Hah, sounds right! OT but it’s funny how AI has given the right ammunition in both attack and defence. Robinson blamed his prolific racist, anti-Semitic, pro Nazi porn site postings on an unnamed ‘billionaire’s son who has spent millions on AI to take me down’… on the same day that actual billionaire Elon Musk actually posted an AI image of Harris in a Soviet style blazer with hammer and sickle cap with the comment ‘can you believe she really wears this’.

When the first board of directors of a Fortune 500 company decides that one of the jobs AI can take over is that of CEO, then I might believe it ; )

What about Fox? Does it treat the biggest news network in the USA as a reliable source? If it does, it's regurgitating whatever it 'learns' there. If it's been told not to, isn't that an inherent bias? Ultimately, all the AI has done has given you a list of Trump supporter talking points for the Pro-Donald, anti-Kamala columns and a list of normal people talking points for the reverse. It's literally telling you that's what it's doing - 'appeals to those who...' 'is seen as ... by his supporters' 'popular choice for those who favour...' The only fact it is considering are the facts that someone said the stuff it is now repeating... though with AI even that isn't a guarantee.

Noooooo, I really don't think that's how AI works. AI doesn't understand policy, it can't evaluate anything on the merits in a fresh and original way. All it can do is collate and rehash what it sees real people saying.

No seriously, why is it that you think Presidents are solely responsible for everything that happens to the economy, with no lag or delay, except when it's something bad that happened under Trump?

So? Your Google search will also have showed you the Investopedia page that says there was an official recession in 2020, you're just choosing to lie about it. As you've been lying about everything else during this whole discussion. You know that makes it clear that your point is not very convincing, right?

Why is it that you think Presidents are money wizards?

How did he pull the country out of recession? Isn't it Democrat governors re-opening their states who get the credit? 5 (ahem) Democrat states are so important important they control the economy of the entire country? Well that's one way to prove that Republicans are better with money, I suppose. Also nice to know you're not being serious when you talk about people fleeing the California economy, obviously you think it's really twice as good as anyone else's.

BillV didn't say that, you're lying. Just like you lied about Google saying there was no Trump recession, just like you lied about NBER saying there was no Trump recession, just like you lied about not being able to make up your own facts.

Yeah, how about the NBER saying it was a recession? That's not a rhetorical question, BTW, I would actually like to hear your answer. The NBER's definition emphasizes that a recession involves a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and lasts more than a few months. In our interpretation of this definition, we treat the three criteria—depth, diffusion, and duration—as somewhat interchangeable. That is, while each criterion needs to be met individually to some degree, extreme conditions revealed by one criterion may partially offset weaker indications from another. For example, in the case of the February 2020 peak in economic activity, the committee concluded that the subsequent drop in activity had been so great and so widely diffused throughout the economy that, even if it proved to be quite brief, the downturn should be classified as a recession. https://www.nber.org/research/business-cycle-dating

Not from my Google it isn't. You can lie about the facts all you want but you're not likely to fool anyone who lives in reality.

I saw one story that said he wouldn’t be allowed to sell if it dropped below $12 by end of last week, which I don’t think happened? There may be more time/price restrictions after that. I’m pretty sure his shares are still theoretically worth ten figures at that price… but also that if he starts selling the price will crater. But anything he gets is pure profit, he’s put nothing in except facist memes and all caps rants.

You are just impervious to reality, aren’t you? He is the devil we know, Harris is who we know isn’t a devil. The Trump administration inherited a great economy not a global pandemic. We’ve just established that Trump really wanted to do the thing that you think makes Biden/Harris stupid, so how are they more stupid? Trump’s policy is to overturn the constitution and democracy as you know it. He already tried once and everyone around him has had four years to figure out how to do it properly this time.

Either balance transfers or spending depending on what you're after, but that's hardy buried in the small print. Between the two you can easily get what is essentially a 0% loan over a year, then a balance transfer might cost one or two percent up front but still much better value than paying up front.

December 29th, 2020: U.S. House approves $2,000 coronavirus aid checks sought by Trump Jan 14th, 2021: Biden puts $2,000 stimulus payments back in play Yes, Biden really did absolutely upend the Trump White House's cautious and considered personal stimulus plan with a brand new, wild and reckless personal stimulus plan. The choice at the ballot box is clear.

That, and (over here anyway) everyday easy access bank accounts are offering 5% interest when pre-Covid it would have been 1.5% or less, while 12mth 0% credit cards are still widely avaible. So even for people who don't invest or don't usually pay any attention to financial tools it's a no brainer to take free debt.

Don't worry - everyone already knows that the reason you keep on lying and lying and lying about the economy is so you can justify voting for Trump.

It's not that you got it wrong though, is it? You deliberately made up a bunch of numbers out of thin air to make it look like you were right, but couldn't even do that properly because you forgot that Trump was president right up until Biden was. You're also not right that reckless spending at these levels directly leads to inflation since it's directly contradicted by the evidence from the Trump and Biden administrations.

Yes, that sure helps you prove your made up numbers about the price of gold. Although since you can now only dodge the issue I suppose it does at least prove that you do get embarrassed.

Yes, it was going so well it directly lead to the election of Mugabe. People must have been very happy.

Wrong Bishop. The election was held because the Rhodesian government realised it coudn;t continue to fight the Bush war forever. Bishop Muzorewa won an election Mugabe and other main opposition parties weren't allowed to participate in, therefore his government did not solve any of the problems that had led to it coming into 'power' in the first place. Few in the west wanted Mugaba in power (he identified as a freakin' Marxist, not one of our usual good buddies) but they did lead negotiations for an actual election. Ironically, the western interference that ultimately lead to Mugabe was really the western interference that imposed white government on the nation in the first place - the one that you say was doing well.

Do you think the white goverment in a black country got there in the first place without western interference? And this excert from the Wikipedia history of the Bush War doesn't sound like everything was really goig so well... The Rhodesians' means to continue the war were also eroding fast. In December 1978, a ZANLA unit penetrated the outskirts of Salisbury and fired a volley of rockets and incendiary device rounds into the main oil storage depot – the most heavily defended economic asset in the country. The storage tanks burned for five days, giving off a column of smoke that could be seen 130 kilometres (80 mi) away. Five hundred thousand barrels (79,000 m3) of petroleum product (comprising Rhodesia's strategic oil reserve) were lost.[116] The government's defence spending increased from R$30 million, 8.5% of the national budget in 1971 to 1972, to R$400 m in 1978 to 1979, 47% of the national budget. In 1980, the post-independence government of Zimbabwe inherited a US$500 million national debt.[117]

Yes, that’s exactly my point. What was it? Because the numbers you just provided were either deliberately made up or you think genuinely think that someone else was President after Trump and before Biden. The peak price of gold during the Trump presidency was $861 higher than at his inauguration, or a 71% devaluation of the dollar as you want to argue. The peak of gold for Biden is $763 higher than at his inauguration, or a 40% devaluation as you want to argue it. So why don’t you care? Is it maybe because it really doesn’t even mean anything?

How do you figure the price of gold changed by $209 between the end of Trump’s presidency and the beginning of Biden’s? When do you think a presidency ends? The simple reality is that you’re making things up and inventing numbers while providing both the proof that you’re doing it and the proof that Trump was worse at the things you blame Biden for.

Then who was he being nasty to?
