    If corp profits were up so high, wouldn't that be reflected in stock prices/returns? It's not. Yes, the market is up in recent weeks, but it was down nearly 20% last year. The market is up right now because investors think the Fed is going to lower interest rates in coming months, because inflation is coming down as a result of M2 being in negative territory for the last several months (see previous chart).

    Again, any fluctuations in how companies managed costs/operations in the past few years are the result of how Democrats managed the fake pandemic. Sorry, but you can't get around that fact.

    You can repeat this anti-capitalist nonsense all you want, but facts are facts.

    You know the media will push how great Bidenomics is with inflation dropping, without bothering to mention how much more everything is compared to 3 years ago. Sadly, the average voter is stupid and doesn’t really pay attention. They just believe what they hear or see online.

    Why do people like a person who literally echos things that Putin, a dictator who hates America, says. It’s disturbingly fascinating.

    Because it makes the libs angry, which seems to be the number one issue for a large part of the electorate.

    There are lots of people out there who would rather the Kremlin run this country than the Democrats. I can’t really give you the answer other than people see Trump as an outsider to the corrupt political landscape that the average American is sick and tired of. I also do not know why people want an 81 year old person to be the leader of this country? Donald Trump is the best the Republicans can do and Joe Biden is the best the Democrats can do? Pitiful to say the least.

    I don’t think they want Biden in office, they just don’t want trump which I can understand. Yeah I don’t want Biden in office either, but against trump I get
