Inflation was generally trending down in 2024, flat in 2025, and up in 2026. I wonder what happened.

Trade deficit is at a 17 month high. Imagine that.

This is a relatively small snapshot but the trend is concerning. Almost all of the economic growth is in AI. That's masking an overall weakness in the economy. I'm an engineer, not an economist, but the data have me concerned. This looks like another dotcom bubble.

I thought these graphs were interesting. Imagine if we had solar panels and were putting power back on the grid to power data centers.

Fuckin' Soros is paying for everything and keeping us the Democrats' thumbs. Other than the House, the Senate, and the President who has appointed three Supreme Court Justices.

Holy fuck, MAGA must be buying up the stupid Trump coin. Maybe it's people like me who are curious about the stupid thing.

Great, we can share unlimited NYT articles. The down side is everyone that wants to read the article needs a free NYT account.

Confirmed by the great Lord and Savior, Google - for the years 2001-2005. For reference, kids make up ~4% of the annual auto-pedestrian deaths. It's the Simpson's woman clutching her pearls saying "Won't somebody think of the children."

I love people like this that post lies and misinformation but are too scared to let there be any response. Typical of MAGA. No interest in the truth, fearful of knowledge. It's too bad their ignorance is ruining our country.

Typical lazy Russian MAGA troll. Puts a meme up that is true with no context beyond racism. I’d love for the US to use the Icelandic model for gun ownership. The ignorant person who runs this account would be opposed to it.

Huh, Making America Great Again by bringing back copper mining. Except, the tariffs have added $500M to the project.
Dumbass president's tariffs increase the cost of a copper mill by ~25%.

The Daily Caller trying to find a scandal to distract from Trump's fuckery in Iran. My guess is that 'far-left activists' are people who want to teach history, science, civics, etc. honestly.

Billionaires whine about California’s wealth tax. They wouldn’t notice the change in their net worth. It’s sad that greed and selfishness have replaced being American.
