    Krugman made a factual statement (in 2022) that turned out to be correct:

    CPI was forecast to be 0.09%. Let’s see where it came in at:

    Hey so, if inflation is running at half a percent month-over-month what's the annual inflation rate? Is that the same thing as no inflation?

    "false statement about me," indeed. Just because Jong doesn't understand what a thing means does not mean the statement is false

    David Sacks is bad news. He was also behind the SVB bank run. And after he panicked about it crying "bank-run!!!" he demanded a federal bailout. He's a cynical depraved degenerate taking misaligned incentives to the highest levels of corruption

    Who's your audience? People who have someone else on ignore but not you? People who can't read the "0.1" the chart where it says "Aug'22?"

    Obviously, it's people who can't read the 0.48 in the chart. More to the point it's the idea that inflation was over in 22'. That didn't turn out to be the case, right? Or are you arguing Krugman was right all along because of one cherry-picked data point? If that's the case then please explain why in January 2025 the 30-Year fixed mortgage rate, for example, finally dropped below 7-percent to 6.98-percent?

    Because no one knows the difference between core and CPI. Or you don't. Whatever. John Cleese did it better.

    The Fed relies more on Core CPI because of the shortcoming in broader CPI. I thought it was a well known fact that the Fed is on record as using core data as its primary inflation gauge?

    Setting that aside and to the larger point, are you arguing that 0.1 or 0.09 is somehow meaningful in the broader context? Doesn't it fail the smell test in the sense of what that implies? If so, that's a really innumerate facile argument because that would mean annual inflation in 22' was somewhere around 1-percent.

    Absurd, right?

    You should watch the video. Edit more first if you want, but there's some good technique to be picked up there.

    If Molly White is only now learning about the industries criticism of the Biden admin's strategy for killing crypto by going after law abiding entities and letting scammers run wild then she hasn't been paying attention. That's one of the reasons why left-leaning tech bros shifted support to Trump.

    Which, in the least surprising turn of events ever, makes it actually insane that a lifelong grifter managed to surprise an entire industry of grifters who were not expecting him to grift with such extraordinarily massive levels of grifting

    Not everyone was surprised. Though people in here repeatedly tried to label me a Trumper, despite me stating repeatedly I did not vote for him, or support him, I always knew that Trump cares about one person and that's Trump. Meanwhile, there are plenty of people in here who seem to think that Bitcoin is just going to go away and get a free pass for their delusion.

    Oh wow yeah you caught me - I made up a fake quote by Trump. Guilty! I thought no one would notice. I guess the classic FIFY comment ruined my ruse. Holy fuck you’re smart to have caught all that LOL.

    And you got really triggered and defensive about this. It’s the padded room dipshit - if you can’t laugh about how you posted on how Trump is ushering in a new era of crypto acceptance right before he made shit coins to rug pull crypto stans well then you need to step away from the computer.

    Go ahead and explain though how I am trying to play the victim. I’ll take your silence on this as just further ineptitude on your part.

    Just hours after he delivered an impassioned benediction at President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Reverend Lorenzo Sewell announced the launch of his own crypto token dubbed $Lorenzo. “I need you to do me a favor right now,” he said in a video on X. “I want you to be able to see politics become manifest, not just in the way where we’re praying over political gatherings, but we’re seeing us become the hands and the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Sewell urged his supporters to purchase his token in order to fund his ministry’s projects, which he said included providing transportation, housing, education, and medical services. “I need you to do me a favor and go and get that coin in order for us to accomplish the vision that God has called us to do in our Earth,” he said. “I give God glory for what he has done, but we know that King’s dream can only be fulfilled if we acknowledge that people are living in a nightmare.”

    If your argument is that there were no grifters scamming off of religion before crypto, then you're either an idiot, or you're guilty of being disingenuous, which is exactly what you accuse me of being.

    Sorry skippy, I simply made a post, that is all.

    And that is all I have to say about that.
