I only comment on SCOTUS rulings I read. The all-GOP one in Cruz case is top 5 most absurd. The rationalizations to justify ending another campaign finance law to benefit only the rich - & legalize bribery - shows theyve replaced constitution with GOP platform for all decisions.
We have known for years that the greatest terrorist threat in this country are right wing extremists. And we also have known that GOP politicians intentionally fueling conspiracy theories for votes spurs them on. I wrote this in February, 2016. newsweek.com/2016/02/12/rig…
Right-Wing Extremists Are a Bigger Threat to America Than ISIS
newsweek.com
If a Muslim journalist or politician repeated the ideology, talking points and conspiracy theorists of violent extremists, and a person massacred 10 people in Buffalo repeating the same conspiracy as his inspiration -- how would this country respond?
"Another white supremacist terrorist has committed mass murder, inspired by the 'great replacement' thinking pushed regularly by @TuckerCarlson and others on the right. Blood is on their hands, 100%." - Tim Wise, Anti-racism educator.
Even more under Trump's watch: Infant formula made by Abbott tested positive for deadly bacteria at least twice dating back to 2019, according to newly released records. consumerreports.org/baby-formula/f…
That media talks about baby formula shortage w/o knowing whats going on is amazing. Trump's USMCA restricted imports of formula from Canada, so we imported no formula from Canada in 2021, leaving us vulnerable to domestic shock. The shock hit when Abbott plant was contaminated.
CATO also identified another reason... cato.org/blog/rock-bye-… pic.twitter.com/YCzZKRQGgW
Found that it wasn’t their formula… and Biden’s FDA still hasn’t given the go ahead to reopen it… details details
This, by the way, shows the self-defeating nature of economic nationalism and trade protectionism of modern GOP (traditional GOP would have been horrified by it.) When you cut off imports, and end up in a domestic supply shock, shortages emerge.
GOPrs blame Biden for baby formula shortage without explaining why. Reality:Trump's rewrite of NAFTA limited Canada's exports of formula (a sop to US dairy industry) ignoring risk of domestic disruption. One emerged:a US plant shut down when its contaminated formula killed babies

I know of 3 people who might... what's the point of sharing thoughts with a vacuum? But yeah, so proud of thousands of followers 🥴😭
I've tried to engage but I still don't see that side of Twitter where people make friends.

I gave you an extensive analysis as to why, and why I moved my investments overseas. Your response is. “It went up.” Yes, for terrible reasons. Again, we have set ourselves up for serious trouble - which we are beginning to see now - because we held an inflationary approach…
Great. The day you sent that tweet, the SP500 closed at 2,164.69. Today it closed at 3,930.08, up 81.5%. The COVID bottom of 2,237.40 is still 3.4% above the point at which you encouraged people to sell all of their equities. You can explain or just acknowledge that was reckless.
Yep, and I feel like a lot of the people who think this is different now don’t remember that, or weren’t around for it. The story is “well back then it was a bunch of bad lending practices, that’s not happening now”… but still.
Personally I'm interested in seeing what happens with the real estate market. I've had various people tell me "yes, it will definitely keep going up forever!!". I'm somewhat skeptical.
Unloaded the little I had left a few weeks ago and I’ve been in it since 2014
That’s just wrong. People “ invest” in currencies all the time.
It's a speculative investment while on the path to currency adoption
...in a few years. Unless the fed successfully guides us into a soft landing. But I dont have confidence in that. And it doesn't matter if it's a democrat or republican in the white house. It all depends on valuations, demand, and valid p/e's. We now have non-GAAP accounting...
...with the Smoot Hawley tariffs. And those led directly to the stock market crash of '29. Flooding the economy with tax cuts for the rich, while keeping it also flooded with Fed cash and low interest rates, was reckless. There *will* be a stock market crash at some point...
...do, I would have said get out of stocks. I was stunned - *stunned* - that the GOP so casually abandoned free trade and became the party of trade wars, something often pushed by actual socialists. The last time we were hard-core trade warriors was in the early 20th century...
...philosophy, is the correct thing to do. It doesn't matter if the market goes up or goes down after that. Investing in the unknown is stupid. It wouldn't matter if Clinton came in - if she started screaming for trade wars and it was impossible to assess what the Dems would...
I did. Held tight for a month to see where the targeted areas of trade wars would be, then reinvested overseas. No financial advice is eternal. Again, shifting to cash at a time when it was totally unclear if the GOP was actually prepared to abandon a century of financial....
Kurt, that's all great. But here's the tweet. You literally said "I sold all stocks" and then you encouraged folks to do the same. How would that have worked out for a random person who didn't just spend a dozen tweets trying to... explain that? pic.twitter.com/6jVAtBUIiL
...how they work. Trump wasn't some market genius: The GOP was horribly reckless. That the party of free markets became the party of trade wars was insane. Who is sitting in the Oval Office is irrelevant. What matters is their policies. And abandonment of old GOP market...
...pumped more into the economy to minimize that potential collapse, leading the smart money to drive up prices when they saw this was a market being kept afloat artificially. Heavy inflation was inevitable. Unfortunately, too many people have no understanding of markets or...4
...the politics and not reasonable financial stewardship. (Again, the GOP used to be very good at this in terms of knowing role of interest rates. Now? Nope.) Thats also why he eventually started downplaying COVID, because he feared what it would do to the market. And the fed...3
...that was why, every time there was even a slight correction in market prices - which *has* to happen - Trump demanded that the fed adopt negative interest rates, something you *never* do in a strong economy. They should have raised rates years ago, bu Trump was all about.../2
Trump had no market plan. And he was pushing trade wars, which under traditional (Read Republican) & correct financial analysis means falling markets. That was the reason to get out. Instead, went to markets where no trade war threats. But fed kept everything propped up.../1
Since you seem to be aware of what I'm referring to, do you have the original tweet? I can't find it. Entirely possible I'm mistaken here, but I thought the advice you provided was to liquidate because of Trump, which seems different than what you say here.
Quick question - did you ever jump back into equities after encouraging folks to liquidate them when Trump got elected?
...rational business plan defining where the market was and why it would grow. (One of the few that did have one: Amazon.) Dot com billionaires are the ones who were smart enough to get out (or at least hedge their investment) before the inevitable crash. (See Mark Cuban.).../4

Before investors jump back in to Crypto once it experiences the almost certain "dead cat bounce," let me again explain the underlying issue: Its advocates claim it's both a currency & an investment disconnected from exchange rates. This is impossible. It is either a currency../1

...and here is the other thing. Every time: Once the exuberant investing leads to a crash, the frauds & money laundering that were being hidden by the relentless value growth emerge. So buckle up.
Me (every 5 yrs or so for last 35 years): Markets with irrational growth based on exuberance will always crash.
Response: (Every time.) This time it's different.
Me: It's never different.
Response: You just dont understand.

Defense Production Act
That certain GOPrs are pretending that the FDA closed the Abbott baby formula plant for no reason is disgusting. The plant was contaminated. Babies died. The process for decontaminating a plant with bacterial infestation is complex & takes time, so that more babies dont die.
Has Biden explored using the Defense Production Act to reopen the formula plant his FDA closed, or is he going to continue to just sit around
Book recommendation of the day: "The Adventures of Herbie Cohen" by @richcohen2003. This was easily the most delightful book I have read in years, and the first in a long time that had me laughing out loud every few pages. Can't recommend it enough.

.@elonmusk: I'm not sure the status on Tesla trademark, but a company is using "Tesla" in what appears to be a scam selling "Medbeds." Medbeds are part of the QAnon delusion. They believe it repairs all illness. They are being charged $19,000. Go get 'em.

Why would she leak to Politico, and not, for example, the Wall Street Journal? Or another conservative outlet?
I laid out to my wife my case for who I believed leaked Alito draft, either directly or from her hands through someone else. My wife said “Ooh,” and thinks there’s a 90% probability I’ve identified the woman. Not a Justice or clerk. But you know this reckless conservative’s name.
