Going to post this on Trump inauguration Eve for posterity:

The upcoming administration is going to be a catastrophe for the American people and the world.

Biden and Trump decided to run 7%+ deficits to GDP for no good reason other than electoral need. This is way overdue. (Gold really started to rise in the final two Biden years when pandemic deficits failed to normalize and got mega boosted again with the deficit busting OBBB)

Any analysis of the Tories 'consigned to absurdity and irrelevance' that doesn't list immigration, immigration and immigration at the very top isn't worth taking seriously.

Lots of Gestapo guys ended up seamlessly fitting into the NKVD.

Canada Is Killing Itself

The country gave its citizens the right to die. Doctors are struggling to keep up with demand.

That’s a very generous approval rating in comparison to…every other poll out there right now.

It was a mistake for Democrats to run away from the Deplorables comment. The proper thing to do is hang the ugly people on the other side around your political opponents neck.

Yes, actually they do. This is well established in economic statistics. The number is highly variable but there is a decent supply creates its own demand piece.

Ditto for gdp growth. And it doesn’t mean the population will credit you for a strong economy as Joe Biden found out.

James @jamesdcos.bsky.social · Aug 6

It’s easy to have massive monthly job growth when you are presiding over huge population growth legal and illegal. That’s just math.

2-8 L10. I guess it could be worse, Pirates are about to be 0-10, but they have 1/10th the payroll of the Dodgers.

Masai didn't think Pascal was worth a max contract extension.

When the 2020's history of Raptors basketball is written it's going to be called 'Afraid of the Luxury Tax: The 2020's Raptors' with the subtitle 'when you gas up your players until you have to pay them.'

He has been a particularly forceful proponent of gun control after massacres in the US. This might get ugly from the US right.

No, that's not what I'm saying, but I really hope you enjoyed attacking an imaginary argument.

If a population has a birth rate of 1.1 for a sustained period of time the 50% reduction happens. But if it happens again the 50% comes from the already halved population. The math accelerates exponentially. Eventually a bottom will be found but turning it around is way harder if identified late.

James @jamesdcos.bsky.social · Apr 12

This is a bad math take.

The capitulation of the law firms, like the prior collapse of Republican elected officials, is a lesson in the rot that's hollowed out so many of the pillars of our establishment beneath a nice and presentable surface.

He keeps telling us that he was saved by God to enact the things he campaigned on doing, that's all you need to know in one sentence.
