Lol at the Merican education system. Remember when McD tried to sell 1/3 pound burgers and Mericans though 1/4 pound burgers were more.

Did they actually put this out as an official announcement, or is it more that they scheduled a meeting which was then reported on as a possibly unintended consequence?Random Stranger posted:I just want to point out that pornhub could always search their logs for connections from White House IP addresses and tell us what President Trump likes.

Pornhub probably cannot determine which of the dozens of desktop computers in the White House made the request (if they can, someone in the federal IT department hosed up bad).

Markets go up in part over complete bullshit and have to come back down because the bullshit isn't sustainable. Ideally it can come back down safely without crashing, which is hopefully what we're seeing here

This is a weird take? There are a bunch of markets that are way over leveraged right now and when ‘the market’ crashes there will be another crazy whisperer cashing out and telling everyone ‘you should have listened to me about all those junk car loans’ or whatever. It is hardly unexpected at this point though and we have a better than 20% chance it’s going to happen in the next six months.

We are "due for a correction" from tariffs crashing certain segments of the economy, and Trump's recent behavior is terrifying to investors, just to name several of many reasons that the stock market is expected to lower significantly for a while. Trump has hitched his self-worth as a president to the stock market because he is a moron, so that would perhaps necessitate some weird behavior from Mnuchin. What it actually presages may be some further bizarre and stupid action by Trump, like replacing the Fed chairman over interest rates.
