I’ve hesitated to say this at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, but with last week’s big GDP revisions, there is no denying it: This is among the best performing economies in my 35+ years as an economist. Economic growth is rip-roaring, with real GDP up 3% over the past year. Unemployment is low at near 4%, consistent with full employment. Inflation is fast closing in on Fed’s 2% target - grocery prices, rents and gas prices are flat to down over the past more than a year. Households’ financial obligations are light, and set to get lighter with the Fed cutting rates. House prices have never been higher, and most homeowners have more equity in their homes than ever. Corporate profits are robust, and the stock market is hitting a record high on a seemingly daily basis. Of course there are blemishes, as lower-income households are struggling financially, there is a severe shortage of affordable homes, and the government is running large budget deficits. And things could change quickly. There are plenty of threats. But in my time as an economist, the economy has rarely looked better.
The time Kris Kristofferson consoled Sinead O'Connor after she was booed mercilessly for telling the truth on SNL in 1992.
It costs nothing to be a decent human being.
God speed Kris Kristofferson.
While @discord are the bad guys here I don't see this happening on any other platform.
Be it @base refusing to acknowledge the kaki's existence or the bizarre behavior of the discord.
Solana, Polygon, Sui, anywhere else this would not have happened.
@discord_support failed
we have just published a new blog post on the oekaki connect blog about what happened this weekend along with our upcoming plans ! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Hey @base I think we deserve an answer.
Did you leverage connections with Discord to brick the accounts of 5,000 people and nuke their Discord server for the actions of 1 individual?
If so, why?

“History and experience say to stick with a hard landing outlook. However, the hard math that our team has reviewed says flip to a soft landing outlook. And that’s what we’re doing.”
Why does CT even talk about politics? It's boring. The first thing I was taught in Poli Sci 101 was traditional news can be biased. He pointed us to the Christian Science Monitor. I bring this up because CT says the media is not to be trusted. Yet I see CT will believe anything.
Hungary, India, Turkey-these are countries who elected hard-right populists. Look where that got them. Uneducated vote for populists. Probably why CT loves Trump. Also why Trump will lose. Too many college graduates in America. Won't even be close. This isn't Hungary.
‘SOUTH PARK’ will return in 2025 and skip the presidential election.
