ROARING ECONOMY!!

[georgiaduck]

So in other words, between 20-45% lower than healthy.

Time for Victory Gin!

Somewhat agree that a lot of those businesses are either bad or the pandemic's assault on retail accelerated their slow demise.
A lot of the tech companies were over-hiring entry level people.
UPS is trying to modernize themselves, there's just less labor needed for a modern system. Even though they're terrible at it so far.
Still doesn't mean that this isn't the worst administration possible to manage/fix the economy. Don't see how they can possibly overcome their management of it the last 3 years.

"manage" the economy?
We don't live in a command economy.

Newsflash, yes we do.

Fed spending alone is 1/4th to 1/3rd of GDP now.
China by ccomparison has 1/8th to 1/6th of gdp from their national government.

Or 4/10ths of one percent below the healthy range . . . for the quarter.

 

[georgiaduck]

Or growth of $10.9B
vs Healthy growth of $13.6B-$20.5B

You can go back to thanking big brother for lowering the price of chocolate.

If you are successful and live in a blue state, your individual marginal federal and state income tax is 50% or higher. That means the government is your 50-50 partner in most new ordinary income you generate.

We can tax and regulate our way to 2%!!!!!!!

 

[HHusky]

50/50
So, the equivalent of the highest marginal Federal rate by itself after passage of the ERTA of 1981.
terrifying

Or we could look at history and conclude if you try to cool inflation you get some economic cooling as well.
I know: you girls want 12% growth and zero inflation. Good luck with that.

 

[georgiaduck]

For the quarter- or projected out over the year:

Actual growth of $43.6B
vs Healthy growth of $54.4B-$82B

I didn't bother to compound the number quarterly because you're so far behind in the race you're about to be lapped.

We girls will take the 4.1% GDP growth in 2019 and the 1.8% inflation rate and the 3.7% mortgage rate. You suck at this.

You should be appreciative of the 2% growth and 4% inflation (while pretending that the 20% cumulative inflations over the last 3 years didn't happen).

2.3% not 4.1%

Given that the Seahawks scored two points in the first twelve seconds of Super Bowl 48, I assume they must have scored 600 by the end of the game.

 

[georgiaduck]

Or they scored a Td in the FIRST QUARTER and are on track to score 28 for the game. (j/k- how many times did they score 28 in a game last year?)

diploma@uw.edu. called and they are asking for you to return your degree.

UPS is cutting jobs because Amazon is pulling almost all of their packages to their own delivery contractors and not using UPS anymore. UPS shipping volume has dropped significantly.

Must be why Amazon is laying people off.

I'm not convinced that H has anything to return.
With his performance in this thread it seems like he should take the world's biggest L and just go away.

This has gotta be one of your dumbest takes ever.
Keep talking about Bidenomics though! Surefire election success.

That's also bc their sales are down overall. Of course the cut contract workers first.
