Yup. Get the economy booming right before the election so I guess the first cut will be 1st quarter.
These people are unreal. The punish us for 3 years then lighten up the election year, the after the resident steals the next election they’ll dump the economy permanently.
Where are these starving Americans? Because I'm not seeing them anywhere. In fact, I'm seeing the exact opposite. The majority of Americans are overweight.
The majority of Americans are overweight because our food industry and food scientists have been poisoning our food for decades.
One of my personal working assumptions is that the food industry creates health issues, i.e. obesity, cancer, etc. Most of these issues are created by all of the exotic ingredients in packaged foods. Just look at the ingredients next time at the grocery store. Of special note, look at how many are "genetically modified." Most of these are grains that are genetically modified.
The medical industrial complex sells "magic pills" to "cure" all the health issues. But when you listen to their ads, you realize their magic pills actually cause more and more issues that demand more magic pills.
It's all a vicious cycle and the food industry and medical industry are working hand in hand.
When times get tough economically, people tend to buy less of the whole, natural, expensive produce and meats. They replace it with the cheap stuff made with worse ingredients.
Just came here to say this! The Standard American Diet (SAD) is starving everyone who follows it. Even though people are stuffing their faces with "food", their bodies are starving for nutrients, plus, all the sugar is ruining their bodies.
There are definitely people in America who don't get enough food.
But it's nowhere near 50% of the population.
There is no reason to be all melodramatic about it. When you make silly statements like that, which is obviously not even close to being correct, you lose credibility. And for what? Just to be dramatic?
Weight is, contrary to retardedly held beliefs, more complex than calories in and calories out.
Hormonal imbalances lead to burning less calories or shoving more of those calories into fat. What causes that? Chemicals added to vegetables, meat and processed foods.
Also, a consistent sleeping schedule is important too and that is also disrupted with all the screens in people's homes and their hands.
On top of that, testosterone burns more calories than estrogen. What do most men have problems with today now? Testosterone.
Related to this is musculature. Muscle burns more calories than fat, and testosterone aids in the creation and maintenance of muscle.
On top of all that, it takes substantially more time to burn fat than it does to gain it.
I guess it's not accurate to say that America is starving -- yet -- but a substantial portion of their money is now going into being able to eat, and that will also lead them to make easier, less healthy choices.
Ok. Why are people giving me lectures on being overweight?
Because the first notion in your post is that you are looking at weight. I recognized your intent and that's why I added my edit to the bottom.
Also, I mean I speak negatively about fat people all the time. It's just that I know there are a lot of social and physical causes for that, so it has changed how I view it and who I silently judge for it.
I also didn't mean to lecture, I apologize. I just type out too many posts with too much effort to explain things.
All of you who are getting your panties in a twist, saying that lowering interest rates before an election is a shady thing to do, need to pay more attention to what is going on. And maybe take some ginkgo biloba to help your memory.
The Fed lowered interest rates to almost zero right before the pandemic hit. And Trump was pushing them to give us a negative interest rate. No one remembers that?
Interest rates already being close to zero made it more difficult to jump-start the economy after the pandemic.
I predicted this to my folks the other night. They will turn every lever they can to make it look like the economy is good. The one thing they can’t fix is inflation. If all you care about is your 401k you’ll be mostly happy. If you like to eat, short if subsidizing all of Americans this ain’t going to fix that.
They cannot escape the effects of inflation though they will try to distract from it next year. I expect them to cheat hard and flagrantly. 30mil amnesty right before election sounds about right.
My hope is that their attempts to “fix” the market actually triggers the recession. We need to flush all of that bad debt out sooner or later.
Real Estate is huge for the economy. I know it is a fake boost to lower the rates, but it will still be nice to see. For most of the people, I don't think it will sway them. Only the brain dead will think the Idiot In Charge is doing a good job.
sounds like some election cuts to me.

'Cooling down'? Half of America is starving and that is called cooling down? Do they actually believe their criminal lies?

Hyperbole isn't helpful.

All just my personal opinion.
I'm not picking on overweight people. I'm pointing out that the "half of America is starving" bit is complete nonsense.
Understood fren. Thanks!

You do not get out much, do you?
Why do you think that?
I do not think it, i know it. The starving are in every state and every city over 50k. I live in a 500k (red) city and they are everywhere.

I'm not ridiculing overweight people. I'm pointing out that the person who said half of America is starving is being ridiculous.
Just because I point out that they exist doesn't mean I'm speaking negatively about them.

So, down from 5.5% (Fed rate) to 4.25%? That's still much higher than when Trump was in charge.
Oh boy! Maybe I'll be able to afford a full cart of groceries in 2024!
Fuck all these evil parasites. The day of the Lord can't come soon enough for these creatures.
I can finance my groceries at that rate!

Buy your house BEFORE the election!

this is them telling you to buy the dips before it fucking bottoms out and goes bankrupt.
Too late.

It's like a boa constrictor, tighten and release.
Sweet. Sell the house for a profit, buy back in at lower rates in a bit. Maybe I'll get an RV
