    i have this sticker i’m turning into a christmas ornament of santa on the shitter. i can’t remember if the shitter is a chimney or not. it was a gift from my late grandmother and i adore it. i’m tempted to have one of my visual artist friends use it as inspiration for a “i did that” krasnov sticker

    (i found this on temu, the one gram gave me is grumpier. has more soul. but you get the idea)

    This is already being written down in the history books because of how devastating it is at home and abroad. You can look up Trump-Futanari inflation if you don’t believe me.

      It wasn’t just Joe, it is the whole Biden crime family including Hunter and his evil Laptop.

    The US is a literal house of cards. Would love for the world to finally move away from the US dollar as reserve currency.

    That should be interesting politically, given that Pew polling showed that the top concern for Trump voters in 2024 was “the economy” and within that category, the top concern was “prices”.

        Oh, having whilst in the Finance Industry seen exactly what the Obama administration did in the aftermath of the 2008 Crash, he at the very least tilled and fertilized the fields from were this harvest is coming.

        His “save asset holders at any cost and have the rest of society pay for it” approach accelerated wealth concentration, inequality growth and the destruction of social mobility in the US, which amongst other things helped Trump swindle a lot of desperate working class people to vote for him, plus also inflating a number of asset bubbles, most notably realestate.

        Just because Trump is even worse doesn’t make Obama a competent steersman of the US Economy.

      The big question is whether they really mean that, and then whether they really notice what’s happening. They may just assume the old false myth that the Republicans are better at managing the economy and double down on their support. Or they may just not want to admit that they don’t care about the economy so long as the government is hurting LGBTQ+ and brown people.

    The euro has had the biggest gain of the major currencies against the faltering dollar, surging nearly 14 per cent to above $1.17

    That’s for 2025.

    Wall Street banks expect the euro to strengthen to $1.20 by the end of 2026

    So 3 cent decline for the dollar for 2026, that is pretty stable if that holds.
    The headline must refer to what has already happened, but then why is it “on track” instead of it being already a fact?
    Or does the author not believe the Wall Street banks?

    Anywho I don’t believe the dollar will only decline 3 cents against the Euro in 2026.
    The American economy would clearly be in declining growth already, if it wasn’t for the AI bubble. I suspect this to become clearer when job numbers for January and February 2026 are released.
    The completely irresponsible federal budget for 2026 probably won’t help either, and the Trump administration is almost guaranteed to make things worse as they continue their crazy policies, with or without Trump, I don’t think that really matters much. The rest of the administration is as crazy as Trump is.

    I think you’ll find it’s a big beautiful drop. A tremendous drop. Everyone is saying it’s the best drop ever!
