@big-ryan no brad summed you up perfectly bowl. the site owner has no idea how to police a board where the posters have been around forever and believed the word of shooter. or hickory trying to report everything because he's a vapid shill. let that set in. nonsense is what you post because you post an abridged version of a story that comports with whatever you are trying to support. it's rarely of any moment because you leave out salient things. like trying to pretend biden had anything ot do with curbing inflation etc. inflation subsided because he couldn't get what he wanted. THAT is the germane bit. you tell half stories. half truths. combined it adds up to garbage, bowl. it leads to limited valuable discussions because it's at once dishonest and disingenuous. now brad things you're garbage because you're just a pure liar. and i think you are too. but you are redeemable and in truth we don't have very many posters as it is. we'd all prefer an active board. just try to do better.
I wonder what Warsh will be investigated for.
Trump inherited an inflation rate that was approaching the Fed's desired 2%. He promised to lower it further and to drive down prices, beginning on Day 1.
He has single-handedly fucked this up.
"You know what I really love? I love the inflation." -Trump
The CPI has climbed above 4% for the first time in three years, stemming from the Iran War's surge in energy prices.
For consumers, soaring inflation has made it harder to make ends meet.
Tariffs and the Iran War have, according to one estimate, cost each household more than $3,100 from January 2025 through May 2026.
Thanks, Trump.
Trump might 'love the inflation,' but consumers feel the pain: Experts
When Trump took office in January 2025 inflation had cooled significantly and was tracking near the Fed's 2% target. But he foolishly imposed his illegal tariffs, and started a war he doesn't know how to end, and here we are. Sad.
May’s inflation data highlights the affordability concerns for Americans ahead of the midterms and puts fresh focus on Trump's pledge to lower prices.

Tariffs aren't inflationary. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Let's not go opening up old wounds. We all get banned from time to time.
@carramrod permanent bans where you end up with a board where 80 percent of the threads are started by butch with mark shooter and hickory liking them.
Thats not engagement. Twenty was dead on. Forums drive everything. And you want a reason to come back every thirty minutes. No one is doing that for articles. As twenty said it’s forums. So you need a lot of posters. Drama. Engagement. Not an echo chamber. Anyway. Many of us have been on these since the 90s. What works is clear. Anyway. France is on
Drama, engagement, frog soccer.

New Peegs site has a bunch of boards. Their version of the Water Cooler is called Civil Discourse but it's not getting a lot of action. I look at the football and basketball forums often during the season and they get some action. You can go over there and try to stir up some action.@carramrod lol no I enjoy you Brad hooky Lars snarl Joe one eyed coh Spartans all4iu and on and on. I did that before. It’s entertaining for a bit but not really. What’s the other iu board people post on now?
