No one can keep you out because of your race, sex, nationality.

His current approval level in the Quinnipiac poll ties Trump’s all time low which was in January 11th, 2021. It would be wise to examine why that’s the case rather than say it’s all the dumb people. His mental state could be part of the equation for some people. I haven’t seen it quantified though. Dismiss it all y’all want.

Yep old Ron, waging war on our democracy from his garage studio. Didn’t realize Ron Paul was so divisive. Don’t forget doctors.

Yes he will immediately sell $3Bn in twtr stock via market order. SMH I think he’s serious. When Elon is passionate about something he pursues it pretty aggressively and in sometimes shady ways. But he goes for it. Appears that opposing censorship on social media is one of those causes.

This is false. There were plenty of people denying that any piper would have to be paid.

Yep. Larry Fink might be the most powerful man in the world outside of J Powell. We like the oligarchs when they push what we like, hate them when they push what we don’t like.

Yeah except what if the gardener pulling weeds at first keeps telling everybody there’s not really any weeds? Then he changes and tells people the weed problem is only transitory and not that bad, but then the weeds keep getting worse. When eventually there’s weeds everywhere and he starts blaming the guy on the bench, people don’t buy it.

Did you just start paying attention today? Why do you care what Elon does with Twitter?

Market doesn’t believe it goes through. Trading well below offer price.

wow. The balls on this guy.

From the replies. Lolol

Elevated inflation is a destructive force, especially for middle class and below. It’s no surprise that the only demo he’s positive in is the professional class. White, college degree. It’s also why you, and this board, are flabbergasted. The inflation is not all his fault obviously, but it falls to him as President now. It’s easy to stick to him for a couple reasons. First of all, as inflation ramped over the last year, he spent a large amount of energy publicly pushing for extra spending via BBB. In retrospect it looks like we dodged a bullet there. Secondly, the high price of gas is a big problem. People on this board will it’s complex and not all his fault and that’s true, but he publicly campaigned strongly against the oil and gas industry. When increasing supply is seen by many to be the cure and you’ve been against that, you’re seen as part of the problem. See today’s remarks by Janet Yellen saying we need to redouble our efforts at decarbonizing. People see that and think how the fuck is that going to help anything. Also, the Twitter and media class of the Democratic Party are far left socially of much of the country. Most of the country sees a bill where you’re eliminating talk of sexual orientation at school with early elementary kids and says why are these people screeching like it’s the end of the world? I can’t tell you if that’s a man or a woman, I’m not a biologist etc. Huh? Hope that helps. Probably won’t.

I think here is why Abbott is doing this. that’s just God awful.

No paywall here. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/yellen-plans-global-food-crisis-160616360.html?guccounter=1 Speaking in a question-and-answer session after her Atlantic Council speech, Yellen said “this will be an urgent concern for us next week to try and think about how we can stave off starvation around the world.”

Shitty fiscal policy is really a both sides issue. No need to CR it.

Yes Democrats are so discerning. They’re above making hollow statements and pushing bullshit political narratives when it benefits them. signed, Democrats slobbing the knobs of the biggest scumbags in the intelligence community on cnn. That’s like clown world stupidity levels.

@JimmyJames sock confirmed.

Good points. I still think you’re discounting the security part of border security. That doesn’t have to do with “pulling up the ladder”.

This seems like a bad idea from Abbott. There’s a couple potential explanations. He believes that blame for any consequences related to supplies or prices will go to Biden. Or he believes or sees polling that voters in Texas are more concerned with the border situation than those issues. It’s been well covered that Hispanics especially in Texas are shifting to the right, at least partially due to the border. He’s playing to that I think. I think the mostly white, liberal, and educated posters here dismiss the impact of the current levels of illegal immigration especially on border communities. Then you throw in the expected surge coming and there could be some monster numbers. Seems like he’s making the common political mistake of giving into the cries to “Do Something!”
