It’s necessary for me not to have TSLAs price tank and the Saudis take recover loss out of me, pound-of-flesh style.

Or, probably how he’s guilty of a ton of ITAR violations related to Saudis, SpaceX rockets, plus Russia and Starlink

Anyone that actually cares about the economy would see that every time the republicans get in they fuck it, and every time the democrats get in they fix it.

But they don’t care about reality, only their feelings

That graph is interesting. When was Reagan president again…?

81-89. I don’t think Reagan’s presidency or party really explains it, because we see it rise shortly and then fall, both during Bill Clinton’s presidency (93-2001). So George H.W. Bush raised taxes during his term, and then Clinton cut them again, but did so while balancing the budget (Clinton ran a surplus).

Reagan certainly slashed taxes, but so did Clinton, and to a similar degree.

Why do we only seem to get the bad outlandish things from books and movies? :/

Honestly, aggressive climate change would have a similar short-term impact, even if the net result is good, which is a large part of the reason we don’t do aggressive changes like this.

That said, I’m not convinced the net result is good, so we’ll instead have short-term suffering followed by longer-term suffering, all for a bit of protectionism for American businesses (which will probably leave them worse off in the long run anyway).
