Re: Team Trump v/s Everyone

Wrong. It wasn’t. He hasn’t been convicted of engaging in such even if it was. Show me where in the 14th it says he has to be convicted and in which court. Section 5 of the 14th amendment where it gave Congress the power to enforce the amendment. And then they did with 18 U. S. C. §2383 which almos...

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread

:dunce: Perhaps? Try definitely. Not all of the inflated profits were intentional. Companies raised prices based on their costs at the time and what they estimated they would be after inflation continued to rise. Some estimated high on accident and others took advantage of the situation. If the gov...

Re: Shipping Migrants Inland

That was illegal immigration a decade ago - people coming to fill work that we couldn't find people here to do. But that was millions of people ago. There's nowhere near the amount of fruit to be picked for the swaths of people streaming across the border now. Biden dismissed this as a seasonal sur...

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread

Everyone except for the consumer. Again, don't let inflation get out of hand in the first place (i.e. rampant and sudden increase in government spending, giving a shock to the supply of money) and none of this happens. Predictable, stable, and low inflation is and has always been the goal of the Fe...

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread

Price gouging didn't cause the inflation. You could argue that gouging (both intentional and unintentional) prolonged the inflationary period, but if you don't lose control of in the first place then you don't get the opportunity for gougers to pile on. Gouging wasn't a cause, it was a result. :cof...

So you disagree with the 14th Amendment and due process? The irony is that the decision by the Colorado Supreme Court flies in the face of actual due process. There was no due process here - folks used a rather limited Colorado electoral code law and stretched it to get their desired outcome. And e...
