US billionaires' fortunes have skyrocketed $845 billion since March

Lovable! LOL!

Can I call you The Fuzzball from now on? Very catchy!

Seriously, I don't dislike you. What I feel when you refuse to read the facts that are presented to you is disappointment.

 

That shows that ALL low income people were fired?

 

I didn't say "significantly." I asked if they've gone up. Your answer is very clearly a YES - you just added "not significantly" because you're DESPERATE to play down anything that Trump has done and not give him credit for anything! You probably aren't even aware of the historic Israel/UAE deals because of the JOKE biased majority-left wing media!

 

You have me all wrong.

Wages were going up by tiny amounts under Obama. Trump simply did nothing to change that.

And regardless of the administration's motives, anything that gets the tribes in the Middle East to stop killing each other is a good thing and I applaud it.

 

I was somewhat surprised that most people spent their free $1200 (often more) at Walmart and Amazon instead of at the drug dealer's or helping a poor girl work her way through college dancing naked in a pole, so this restores my faith in humanity.

 

My plan was to support local topless bar - but my wife stole the check President Trump sent me.

 

You should have her arrested just before Stimulus II and steal it back from her check. Slide rules and textbooks are expensive for those poor downtrodden lasses.

 

If you look at the first few months, you would also see they shrunk substantially. Despite a lot of movement to and fro, my investments are still within a few percent of where they were before the virus hit and the market staggered. I'm better positioned to gain than before- but no better off. If you looked at it short term, I would be- but that ignores the loss period. That's how investing works.
Old saying is "Stairs up, elevator down".....

 

Slide rules? They're antique dealers?

I knew a girl like that; working her way through MIT, Quanta Queenie, we all called her.

 

Some pilots still use circular slide rules. Aviation watches have them on them but most people don't notice.

 

In HS I had a wooden slide rule. Always got to me that math was hard enough without making me rely upon my crappy eyesight, though I later found out my nearsighted eyes were better than most for close work. I just wasn't good at math.

 

I doubt most people who are good with the E6B aviation slide rule could use a straight old time style one. They are specifically designed for aviation and for use using one hand. My high school QPS teacher still used a straight slide rule. Had a giant one hanging over the board behind his desk. He taught us how to use it, but I couldn't now if I tried. He was faster than a calculator with it though.

 

So why shouldn't Obama and Trump get credit for allowing it to go up by not doing anything to prevent it from going up?

Good. So then you must think that the biased majority-left wing media are a complete JOKE for barely covering it.

 

I watch what you call "the biased majority-left wing media." They most certainly did cover it. Hours of coverage on CNN as well as MSNBC. I certainly didn't learn about it on Fox News.

 

And how wold you describe their reaction to it? Positive? Praising Trump?
