Harris' middle-class tax credits would outweigh the decreased investment driven by higher corporate taxes

    Fuck Goldman Sucks. These assholes were all over the place helping Tump during his presidency. Tump’s treasury secretary was literally Goldman Sacks executive.

        Yep, when stocks start going south, the first thing to do is lower wages/fire people and the second is heighten prices.

        People shouldn’t be under the idea that problems in wall street mean the rich are becoming poor. It means the rich will be less rich and the poor will lose their jobs and suffer higher prices. The GFC was proof that wall street fucks up and the rest of the population finds out.

    Kamala: “I won’t raise the capital gains tax as much”

    Shortly thereafter: "she’s good for the economy’

    These rich fucks have us bent over the table. Any time one of them says something will be 'bad for the economy", interpret it as a threat and it makes way more sense

      With coastal areas and islands being absorbed by the oceans, I wonder if yachts can be utilized and fitted to accommodate the displaced, in any meaningful way?

    Even the Vampire Squid has issues with fascism when it’s built around an erratic dictator in obvious cognitive decline. They’re okay with squeezing a little less for a few years if it means the entire system doesn’t collapse in on itself.

      Trump abandoning NATO, Russia going on the war path, and full-blown nuclear World War 3 would probably be bad for business.

    Assuming by “economy” we mean “wall street’s ledgers,” there could easily be a massive correction/recession/depression coming up, and the president wouldn’t make much of a difference there. What they do to recover from it could differ a lot, as seen with Trump/Biden, Bush/Obama, or any number of older examples.

    Today I’m looking at battlegrounds…

    Arizona: Trump 47%, Harris 45%

    Georgia: Trump 47%, Harris 45%

    Michigan: Harris 48%, Trump 43%

    Nevada: Harris 49%, Trump 46%

    North Carolina: Trump 46%, Harris 45%

    Pennsylvania: Harris 46%, Trump 45%

    Wisconsin: Harris 47%, Trump 44%

    I think Arizona is under polling Dems again. Nonetheless, overall, if polling averages in the other states are accurate this would give Harris a narrow lead in the electoral college, 276 to 262.

      The prevalence of 45 and 47 among those numbers is kind of amusing.

    Should we give a shit about what Goldman Sachs says?

      Not usually, but it’s nice to know that wall street sees Trump as bad for the economy.

    Ted’s wife is a bigwig with Sachs. I wonder if she had input with this.

        I assumed it was Ted Cruz and I was proven correct. As much as I have disdain for both of them, I’d love to see Heidi exact some revenge on Trump for his misogynist drivel directed her way as an insult to her husband (who deserves far worse)

    Great for the oligarchy who sponsor this ridiculous popularity contest.

    Terrible for the rest of us.

      Trump is such a threat that we’ll all take the status quo and we’ll like it.
