Was just about to post this same thing. So much winning. The best winning ever.

Getting greater by the day. That’s what I remind myself of as I get notices of stop-loss orders being activated in my investment accounts :smile:

As a MERPAC alumnus, I have to say that this action confirms the ignorance and stupidity of the current administration and its unelected henchmen.

Meanwhile as everyone frets over tariffs, taking over Canada and Greenland Prime Minister Musk is gathering up all information of government contracts, personal health information, tax information and corporate information available in order to give him what the techies call the “God’s view” of control of the country for himself. There is NO doubt his incel acolytes are walking out the door with this information for the boss.
But the country will be OK, eggs will get cheaper, DEI is gone, the penny has been abolished and libs have been owned. :rofl:

That’s nice if you’re 35 years old and grow it by that much every 10 years you should be able to withdraw at least 40k a year at 65 to supplement your social security without touching principle.

(I meant it got cut in half…not that it’s 200k in there)…sarcasm

Anyone wanting an education on tariffs should study the Smoot Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 and see how that worked out. However it is difficult to educate people in a cult.

What’s that saying about history? Something about repeating itself…

Don’t worry. All the additional tax receipts efficiently collected and processed by the IRS after April 15 will serve as a financial jolt to spur the economy.

How’s that going to work 9,000 IRS employees have already been fired and more to come. Makes great sense if you want to bankrupt a country or company, Fire the people that collect the money.
Even the Onion couldn’t make this shit up. But this is what the MAGA crowd wanted so they can reap what they sowed.

But hey, hey, hey…inflation in January of 2025 must be lower than in all of 2024, right? President Musk, and Donald, promised it would happen.

The definition of a cult member is that they are too ignorant and stupid to recognize they are ignorant, stupid, and victims of their own ignorance and stupidity. Another definition is MAGA.

Inflation is not controlled by any president unless they restrict trade. Inflation is caused by too many people chasing too few goods. If a president restricts the amount of goods inflation results

Interesting that I just read through nearly 20 comments on this thread, that’s been opened for nearly half a day & not a signal comment on how any of these advisory boards benefits the maritime trade in any way or mention of how we’re going to be adversely affect by them being put on ice? Just the same, 3-5 usual Anti-Trump bashers spewing the same anti-Trump drivel. If this was an anti-Biden or anti-Obama thread with no comments discussing the supposed topic thread it would have been shut down after comment 12 or 15. Now lets see if the Trump administration gets rid of the new gender neutral mariner titles & brings back seaman books? These same 3-5 are going to hate that too probably.

So give us a good reason for abolishing the advisors.
