Dude, he's a good guy. I think people are equating each other's government with the actual people a little too much under the current circumstances. People in Texas are great. Especially all the way down south. Some of the nicest people I ever met in my life were many generations removed Mexican Americans down in Donna, Texas. Salt of the earth those people.
The sky won't fall.
Most Americans aren't as dickish as the belligerent folks here. Just click ignore if they're assholes.
I don't think any of those really reflect economic conditions for the average American worker. To keep things simple, how about we say for you to win this gentleman's bet 2025 real GDP growth rate needs to exceed 2024's 2.8%?Let's say inflation, consumer confidence index and my portfolio.
Are you fucking kidding me ? You think GDP matters more to average American workers than inflation ? Your screws are getting loose brother.
The official GDP number is absolute bullshit. Do you really believe the number they are throwing around?
Because GDP is calculated by crooked politicians and inflation is what the people see everyday.
I was in Northern MN a week and a half ago, and I am going again this upcoming week, for what may be the last time in a long while.
Inflation data is massaged too, probably more than GDP. Look, I'm just trying to keep it simple. If you have a better metric then suggest it, but inflation doesn't tell us much. The great depression was highly deflationary. The stock market reflects Fed money printing and corporate buy-backs as much as the true state of the economy and CCI is just a survey.
My Wife worked in the US for a few years. I spent 50 % of my time there when she did. I have traveled throughout the US hundreds and hundreds of times. I have friends in the US, they are NOT anything like these fools who post the nonsense here.
Duluth is ok in the summer. The best places I know of up there are all in the woods away from other Minnesotans.
Watching the price of gold. It's not that gold is rising, it's that the dollar is weakening.

Totally. I've toured down the western States to Texas with some American bands and 90% of the people were great.
If you go by historic measurements, when a reserve currency fails, gold will be about 250k per ounce.
