Happy Thursday, everyone, and welcome to Skoloholics! Join us as we discuss the latest Minnesota Vikings news, Minnesota Vikings updates, news from around the NFL, and virtually any other topic. On this site, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, you should join us! This is the open thread, which is……open. Therefore, you will see discussion of nearly ANY topic here. Our one rule here is: “Remember, be cool to one another”. Also, a word to the wise, don’t feed the trolls. SKOL!!!!!!
I can’t believe it’s only Thursday. I’ve been thinking it was Thursday ever since Tuesday, I’m ready for this week to end. So, Friday, if you could just go ahead and hurry up & get here, that would be super spectacular. Our trip to Florida interrupted many of my usual tasks, one of the tasks it interuppted was getting my boat winterized, so that still isnt’ done. Since it’s still not winterized, I figured a guy might as well take the boat fishing. Since we’re gonna be going fishing, I figured a guy might as well rent a cabin on Devils Lake and go try to catch a few of those fall walleye and enjoy a cigar or two (thanks Five!). My wife is off reffing volleyball, so it’s just kiddo and I, so lock up your women! SKOL!!!!!!!!
In case you hadn’t heard the news, Philly got better. Not the city, the team. The city still sucks, but their football team got better.

Minnesota Vikings News & Discussion-Part Deux: 27 Oct 2022 – Skoloholics
Internet went down for 11 hours, no explanation
Trial run for Election Day shenanigans
most likely
Explanation: you live in the middle of nowhere
This ^ 😀
You live in the fuckin sticks, thats the explanation lol
Same reason his moose is knocked up: you live in the middle of nowhere. 🙂
I never used that phrase, so that joke makes no sense. Also, I just used that joke on you yesterday (it made sense in that case because you had actually used the phrase “blew 50”), so you using it now shows a lack of ability to construct your own retorts, and even an inability to use another’s retorts correctly. Go back to your crayons and come back after you’ve practiced a while.
80 guys…at a rest stop. That’s what it means.
Yesterday, he blew 50. So he’s up 30 guys, or 60%. Sounds like he’s looking for some recognition.
who pissed in your cheerios?
Probably cuz you live on an island in the middle of no where.
Not sure anyone has mentioned it yet, but its probably because you live in the middle of nowhere
Literally or metaphorically?
Both
Ponder
Woo hoo I get the game!
You remember that Website I gave you so you can ALWAYS get the game? 😉
Here’s a stat..
“I think second-and-long and third-and-long need to be better,” Cousins said Monday.
Thirty-five quarterbacks have dropped back to pass 100 times this season. None of them has been worse than Cousins when facing second or third down with more than 7 yards to reach the first-down marker.*
(*According to expected points added per dropback, a statistic that tracks how many points a team is expected to score on each dropback. In these particular situations, Cousins, at minus-0.47, ranks 35th out of 35, per TruMedia.)
and we still win in spite of sucking. Jobu
Game score predictions?
Vikings will win 27 to 24.
The Vikings are strong like our economy and I see nothing but rainbows and puppy dogs ahead. Pure domination like Biden dominates all his foes.
Also, I’ve really had a great time today.
Thanks GF for making Skoloholics so I can
harrassshare my wisdom with you all.23-23 tie
A tie?
Did you forget who are QB is?
Domination
Well, our QB is dominate at being mediocre.
I am going to the game….Over the last 30 years of me attending Vikings games they are 20 and 25….so odds are that they are going to lose (its science).
22 to 28 Cards
Booooo!
Going to be ugly

I think personal massage therapist is a pseudonym for concubine.
I doubt there are any happy endings to this story.

I’m gonna need a link. Preferably a recent one.
Yeah, but do you have a more recent one?
LOL
Fake news.
Just look at the source.
Yes
Minnesota Vikings News & Discussion-Part Deux: 27 Oct 2022 – Skoloholics
Nice, LOL, and Thanks for the summary!
As Bud Grant famously said “Sometimes its better to be lucky than good”
Still gotta have the leg to boom that punt, that thing was a thing of beauty, especially seeing it live.
I think Wrights a stud.
Yep. I think an announcer mentioned one time that he’s a big fella, too.
Well, I hope he screws up some more.
Cause there is just never enough politics…latest poll out of Georgia has Walker up 5…
Odds are if Georgia goes red its over….There will be a run on support ponies…
Yup, and we need full-time buses to Canada, too…
I was hoping some of those Hollywood types would actually follow through and go to Canada. But of course not.
Why the FUCK isn’t texting included in the No Call list?
Amen
Technically calling is not texting..
Pansy
Arrived in the red state of Ohio!
Welcome to freedom
When did Red states ever give a shit about freedom? They are the party of banning books, banning freedom of expression, censoring art, hindering voter turn out, wants to force their religion, their morals on you…
Also… when did a blue state ever give a shit about freedom? They want to forcibly take your money, ban speech, wants rid of the 2nd amendment, wants to force their way of thinking on you or they are offended bunch of pussies… etc…
Neither care about freedom, or you, or this country. They car about keeping the rich overlords that supply them money happy… that’s it.
^^So much this^^
I don’t agree with the “hindering voter turnout” part, though. Requiring an ID is not hindering turnout. You have to show ID to drive a car or buy cigarettes, you can show one in order to vote.
100% agree with ID on voting. How many adults actually lack an ID?
Only minorities, they can’t get them because they’re too poor and ignorant according to according to the libs like eggslusher and Mick,
No, they can’t get IDs because of institutional racism…whatever that is….
Yup it’s bad.
What if we gave everyone a free voter ID card that is eligible to vote?
No card, no vote?
Why do that when they have a drivers license? I can’t see a DR without having an ID.
showing an ID is apparently the “racist” part of voting.
Some people who can’t vote could have a drivers license.
This way there is no confusion.
This. I for one had a MT/ND drivers license for 11 years before I became a citizen.
I bet you could have voted too.
He did.
MT on his way to illegally vote
I’m okay with that, I just think there needs to be a system in place that will prevent fraud. Requiring an ID is NOT suppressing voter turnout, it’s suppressing corruption.
I’m fine with however they want to regulate it.
A voter ID card or maybe just a notation on a DL should work.
Voter id is something you get when you register to vote, hopefully at least 30 days before the election. When you register to vote you must prove who you are.
still need to register before you can vote
It’s a poll tax
Works for me, you have to have ID for pretty much everything these days, except voting.
That’s the part that confuses me. You have to have ID to buy smokes, establish a utility bill, etc.
LOL
what a load of bullshit. 2nd amendment? who protects that? who is teaching CRT? Who is glorifying trannies to 5 year olds? who controls 98% of the media. lol liberal ^^^
so vote 3rd party? lmao
Lol, it’s amazing you have fallen for the liberal propaganda. None of what you say about red states is true. It’s all made up by libs and their media repeats it for them.
go buckeyes
Time to head to the hills. Behave yourselves and skol. Five, shoot straight and get a big one.
you too pal. Good luck!
Hope you guys bag some good ones for halloween
Just me and the wife in the camper all weekend. I’ll put the jacks down extra tight so the wind doesn’t move it while I’m sleeping.
Hopefully yer wife won’t be getting too friendly with Jack
They stole my stuff! well said. Hit the road jack and don’t ya come back no more no more no more..
LOL. oh the days when things were done in a night. i suppose when you need to spend a day or two making copies and such, it takes longer
Computers make everything less efficient, obviously.
Everyone from here on oit
Economics, ranting annnnd two football posts. Yeah that about sums up what I missed. So basically, nothing important.
want to talk about something important?
mrs freeze used to suck at making sloppy joes, so i asked her to find a new recipe, and now they are delicious.
Sloppy joes are really hard to screw up, most kids (when I was growing up) could make them on their own. Did you marry her for her cooking?
the way her mom made sloppy joes (montana) is different than i ever had, she she followed that recipe.
now they are like legit sloppy joes
My in-laws are from MT & they don’t use any spice.
yes very bland. and like big chunks of peppers, i didn’t understand it. very weird.
My mother-in-law thinks pepper is spicy. I can’t even grill steaks for her dad, I’ll put them on but my wife takes them off for him, I refuse to do that to a steak. Eats those fucking things burnt to a crisp, dryer than a popcorn fart. Yuck.
My wife insists on eating her steaks (and hamburgers) well done….IF there is even a shadow of pink its going back on the grill…..
It is my cross to bear.
If it ain’t still mooin, it ain’t worth chewin
Amen
Those people deserve what they want!
Meaning, I like to grill them until they’re harder than shoe leather.
Gross. When I poke my steak, it moos.
I refuse to do that to a steak. If someone wants beef jerky, then buy beef jerky. No reason to ruin a good ribeye.
Interesting. Well, tell her to throw that family recipe in the garbage then haha.
into la garbage
Shred it first so she can’t retrieve it.
Its ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar applied to browned hamburger, how much more basic does it need to be for her lol.
here is the thing. she was raised making it differently.
you don’t need to rip on her.
and i’m really glad she has changed it up and now they are delicious.
How did she make it originally? Don’t worry I won’t rip on her for her parents being weirdos, she couldn’t control that.
idk, weirdly.
so glad it’s over and done with
That could be good. I’ll have to give that rendition a try.
I add a can of Cream of Chicken Soup to the browned burger, then nearly equal parts of ketchup and BBQ sauce.
And the roofies, don’t forget the roofies.
Well, yeah….how else you gonna make the kids eat it?
Actually, my version of sloppy joes is what my older kid requests on his birthday. I’m rather surprised, but proud too.
I also find it surprising your oldest kid requests getting roofied on their birthday as well.
We live out in the country.
One time I went over to my mothers for a small family gathering.
She made both sloppy Joes and pulled pork with a gallon of worcester sauce each off some dumb recipe she found in Worser Homes and Gardens or somewhere.
Puke.
Yeah that’s just the most basic common way to make it. I use bbq sauce as well along with garlic and onion powder and some other seasonings
I don’t care for sugar in my sloppy joes. I mix tomato sauce with the browned hamburger and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasoning.
Yeah I balance the brown sugar with cayenne pepper
Chicken gumbo
Manwich pretty good
not even dog food
She use gumbo?
This burial job I do on evil libs daily should be a paid job. Speaking of, how do you get into gov’t contracts/theft?
Five, I have been sponging of the government for my livelihood my whole life…you couldn’t do it. You have to work with people from the federal government and for the most part they are incompetent idiots – you would kill 3 or 4 of them in your 1st week of employment.
“you would kill 3 or 4 of them in your 1st week of employment.”
Am I missing something? I don’t see the downside…
Good point
Dems would have preferred Fetterman stayed in the basement like Joe. Not concerned about his ability to do the job though.
It was Brutal…..but hey I think he managed to say Abortion is good and socialism is good. So as far as the Dems are concerned he is good to go.
All he really needs to do is just vote for what he is told to vote for.
worked with imbecile bidet
Did you see any clips from that debate?
He should not be running until he is well.
Yep.
He should have dropped out after the stroke. His wife and the Dems have no empathy for the guy by hiding all of this for 6 months.
why would they? did the same with sleepy? He was a joke before this
I bet they regret not forcing him out in May.
They regret nothing unless they lose. If he wins he is perfect for them since he will simply be a puppet.
You think PA is ever having another fair election? lol They were the forefront of the 2020 rigged election. they will rig it again, entire state is blue as fuck.
We will see. I tend to think it’s rigged. But things are so bad, I’m not sure they can overcome that difference.
they filed a million suits to get mail in and cheated, they will again. It’s a fkn shit hole, hope they all die
I posted a clip yesterday, it was kind of embarrasing.
Yeah, but I need a link.
lol, sorry I can’t a more recent one
I’ve been laughing about that shit all day!
Its not even that funny.
I blame
ponderGF.He started that shit and I can’t help but use it.
I’ve been sitting back & watching in amusement. Nice work!
He is well. Just has a residual speech impediment left over from the stroke.
He’s well, he’s just very stupid. Very similar to our president.
I need a link
Yeeeeeep
Are we done arguing economics yet?
It’s an important topic.
Probably more important than Kirk’s grilling skills, but I can’t say for sure.
no, things are good. Watch some tv
no argument, libs with low Iq’s telling us all is super duper is simply false. They need re-education camps or better yet deported along with every single illegal (those in federal prison should go 1st though)
These libs telling you all is super duper only exist in your mind.
bullshit, your pres just did
Source?
a commie source you will approve of too
‘Strong as hell’: Biden remains optimistic about economy …https://abcnews4.com › news › nation-world › strong-as-h…
Oct 17, 2022 — President Joe Biden boasted about the U.S. economy with a mouthful of ice cream over the weekend telling reporters, “our economy is strong …
Yesterday he said the US economy is the strongest in the world, gas prices are as low as pre-covid and airlines charging extra for a seat with extra leg room is racist.
ruble is doing well I see
I also like how there has been almost no talk about the Saudi’s mocking Biden and their basically threat over oil after we have pumped down our SOR.
I like how us likely getting nuked has made ALL forget about the covid scam lockdown, economy, border, etc.
I can’t move to Wyoming or a nearby state until after they nuke NORAD
Do you have a more recent source?
I know most gov’t employees can’t do math but it’s 10 days ago.
Strength sounds more like a lingering issue.
Do you have a link where he says its super duper?
Lol
I was wondering how long I could keep this going.
Just listen to his speech from yesterday, October 26, 2022.
Do you have a more recent source?
LOL
Excellent question.
Ssh.
Don’t wreck my fun here.
10 days is now outdated when discussing the economy? WTF?
see: LIBERAL
Biden claims ‘serious progress’ on getting prices close to pre-pandemic levels, amid high inflation
Do you have a more recent source?
Joe Biden: ‘I Appreciate the Frustration of the American People’ with the Economy
Here’s some actual economics for the puke liberals on here.
You have a truck b/c you work construction. You fill tank 1x a week, 25 gallon tank.
25 x 2.50 = $62.50
25 x 3.75= $93.75
$31.25 per week higher so $125/month. Double that with food also. $250/month. That’s just food and gas.
That’s $3000 alone.
There is work to do still until people are standing in bread lines, because according to Bernie bread lines are the sign of a strong economy.
That is what is amazing that the sheep support the people doing this to them.
Now do diesel
Sorry, I had to stir the pot.
Just had my 10th egg today.
I appreciate your effort on the pot stirring.
I would never stoop that low myself, however.
lol
hard boiled, soft boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, sunny side up, over easy, over hard, raw like rocky, omelet, or over medium?
Cracked over his head?
6 fried 4 hard boiled
I was learning a little bit about the “Demon Core” today where scientists built a core for a nuclear bomb and would then test how close they could bring it to critical without going critical. Pretty crazy.
One scientist, Slotin, was OSHA’s nightmare. He would basically do criticality experiments manually holding the tip of a screwdriver between two spheres of the core. If the spheres touched, the reaction would start.
So, of course, he slipped one day, and the spheres touched. He got a lethal dose of rads before he got the two spheres apart again.
That is pure lunacy. I mean, I’ve gone too far up a step ladder before, but I don’t think I would skip safety protocols while working on a nuclear core…
It looks like familiarity breeds contempt under all circumstances.
My favorite part is that scientists would call this “tickling the dragon’s tail” when performing these experiments.
Must have been a relative of Fauxi’s, who was handing out big bucks to do gain of function on SARS/Covid to make it more lethal.
I mean, it’s crazy but true.
Just sanitizing the gene pool……
like reagor?
He “did” the coach’s wife.
Judge’s or Daboll’s?
Yes.
woo hoo, genius Big 5 just picked him up in our league
genius Biglast place 5FTFY
long season and I’ll get in….then watch out
Talks shit.
sees he picked up this loser.
IM SO SMART!!!
LOL, any team fantasy manager pinning his hopes on Kadarius Toney has a dogshit fantasy team, and that’s the troof!
yup, luckily I don’t but a nice top 15 add later on or trade to you after your ultra thin weak sauce team loses a few more via injury. I’ll give you him and Dillion and Herbie now for Allen.
LOL, been dealing with injuries to WR1 since week 1, RB1 for several weeks now in addition to others yet I’m in first place and starting to get my guys back.
you have been the same as vikings and the only reason why?
Lol.
And, Toney is now on a bye this week.
Nice bench warmer there.
Mortgage rates hit highest mark in two decades
yay!!!!!!
The more the housing market crashes, the better for me. I want to buy a chunk of land so run it into the ground. Same with the stock market. Crash that SOB so I can buy more.
I want to buy more land, too, but land prices don’t always follow housing prices.
think they come down some
They’ve dropped around here already. It got ridiculous close (within an hour-ish) to Billings. Too damn many Calicommies moving here.
Yup, MT is almost ruined. I hope wyoming stays ok until I get there
Same here.
They ruined Alaska. Anchorage is now like Chicago.
Might lose both a House Seat and a Senate Seat to dems on split votes
rigged crap per usual, welfare state at its finest
Lol, we aren’t quite like Shitcago. Finally got an American mayor to fight the tranny/sodomite city council. Uphill battle though. Too many gvt employees and people wanting hand outs.
I’d like to build a house if prices go to $150/sf. It’s better for me but also puts my business on the skids so not much better in long run.
I saw a 3000 acre parcel for 7 million in Wyoming, that already had 22 residential rentals on it and room for a lot more. Was interesting.
I don’t want anybody to move there, lol
You can’t pick your relatives but you can pick your friends and neighbors, lol.
Plus, charge them rent.
That’s why I have few friends and no neighbors
I should start a go fund me so I can buy 3000 acres. I will need a lot of extra cash because if I buy 3000 acres, there will be no rentals on it. Just me and the missus. I prefer to not live close to anyone.
Someone has to tend my flock of horses and my herd of geese and keep feeding my trout and walleye and crappie and catfish ponds.
I just need someone to maintain the 15 foot tall fence with barb wire on top.
define close?
WOKE-UP CALL:Biden admin using taxpayer dollars to fund drag shows in Ecuador – and Republicans aren’t happy
Priorities.
Come on five, its “Diversity”
Like Columbus?

Democrats block freshman Latina Republican from joining Congressional Hispanic Caucus
Your not really Latina if you are a Republican, right?
Not like Joe, who grew up Puerto Rican
I guess its the Congressional Socialist Hispanic Caucus.
Exactly
Things to work on:
we suck, that simple
We can’t keep winning games with that profile….Our luck is sure to run out.
It’s not luck. It’s the dark magic of Jobu.
we need zim back
@Just like Biden, I think Zim had a puppeteer pulling his strings… probably his purse dog@
Stefanski
Kubiak
Baby Kubiak
KOC
But tell me more about what an innovative offensive genius KOC is and how much the other 3 sucked.
It’s one stat
one irrelevant stat.
i’d take stefanski back
I wonder what Stefanski would have been able to do without having crabby pants as his boss?
Nothing. He isn’t doing shit in Cleveland, their passing offense is a joke. Their top WR had fewer receiving yards than our WR3 last year.
So you’re saying Spielman was great at drafting!!!!
Not really, Thielen was our WR1 last year, and Wreck didn’t draft him.
Too soon to tell. Both sides of the ball need time to figure it out. I’d like to see improvement on their deficiencies after the bye. Regardless, they are going to have to drastically improve on offense and defense if they want to go anywhere in the post-season, should they make it that far.
Stats other than points don’t matter.
Just shows it is irrelevant to winning. Just like defense offense and special teams . Only stat that matters is points
!!
One night in college we turned off the lights on a guy that was in the dorm shower. He opened his eyes after shampooing his hair and started screaming, “I’m blind! I’m blind!” Good times.
One time in Junior High the whole english class decided we’d just mouth words instead of speak with a teacher who had a hearing aid.
She’s pounding on her chest and her head like it was broken and this went on for like 15 minutes until we all start speaking all at once.
Poor woman, probably retired after that.
You guys are assholes
And remember, my experience was at seminary. Preachers are people too.
Sweet. One time in the Air Force, I crawled out my window and shimmied along the ledge to the next room, crawled inside and took the pins out of the door hinges.
The look on his face when he pulled the knob and the whole door fell into the dorm hallway…….
Did you guys ever stack pennies in the door jam so that people couldn’t get out of their rooms? So much fun. You take pennies and jam them between the door & door jam until it’s so tight that they can’t turn the knob.
It’s loads of fun, especially when you’re drunk. I found that sober people were harder to entertain, they didn’t find these things as funny. My solution was to only hang around drunk people.
Never tried that. I DID pour 5 boxes of Knox Blox into someone’s toilet though. Alcohol MAY have been involved in the decision-making process.
Oh, and replacing someone’s shampoo with Nair………earned him the nickname Mr. Clean.
The cast of Monty Python had something like that planned – they were going to gradually decrease the volume of the transmission of their program, which would cause viewers to start gradually turning up their TV sets. They planned to get all the way to the point where there was no sound being broadcast, hoping every TV in England would be at full volume, then have a loud explosion.
Show producers wouldn’t allow it because they feared financial issues with all the blown TV speakers and hospital bills from heart attacks.
Now that q3 numbers are out….. we can settle that down…
“Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake’s plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spun in. There were no survivors….”

That sucked. I remember that.
Didn’t see it first run, but I grew up watching reruns of the show. Still an all time favorite.
I watch it every day.
Dont like the politics but I think it is still hilarious.
Klinger’s scheme would never get him out of the army now. Maybe they’d make him a General?
Secretary of Defense.
ITS BIDEN!
😂
True!
clinger was an early warning of what the tranny us military is soon to be
Every time I watch it, it sucks.
You guys know it was just a TV show and not a documentary, right?
It’s ok. I also cry every time I watch the HIMYM episode where Marshall’s dad dies. I’m getting to be a softy in my old age.
Of course I also cried a little when my oldest graduated from basic training.
The sharks were well fed though.
cold black eyes, lifeless eyes
You talking about Biden or the shark?
both
lol, like he has a job sides fetching double bubble and scotch
You know the descriptor in a murder mystery of the protagonist “shivering uncontrollably”? I started spiking a fever just before bed last night, temp was 102.1, my eyes felt like pissholes in the snow and my tongue was thick and dry, like a hangover from drinking three shandys. Laid out in the RV, wake up and I’m shivering, pull the blankets tight around me but I have to piss. Rather than open the door from the shop into the studio and cause the dog to bark and wake my wife, I decide to step outside to relieve myself. For the next ninety seconds I was shivering like a dog shitting razor blades, no crap I couldn’t even hold onto my unit. Climbed back into bed curled up in a ball fell asleep woke up later drenched in sweat. Temp down to 99.9 this morning. A pox on you SARS-CoV2!
Yikes, hang in there, sounds like it’s rebounding or something.
I actually feel much better today, I have what I consider a very positive trajectory since Monday (my wife of course now says I sound like crap). Walking the dog in that cool air opened up my sinuses and I snorted out half a cup of mucus into Kleenexes. My elixir of choice is hot tea and honey which my wife has mixed up into two big insulated coffee mugs for me, now all the phlegm has come up my voice sounds normal again and PowerScribe is once again recognizing it.
The apple flavored ivermectin is working!!!
The apple flavored ivermectin paste is working!!!
See??? You Doubter!
Good job – hydration and activity.
don’t get a flu shot, this is what happens. Try barrel strength bourbon, no more than 15 oz
Hope you get better soon.
Thanks man, I think I’m close to resolution. I always take a fever break as a positive sign.
Get Carter fan?
I want to say something mean about dogs, but I’ll be nice since you are sick.
See, keeping that pussy on a pedestal is good for you
Cuts coming next week?
LFA do you do a bunch of Ecom work?
I used to do a lot. I owned a registered investment advisor firm way back when until I sold it.
Now I just do it for myself and the occasional business consulting or political consulting job.
Why’d you get out of ecom?
retirement thing?
Got married, took some CFO and CEO gigs for a while, as I really don’t like doing the same thing 2 days in a row.
The investment company was a long time ago, should probably start one again, as I beat almost every investment advisor out there on what matters: rate of return.
Hmmm.
ok.
I also worked for the piss-ants at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for a short time as a regional manager, until Donohue decided to stick a pile of foreigners on the Board and wanted us to pimp unlimited immigration.
There you go ladies. These stupid MFer libs are really actually telling you the economy is great. Lmao. This is why in the face of economic destruction they STILL vote for the people who are destroying them.
no one is telling you that the economy is great.
You just can’t understand basic concepts, can you?
I posted up mark Zandi’s take that the economy is basically treading water, and this increase is a mirage based on import/exports.
Also, that we will most likely be in a recession in 2023.
How do you get that the economy is doing great from that?
Its just weird that you can’t grasp that.
most likely* lmao
Screw it I changed my mind and am voting for the Dems.
Stock market going up, unemployment almost non-existent, and a quarter of GDP growth…
Just to be fair on the “GDP is good” take.
Here is a story from CNN that explains that many economists think this is a one hit wonder, rather than a trend.
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/10/26/investing/premarket-stocks-trading/index.html
I just said that 10x below. temp bullshit based on a proxy war
Most of us know this.
Just posting another source for some folks.
Yup, things are great, don’t ya know! wait…
But even then, they will have a reason why their 401k going down 80% is good!
Why can’t you just accept that the economy is as strong as it has ever been thanks to the leadership of Biden?
I am looking for the sarcasm font…….
None needed. Joe is the best president since Jimmy Carter. If you can’t see that then you obviously hate America.
I will agree with you on one point: Many people use the names Biden and Carter together when making comparisons
I actually posted that below.
Different source.
You must be a lib
LOL…
Ok. My bad. I just sensed you were trying to claim the economy was good.
Here’s my post that started it all.
Well, this line by you helped me assume you thought the economy was fine. It is not.
Understood. My take is that the economy is slowly sliding into a recession, and we will get there by 2023.
I did not mean to imply that the economy was doing great just because the current data is not backing up dumpster fire.
We very well could get to dumpster fire status, or not if you believe this guy:
That guy doesn’t believe that guy. He doesn’t even know who his wife is at this point.
LOL
Wait, are you talking about his sister wife or the playboy bunny wife he can’t satisfy in bed?
Maybe Biden is Carter’s love child. Didn’t Carter have a run in with a bunny back in the day?
lol, no. That idiot couldn’t get laid in a morgue
He meant Carter got attacked by a swamp rabbit and had to have the Secret Service try to beat it off.
Was scared all the time after that.
That’s what I was faintly remembering. Funny stuff.
I personally just trust the WSJ on the economic news.
They’re not a bunch a liberals in any way.
They also predict a mild recession in 2023.
I also tend to trust Mark Zandi. He’s got a similar take.
The WSJ is owned by the Murdoch clan, and the boys are both flaming libs (owned by Dow Jones & Co, which is owned by News Corp, which is a public company with the most shares owned by Murdochs)
It will evolve more when Big Daddy goes off to the Big News Org in the sky.
so….not a bunch of liberals in any way, point proven….
So, he just said that the kids are libs, and that it will evolve more when the dad dies.
How exactly does that disprove my point that the WSJ is not a liberal source?
scrolls through posts…..
do i want to get this politcal this early? nahhhh
you are all a bunch of stupid racist bigoted sexist libs.
You too!
nope! not me!
Hey, thanks for calling me that! I’ve never been called that before! Brings tears to my eyes! lol
i only say it in love
Thanks!
An awesome series…
Maybe this is the year for our Vikings???
we are playing bottom five football and are basically winning top 5, what could go wrong?
I remember that and the 87 world series. 1987 was the year I really started watching sports a lot. I was just a boy with big dreams back then and after the Twins won the world series in ’87 and the Vikings made the NFCCG as well, I thought for sure the Vikings we’re going to win a SB before I grew up, LOL. The 91 world series was amazing though and unlike all the yutes on here I actually got to see two MN pro sports championships.
lots have big dreams and then divorce rape and all you have left is frozen carbones pizzas. I thought I was going to play pro football but I sucked.
LOL, exactly.
I watched both of the Twins series wins. It was great. It may be the only Minnesota sports championships I’ll ever see.
What about the Lynx?
The who?
Plus, I said, “I’ll ever see.” I’m not sure anyone actually saw the Lynx, except maybe the parents of the players.
Maybe they’ll give Britney Griner some DVD’s of that while she’s having fun in a Siberian work camp.
you take it deep?
See. BSF is right. The economy is booming!
Well, yesterday Jannifer, now Sarah9. Welcome, and can you tell me yer measurements?
Well, there you have it ladies. The big libs on here (edgelusher, moran coote, BSF) say things are great so quit worrying about anything. lmao. This is how insidious these MFer’s are and how total control of the media like the nazi’s has a full on control of the stupid masses.
I think we should kill ourselves. What say you?
russians about to do that soon for us
LOL
I am happy the economy grew at 2.6 percent…Nothing to be angry unless you are not a patriot. Inflation is still way out of control and 90% Biden’s fault,, the borders are non-existent, real wages are down, and crime is way up in all of our Dem controlled cities….The Dems policies are complete failure….but yes we got 1 quarter of decent growth yippie.
The issue for me is that exports over imports drove the GDP number higher, rather than broad economic production. Tech sector revenues are crashing for a reason.
Smoke and mirrors to get votes.
That’s my take.
this is temporary and irrelevant
Temporary for sure.
starting a proxy war to sell oil to europe is not anything good and the amount of taxpayer debt to send every single weapon we have (so zelensky and others have become billionaires) so the russian can have them is fucking stupid. Let me know when gas hits $2 a gallon and diesel isn’t $5.50 a galopn and tuus my eggs $7 a dozen. name one thing I buy that is not inflated?
Your sex doll.
Well played…..
Uncle Joe says gas prices are the same as before Covid now though?
lol, watch what he does after the midterms. senile pos and obama gonna use the fake scam climate bullshit tom push communism even more
He’s timed it so the SPR are completely drained on November 8th, and after that, well…
nothing to see here…
man, you really, really lack reading comprehension skills.
No one has said any such thing, of course. The voices in your head seem to be getting louder.
Actually Biden said that yesterday. The economy is doing good, gas prices are the same as they were pre-Covid and the US has the strongest economy in the world.
You forgot the most important part.
Airlines can help by stop selling seats with more leg room, which is racist.
Well, who in their right mind listens to anything that bumbling idiot Biden says? Guys is dumber than a used sock.
I encourage the voices in my head. I don’t want to discriminate.
I enjoy it when the voices sound like John Wayne or Clint Eastwood.

Whoooa
look who it is.
its-a me
818am? why up so early?
bathroom
oh cool, stu gonna drop in like we all miss him and then leave per normal.
It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14
stu here and gone like a fart in the wind
Kansas…1977….Point of No Return?
That’s dust…
Yep.
they already have in many of the hottest areas. I was told by many here and all these others this wouldn’t happen. I told people and told people. but nope, they know all
I can only speak to my “local” area and in a certain price range. <250k will remain real hot here.
entry level will maybe do better in some areas as rent is just as much
Yup.
but the 400k+ less so.
avg in Denver is like 660k and that is the junk. Rates are 2 1/2 times what they were
My neighbors moved here 1.5 years ago from Ft. Collins.
paid a ridiculous price for the house but it’s waaaaaaay less than the 3500/mo rent they were paying.
different paradigms on value matter
Those may be the homes that people have the money for… whereas the cheepies will be hard to reach at 10% or more interest rate for many.
Was talking to my realtor the other day and with these interest rate hikes first time homebuyers are getting squeezed out of the single family housing market because they can’t get qualified for the current prices at the new rates so they’re all looking at condos and townhouses now as alternative.
yup, even with some price drops it doesn’t offset the lending.
Yep, we’re fucked as an economy overall for a while, recession.
Correct or they have to go out of the cities to a different market.
They can stay where they are, I don’t want any commies moving out to my suburb!
Yup, it’s coming, but people never believe real estate is cyclical.
All their barely-high-school educated residential agent friends tell them it only goes up and is a great investment, no matter where in the cycle it is.
Yup and this cycle was self induced on purpose. Rest of the world doesn’t necessarily have this inflation. Let’s see, shut down all commerce via a scamdemic, send out 8 trillion, etc. etc.
so glad i decided to stop looking for the time being.
should be able to have the pick of the litter soon (although interest rates suck so doubt i would buy anyways)
Historically they’re average lol
That’s what people don’t get and why they can’t understand this is a major reset
Right.
7% doesn’t scare me.
dows it suck? Yeah compared to 2.5
but you’d be a lot happier to pay 7 than 10 or 12.
or buy when the price is down 20% and refi when they drop again
I think we’re in for another period of self-correcting interest at 12%+.
Too much debt out there and there will be competition for the dollars to finance it.
Makes getting in at 7 look great.
Son got in at 5.5 a month and a half ago.
He wouldn’t have been able to afford anything on his teacher’s salary at 7%, as he was on the bubble.
Anything until the prices adjust
That’s his fault for choosing a terrible profession
Turrible, turrible.
He likes helping the brats, especially the ones in high school.
At 6’5″ he’s one of the only teachers who can’t be intimidated by the whiney little effing loudmouthers.
Are you planning on moving to Dawson County?
I picked the Vikings to lose this Sunday, but I really know nothing. I’ve only watched about eight quarters of football so far. I saw the Vikings/Packers game, about a quarter of the Eagles game, about a quarter of the Lions game and then bits of a few other Sunday night games. That’s the way September and October work.
I prefer 3 p.m. and night games. They are easier to catch. When I run the league, expect to see no noon games. League will start in November. I’m not worried about bad weather in outdoor stadiums. America will buy every team an enclosed stadium.
Next, I’m GPSing the ball. We are speeding up the game. If a game is not over in two hours and 45 minutes, both teams lose. Overtime is gone. If the game ends in a tie, both teams lose. This will force more two-point plays. Also, all field goals over 50 yards are worth four points.
Playoffs will go back to 12 teams. Preseason is gone. Instead, we will have a Pro-Bowl-like thing before the season starts. The winning conference will be awarded extra draft picks.
Pregame shows will be severely curtailed. They will last for one half hour before games. The rest of the time will show Three Stooges reruns, which are more edifying.
If an announcer repeatedly speaks about something that gets mentioned every game, they are fired. For example, “I shook Adrian Peterson’s hand before the game. Wow!”
That guy would be removed while on air.
Dennis Miller is back.
Thursday Night Football is gone.
On Thanksgiving, only teams that actually matter will play.
Also, I’m thinking about reducing the amount of teams to keep talent from getting too diluted. Does anyone really want to watch the Lions or the Browns anymore?
Let’s just stop that silliness.
If your city is dying, then your football team should die with it.
Bring on the Charlotte, Fort Lauderdale, and other growing city teams.
Plus, there are only so many QBs to go around. If you don’t have a solid QB, you are generally an also-ran.
Well, there goes Minnesota…
I didn’t want to say it…but, if the shoe fits…
I like it!
The only thing I’d add is that if an announcer like Buck verbally fellates a player like Rodgers during the game more than once then they have to do it in real life.
On air?
Yup, that’s disgusting! lol
We will save that for the half-time Super Bowl show. We’ll finally class that thing up a bit!
But, seriously, I will probably just have Weird Al do all of the Super Bowl halftime shows. I’ll just tell him…go nuts. You’re delegated.
I was thinking live sex is not much of a change from what they’ve had lately
I second this. Actually an half hour may be too long. I’d give them about 10 minutes. That way they won’t have 10 ex-jocks on the show. One or two guys should be plenty.
Awesome. Are you old enough to run for President?
Not quite. What do you have to be now? 95?
It’s like fishing in Minnesota.
There is a slot, so you either have to be mentally under 16 or over 95
Unless you are a “minority”. Then anything goes.
Mmmhmmm…..
I don’t believe that for a second.
They’re cooking the books on these preliminary GDP numbers just like Obama did with employment numbers.
Lolol yup
Or maybe the layoffs help.
more to come
There will likely be a revision after the election.
hopefully we have 1 gallon of oil left in the SOR
Not a chance. I have a small bottle of crude from the Alaska pipeline from the 70’s on my desk that they’ll be looking for any minute.
they are going to hammer the energy is 2 weeks again
rate hikes incoming!
90 days from 25% of home sellers getting close to reality, rest will wait until they get foreclosed b/c they are stupid
What do you mean?
In Denver the home sellers and their country club wife dipshit broker with an iq of 35 are just continuing to list at the same prices as 9 months ago. Then they reduce the price 15k on a 1.2M home. They are not in reality and now they are chasing as rates go up more and they lose more. 25% will figure it out in the next qtr, the rest will stay stupid and get into real trouble. Very few (which is fkn amazing) realize what is going on economically. Banks are either pulling back big, can’t loan (have no balance as they have all these 3% loans on the books and deposits (stupid fkn stimulus checks and welfare unemployment stopped) or are going BK
Isn’t the inventory of homes on the market much smaller than in 2008? I am not familiar with the Denver market.
2008 was different, more equity now. I don’t know but inventory here is back to about pre fake scam mind control bullshit big pharma no recourse fake vax times
Yup, the lame duckers will try to ram through a million things that no sane person wants after the election but before the new Congress gets seated in January.
It will be interesting to see how low Biden will go. If he drains it all, he has no political control of oil.
nice political tool for the evil left
Just wait until diesel starts drying up and the minions can’t get their hot pockets delivered to their stores.
The bullshit core inflation numbers do not include food and energy. Guess what is the biggest issue for avg people? duh
Well we did until Biden had a little oopsie…
I tend to Trust Mark Zandi’s take on things, and I seriously doubt anyone is cooking the books.
Most likely scenario:
“If you take a step back and look at GDP, it’s gone effectively nowhere over the last year,” says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “One quarter or two it’s down a bit. This quarter it’s up a bit. But net-net, we’re kind of treading water.”
When Obama was in power I did a thorough analysis of employment numbers, and that’s when I found the leaders fudging all the raw data by redefining the various variables and factors.
And this is what it comes down to.
everything can be manipulated.
If anyone cares to know what the key details are:
So a slowdown here is big.
.
Unbiased future predictions:
Exports will slow and domestic demand will sharply drop from higher interest rates
US will enter a recession in the first half of 2023.
lmao, 4.2%? really? wow, my eggs must be going down…
um, we are in a fkn recession now, by definition. Look at how these lying mfer’s manipulate? WE ARE IN A RECESSION and we have stagflation.
How do you define a recession then?
2 consecutive quarters of negative growth?
BSF checks numbers…..nope.
I define recession as whatever the government says it is.
just like every other word.
woman…
man…
racist..
nazi…
I don’t include you or LFA as unhinged. That was more directed at a certain individual….
yea, we just had that. so I guess based on this bullshit lying number you can say we are out of it. Weird how I didn’t notice any improvement in anything personally
Weird how after all these years you still don’t read your own posts. I mean…not noticing any improvements (or anything positive in general) is kind of your thing.
POST OF THE DAY!
fuck off liberal
lol…OK. But seriously, that’s the best you can do? I thought you hyper-rightwing, extremist, “Patriots” were smarter, more clever and less lazy than that.
Who knew?
You’re making the rest of us conservatives look bad.
go to purple pansies where you belong if you can’t handle intelligent facts
lunatic fringe =/= intelligent (on either side of the aisle)
vote biden, it will be good. nothing is bad
Good song though
Not a chance in hades the inflation rate was only 4.2%.
I was talking to a bigwig at Cargill a couple weeks ago and they are not only downsizing almost all packaging but they are finally able to take the training wheels off food pricing, since there are shortages at virtually all food companies. Many of their prices are doubling as we speak.
Wrong time frame.
Their making a ton of money
Lol, blame greedy corporations for supply and demand.
They used to teach about elasticity and what the market would bear when I took grad school economics.
he’s a big lib, no use
I’m using facts, you’re using emotion.
Sounds like your the big baby lib to me.
keep defending this economy while you suck off the private sector tit like all libtards
When you double prices and inflation is at less than 10%, what does your grad school economics class say about what is driving inflation then?
The answer is pretty easy to see.
says the left is a monopoly loving bunch of coimmies, which they are. why aren’t your idols helping to stop it? lol
My political idols?
Well, John McCain is dead and I don’t know what Tim Pawlenty is doing these days.
mccain was a pos
McCain was a respected war vet and an honorable man.
POS, *FTFY. war hawk, dumb as hell, got a lot of poor kids maimed and killed. started obummer care. Lying pos left his injured wife. last in class, known asshole by unanimous vote by acutal vietnam war vets I know. They literally said they don’t know anybody who likled him. but it helps when your daddy and granddaddy were admirals and snuck you into everything.
John McCain’s First Wife Opens Up About Him Leaving Her to Marry Cindy: ‘It Broke My Heart’John McCain eldest daughter Sidney and first wife Carol get candid in John McCain: For Whom the Bell Tolls, an upcoming HBO documentary
kids didn’t even go to the wedding to his budwesier heiress rag
Honorable?
Nope. Early on in Congress, when he was head of the committee in charge of Viet Nam POW’s, he declared that, “All living POW’s have been returned to America”
How could he know that?
Then after the Soviet Union collapsed we find out many of the POW’s died in prison or through torture years later.
The answer is that they are cooking the books and the inflation number is not a real number.
Serious question:
Who is cooking the books? My understanding of the people that put out the economic data is that the rank and file don’t change much from admin. to admin.
So in order to cook the books, you would need a lot of people in on this conspiracy.
Can you show me how they are doing it?
I’m sure it would make one hell of a news story.
Serious answer…
The people who collect the raw data don’t change much.
The top managers are told by the administration to fix the numbers to make them look better, and so the top managers tell the middle managers that they should select or weight different items in their raw data.
“Another main measure is the personal consumption expenditures price index, or the PCE. This measure, run by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, updates how items are weighted in its formula to better reflect consumer behavior, said Menzie Chinn, professor of public affairs and economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Because of this, the PCE is in some sense more representative of the costs consumers face, Chinn said.”
Shift the goalposts. The above is on inflation, but it applies to GDP, too.
Another way the numbers are not real is through sampling. They’ll use sample statistics, instead of raw data, since it simple is not available because many corporate and business reports come in significantly after each quarter, so they’ll sample.
This allows them to undercount certain geographic locations or other measures and overcount others. Very similar to political polls.
So what’s keeping the economy afloat is the oil and LNG we are selling to Europe while our own citizens feel the brunt of it?
do you have any details as to what the exports were?
exactly, lol
I would also add that I can see grain shipments at harvest time being a big boost to exports.
smoke in mirrors. Consumer spending down is huge.
credit card debt? hmmm..
Credit card debt surges as inflation drives up costshttps://www.washingtonpost.com › business › 2022/08/02
Aug 2, 2022 — The total outstanding credit card debt rose to $890 billion in the second quarter, a $100 billion increase from the same time last year.
I’ve had 0 credit card debt for years. Of course I work in a ballon factory.
Good for you. Same here.
The people who do not are smart and will survive. the pain i real for these people
If you’re in bankruptcy you don’t have any cc debt
that will explode as will foreclosures sans leftist areas where they will let them stay for free
not true, much of cc debt can not be relieved in BR
Same here. Of course I don’t work at a balloon factory, I just have a sugar mamma.
Now when people make this statement I always assume they mean they pay off their credit card statement every month, ie have no interest charges. Is that correct? I don’t even know how you could function without having a CC these days.
Correct, no credit card debt. We use our credit card for just about everything and earn cash back. We just pay it off every month.
i usually max a card, then get another to pay off the maxed card and then get another and so on and so forth.
it’s fun!
0% all the time.
This is the way.
just gotta stay ahead of it
I think I’ve mentioned before, a neurosurgeon told me about a scam of sorts he ran in residency…purchase gold coins from the Mint using a credit card, then trundled down to the bank and deposited the coins to pay off the credit card. Rinse and repeat. Got enough frequent flyer miles to fly all over the world multiple times.
I agree. We have two credit cards, and pay off any balance each month.
I grew up hearing stories of the Depression so I usually only pay for something if I have money in that bank/debit card account.
Renting cars and stuff on trips is a different story.
Only reason I have or use a CC is because I get like 5% cash back for using it, but yes I pay it off completely and never incur interest, if not for cash back I would not have one and just use cash/debit card.
Yep, my AmEx gives me some great miles.
I thought about doing a miles card, but I like the strait cash back.
Cash back is like getting a discount on everything you pay for. We pay or phone bill and electric bill with the cash back card. It’s great.
I don’t know much about how unemployment numbers work.
I do have a WSJ subscription (might be MSM, but they are nowhere near a liberal group).
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal forecast a 2.3% increase in third-quarter GDP. All figures are adjusted for inflation.
This should not have come as a surprise, and is right in line with predictions.
there is ZERO chance there is real GDP growth of that level. Based on what?
You guys are hilarious. Please never, ever, ever enter finance since you can’t separate personal bias from cold hard facts.
You read the WSJ?
They had predicted 2.3% growth.
Why?
Imports dropped 6.9%, Exports rose 14.4%. The shrinking trade gap inflated the headline GDP number in the third quarter by adding 2.8 percentage points of growth.
That’s why.
so a bullshit number that is irrelelvant to real economics and from selling oil I presume to our allies after starting a bullshit proxy war that is going to get us nuked or end with russia winning which they are. Have you heard any recent news?????? nope
No more talk of the draconian covid scam rules, economy,etc etc. Poor ukraine. being played like fools.
Yeah, well, my 2 guys are sitting on sideline, nasdaq down 33% , s&p 15% but yeah money is rolling in….bullshit
Record profits for business.
Easy to look up.
for some maybe, look at tech? oil companies are taking profit due to your leftist pos pres
“record profits for business”
You might try taking a look at which sectors are providing record profits and where those profits are headed.
Autos? Tech?
Ford? Meta? Alphabet?
Do you read Bloomberg?
Or is that a Lib untrustworthy source of info?
pay the people more!
lol
Reading bout the railroads fucking over the unions is no bueno.
lib communist and not trustworthy since chy-na owns that fkn pos traitor coward dwarf pos
temporary due to moran supply chain issues, etc. they aren’t hiring more either
Whose not hiring? Must be fake news since it doesn’t fit with your personal bias.
Payroll employment increases by 263,000 in September; unemployment rate edges down to 3.5%
10/07/2022
Real average hourly earnings for all employees decrease 0.1% in September
10/13/2022
lol, if you believe those numbers then we are done here.
This is the problem here.
You only believe the numbers that side with your beliefs.
I agree we are done since you don’t believe any facts that don’t align with your bias.
A quote to ponder:
start by googling “dropped out of work force” and those are the low level bs jobs.
Why would I google that?
Payroll increased. That’s more jobs as an aggregate unless I missed something.
U3 vs U6 numbers.
You mean Michael Bloomberg’s “news”?
The Democrat who ran as in independent for mayor and President?
Eh. That site leans left.
Funny how the WSJ has reported on some of the largest trade imbalances we’ve ever seen over the last year.
It cracks me up how mad you guys are that the economy is not a dumpster fire.
If you followed the economic news predictions, you wouldn’t be this surprised.
The economy is a dumpster fire despite this bs stat, that’s the issue. Please do explain why the nasdaq is down 33%, we have debt out the ass, highest inflation of my life, gas is $4 a gallon, food up at least 50%. etc. WTF are you even talking about? Do you think anybody is hiring or giving raises sans the scam artists like the big banks????
Do you think anybody is hiring or giving raises sans the scam artists like the big banks????
Well, we are hiring and I got a 6% raise last year.
overall, cause if you do you are a moran.
I think somebody needs a hug.
Do you work for government?
of course, all puke libs do and rely on the taxpayer like the feeble children they are while they bury the real men. Might as well start calling me Hank Reardon
Healthcare is booming, so I guess I have a unique position.
Currently my paycheck comes from a joint venture between a university and a non-government hospital.
The sources below say employment and pay overall is out pacing inflation….probably also fake news….right?
Payroll employment increases by 263,000 in September; unemployment rate edges down to 3.5%
10/07/2022
Real average hourly earnings for all employees decrease 0.1% in September
10/13/2022
That’s good!
how much of healthcare boxes out those without the shot even in remote roles?
Not my problem if people choose not to work.
fuck it’s not, wait til you get cut
lol, healthcare is a fkn scam in the usa, funded by the taxpayer. Get out in the REAL for profit world and tell me who the fuck is hiring? My goddamn massage therapist got bit by a cat and it got infected. Fkn IV drip in the ER? $22,000? who the fuck do you think is getting scammed on that?
I love these unhinged posts. Do you think health care is a right and should be free for everyone? Hahaha. I mean really, what is your individual plan for a cat bite infected with Bartonella henslae? You could just treat it the old fashioned way as the sepsis climbs up your arm, place a tourniquet on your bicep and saw it off just above the elbow. Try to keep your wits about you as the liter of catpiss IPA you drank will only dull the pain so much.
Could always drive down to Mexico?
Seriously, give your head a shake. What would you charge for an antibiotic that saves someone’s arm? What does it cost to keep an ER open and fully staffed with diagnostic testing available 24/7?
Objectivity is lacking. Just a lot of anger.
Cost me 25.00 and 1.37 for the antibiotic
Mick, could you give me your GPS coordinates? My Big Pharma overlords have instructed me to deploy a tactical retrieval team to reprogram your thinking. Why of course all illnesses including cancer can be cured by low cost OTC drugs but the medical industry doesn’t want anyone to know it.
Insurance is a big industry too: lol
No, I think obamacare for lowlife welfare feeble losers is wrong. Fuck you mccain you fkn traitor scumbag.
I never said not to treat it. It doesn’t cost 22k for an antibiotic IV drip and leave. Period. BTW- chy-na makes 95% of our antibitoics so should be cheap??? lmao.
Insurance companies, banks, big paharma and the scam they charge for drugs, etc. are the issue and nobody has the fkn balls or even can get into their shit. I can buy my fkn truck for 22K today.
I see it is now an every day occurrence in the mecca of universal health care that ERs close for extended periods of time because they have inadequate staffing, with a sign on the door pointing them to the next ER down the line, often sixty or more kilometers away.
Average wait time to be seen at the University Hospital in Edmonton is 10 hours.
Not all antibiotics are created equal. Some are cheap to manufacture, some are not. Drug of choice for Pasteurella is typically a penicillin derivative so should be cheap but regardless I can’t make it in my shouse.
You are neglecting to factor the costs of staffing and keeping the ER open. Your massage therapist (seriously?) has insurance, correct? What was her out of pocket expense for the ER visit? Surely not $22,000?
Is that walking distance?

all BS, let people starve for a week and they will work, period. The hospitals, etc. are a joke.
It DOES NOT matter that the insurance companies pay for it. That’s why premiums fr healthy people went up 1000% and still are. It’s a bad joke, that is all. $500 for 30 days on blood pressure med but medicare pays (taxpayers pay) and it’s the biggest part of the budget and unsustainable.
PS you should cancel your SVT Lightning order and then buy your pickup for $22,000. Will save at least 40K that way.
I might
Since you won’t do your own research, Ill do it for you:
Leisure and hospitality added 83,000 jobs in September
Health care rose by 60,000
Business services continued its upward trend (+46,000). Thus far in 2022, job growth in the industry has averaged 72,000 per month.
Investigation and security services (+9,000)
Scientific research and development services (+5,000).
Manufacturing employment continued to trend up in September (+22,000). Job gains occurred in
motor vehicles and parts (+8,000), fabricated metal products (+6,000), and electrical equipment and appliances (+3,000). Manufacturing has added an average of 36,000 jobs per month thus far in 2022.
Construction continued to trend up (+19,000)
Employment in wholesale trade continued its upward trend in September (+11,000).
There’s more, but you’ll just call it fake.
Payroll employment increases by 263,000 in September; unemployment rate edges down to 3.5%
lmao, the left got 10x that laid off and the job numbers I GUARANTEE you go down
Keep on cryin’
There are job openings across the board in health care.
Because they were fired for not being vaxed maybe?
Yup, NY just had to bring them back. And they got rich from the covid scamemic. It’s the biggest scam in all history of this country.
I don’t know any nurses (RN/LPN/CNA) doctors anesthetists etc that were fired for not being vaxxed. I won’t argue that nobody has been fired in health care for not being vaxxed but there have always been religious exemptions etc for vaccinations, at least in my state.
The reality is a ton of people left the field during the pandemic. The reality is that a MA can make more money at Target than they do rooming patients and running medical practices. The reality is there has been significant wage compression as a result of the necessity of attracting housekeeping, dietary, maintenance, etc personnel to hospitals where they are vital to the functions of a hospital.
I would expect wages to increase significantly in nursing which will drive an increase in health care costs.
That’s my experience as well MT regarding the shot.
We treat it like the flu vaccine, which is that we push it pretty hard, but you can get around it.
I got a few co-workers that do not get the flu or covid shots.
I think they have different rules for nurses and the MDs though.
gov’t paid corrupt shot, FTFY
Look at Duluth.
both hospitals fired em.
i think alot of people “quit” vs getting fired.
i know at least 3 nurses who quit vs waited to get fired when they wouldn’t accept their religious exemptions
In Duluth?
49 they fired.

if people would be allowed to start starving they would work
I agree with your take. Healthcare had a shortage even before the pandemic. My point was that some of it was self inflicted, making the situation worse.
Your ER number wait time is concerning. We are currently going through a health issue for my daughter. Autoimmune issue. No specialist would see her until January. We can’t wait that long. Enzyme production threatening her kidneys. So we go to the ER. Waited for hours.
This is a huge problem. What created this problem? My guess is Government rules and regs.
Plus, the fact that few medical/nursing schools desire to expand. They set the number of slots and don’t seem will to expand to fulfill market conditions.
Canoe Girl tells me it’s because of the kickbacks and subsidies the feds give to them that aren’t increasing very rapidly, but I haven’t looked into it.
That’s a factor. Universities and hospitals get big money from the government. They make decisions based on what government funds are given to them.
controlled by the ama
no shit? big business gov’t funded bullshit
I was replying to this reasoned post
unhinged anger comes from cognitive dissonance.
They knows these are facts, but it bumps against core beliefs.
So they lash out in anger.
Funny, I always thought the republicans were the rational adults in the room, and dems were the whiny, angry child that the adults had to deal with.
At some point it all went to shit.
Whenever a lib claims a righty is wrong, it seems like they claim that the righty is an unhinged angry person. Pretty silly.
Can you honestly tell me that 5 is not on an unhinged rant?
Even you are angry about these numbers.
Why?
not at all, I never let this stuff get out of hand. I just laugh at you trying to turn the current situation into a bright spot. It’s laughable and typcial of gov’t paid freeloaders like yourself who produce nothing but get paid by the taxpayer.
At what point am I trying to turn this into a bright spot?
The first thing I posted was that this was all a mirage due to import/exports, and that we are most likely heading to a recession in 2023.
You guys refuse to accept the numbers.
Yup. That’s the irony. Why would I be at all upset that the entire country is going down the tubes? I mean, I have my same salary coming form the taxpayer while I produce not a GD thing and can’t survive in the real world. ALL THE MONEY COMES FROM THE PRIVATE SERCTOR and is grifted to commies hiding in academia, etc.
We could take a vote on how many people think you are unhinged.
Just use the like/dislike button.
No, it comes from salary stealing gov’t workers telling us the economy is great when NOBODY believes that in any way
There are
everywhere: in all political affiliations, economic geographics, religious or non-religious affiliations, ethnic groups, etc.
It’s almost like a pandemic. Of course it has been this way for eons.
Only because we aren’t allowed to kill them like they do in other countries
whiny, angry child that the adults had to deal with.
nobody in the non gov’t paid world outside of the lower 30% of blue collar work force is hiring ftmp. That’s why the nasdaq and sp are down huge
railroads are hiring.
Yeah because half their work force is quitting due to draconian work practices and a Union that won’t back them.
thx obummer, spooning traitor pos buffet all the energy at way more pollution and cost and fuck the railroads too, pos losers
There’s a lot of job openings. Even right now. Google makes this info really easy to see.
list them for us, those that are white collar only too.
I did below. Are these white collar jobs?

Business services continued its upward trend (+46,000). Thus far in 2022, job growth in the industry has averaged 72,000 per month.
Scientific research and development services (+5,000).
lmao, you mean some re-hires?
Do you know what an upward trend means?
Or are they just re-hiring the same 72,000 each month?
You just can’t accept anything that doesn’t mesh with your current beliefs, can you?
Still working on re-hiring the people who lost their jobs when the economy was shut down. I still see restaurants closing daily because of staff shortages. We can’t even get a half way qualified person to apply because nobody wants to work. Something changed in the psyche of the average American during the Covid shutdown. Everybody thinks they deserve a work from home job and people don’t realize some people aren’t worth more than minimum wage. The world needs ditch diggers too and the country needs to value an honest days work again and accept that there will always be disparity in outcome because some people are just better at certain things than others.
I hear you.
I was just posting numbers since apparently no one is hiring, everything is bad, and I’m a dumb lib.
Correct, it’s called “the pos demonrats trying to install socialism so they gave all this money out and nobody will work now and they 100% causes all this”
Boomers retired, gen ex replaced them, too many millennials and gen Z living off trust funds from greatest generation to replace the gen exers and others who moved up. Lack of skilled and unskilled labor.
In experienced idiots being put in charge because the are the best available. All caused by intentional virus release to get rid of Trump who was exposing the swamp of elites.
There are all kinds of factors, including seasonal adjustments, construction booms that affect administrative-types and retailers, etc.
Construction is slowing dramatically so it will affect retail and other sectors.
Means my penis is getting hard.
business services are fkn bank tellers who make min wage, tesla lays off, oracle is laying off, computer demand is at 20 year lows, uber is about BK, peloton is about bk, banks have laid off tons, etc etc. Unemployment HAS TO go up that’s what happens and what they need to happen. period
Why would I be mad?
Oh, yeah, the current Administration is full of communists who are literally trying to destroy private enterprise and replace it with leftist government programs financed out of thin air like a house of cards, as they have done for the last 100+ years.
I’m not even mad. There’s just more to it than this number higher than this number. Or lower for unemployment.
I don’t care enough to do a deep dive on all of it and throw it up here for interpretation.
Well you’re brainwashed by ingesting all pro negative info about the left why would you believe it?
I don’t ingest opinion from any “news”.
I’m qualified to crunch the numbers myself.
So, what was your opinion on economic growth for this quarter?
Did you not see what mark Zandi or the WSJ was predicting?
Sorry, economists come and go like flies, so I don’t follow them like a teen girl following an “influencer”
My prediction is that the final numbers will be adjusted so far down after these fake numbers, that no one will hardly believe it.
Nor care
modern so-called economists are literally the dumbest of the so-called educated class in all history. they spout the same shit and they are never right about anything. the worst being krugman, lmao. “trANSITORY” “soft landing” “MMT” unreal
Krugman is perhaps the biggest idiot in economics who ever lived. He only spews what his New York leftist idiots want him to spew.
I think that’s the issue. It’s group think and they want to get noticed so they go along and say the leftists diatribe. If anybody thinks having 32T in debt is good then they are complete fools. This will come home top roost and your fiat currency is going away imo. watch
you mean 32 trillion of debt we can barely pay the interest on is bad? or you mean using up the entire SOR for midterms is bad? Or that 70% of our food is shipped via semi and desiel is running out is bad? Or the home loan apps being at 1999 levels is bad? or eroding people’s biggest item of value in SFH is bad? Or paying $6 a dozen for eggs which people of any income class is bad? Or that taxes in denver are going up during a recessions is bad? lol
how can you gaslight like this? what a load of shit
Lol I agree.
Yes, I see when you post these, lol
thanks obama!!!!
Define gdp please. It grew less than inflation, so it actually went down.
cal is a scumbag but that’s a nice gesture. These are the kind of people lowlife liberals hate. Fuck them
LOL, my dad worked in a mine, it wasn’t uncommon at all for dad’s to show up to events strait from the mine covered in dirt and dust where I grew up. Cool story tho and nice to see these pos type of people like Calipari do something other than violate ncaa guidelines to win more games.
exactly, he’s a fkn dirtbag in all ways but to his credit he made it the liberal way, cheating, lying, having no character or any integrity whatsoever
Did you all watch the video up top? If not, you should.
