I am hoping the lack of the tweet-of-the-day will reduce the "frothiness" of the market, and allow boring investors like myself to relax a bit.
He’s doing a great job making the sun rise every morning too.
oh come now. I was worried about Dems’ largesse to some and villainy to others sinking the Dow. But nope!Quote:

Yes. Perhaps they will write laws to overcome the historical inequities of the twenty-four hour day through affirmative horological regulation.Quote:

And if the Dems took away all the new tax breaks Trump and the Repubs gave to rich people we would all be a hell of a lot better off economically in terms of the national debt.
Aren't they both really just the Same Fellow under the hood?Quote:

Or the “Force People into Unions so they can Support the Democratic Party Act”. I think they just shortened it to the “PRO Act” in the current proposal.Quote:

But so called Right To Work laws effectively take away their right to do those things.Quote:

So I recognize that unions have both good and bad aspects, but the alternative is to give total power to the big corporations whose only goal is to get as much profit as possible from their workers at the lowest possible cost, and that is a much worse alternative. Here is a list of 9 pros and 9 cons of Right To Work: https://futureofworking.com/18-cruci...-to-work-laws/
The last company I worked for before retiring had a paragraph in the employee handbook that was clearly labeled "Anti-Union Policy" and stated that they were against unions because employees should express their concerns directly to management as individuals. And you know how far doing that will get you.
Don't forget what happened to Bush when he said that....Quote:

When the federal government is so bitterly divided along party lines that it's unwilling or unable to create laws and regulations that 70% of Americans would willingly support, there is something seriously wrong with the way we elect our "leaders".
That wasn’t the question.Quote:
