    I’m not arguing the state of the economy, I am just sharing what the PERCEPTION of the economy is to a large segment of the electorate.  BTW few folks care about GDP when inflation is out pacing their income. 

    Sure.  And how would electing Trump improve that?  Not at all.

    50 Car companies that have failed

    It's almost as though a new technology were riskier! Fortunately cars never caught on because of all the nay-sayers, right?

    No lamentations here, just reporting on the mood of the country. The damage done by inflation to one’s personal finances is much more tangible than GDP and the polls reflect this reality.

    “A recent CBS News poll found that 65% of Americans remember the economy under former President Donald Trump as being good, compared with 38% giving the current economy under President Joe Biden the same positive assessment.”

    A recent poll of MAGAs found that, when asked how they were doing in this economy, they said that they (personally) were doing fine.  When asked about the economy without relating it to them personally, they said that the economy was bad. 

    They know how the economy really is (based on personal experience) but are brainwashed into thinking that it is bad in general by the silo they choose to inhabit.

    This, a thousand times this. Remember, if you're a minority, it takes one disqualifying thing to disqualify; if you're a majority (and in the case of national politics we're talking rich white men), then it takes one qualifying thing to qualify.

    Wendy, that is already three things.  ;P

     Bonding judgements is not listed as part of their core business. It's hard to say what could possibly motivate them to take on this venture. They are already taking considerable heat for getting involved.

    It will just be grouped in with their other hurricane losses.

    Now, he is pushing Trump Bobbleheads via YouTube advertisements.   At least the voiceover sounds like him, and says the things you would expect him to say.  Personally, I hope that it is someone imitating him, ripping him off.

    If they defend the error and then become angry, it's a good sign that they are seeing a mental decline.

    Trump has never been one to recognize and admit an error.  Too fragile.

    Isn’t this the one where the prosecutors asked if they could just skip the appeals court and go straight to the SC because everyone involved knew it was going to end up there anyway? Surprise surprise they weren’t in favour of speeding things up.

    My understanding is that they can still request the full circuit court to consider the appeal, not just the panel of 3 circuit judges that shot down the appeal.  That only got them a few days of delay in another appeal, when the request to consider was summarily and unanimously denied.

    <20%

    “After a year of slowed EV adoption in the US left auto giants including Ford with billions of dollars in losses, some car makers are rethinking their business strategies”

     

    So as much as 21% growth per year, compounded.  Sounds about right.
