Stay lean and keep your head on a swivel. Ain’t no politician gonna save this. I feel sorry for the weak and helpless. 

You also forgot dumb, you know, the ones up to their eyeballs in debt............."I deserve it"! 

Amazing how all those debt riddled fools believe they deserve so much more than they really do. Now they get to find out the hard way.

This is the longest in US history the yield curve has been inverted.  Typically, interest rates are higher for longer terms, think a 36 month car loan vs an 84 month car loan.  Recently, the 3 month yield has been higher than the 10 year yield.  Any yield curve inversion is typically followed by a recession.  The longer and deeper the inversion, the worse the recession.

It's delusional to think we just have a soft landing and the economy never contracts.  The plant closures, layoffs, and hiring freezes will continue.

We are at $8.84.  HODL!

Fisker is down to 4 cents a share.  I was thinking of trading in my Aldi quarter for 6 shares.  Not sure if I should risk it though, I need to have something to carry my groceries around in.

interesting... 

Not really, when it comes to pointing out hypocrisy, I'm non partisan.

I almost spit my coffee out the first time I heard that dumb cunt MTG shitting all over herself over SLF and she received a PPP loan of over $180,000, unfucking believably stupid that woman is.

Corporate America also reaps the rewards of a well educated society.

But yeah adding 4 more years to public education = baaaaad.

 

Amazing how all of these educated kids can't figure out how to pay their loans back themselves. Apparently they weren't educated very well. 

All the wealthy PPP'ers who took gobs of money they didn't need it......all indicative that our govt. has become so inept and corrupt, it needs to burn.

Hey dumbass.  I said it was free to YOU.  Huge difference.  Instead now you get to pay back what you didn't take.  Never did I say it was a logical program, but it was there and if the government is manipulating the economy and you ignore it you are fucking yourself.

You sound like a liberal douchebag with your justification, when the govt. hands out money it is not fucking free, somebody, some how has to pay for it, dumb motherfucker.

any disdain for the elected officials who siphoned off the PPP fund @snoughnut?  

 

 

 

 

Congress created PPP loans—then at least 12 members reaped their benefits

Hundreds of millions of dollars also flowed to political consultants, opposition research shops, law firms, advocacy organizations and trade associations whose work is based around influencing government and politics.

I don't support the student loan bullshit at all... but I did bring some receipts from the hypocrites you have full faith in. 

Yep, every single one of those greedy slobs can die in a fire, regardless of whether they're R's or D's.

Didn't miss the point.  To you it is free.  Outside of the portion you'll be paying back in taxes, but now instead you get to pay without getting the free part to you.  Idiotic.  Blaming that shit on trust is sad.  

You're just being really dumb right now. Any govt. agency that doles out funds like PPP is not free which you stated it was, you are not very bright. PPP was worse than the TARP bailout, at least the banks paid that back and not to mention 200 billion of PPP was fraud. Now just imagine the resources and money it costs the taxpayer for the FBI and other investigative agencies to investigate the fraud alone. Give your head a shake.............."Govt. money is free"! good one Derphaven.............retard.

Sort of an idiot if you don't take free money.  Policy was jacked and dumb as fuck, but even more stupid to not take what is offered to you.

Some of us have integrity and don’t trust govt. and you’re a complete moron if you think that money was free, super stupid for you to say that. Yet you missed the point of my post, not surprised.

You take out a loan, you pay it back plain and simple. Has nothing to do with free education in other countries. That’s a different conversation 

What about all those wealthy greedy slobs who took the PPP loans? PPP had a far greater price tag than SL’s. All those capitalists who took it are now socialists.

Liberals say the same about you and your ilk. I think you’re both fucking nuts 

Liberals can say what they want, they’re used to lying. The fact is liberal ideas are far, far more radical and it’s not even close.

Step out of your echo chamber. Lots of people support Biden for the same idiotic reasons Trump supporters support Trump. 

Wrong again, the only thing Democrats shit themselves over is abortion and Trump says mean things. The Democrats and their progressive, radical retarded ideas are far worse than the Repubs and that's a fact. 

Regardless of what side of the aisle you're on, I always get a chuckle out of this.

Sub Divisions were repossessed or stopped , home building dumped.. ..local banks went under,  contractors went under .. horrible time for civil engineering....

I was working in Hartford, CT in 1989, that was their last hay day.. the 90's were dismal economic times..... City has never came back....

I've never heard anybody say that, from my point of view the 90's were great. The Great Recession and Covid were far worse than anything that happened in the 90's. Do you live under a rock? The 90's were a boom compared to the Great Recession and Covid and Covid wasn't as bad as the GR.

The extreme right doesn't want to save America, not even close.  Neither does the extreme left.  Both want to change it drastically fo fit their agenda.  Both agendas are highly flawed.  If you support either extreme you are a blind fool.

The Democrats are loaded with radical extremism, Global Warming BS is another one that wasn't brought up in this thread.

Slave Reparations is another, taxpayer funded transgender reassignment surgery was another.

Give me some radical extremism other than Abortion that comes from Republicans.

Nina D on what it took to cover Eruption with a violin. Her last paragraph states perfectly why I believe EVH was the greatest guitar player ever.

Eruption - Van Halen - Violin Cover by Nina D My journey to learn Eruption began a few years ago, when I only had access to a 5-string fretless violin. I learned a small bit of it, and quickly realized that I would need to compromise the octave range, and the finger tapping in order to perform it. There are a few covers out there of violinists doing just that, and they are very impressive. Anyone who knows me, knows that I did not want to do that. I wanted to sound like Eddie. Thus began my journey with the 7-string fretted violin. Pretty much the entire reason for having this instrument custom-made (thanks Wood Violins crew!) was to see if I could play Eruption. At the time of purchase, I wasn’t even sure if it would be physically possible to do the finger tapping, even with the new instrument. Upon its arrival, my first task was to learn how to play the darn thing- it’s like a completely different instrument, the neck is huge, I am tiny, and the low strings are super thick. (I also had to buy a special bow to properly play it). If your bow arm falters by a millimeter, you will hit the surrounding strings. Once I had this part somewhat down, I knew I had to dive into the hardest part right away- to answer the question, “but will it tap?” I began with transcribing this beast of a solo into notation. If you play guitar, and you want to learn how to play pretty much anything, you can go to YouTube and find slow note for note tutorials on EXACTLY how to do so. This doesn’t exist for trying to translate guitar things to a violin. You’re on your own. I tried it out with my normal rig. Pretty much dead sound. Nothing happening but noise. I had a few ideas for specialty pedals. Since you can’t really go to the store and try pedals any more, I bought one, it didn’t work, shipped it back, bought a different one, didn’t work, shipped it back, etc. ad nauseam. Months went by. It seemed for every step forward I took in achieving this technique, I took two steps back with new problems. For months, my poor family listened to what sounded like a train wreck falling on top of a car wreck falling off the Empire State Building. Brody even said to me, “it ain’t gonna happen.” So I locked myself away until it did. I struggled and fought the limitations of the instrument. I had some hard practice days, but the best motivation for me is “it can’t be done.” It took a combination of newly learned left and right hand technique, played precisely, practiced slowly for clarity, FOREVER to even make the right sound. The spaces that you need to hit, quickly, on a fretted violin are much smaller than that of a guitar. I tweaked the effect chain and technique right up until the 11th hour on the very final day of doing this. One day near the end of it, I was practicing in the studio and Brody was taking a shower. When he got out, he said to me he thought I was playing the recording of Van Halen. That was my breakthrough day. I knew I was close. I haven’t worked this hard since my masters recital on classical violin. I’ve ripped up my fingers to shreds, they bled, they blistered. Eddie Van Halen was in a class all of his own. His sound, technique, rhythm, and musicality changed the game for all guitarists (and this electric violinist) that followed. I am a far better performer, a far better violinist, with a much larger range of abilities, thanks to the months (or years) I put into dissecting his style and taking the time to do this on a violin as close to how he did it (so effortlessly) on a guitar as possible. Thank you, EVH, for making so many of us better musicians.
