The Biden (interim) Dictator

[sonofdaxjones]

It’s a pickle as to where to post this.

I was just in WeHo, the Starbucks there is closing because WeHo upped the minimum wage.

Amazon had a crap fit about unionization at their BHAM distribution center. 

I’m going to need to get a ruling from Lick on where Chipotle and Starbies falls on the #blueanon most favored American oligarch/Megacorp meter.

I also need to ask if Jeff “Democracy as we define it dies in the darkness” Bezos has lost points because of his recent social media criticism of our mentally incapacitated President and his #shitshow administration.

What else was it about, dax?

Some analysts say it’s the highly charged politicized culture that exists within the DOD.

You mean them banning confederate flags?

This DeflectoBot never stops.

When you know you support a shitshow-play the DeflectoBot game hard. #thumbsup

Do you want youyr troops identifying with such a loser brand?  they might as well put up a ku football flag

DefelectoBotGe: ENGAGE!

China's fuel exports . . . plunging  (chiding the pro's and adults that they'll come begging in the process)

China's acquisition of Russian oil . . . accelerating

Iranian energy minister meets Putin on tarmac in Turkey (Erdo back on the coup list for this meeting??)

3 more countries allegedly signing on to BRICS (which for the Confederacy of Not Knowers Xi openly espouses as the replacement for SWIFT and similar)

Now that #neoconGe/#blueanonGe - DeflectoBots have weighed in, here's some reasons why recruiters are saying #neoconGe may have trouble the next time they want to send the U.S. into another useless war (like the one being planned for Iran). 

The civilian medical record crossover into this https://www.health.mil/Military-Health-Topics/MHS-Transformation/MHS-GENESIS

On an ADHD drug/anti-anxiety drug:  Denied (thanks Big Pharma)

Get a concussion playing football in high school:  Denied

Out-of-Pocket expense required to get a civilian medical doctor to write up a waiver to be used to garner potential admittance into the military

Rural recruitment way down due to the above reasons and also partially due to perception of overriding social agenda politics in the military.

Chipotle, Amazon, starbies will all unionize then they will be good.

[sonofdaxjones]

They're going to narrow focus this down to a nothing burger.  But  at the notion that Pete didn't know anything.  Hunter and his BFF's at Seneca would often go visit Pete in the WH right after they got back from a business trip overseas. 

On top of Pete just happening to be in the neighborhood when Hunter was hosting a business dinner.

This isn’t the recession you were looking for (Dem administrations only). 

Definitions these days are very fluid depending on the politics.

I am no defender of the Biden adminstration, but two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth has never been a strict definition of a recession. It is a general rule of thumb, but the NBER takes more things into account when determining a recession.

I don’t recall a time when 2 negative back-to-back was not called a recession.

It’s all going according to plan. May need to go in and get those nukes after all.

Maybe the international news thread? You typically use this thread for posting things you blame Biden for, hence the confusion.

Good for you.

The NBER declared a recession in the spring of 2020 even though we had not experienced two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth. If you would like to learn about Business Cycle Dating, I will refer you to the NBER website on it.

I don’t need any lessons on business cycle dating.  Again, please provide me examples where two consecutive negative quarters was not classified as a recession.

If we have to go in and take control of their nukes, who gives that order?

I don't know if there are or not, but two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth is not the definition of a recession. End of story. In both 2001 and 2020, we experienced recessions and did not experience two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth. This means the definition of a recession is not two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth. It's possible that every time we've experienced two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth has been a period of recession, but that is just a correlative coincidence.

Just to be clear, defining a recession as two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth is a myth.

Again, please document when two consecutive negative quarters has not been called a recession by this group  of alleged experts.

Are we potentially headed into unprecedented territory? 

[steve dave]

We’ve been in unprecedented economic territory for like 3 consecutive years now Dax.

[sonofdaxjones]

We’ve been in unprecedented economic territory for like 3 consecutive years now Dax.

Thanks Master of the Obvious.

I suppose we’ll just have to accept the “we’ll know a recession when we see it” unilateral mandate of this so called panel of experts on the Executive Branch payroll . . . which weirdly issues a reminder that they decide what is or isn’t a recession as we run up to the midterm.

Meanwhile the general historical consensus is that a two straight quarters of negative growth is recession.  As Yellen is still out there blabbing around about transition.

Sadly #blueanon continues to worship this dimwit because he repeatedly affirms what they want to hear
