Might be a blessing-in-disguise for Big Tits DeSantis. That bill was going to raise property taxes on thousands of working-class Floridians. I was kind of looking forward to the chaos. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Why is it necessary???????????? What are the repercussions for FL residents if Disney is not punished?????? How does this help the citizens of FL??????????? What happened to small govt and giving businesses freedom Republicans now believe in big govt and using that to interfere with a business simply due to politics The only reason to punish a business is if they did something criminal Support for Gays is not criminal It's wrong according to real conservative values Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Shrinking economy is the definition of a recession. The President is a fink. |

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 1998 | Two consecutive quarters of contraction is a recession. Another contraction in the second quarter will do it. GDP contracted at a 1.4% pace in the first quarter, despite all the added federal spending. So much for the post pandemic recovery. |

The usual definition includes two consecutive quarters of a shrinking economy indicate a recession. That is why I posed it as a question rather than a fact. It is more of a discussion item at this point…but I am not confident we are not falling into a recession. |

I am aware of that. But that is not pithy to say like my comment. The President is a fink. |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3117 | The implosion of the American political scene is based primarily on the low quality of politicians who seek political office. No longer do "the best and the brightest" people who genuinely care about The American People seek office. No, many (most?) candidates are backed by special interest groups, be it religious, corporate, or just plain zany, and they inculcate in their candidate the need to pursue their particular agenda at any cost. Bye-bye compromise; adios civility: in the balkanization of America there can be no quarter given. It's a damned shame. It's all because Big Money is allowed to be donated: end that and things might improve, otherwise we'll continue to endure an endless parade of rabid dogs. |
