    Let’s ignore the obvious for months, then act shocked that the obvious was happening all along.

      This is why I have issues taking rawstory seriously.

      A story about a story, but not examining the journalism, just … a story about a story.

      A link supposedly to watch the story that is actually just a link to the page you’re already reading.

      The included clip is to youtube, not MSNBC, and it’s not even to the official MSNBC youtube channel which absolutely does have this same piece posted.

      Exactly, Rawstory is basically the left wing version of Fox News, telling you what you want to hear instead of actual news. My basic takeaway from his statements is that the GDp is still growing just not quite as fast as it was last year.

      I’m not an economist so I don’t know but the the S&P is also nearing in on a record highs again and it seems like most of the turmoil in the markets that we saw at the beginning of April is gone for now. I thought the Iran bombing would spook the market but not really. I know the markets aren’t the economy but it’s a bellwether for how the oligarchs and corporations are feeling about it.

        The GDP is still growing, just not quite as fast as it was last year

        In the way that our entire economy is based on measuring itself, not growing as fast as last year is considered complete failure

        the turmoil in the markets is gone for now

        The stock market =/= the health of the economy. Obviously the market being bad is not good, but the market being good does not mean things arent bad

          I know, I said as much in my post just a sentence or two after the quote of mine that you used.

    Did I make the right choice to snag a discounted open box PS5 pro before the tariffs/bullshit started? What do you guys think?

    I’m on it for GTAVI. And assumed things would be very different by the time it launches.

      There are certainly great games and exclusives for it, and I tend to prefer PS over Xbox games. I highly doubt you’ll regret having it.

      Cyberpunk runs great on it, and the new Indiana Jones game is really awesome, with uncanny voice acting.
