Re: Trump’s post at left, economic analyst Robert Rapier writes:

He already predicted in 2020: “If Biden is elected, the stock market will crash and your 401k will be zero.”

Now that the stock market is at a record high, he says it’s because people expect him to win. That’s not how the stock market works. It’s at a record high because economic indicators are strongly improving. He either doesn’t understand how the market works, or he does and doesn’t think you will know he’s lying.

What we’ve learned about Trump throughout is tenure in politics and the 30K+ lies he told in office is that he has no shame. He’s willing to swear to something that a five-year-old kid would reject as BS.

That said, he’s at the end of his rope; the evidence of his guilt in the 91 felony counts he faces, especially the testimony of dozens, eye witnesses, is about to crush his political viability like a grape.

Can’t swear that this is true but hoping so.

We must never forget.

The more visibility and the more frequent reminders we can get on this catastrophe in U.S. history the better.

It’s almost funny when we hear that California is a socialist state, or a police state (due to our environmental restrictions), or that people are leaving in droves to go to Texas or Florida. When I come across people who say this, I wonder: have you ever actually been to California?

Do you know that the garden-variety 3 BR, 2 BA house here lists at about $1.2 million, where, if it were moved to, say, the Midwest, it would be worth perhaps $2500,000? Why do you think that could possibly be? Maybe the law of supply and demand doesn’t apply to the Marxist part of the nation?

Perhaps it’s because Californians are offered fantastic economic opportunities. We develop and implement ideas that improve the lives of everyone on Earth, and that we profit greatly from our undertakings.

Something for the MAGA crowd to consider.

Who or What Creates Wealth?

The main way governments create wealth is by educating people so that they can become productive members of society. They also build roads and airports and maintain law and order so that honest businesses can thrive.

Anyone living now who believes that Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are creating wealth for anyone but themselves is a total fool.

A ton of people bought into the concept expressed here in the mid-20th Century, but no semi-intelligent person today believes that tax breaks for billionaires/trillionaires generates a nickel for the common person.
