except when they sit on subsidies and empty fields that lay fallow for decades or just some randos with property that put cows on them for a massive tax incentive and call themselves, you know "farmers"
Because farmers actually work doing value creating work that produces stuff we want. Poor people either don’t work or do jobs that produce very little of actual value which is why they’re paid minimum-wage.
Glenn is just a FYGM d-bag thru and thru
On the plus side, their parents are giving them great examples for what not to do and be when they grow up.
The thing is, I doubt he ever got his. I bet he's living off of social security. He's likely raging because he thinks they're taking all his money.
Trump can back off any time. He can just say, well, damn near anything. He waffled before on his tariffs, he can do it again. If he thinks it's politically expedient, he'll do that. He said he believes in tariffs, but he's not wedded to what he said last week. China today announced they wouldn't devalue, well, as much as they said the day before, accounting for the bounce back (I heard). Where this all goes, I don't know, but I expect more blood on Wall Street before the VIX settles down. And remember, Trump loves a crisis, he can't stand being bored, and for him that's a never ending battle. But I don't think he has the stomach for anything big.Who knew trade wars were so hard?
I get the feeling he's shitting out of a bag on his hip.
Not to make light of it--I get it--but he strikes me as the type that would be eternally bitter for that sort of fate that "the evil world hath dealt him!" and just turns it into bitterness and punching/murdering down to anyone that he thinks he can "catch"
I’d be happy if you’d cut out the payouts to farmers. I’d obviously rather nonoayouts like this go to anyone, not just farmers. But if the government absolutely *must* make transfer payments to redistribute wealth then the poors should be the very last to get those redistributions. We’d probably be better off burning the money to heat government buildings than paying the poors for sucking at life.
Ok, "Christian"
I never got the impression that glenn ever claimed to be a Christian.
Exactly. As a Randian fascist superman, any standard of decency is beneath glenn.Even they have some minimal standards.
Switching tactics away from "he wears a diaper" to "he's a bad Christian"? Okay, I won't bother fighting you on that charge. A quick bible google search seems to turn up zero hits on the "tax the rich lots" and plenty of things that seem to directly contradict the idea of government transfer payments. I guess Libertarian Jesus was right, you progressives should reach into your own pockets to help the poor and not wait until the tax man forces you.
Proverbs 13:4 - The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
Proverbs 12:24 - The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.
You're now reduced to arguing 'sure the bible says to help the poor but not by this exact funding mechanism!'.
lol. Dude, stop digging.
Meanwhile, markets down again today, gold shoots to 6 year highs, long bond yields drop, yield curve now almost fully inverted. Nothing to see here..
Dude, somebody is doing some farming. Nothing else could explain what I see in the markets, my cupboards and fridge. Heck, I'm even doing some. Ripe red tomatoes are hanging from my vines, plums are coming in now on my plum trees, winter squash are ripening on their vines.except when they sit on subsidies and empty fields that lay fallow for decades or just some randos with property that put cows on them for a massive tax incentive and call themselves, you know "farmers"

SPY only down about 6% from IIRC all-time peaks so the volatility bark is worse than it's bite so far. Definitely something to keep an eye on but this isn't necessarily the start of the Next Great Recession. It could be, or it could be a short-term correction like Sept-Dec 2018 from which the market recovered. The market is looking pretty ominous right now and I'd not be surprised if things went to shit, but it could just as easily bounce back up to new highs and remain there the remainder of the year.
Just don't deploy your reserve cash into new equities purchases yet. Probably need at least a 15% sell-off before rotating out of cash back into riskier assets.
Typical Christian these days, searches the Bible to find the verse most useful to him at the moment.You're now reduced to arguing 'sure the bible says to help the poor but not by this exact funding mechanism!'.

Obama market keeps rebounding no matter how many times Trump tries to destroy it with tweets and tariffs....
He was just being flippant, heck, you can't take that literally or anything.Typical Christian these days, searches the Bible to find the verse most useful to him at the moment.
Well that was exciting.
Agreed, the seat belt stays on, however with my trading plan I'm waiting for a sell signal and it's purely technical. A 6 year old could execute my trading plan as well as I do (assuming we both follow the rules).Don't take off your seat belt, the ride has only begun.
