This from senior energy analyst Robert Rapier on the graph below:
GDP is one of the most important economic indicators. This measures the monetary value of all the stuff a country makes in a year. It is also used to determine recession (two consecutive quarters of GDP declines). It is not the only important indicator, but it is a big one, and it says the U.S. is outperforming other major developed economies.
In a related matter, Americans are more confident in the U.S. economy than they have been in two years.
I’m sure Biden and his advisors are wondering why they can’t get a break in the polls; maybe this is the news voters have been waiting for,
At left is a good example of what I mean by: “The last 150 years hasn’t been good for philosophers.”
In the late 19th Century, a question like this was the purview of philosophy. Now it’s the domain for neuroscientists.
Similarly, the question: “what are the ultimate building blocks of the universe” was fodder for everyone from the ancient Greek philosophers up to the far more recent metaphysicians. Now we ask particle physicists.
This is funny, but in actuality, sane people don’t physically attack the MAGA crowd; in fact, we don’t even make snide comments.
We keep our thoughts to ourselves. We may feel sorry for these people’s moral depravity and/or stupidity. We may be angry that the country that was once the envy of the world is now viewed with ridicule and disdain in its path to become irrelevant in global affairs.
But messing with hateful morons in red hats isn’t helping anyone.
Here’s the latest on Trump’s efforts to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, while waging an aggressive war in Iran, executing people he suspects of carrying drug off the coast of Venezuela, pledging to take over Cuba, and annexing Greenland from a (former) ally.
