Can’t argue with his age. Average life expectancy of an 81 year old man is 7 years. Actuarial tables give him like a 65% chance of finishing his next term if he were in normal health. He probably has like an 80% chance… 20% isn’t a small chance of dying though.
Feel free to stay out of my threads. All you’ve done is add insults. In fact click your profile and notice that 17 of your last 20 posts are just insults. You dont even accidentally add value or humor like the russian trolls.
The age doesn't bother me. I'm not a fan of ageism. And I always think the sign of a good President/CEO is who he/she surrounds himself with. And Biden has done a very good job filling his cabinet with mostly smart, competent people who do a decent job and do a better job at advising the POTUS. Just compare that with Trump. How many of his cabinet members left, resigned, or were fired in his term? How many aren't currently supporting his 2024 candidacy? Biden hasn't been perfect, but he's exponentially better than Trump. And there is no heir apparent on the D side that is guaranteed to do better. Add that to the fact Joe wants to run again and what are we to do?
Layoffs Surge To 14-Month High As Inflation Crushes Employers Huge revisions to government jobs data have wiped out a large number of initially announced gains, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics overestimating the number of jobs in the economy by an average of 105,00 per month in 2023, equating to around 1.3 million fewer jobs. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia has also come out with a projection for the third quarter of 2023 estimating that employment counts rose by only 186,000 instead of the current count of 640,000. Yea great alright
Does pooping one's own pants, and NOT pooping one's one's pants, matter? Also, I not sure some of those Biden achievements are accurate.
City has explained how the numbers are compiled a few months ago when they had to reduce the number of jobs added. I am not speaking for him but if I understood and this indeed the facts of how they determine the jobs for the year is to take the number of jobs Jan 1 and then the number Dec 31. The difference would how many jobs added. Probably more simple than actual and may not be exactly what he tried to explain in an earlier thread.
Biden just tanked all of our markets with his ill-fated call to lecture and threaten Netanyahu. Ordering Israel to negotiate with terrorists (Hamas) is not a winning American policy. The Dow has swung 861 points.
Check again. And the Fed will be late to cut rates. Things have changed drastically in the construction/development industry in the last 2 months.
Actually this is the reason that the market tanked. Biden's conversation of Netanyahu probably had little or not effect. A morning rally sputtered Thursday afternoon as oil prices soared and Fed officials cast doubt on whether the central bank will cut interest rates this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 1% lower Thursday afternoon, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.7%. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said during a virtual LinkedIn event that the Fed may not need to cut interest rates at all in 2024 if inflation continues to move sideways. His comments echoed those of some other Fed officials who have called into question the timing and number of this year's rate cuts.

And why do you think oil prices hit their highest price in six months? Oil hit that high right after news of the Biden/Israeli conversation hit the airwaves. The financial media doesn't wish to embarrass our already embarrassing POTUS.
Biden reminds me of an older Bill Clinton without the cigars. Steering whatever he can in a straight line, not making too many waves. He hasn’t done anything worth complaining about. I’m ok with another 4 years with a conservative USSC and checks and balances.
Oil prices rose because the market heard that the war in Lebanon might be curtailed? Biden indicating displeasure with Israel somehow increased political risk, causing prices to rise? Or just......"Biden bad!!" Edit : Ooops, I missed it. The media is also bad.
I agree the economy is cooling off from a strong run. Fed cuts are late, they panicked on a 0.1% inflation tick.
Not exactly Einstein. Netanyahu's response to Biden's request to negotiate with Hamas is more likely. But a warning about Iran attacking Israeli embassies was also the culprit. And please get it straight...Biden demented. From Bloomberg: The stock market rally gave up gains in the afternoon for a second straight session.... Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will be aggressive vs. Iran and its allies, declaring, "Those who harm us or plan to harm us, we will harm." That triggered stock a market reversal and another gain in crude oil futures. Netanyahu's statement came as President Joe Biden pushed hard for an Israeli cease-fire with Hamas.
LOL. What are you even saying? You paste from an unlinked Bloomberg article that references specific Netanyahu comments and you mention "a warning about Iran attacking embassies" as the reason crude went higher........but you originally had said "oil hit that high right after news of the Biden/Israeli conversation hit the airwaves" as if that conversation were the reason for oil gains. Do you actually even understand the things that you supposedly read? It certainly seems not, but we do because you're not posting solely to a bunch of Trumpers, Einstein.
