Joe Ferguson forever Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) Welp, there goes whatever was left of real Republicans. Conservative posters here aren't bothered. there aren't any traditional R's. The tent is getting smaller https://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-stock-markets-fate-all-depends-on-tariffs-080026877.html Guggenheim Partners Investment Management CIO Anne Walsh told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday that the "the on, then off, then on and then off again narrative" surrounding tariffs is driving volatility in the market. And as long as that persists, there likely isn't a direct path higher for stocks. "It doesn't feel like a smooth trajectory [for stocks] because of all of the noise," Walsh said. Piper Sandler chief investment strategist Michael Kantrowitz recently offered similar sentiment, writing in a note to clients: "[We’re] unlikely to see a material recovery in equities until we see the start of fiscal policy uncertainty abating," noting that a recent surge in fiscal policy uncertainty, as measured by an index tracked on Bloomberg and seen below, has coincided with the market's recent slide.

Unfortunately, despite the hard work and dedication of my talented colleagues, we cannot go any further. [...] Our print readership continues to decline, and our digital subscriptions have grown too slowly to make up the difference. Advertisers increasingly want to focus their marketing efforts online, at much lower prices. The cost of essential software goes up every year. The cost of fuel is up. The cost of newsprint is up. I can’t afford to pay my people what they’re worth. I can’t afford to publish this newspaper any more. That was what actually happened. Did you see the words "Trump's tariffs" anywhere in that entire statement? Neither did we. Now Chuck Schumer will explain what he'd like everybody to believe happened: The paper was in business over 150 years and lyin' Chuck would appreciate it if you'd believe they went under after just 50 days of Trump. https://twitchy.com/dougp/2025/03/13/lying-chuck-schumer-tries-blaming-local-ny-newspaper-going-under-on-trumps-tariffs-n2409772 This is the last edition of the Cortland Standard you will ever read. The family-owned newspaper will cease publication, a casualty of declining readership and increasing costs, including an expected 25% tariff on newsprint. It was the second-oldest family-owned newspaper in New York, but one of the five oldest family-owned newspapers in America. “I hoped this day would never come,” said Publisher and Editor Evan C.

The CS moved their printing to Oswego last August to try and cut costs. And while newsprint cost was mentioned, it was just one of half a dozen things that had nothing to do with tariffs. Newspapers are dying, especially small ones like this. And people haven't been able to cover a $1000 emergency for years. Edited March 13 by Doc 1 1

Voters in all income tiers rarely vote more than 40 to 60% in either direction for different parties.

That's why it's hard for me to believe that almost all of the 56% of people who can't come up with $1,000 in case of emergency "mostly voted for Trump." Could be wrong through. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 56% of white people. Let's listen to the words of an expert analyst: "Vance said he noticed as a child that his peers seemed to fall into two groups: “My grandparents embodied one type: old-fashioned, quietly faithful, self-reliant, hardworking. My mother and, increasingly, the entire neighborhood embodied another: consumerist, isolated, angry, distrustful.” What might the government do differently? Vance notes that hillbillies love to complain, a la Trump, that the system is holding them back. “Never be like those f—ing losers who think the deck is stacked against them,” Mamaw used to tell her grandson. And yet hillbillies create so many varieties of misery for themselves. Vance recalls that in high school, a neighbor ran a bath, took some painkillers and passed out. When she awoke, the bath had overflowed and ruined the top floor of her house. “This is the reality of our community,” Vance writes. “It’s about a naked druggie destroying what little of value exists in her life. It’s about children who lose their toys and clothes to a mother’s addiction.” 1
