"The title sez it all"


  - Fed Chair J. Powell said, paraphrasing, we can't criticize Congress, they're our boss.

What a crock.  How can they give an honest, accurate assessment of what's happening without attacking excess spending?  It IS the problem.

"Tactical disengagement"

- Well I guess the lawn chair joke isn't funny.  How do you put out an EV fire?  With a lawn chair.  A fire shouldn't be left unattended.   I forgot there might be a family trapped inside.

Maybe they're all connected like aspen trees.

Seriously, if we put them everywhere to eliminate "climate change", they will change wind patterns,  cause "climate change".

Mr.Dhume is a well known India basher, sort of like a democrat who cant stand Republican achievements.

"Despite this progress, India still faces many challenges. Here’s the glass-half-empty version of the story: India’s economic performance looks much less impressive when contrasted with that of other countries. India’s per capita GDP ($2,730) is about 1/30th of America’s ($85,370) and about one-fifth of China’s ($13,140). Indermit Gill, chief economist at the World Bank, estimates that at current growth rates it will take 75 years before per capita GDP in India reaches a quarter of the U.S. figure.

And there’s no guarantee this will happen. According to World Bank research, most poor countries hit a wall at 10% of U.S. per capita GDP. At current growth rates, it could take decades for India simply to catch up with Indonesia, which has a per capita GDP of $5,270."

There is much that can be discussed re: this passage of his. Fair to say, India will be the 3rd largest economy within the next 3 years, ahead of Germany and Japan. Thats good enough for the present.
