American Economics Thread

Surely after the ban of Tiktok American children are gonna get better grades!

Not like the greater problems are overworked and underpaid teachers, school shootings, culture (not cool to be 'smart/nerdy') etc.

Moreover kids definitely won't just switch over and spend their time in say YouTube, Facebook, games etc.

Although even if they did, surely they can learn more from those sites/games, afterall they are made by US companies(well at least US companies get more money that will be taxed and spent on education, right?) , and they must surely also be safer and better for bringing up kids!

Facebook trying hard to ramp up fake news to get Tiktok banned in US. Bytedance valuation is probably higher than Meta right now.

Joe Biden said the average price of gas in the US is $3.39 and it was +5 dollars when he took over. But twitter itself denied saying that it was only $2.37 before

That's why I didn't expect Elon Musk

We went to 54 states. The reason is people didn’t realize that the only reason anybody who has a pre-existing condition can get healthcare is because of that Affordable Care Act. (Applause.) Tens of millions.

The four extra states of the United States are the states of madness, confusion, disbelief and angst.

Kudos to the White House for not editing out his gaffe from last Friday.

And the infighting is already starting.

I don't dare to make a definite prediction, but let's say that I wouldn't be surprised if drop in living standards, mounting economic pressure and subject republics jumping ship causes America to have its own Yeltsin moment, and Ukraine becomes remembered as their Afghanistan...

Once again showing why market cap is a terrible metric to measure tech companies

Remember when Americans were laughing at Tencent and Baba's stock price drops after the crackdowns

He didn’t say ‘average’. He said “most common price”. Or mode.
