The Salt Mine: Dig Deep, Stay Salty

Ease up on the personal attack. Lose the argument and go personal. Seems to be a common occurrence with you on this forum.

Scottmac is that you?

Yeah this just confirms you're delusional. The American stockmarket boomed under Trump and biden profited off his economic policies.

Pesky facts

Stock market followed the Obama trend line and GDP growth followed the exact same trend of just about every major economy.

Infant Mortality​

This one is probably the most important, or most closely related, to the abortion debate. Pro-Life advocates often say abortion is murder. So if it turns out that states can do something about Infant Mortality and don’t, then that’s arguably Child Abuse and Negligent Manslaughter.

Using CDC data, below are how states rank.

Again, on face value we can clearly see there is some kind of trend. Almost half of Dem states are better than all Rep states, and nearly half of Rep states are worse than all Dem states. Something definitely seems to be going on. But how statistically significant is Partisanship on Infant Mortality (sans-MFA)?

How does infant mortality relate to measles case mortality rate?
It's a different topic entirely.

How do you come this conclusion when Canada backed out like pussies with their 25% energy tariff? Limp dick energy.

It’s a joke and it’s funny don’t read to much into. Have a laugh and enjoy it. I like some things he does and other things i think he’s is delusional.

I don’t have a team in this fight i just enjoy a good meme when i see one

Im just using this image for another discussion. Not disputing what is in it.

Not saying it’s true or i believe it but it is possible the drop in share markets are deliberate. There could be more money being made on the drop through short selling (betting on a share to drop).

The large American financial groups are massive shorters in our share market. It’s all legal manipulation through share power.

Don’t be fooled that your super has fallen 8% in a month just because the ASX has. In all likelihood they have lost money as you never go full short unless you know something and our superfunds would not know what trump is doing but American fund managers might.

Also when a share market runs that hot. Including our own it’s nit always a good thing unless you are a phonominal investor who times the top and bottoms.

There is a reason superfunds talk about there success over 5/10 year periods.

Let’s face it we are in cost of living crisis and people are struggling and the share market is at a high. Corporate profits over the people.

Also 11.5% super from everyones wages alot of that goes into the share market. That money had to be invested so it can inflate share markets as a lot of money is invested in our top stocks.

I wouldn’t put it past trump to be profiteering off a slump but who really knows.

People follow Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway to see what his thoughts are on markets.
Maybe they should start following Peter Dutton. (Joke relax).

Ironically Peter Dutton was actually stupid for selling those bank shares a week later. Had he held them he would have made a fortune.

 

[Big Al]

pass it on

We should have been doing that already but we can’t afford to be picky due to cost of living.

But if we shop at coles and Woolworths the money stays in Aus.

But also don’t forget alot of products are owned by overseas but production is here. This was a big mistake by Albo. He is trying to do it softly and it’s not wrong to promote Australian but alot of it is gone.

Trump. The economic genius

He also tweeted that the American Champagne industry will be boosted by him tantrum-tariffing Europe.

But on the beef....if the red belt is feeling it that might actually hurt the republicans (assuming they have any more free elections)

Elon Musk Defends Hitler, Mao and Stalin​

Unelected White House advisor Elon Musk retweeted a post on Thursday that blamed the atrocities committed by Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong on — we are not making this up — public sector workers.

"Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn't murder millions of people," the post, which he shared to his over 200 million followers, reads. "Their public sector workers did."

The baffling tweet further highlights Musk's toxic embrace of extreme right-wing beliefs. The billionaire's well-documented antisemitism came to a head earlier this year when he performed two Hitler salutes during Trump's inauguration celebration. Musk has also made light of the Holocaust by making distatestul Nazi puns on his social media network.

The entrepreneur also made an appearance at a rally for the Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right nationalist party, telling the attending crowd that "there is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that."

The post also highlights Musk's long-established disdain for public sector workers. With the help of his so-called Department of Government Efficiency, the mercurial CEO has gutted government agencies while laying off thousands.

His latest retweet drew an overwhelmingly shocked response.

"America’s public service workers — our nurses, teachers, firefighters, librarians — chose making our communities safe, healthy and strong over getting rich," said Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the country's largest public sector union, in a statement. "They are not, as the world’s richest man implies, genocidal murderers."

"Elon Musk and the billionaires in this administration have no idea what real people go through every day," Saunders added. "That’s why he’s so willing to take a chainsaw to people’s jobs, Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare."

"Elon Musk’s disgusting defense of Hitler, Stalin and Mao is deranged," the Democratic Majority for Israel tweeted. "For an American official to try to whitewash the role of leaders who ordered mass murder is reprehensible and unacceptable."

"Musk should be removed," the group wrote. "He must apologize and accept counseling and education on the evils of the Holocaust and other episodes of mass murder."

The baffling tweet leaves plenty of questions unanswered. Does Musk genuinely think that public sector workers are really to blame for the atrocities committed by perpetrators of genocide? What does Musk have to gain from sharing such a callous argument?

Users on social media were left appalled.

"Musk is an absolutely depraved and evil man," one user on Bluesky wrote. "Defending Stalin, Hitler, and Mao in order to justify firing VA nurses and park rangers? How does one come to hate civil servants so much? Insane, and dangerous."

Others pointed out that Musk's secretive cabal of DOGE operatives currently rampaging through the US government closely resembles the close ranks of leaders who actually carried out their crimes.

"So many of the murderers in these regimes were not career civil servants, but political toadies who jumped over existing cadres of civil servants because they could implement their dictator's will quickly," another user wrote. "Just like DOGE."

On Musk's own social media platform, users took a lighter tone.

"We have reached the 'Hitler did nothing wrong' stage of Elon Musk totally not being a Nazi," one user tweeted.
