That may legitimately be the best political ad I've seen since Christine O'Donnell had to publicly proclaim that she wasn't a witch.
I came in here looking for you, specifically. For the last few months, I've felt like I've been staring into an alternate reality whenever I post here. The modal response to most posts about the economy can be boiled down to:
- The economy is great.
- It's your fault you didn't invest $500,000 in the S&P 500 in 2008, after the crash.
- You're stupid for not having a 20% down payment available for a house in 2011.
- Only a barely sentient retard who fell for a Chinese psy op would have any reason to oppose data centers.
- Only someone who is low-human-capital would suggest that CPI Inflation data is not capturing a useful snapshot of price pressure on the average American.
The zeitgeist here directly contradicted what I was hearing on the ground in the four states where I spend time. I put a lot of effort into figuring out if I was in a bubble, or if the people here were.
These election results are a stark reminder that motte posters are not a representative sample of the broader US population.

Spending is $2,113.15 less than the same day last year. I'm back on track.
It's been a choppy week for the markets, with the last five days seeing the S&P 500 decline by 3%, the NASDAQ 100 decline by 5.6%, and the DJIA decline by 1.4%.
Internationally, the KOSPI tripped its circuit breakers again, and has fallen 10.2% in the last five days. Japan isn't doing great either.
At the same time, all hell has broken loose in Paraguay due to a bank failure, which is probably unrelated.
Do you think we're looking at a meabingful correction here, or just some jitters?
