  1. Neither one is on the board of governors for the Federal Reserve.

  2. Dividends are paid through profits, buybacks are paid for by more corporate debt.

  3. Texas is freaking hot.

  4. Many products could be made cheaper in the United States for home use because labor is a small percentage of cost. It's because imports are actually subsidized by not paying taxes that home based companies have to pay and the implied threat by China that they will cut off any company that doesn't source everything from China.

  5. Tesla is backed fully by the Chinese government. Why does the U.S. stock market go up? It's backed by the Federal Reserve.

  6.  @t.s.d.1376  1990’s designs means patents are no longer valid, so available for anyone to use.

  7. Trump likely was playing musical chairs with financing his properties which are all overvalued, and lost value due to commercial real estate crisis.

  9. The Feds are providing the money by monetary easing keeping interest rates low.

  10.  @PrinceOfLight713  Basic financial stuff. If you have credit card debt, roll it all into lower rate personal loans and stop using credit cards if you can’t pay them off every month on time. Try your best to keep up with house maintenance if you have one. Think about the ‘big money’ expenses before spending the money like “do I really need to do this?” Look around and see if you can fit yourself into a better paying job or career. At the same time, try to enjoy life with friends and family. I have a young niece that’s dear to me. I won’t hesitate to help her out financially and value the little time we spend together. Appreciate the good things you have especially with people close to you.

  11. Yes, you could say she did that her whole career.

  12. Tax all income from any source equally whether its a person or corporation and no deductions or tax write offs.

  13.  @dr.z8378  U.S. has been in continual wars since World War II because of excess military budget.

  14. The point of a capitalist economy is to get as many people working to make a positive contribution to the economy. Basic income would simply create inflation.
    2
  15. Then why is inflation so high… because corporations pocket the difference and other countries raise their prices after wiping out U.S. businesses.

  16. A rare honest video showing Chinese technology. Does anyone know decent YouTube videos that aren't anti-China propaganda, other than food?

  17. MilesBellas Executives in the U.S. are great at pointing their finger to someone else and saying not my fault. They are the ones that moved factories to China. Also, much of what they claim is being copied is not under patent protection. I'm sure many of them used Chinese designers and engineers, who in turn created similar products to be manufactured elsewhere and sold on Amazon, an American corporation. It's not like businesses in the U.S. don't do the exact same thing as the Chinese, just look at all the business lawsuits in the U.S.

  18. r r & MilesBellas Not a troll, tired of hearing bull from executives who have zero patriotism for the U.S. They are or have the same mentality of the executives that sold out the manufacturing industry to China, help China set them up and taught China how the businesses work, so they could sell the stuff back to the U.S. for huge temporary profits. China was given the tools to best the U.S. Now, after 30 years, our economy is highly dependent on China and they're using that advantage to move far ahead of the U.S. in most manufacturing.

  19. Nobody created as much money as the current Fed.

  20. I really don't believe the U.S. is the wealthiest nation in any measure. China has a much larger manufacturing economy and likely wealthier overall. China has many larger and newer cities. Other nations like Norway have a much higher average standard of living. Saudi Arabia has the wealthiest family.

  21. Ponzi scheme

  22. U.S. desperately needs to get back to a capitalist economy with normal market price discovery and low inflation. Last year’s riots and attempted insurrection will only get worse, scenarios similar to the rise of Nazi Germany.

  23. Higher taxes and 30% inflation again, no thank you.
    2
  24. Millions of people continue to be fired without a chance of employment and will soon run out of the means to live. If people don't get some kind of regular payment until the economy comes back, there will be a lot of crime and social unrest.

  25.  @freedomordeath89  $1000 times 250 million adult citizens= $250 billion. Bailouts were 10 times that.

  26. Chicago in U.S. was known for long, cold and snowy winters when I was young in 1960’s. The last few years of winters are months shorter, winter doesn’t really start until January vs. end of October, and only about 6 weeks of freezing days vs. 3-5 months of freezing days. Yes, there is substantial warming.

  27. Mexico has lots of oil, but it didn't go into building the Mexican economy, like most big oil producers, unlike the US

  28. Theater of safety.

  29. Yes, but only retired people who continue working will be able to afford a longer life.

  30. Minimum corporate taxes are the way to go.

  31. That's why we need the Glass-Steagall Act restored.

  32. Local and state taxes are going higher because of Federal cuts in money. We are also paying for Trump's deficit spending with higher inflation. The only things not going up in price are televisions and old out of date housing.

  33. Glide bombs can be intercepted.

  34. Yes, Biden 30% inflation was terrible and Kamala will be worse. Things were better under Trump.

  35. They might be lying about how much recoverable oil is left.

  36. It's not the trees, it's the dry underbrush that causes the rapid fire expansion.

  37. xihuantiyu No, just noticing which groups of people are most successful, looking for the least help and not causing crime in U.S.

  38. Medi Roquai Some probably were born wealthy and spoon fed, hopefully they'll grow out of it.

  39.  @holycrapchris  You switched your point, developers are not Wall Street. Developers build housing for sale which increases housing supply. Wall Street buys existing homes, limits housing supply and drive up prices.

  40. Nothing new for last 50 years.

  41. Cheaper than the 30% increase in prices that Biden did.

  42. Wagyu is another product going sub-standard because of cost cutting and a cheaper imitation of the original product. In the U.S. we went through that cycle with beer. Big companies bought name brand quality beers, then cheapened the quality. Then people switched to local craft breweries for good beer.

  43. Billionaires are few, middle class supported Trump, Musk and Kennedy to limit government.

  44. Removing tariffs decimated the U.S. middle class, the rich kept the money.

  45. U.S. citizens also need to be able to buy from other EU countries and Canada. Citizens in the U.S. are not free.

  46. Mines don’t matter anymore. Mines are being accurately mapped because they show up in infrared after the sun goes down. Metal from mines cool slower so mines show up as bright circular objects in infrared photos.

  47. Ann Onymous I vote it was Castro who Kennedy tried to kill, which is why the U.S. never let go of the embargo.

  48. Prices on average have gone up 30% since Biden became President. Facts are not on the no tariff side.

  49. Trump is against illegal immigration. Trump is for legal skilled immigrants. Trump is for fair trade, tariffs against tariffs.

  50. You mean Trump and Congress?
