It's also the thin side of the wedge.

Paying millions of people (with freshly printed money) to stay home and not go to work, causing a totally artificial labor shortage, is extremely inflationary.

It's a complete mystery where the inflation came from.

I was listening to a talk with Vivek R. He said that the firing individual federal employees can be appealed and dragged through the courts. Eliminating entire departments, on the other hand is much easier. Talk dirty to me 😝

All states that always vote democrat anyway.

They (both parties) have been complicit in dumping trillions of dollars into the economy for decades. Very little of that money has been removed via higher interest rates. The feds also royally screwed up the labor market during covid, paying people to stay home. Same with those ridiculous eviction and foreclosure moratoriums that really messed up the housing market. I voted for the man, but I expect no miracles. Fiscal responsibility has not been one of his fortes. Nor has government shrinking.

Rogan was quite harsh with Trump after Jan 6, but in the last four years he has become much more sympathetic. In my opinion, not so much because of Trump, but the current government and the dems have been doing. I had to stop watching after an hour, but I thought what I saw was fairly friendly "tell us about this awful thing they did to you".

Chief designer of the P-51 was German too. Edgar Schmued.

Before I got my US citizenship I went to CT DMV to renew my driver's license. With my Spanish passport in her hand, the DMV lady offered me a voter's registration form. I'd like to be charitable and think she was distracted.

They certainly nailed it.

Was this before or after the perfidious Portuguese stole all of Venezuela's Christmas food?

So how is Milei doing? Depending on the source, he's either the second coming of Christ, or the devil himself. Or worse... Trump. Very little in between.

Rule #1 should have been not to take the bait and to stick to message. Crowd size? "Let me tell you about the inflation of the last 3.5 years" January 6? "Let me tell you how much better things were on 1/6/21 compared to today"

He played "competent man of authority" and did it extremely well. No one cared what his level of pigmentation was.

Was he ever the main star in a movie? He certainly elevated whatever movie he was on. Rest in peace.
