What does the DOW do when there is fear of an economic recession?

No that is just good business and capitalism. But the price of gas, that is socialism.

Yes, like I said, a massacre had already taken place by then. So no, a massacre was not stopped.

So when the Fed signals even higher interest rates...the DOW should not go up right? At least not based on what you are saying.....

Right, the DOW is where you put your money when it becomes clear a recession is on the way.

Pretty sure a massacre already took place by that point. So nothing, nothing stopped the massacre.

Thought I read there was an armed guard who spotted the shooter before he went into the school.

Yes which is why today, when it became clear the Fed is poised to increase rates even further than the market anticipated, the market crash.....oh wait, the DOW actually went up almost 200 points.

And yet when Trump addresses the NRA convention, guns will be banned from the facility.

Guns will not be allowed during Trump's speech at the NRA..... https://www.npr.org/2022/05/25/1101181842/nra-trump-speech-guns-banned-houston?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

If the Republicans have taught me anything is that those who are poor are simply too lazy to work for the American Dream.

And most DZ's want you to have USPA or similar membership so you have insurance in place should that be needed when your skydiving activities cause damage or death to other people.

This explains it pretty decently: https://fortune.com/2022/05/17/us-infant-baby-formula-shortage-imports-fda-nutrition-tariffs-usmca/ "The U.S. imposes high tariffs—up to 17.5%—on imported baby formula. Formula is also subject to a mechanism called a tariff-rate quota, where additional duties can be placed on goods once total imports pass a certain level. As part of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), negotiated by President Donald Trump to replace the North America Free Trade Agreement in July 2020, Canada agreed to impose an additional surcharge of $3/kg if the total volume of its global formula exports—not just exports to the U.S.—broke a certain threshold. That threshold is currently set at 40,480 metric tons for the current "dairy year" of August 1 2021 to July 31 2022. The new duties seemingly closed off Canada as a source of infant formula. The U.S. imported a grand total of zero tons of baby formula from its northern neighbor in 2021, yet has shipped tons of domestic formula into Canada. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S.-manufactured infant formula made up the largest component of U.S. dairy exports to Canada in 2021, accounting for 22% of all northbound dairy trade."

Lots of countries were at gas prices that you are just now getting to.

Maybe instead of active shooter drills they should have causation and correlation drills in American schools.

Is this freedom? Is this really what freedom is supposed to be all about?

If it isn't the easy availability of guns and the culture of dragging them everywhere with you, then it must be that Americans are more mentally defective than other Western nationalities. I have a hard time believing that is true. I feel so, so sorry for Billy's kids.

Happy to hear the Black Russian Terrier found a way to a new home. Quite fond of that breed. Gratuitous pic of my dog with her two best friend Black Russians:

lol

Just a side question: if you have heard about the BLM issues in the news, but you haven't heard about the wealth accumulated by Ivanka and Jarod during their time in office, can you specifically really complain about a liberal bias in the media?

WARNING - there are words after you click on the link

Well, he was Dark while trying to Make America Great Again.

pffff $65,000,000 is chump change. Jared and Ivanka made 10x that during their years grifting in the White House....and then were given $2 BILLION as a thank you by the Saudis for all their help while they were in the White House. As a side note, the tax documents are in the AP link I provided. But then I can appreciate that clicking on a link and seeing THAT many words might create some anxiety for you.
