You too, thanks!Holy crap, you're still sobbing over one post I wrote, what, six days ago? Are you always this weepy?I'm with ya. I think it's a combination of things.I was thinking the same thing. It's like everyone is going completely insane. I'm probably alone in thinking this, but to me it feels like this increasing division is being orchestrated somehow. Divide and conquer, that's the name of the game.This is getting scary.
First, there are people on both ends of the spectrum who have a vested professional interest in keeping their flocks angry and divided.
Second, we're becoming more and more tribal and narcissistic.
And third, and this is the scary part to me, it has been so long since we communicated like adults that we appear to have lost the skills to do so.
I see this stuff day after day, I don't understand why we're choosing to behave like this, and I'm losing faith that we're going to recover.

You are so full of shit....hypocrite 101.
I typed this in a thread:
'The DOW will now probably open down for the year...mostly thanks to Trump's stupid trade policies.'
Dow futures slump more than 300 points as fears of a U.S.-China trade war ratchet up
And then you responded with the following:
'Oh good, another shallow, hyper-partisan thread on the stock market and macroeconomics. We need at least two or three of these per day.
The market gets a little emotional now and then, the "press" tries comically to assign various motivations, and each end of the spectrum celebrates any bad stock market news when the other side is in power. And, of course, both sides pretend the stock market is the economy when it suits them.
Ultimately, the market always calms down and remembers it's just about earnings.
Gawd, this stuff is so silly, so ignorant, and so transparent.'

All I typed was what the markets did and that it was due to Trump's (stupid - IMO) trade policies...as most economists also thought (it seems).
Yet, you instantly turn on the partisan juke box and call my simple sentence 'silly, ignorant and transparent'.
And then when I question you about it and tell you I am non-partisan...you run and hide and refuse to discuss it until someone else finally pressed you. And you attacked that guy rather viciously, and all he did was question why you did what you did. And then you proceed to tell him that he should not talk about economics to you since you are SUCH an expert (paraphrased).
You acted like a 6 year old.
So you run around preaching how partisan, tribal and narcissistic everyone ELSE is...clearly acting like Mr. UN. Trying - obviously - to make yourself seem above it all.
But then you attack whomever and whatever you feel like with the same childishness and narcissism that you claim to despise.
You are full of it and yourself.
I sure can get up in the heads of the Regressives, that's for sure.
If you don't like my opinions, tough shit, drama queen.

Oh lookie...it is the hypocrite cometh.
The guy who loves to run around telling everyone how childish they are being...yet seems to have the intellect and maturity of a grade schooler.
Free advice...stop preaching how wonderful you are and how awful 'both sides' are...you stink at it.
Have a WONDERFUL day.
