The_Dude Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Does anybody know the specifics of what we gained/lost by this? And can anybody with a thorough understanding of macro economics break it down for those of us not in finance and economics?

DC Tom Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Being a chucklehead isn't hard, either. Chucklehead.
3rdnlng Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 DC Tom & DR: you should both be ashamed of yourselves. Do you steal candy from a baby and snatch the purses of little old ladies? Hit a man when he's down and jump movie theatre lines? You're asking a man barely able to remember his multiplication tables to do algebra 101. Think of what you guys have done with his psyche. 1

I'm sure they also park in handicapped spaces while handicapped people make handicapped faces! 3

First of all, there's no such thing as "a thorough understanding of macro economics". Economics, especially macro, is a field of study and theory which is constantly evolving, and widely disputed. Secondly, even if it were explained to you, there's a strong chance you'd deny it was economics anyhow. 1 1

My senior year of high school, we were given an assignment to find a song that best represents us and play it for the class. That was my choice. 1

What is it that you do for a living that allows you so much time for message boarding?

Tell me, did you find that we won the Textiles battle? I read it -- it was a little hard for me to make heads-n-tails of. What's your expert take? Did we come out better on textiles than we were with the original NAFTA deal? I mean, clearly you read it. Just now, DC Tom said: My favorite line from my favorite song. Tom Petty?

Some people, given their track records of success, acquire positions which allow them a good deal of flexibility throughout their day, so long as they deliver on their work. I can't imagine you understand what that looks like. 1
