    Yeah, there's more than the inflation side of the argument here and the other part of it has played out this year arguably. The other argument is high enough tariffs just cause demand destruction and they don't actually lead to new factories being built. I mean we did this before already. We...

    Economics Thread

    Be forewarned, part of this is bitterness by me involving US stocks but here goes nothing anyway: US stock and bond markets have been screaming at you since October that in considering GDP growth next year, you'll likely have to factor in a good bit of scale back in the AI project in the US...

    I'm anti-Trump, but tbh even I would say the answer atm is probably "not much," but I have some good reasoning behind why. I don't think it's likely vol spends much time under 15 with his mercurial nature. There were other points this year where a big pop could've happened, but not as of now...

    There's a stronger chance then many may think that the IEEPA tariffs get nuked, but even in a world where that doesn't occur, I'm beginning to see a likely path where inflation just hangs around 2.8-3% for another year and then goes lower slowly and you'll be able to thank oil and housing here...

    Lukewarm take, the 2019 economy was good, but it was nothing that was drop dead amazing. It was slowing down a little. Your likely case in a world with no COVID is that Trump does get reelected, but he doesn't get the House back in his favor, and you end the Trump era with 6 straight years of...

    Yeah, that definitely sounds like "socialism, just wrapped in right wing cultural tinges, so Trump/MAGA love it." Love your enthusiasm, and I personally do side this way, but as a natural Debbie Downer, unless AI busts soon, my personal vibe at this point is that MAGA gets everything that they...

    GDT 8/20/25 - Braves vs White Sox - Getting More Waldrep Data

    Yeah, Elder was recently fine against the Mets, but anybody putting any significant hope in him is just being silly. He can't be in the rotation next year (and for that matter, although it's not the same deal, even if Reynaldo doesn't like it, I don't think he can be counted on as a major...

    This is pretty well played by Europe in general. They've learned from the last decade that Putin meddling could easily cause a refugee crisis and there has been a sharp turn against immigration by the world in general. And frankly, any "deal" is a no go without EU peacekeepers at least...

    Thing that’s funny is that I may actually have to agree with his assessment, but there are multiple different interpretations you can bring here on why. Myself, I land personally on for him, he found Trump to be too wild and unpredictable and he’d worry about what he’d have to deal with if he...

    GDT 7-27: Braves at Rangers

    Frankly, 62-100 seems very, very likely at this point.

    GDT 7/6: Bobby Cox Sunday Special

    They don't want to do it as it'll be for sure admitting defeat on the hitting philosophy change, but Harris absolutely cannot play another game in MLB this season until September. The longer he stays up, the more likely it is that the Braves destroy his career.

    GDT 7/5: Marcell Moves Down; Will Today be a Bummer?

    Bullpen games are just undoable with Brian. He has no clue how to manage them well.

    6/27: Phillies game 1

    Just signed in for the first time in ages to say yep to this. Just insanity how checked out this team is right now. Gonna probably have to option Elder to Gwinnett for an arm (or this guy in now).

    GDT 9/11/22: Braves @ Mariners - A must win day game

    Based off Snit's comments, you would be badly mistaken. AA will have to cut Kenley for Kenley to not continue to close.

    Herschel Walker

    I think he'll enter the race. Would be surprised if he doesn't at this point tbh. While once he does, if he does, he's definitely the favorite in the primary, I wouldn't say he's a guarantee to win it. Gary Black is a solid candidate because of Georgia's agriculture business. Probably has the...
