Retweeting this is literally an emotional conundrum for me. It's both embarrassing to admit this is true, and at the same time, it feels like my civic duty to give it more exposure to wake more people up to what's really happening. I'm going to wash my hands after I click post.
These things tend to happen more often in eras of fiscal dominance.
They aim for “industrial policy” which means government directive and funding to prioritize certain sectors.
Both major parties are ‘Big Government’ now (that was the Massie battle).
The US fiscal situation is much worse than that of other major economies:
The US federal budget deficit stands at -6.0% of GDP, the largest among all G7 nations.
The budget gap is also more than TWICE as big as the G7 average of -3.0%.
By comparison, France and the UK are running deficits at -5.0% of GDP.
By 2028, the US deficit is expected to widen to -7.5% of GDP, near the highest since 2021.
At the same time, Italy and Canada are projected to run deficits at -2.0% of GDP over the same period.
The UK, France, Germany, and Japan are all expected to hold deficits below -5.0%.
The US is on an unsustainable fiscal path.
Chet playing so scared this series is crazy….how do you get to this level, have the kind of success he has had and not want the ball. So disappointing….
The oil market has historically and routinely overreacted to geopolitical headlines that never manifested into actual supply shocks
Now it's overreacting to negotiation headlines that haven't yet done anything to ameliorate our current ACTUAL historic supply shock
Consistency.
Worst quarter of the season for OKC. Just horrible on both ends of the floor. Careless turnovers, lazy defense, forced shots, and unacceptable effort.
Enter the quarter with a chance only down 7 and throw in an absolute clunker.
Outscored 32-13 in the quarter and are now down 26.
Very reminiscent of Game 6 against Denver and Indiana last year.
As I’ve noted: every billionaire is retarded. If sh*t hits the fan, Argentinians will just kill him & take his stuff. If you had $20B you should build a compound in Appalachia, subsidize the ~5,000 ppl in town via a make work company that loses $20M/yr
THOSE ppl will defend you
The Spurs are dirty. Plain and simple.
They are everything that people like Brickscenter and Underdog sports say the Thunder are.
They have been empowered by the refs who are scared to properly officiate the game.
Wemby is the first person to get in front of a mic when they win.
He’s also the first person to run from the media when they lose.
Definition of soft as Charmin.

We have the highest conference finals rating in our history in this series” ~ Adam Silver

I will not let up on Wemby until he earns his praise on a consistent level. His game right now is a joke. No one has the balls to say it. He's all threes and alley oops and clean ups. Guy has no moves in paint. Horrible feet. Can't post up. It's gross.
Mike Breen on SGA:
"Does Shai sell calls sometimes? Absolutely, but so do 287 other players in the NBA… When they weren't a championship contender, nobody complained. They only complain now because they are winning.”

Wemby went out of his way to bump into Chet as time was called in the 1st q. The Thunder chuckled. Wemby yelled at teammates during 3rd q huddle. Didn’t work. Wemby told backups to take somebody out. OKC will remember.. Then Wemby ducked the media. Baby behavior.
