Trump says he bombed Iran

[FlyersFan]

There will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender 

Sure.
We knew that.
It wouldn't be anything else.
That's just confirmation.

If it was better than its ever been, it would be easy to show examples of that.

what metric are you using? GDP, wage growth, home ownership, unemployment, USD value, Stock market?

You can’t just say things with bold confidence and make it true.

I just gave you a list, you have no argument for anything I cited, you just circled back around because you've got nothing.

Oh and the lame argument of housing being unaffordable is also bs.
People think they deserve more that what they are worth because they have a false since of entitlement, just because you got a degree doesn't mean you get a job.
You have to actually be worth a damn at producing results which doesn't require a degree.

Modular houses can be afforded by anyone working a management position at a McDonald's they just think they are above it and they are not. 

Clayton Homes prices generally start in the $70,000s for, with many models available under $150,000 to $200,000 depending on the region.

The thread's drifting quite a bit


Trump drifting through the left's jackass attempts to piss on the war effort

tbh we never really know anything for certain when it comes to Trump
He could change his mind about a deal with Iran if things get too hot

But if his overarching goal is to take down the global economy 
War coupled with keeping that Strait closed a few more weeks would be the way to go

Buts coulds ifs

I'll quit posting if the Strait is closed for 3 weeks or longer...

Sure

just like all your buts could ifs that this all blows over next week, Trump brings peace to the middle east and the US goes through an economic boom aka Golden Age

We're all speculating at the same level


"I'll quit posting if the Strait is closed for 3 weeks or longer..."

you did say it would be reopened by last Monday...

Your list was anecdotal experience and inflation coming down (but still above target)

Average age for first time homebuyers is 40 now. You can say it’s BS, but we’re the richest nation on the planet. People owning homes has always been a core tenet of the American dream.

Not everyone has to do it, you probably shouldn’t at minimum wage, but they are unaffordable for most people making median income. That’s a problem considering we don’t even have a positive population rate for an economy built around growth. Probably won’t be a problem for older people, but certainly the future of America.

To be fair the Straight of Hormuz is officially closed, it looks like insurance companies are refusing to insure any vessel and it's cargo if the decide to use the Straight of Hormuz. Maybe that practice should be illegal. So as of right now it's enter at your own risk.

[putnam6]

No, unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be hunkydory at all, at least not for a while.

Lots more death, destruction, and turmoil ahead; there are too many leaders, countries, and moving parts involved.

Nothing this extensive ever goes smoothly, at least it hasn't in my lifetime.

But I understand Im a bit older, and so we may have differing viewpoints here.



hopefully Im wrong

My mind must be slipping at my advanced age. I am flattered you remember my posts, though.

I'd have to see the post to recall the exact context, but more than likely, I suggested Monday to counter some other purely speculative, far-off date

The situation is fluid as hell; getting the Strait back open could still happen by Monday.

Right now, they are playing whack-a-muslim cleric; sooner or later, they will whack the right one.
