Well this is going to be a close one. Final NBC poll tied at 49% apiece

She was chosen because of her gender and race.. Biden openly said he was going to do so.

That's 100% correct. Gender and race are not "skills." You can try to back out now.

they probably deserve a massive punishment but I don’t think killing anyone is the best choice. Just wait until Trump mishandles another pandemic, that will thin out the MAGA herd again.

What’s really going to be funny is when a number of Hispanic men who overwhelmingly favored Trump by more than double digits get caught up in Trump’s concentration camps because they brown. Then we will see how much they like Donnie’s immigration policies.

You geniuses who think tariffs and shipping out immigrants won’t blow inflation up like a hot air balloon are going to be crying like toddlers. I’ll be here for all of it.

I won’t disappear when things don’t go my way like the panty wastes who suddenly came back the last two days.

You need a hug Bro! Yikes!!

So now deflation is going to happen and it’s going to be ok because one time the Swiss survived it. Got it. And you criticizing Biden’s appointments after they saved our country from his Covid disaster is really priceless.

Once again he is inheriting a strong economy. Let’s see how he does.

A long term UC Berkeley study found that economist where correct about 23% of the time and can barely predict economic developments past 1 quarter.

Economist are horrible at their job because.... well they are just guessing using outdated and biased models and view points. Often view points that are politically motivated...On both sides

A Psychic chicken could hit at a 23% rate. But people keep touting up those experts as EXPERTS. That is part of the issue we have in large part people getting a economic degree and controlling things is really laughable and worthless. 23% prediction rate is insane and that people give them any credence is even more mind boggling. .

This is the definition of a red herring in the actual discussion that was going on. We were talking about economic trends of the past. This study is about overprecision in economists predictions, a.k.a. the future (which, incidentally, didn't show that the predictions were wildly wrong, just that they were slightly over-precise in their predictions when a slightly wider range would have been better). Did you also know that a couple of the sources used in the study were from weather forecasting studies?

Also, a point of intellectual consistency, why are you trusting the expert economists who authored the study if you don't trust economists? Do you trust economists or do you not? Or do you only trust economists when their information matches what you want it to say? We are all guilty of this on occasion, of course.

Just so we are clear here: I am not saying that economists are perfect, or even great: I'm saying that not only do you not know what you're talking about in this instance; you are intellectually inconsistent in this instance; and you are an absolutely flawless example of the Dunning-Kruger effect on this subject (which we all are on at least some things).

But none of this means I can't have a discussion with you or that I dislike you in any way; on the contrary, as much as I disagree with your points of view and methods of argumentation, I greatly prefer an argument with a person that at least attempts to argue with words rather than memes far more often than not.

I can tell you this, the economists who told Trump cutting taxes during a time of economic prosperity will cause the economy to overheat were 100% correct.

But you are arguing with someone who says Trump has shown no cognitive decline whatsoever, so it’s like bashing your head against a wall trying to have a serious discussion.
