Why are my two space stocks dropping this morning despite their good financials? Oh—the unrelated Blue Origin test flight explosion (no one was hurt).
My theorem that the stock market is run by a middle school "the sky is falling" mentality remains intact.

Seems like inflation/hyperinflation will be a step to reduce the gov debt. Our new digital wallet/currency will be introduced in 2030 or so. Is it possible that the gov will blame our current cash system for inflation and the new digital wallet will be pushed as "the solution?"

@Phaedru96690361 @MsHypothetical @TNT_arabic @politvidchannel I just checked, cause I wasn’t sure. But if he serves less than two full years unelected as president for the rest of President Trump‘s term, he can run twice. If he served for more than two years of President Trump‘s term and is not elected president he can only run once.

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@MsHypothetical @TNT_arabic @politvidchannel If he is president for I think more than two years, he can’t run for two more terms. If he is president for less than two years, he could run for two full terms. So it would have to be a year from now that the 25th amendment will take place in order for Vance to run two terms.

@heresyfinancial True. But also contrast the high income earners, who sadly pay a ton of taxes to the high wealth owners who avoid taxes.

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@mwalters1970 @heresyfinancial It’s not the same thing, but Social Security and Medicare tax are essentially flat taxes, aren’t they?

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@MathAmigo @heresyfinancial This would ironically be a flip from many years past. Cue “Taxman” by George Harrison where he was in a 95% tax bracket.

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@heresyfinancial I think this is because people confuse the Postal Service with a business. It’s not. It’s a service.

@Tabitha_TN777 @GuntherEagleman @SenMarkKelly The real thing is that people are reacting about this as if there’s an issue. They said nothing about President Trump, so why are people reacting as if they think there’s an issue? Don’t fall for it.

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@DozTk421 @Tabitha_TN777 @GuntherEagleman @SenMarkKelly They’re not. You’re falling for the real aim. Reacting this way makes it look like you are implying that there is an issue there.

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@mike_penske @Tabitha_TN777 @GuntherEagleman @SenMarkKelly The thing you were falling for is jumping to the conclusion that they are talking about President Trump. They said nothing about him. So people reacting this way are implying that they think there’s an issue.

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@chadpsualum @Tabitha_TN777 @GuntherEagleman @SenMarkKelly You’re exactly right. But they said nothing at all about President Trump. All they did was repeat the oath that all service people take the military code of conduct. Nothing about President Trump at all.

@theamelia__ Eating out, even fast food. Didn’t happen more than a couple of times a year.

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@theamelia__ Oh—a dishwasher. A luxury we got in the ‘70s that for the first year hooked up to the kitchen sink faucet until my dad and two of my uncles plumbed it in permanently.

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@theamelia__ Air conditioning, car and house. Power car windows. Seafood (mostly shellfish). A 19” TV. A color TV (we didn’t have one until 1975). And more than one TV (which we never had growing up or even until after 2000).

@PeggyDodson @JakeCan72 You know this was a satire post, right?

@TwilightCougar1 @DarrigoMelanie Ok. The truth. It was their right to gather peacefully. My old town had a Charlie Kirk memorial last week. It was also their right to gather peacefully.
All of us who are acting like children about it are the real problem.

[Dave Mancuso @davemancuso]

@xcitizenjournal @DarrigoMelanie But does it really matter? People turned out to express themselves as is their right under the constitution.
The town I used to live in last week they had a Charlie Kirk memorial. It was just as much their right to have a peaceful gathering.
No need to act like children over it.

@xcitizenjournal @DarrigoMelanie Here’s an actual pic from yesterday. The other pic was mistaken, but yesterday was 125,000 people.
