My complaints about a looming Recession have little to do with politics. We have a definition of a recession. We also have definitions for corruption and bankruptcy too. Do you think “definitions” are any more capable of preventing the very thing they define simply because we created one? Do you think the Great Depression happened because we didn’t have a good enough definition of “recession” back then?

Doesn't matter which liar is in office. I’m more focused on the previous brain-dead liar because lying about a Recession for too long (as Democrats did), is exactly what can lead us right into a Great Depression. Before most people can stop denying anything bad is going on, because media marketing and spin. Like, right now. Doing their best to not conform or deny that a recession might be clickbait-worthy enough to start talking about in a less-than-classified manner.

Do you really think the average person doesn’t feel any financial struggle until at least two fiscal quarters have passed to tell them? Trying to use the definition of a recession, is almost as stupid as limiting its definition with math. Becomes instantly pointless in the moment. No definition will end a depression either.

No. Everything is not going great. No. It wasn’t great under Biden either. No. Shit-slinging politics, doesn’t fix it. Action does. Let’s stop believing the liars and instead open our eyes. From fake news to fake business fronts to fake jobs to fake jobs. Start fucking asking WHY instead of bitching about “regimes” under “Trumpistan”. That stupid shit only makes people want to deport you to Actual-stan so you can see and live your ignorance. I suggest you get that long-TDS treated given the winds of change. Democrats are still trying to dissect how to speak to the “toxic” man they love to hate while struggling to figure out what a “woman” is. I don’t see the Double-Down Democrat party winning much of anything other than Darwin Awards for a while.

Good specific example. Hell of a way to help justify the requested move.

You go to DC and Cape for reasons. You go to Boca for reasons. You either justify those reasons and go, or you don’t. You either want to go badly enough to Boca, or you don’t. It really is that much of a no-brainer. Space launches will likely become daily events in the near future. You either want to see a space launch, or you don’t. Not gonna see it in DC.

You say that assumption with confidence. As if you know the existing costs for an organization to warehouse a massive object in one of the most expensive places in the entire country to do it. A place that is likely in need of a deep audit first to prove your assumption.

Not sure why no one assumes to ask the obvious questions. Perhaps this suggested move is more about auditing the costs of the status quo. DC real estate is a hell of a lot more costly to the taxpayer. And has been for decades. All the more reason to know what taxpayers are paying.

No. I’m arguing your obvious political bias has about as much value as fucking girl math.

You expect me to believe a DC museum can’t be corrupt? A place defined by our very tax system that shows off money laundering as art? Literally?

Prove me wrong. Dare audit the status quo. THEN we can bitch about costs. Accurately. DC isn’t just a swamp. It is THE Swamp. I don’t mind being wrong. I mind when people assume and don’t ask relevant questions. It’s what allows organizations like Smithsonian to grow into giant behemoths, demanding the most prime real estate.

If this article proves anything, it’s that the American GDP is now fully reliant upon Americans wasting money incessantly buying stupid shit they don’t need, marketed to them all day, every day. There is a saturation limit. Even for the addicted.

A brain-addled President and equally unqualified VP created Bidenomics and pretended to run the most powerful (marketing) economy on the planet for the last four years. We watched tens of thousands get laid off then. Still watching it happen today, with layoffs being reported here damn near daily. Companies posting fake jobs just to make it look like they’re busy and hiring but not really. Massive chains of stores (UK candy shops are the latest) that force into question every money laundering law we have on the books due to lack of customers. Wall Street turned into one of our worst house of cards yet. While others propose a $30 minimum wage for an answer.

Do we really think the American GDP marketing engine would ever even let it slip that a Recession has been going on for months or years now? That information would be highly classified trade secret sauce by any other measure. Do we really assume QE printing presses running 24/7 while vehemently marketing Recession denial is exactly how we avoid another Great Depression? I seriously doubt it.

The cost is what? Cheaper for both native and international visitors? Yeah. I agree.

Geographically and financially advantageous is how one would describe Houston accurately. How many people can afford to visit DC in a good financial year? Not like your hotel is gonna be in the District.

Before we talk about how “wasteful” a move would be, dare as what the cost is to support the status quo. You act as if longstanding waste simply cannot exist in the MANY Smithsonian contracts and support agreements. For all we know, $85 million might be the fucking current annual budget. Rather obvious DC ain’t cheap. For corrupt reasons. Let’s not be ignorant about costs until we AUDIT.

Oh, cmon now. You say that as if you barely recognize a single fly-by-night brand name anymore.

Don’t you remember playing with all those toys from XXzzizz industries when you were a kid? And who could forget the Froxfftjjd fridge? Those SixZzrUs lawn darts were the real pokey ones..

Tell me again how “society” always patiently waits for it to fit perfectly inside your tiny definition of one.

Economists can prevent a Recession about as well as a teenager armed with girl math can prevent financial ruin. But by all means wait until profiteering liars tell you when to start worrying. I’m certain those defining recessions are looking out for YOUR best interests, right? /s

Its called a Recession. And it’s been going on for a long fucking time. A lot longer than anyone infected with TDS can try and assign blame to with an auto-pen. In fact the Recession has been going on for so long now that I wonder if we’re literally marketing ourselves right into a full-blown Depression due to denial alone.

If I’m wrong then tens of thousands laid off over the last few years in a struggling economy is because denial reasons.

If I’m right then you already know I am. You’re likely profiting off the lie, and contributing to making it worse.

I’d love to be proven wrong and have hope that this won’t go from bad to worse. We have Us vs. Them politics within a single United (alleged) country, along with hedge funds that are allowed to bet against the basic tenant of success. Gee, who could predict moar failure become some kind of twisted goal in today’s society with THAT kind of shortsighted profit motive feeding Greed who’s deaf, dumb, and blind?

Hell, next thing you’ll tell me Insider Trading is a Congressional lawmaker job per, oh get the FUCK out of here, they’re calling it the Pelosi Playground Pass?!?

Yeah, we’re fucked. Rip the Billionaire Band Aide off, sprinkle some Ghost Pepper Taki dust on The Rich and let’s get this over with. GenZ is starving and are looking for something to eat.

Since you feel taxation against addiction (call it what it is, even professional gamblers don’t ever advise anyone to follow in their footsteps) is “horrid”, care to share your thoughts on how we should tax prostitution income?

I mean, what should we label as reasonable depreciation on that kind of ass-et? All these OF queens running around love to assume you can just roll the odometer back and ignore the 47 previous rental agreements that tore that chassis up and left a shitload of old luggage in the trunk. Sure. It looks like it only has 30,000 miles. In reality it’s more like 80,000 miles when you wipe all that bondo off and realize that odometer is lying to you.

There’s an easy way to avoid being “ripped off” by taxation on addiction. But other than quitting, perhaps stop believing that any Representative of any color or stripe actually reads legislation before passing it. (They call it “Pulling a Pelosi”.)

Great. So when Al-Sex-A the Amazing Analbot hits a billion in sales all spanks in part to the AI-enhanced chat-sex-bot that helped promote the marketing, humanity will magically be gifted with the almighty AGI based on this promotional definition.

Leave it to the race wholly infected with the Disease of Greed to reduce a crowning achievement in technology down to a fucking number in the bottom right hand corner of some fucking spreadsheet locked in the bottom drawer of a file cabinet in the basement with a sign hanging on the door that says "Too Big To Fail".

Ignorant fucks.

There are sprays and things farmers, ranchers, suburban and rural homeowners are responsible enough to use OUTSIDE ONLY to prevent termites where there is not a exterminator for 100 miles. What they do not do, is mark the the product primary for termites, but the carpenter bee, ant killers and wasp killers take care of the occasional deck post that became the new home for termite flyers before the lighting it on fire method. Those of us who live near freight railroads need to boost the yearly termite and bug protection from the firm mid june and mid august. The active chemicals are identical. If you attempting to stop them after they have been there for a year two, grab a demo saw and sledge hammer, you got some work to do. We do not hand the good stuff to urban people, rather we camouflage the places with the stuff that works as tractor, farm, ranch and horse supplies.

Are players able to challenge a call? The word "challenge" is nowhere in the story.
