Whiplash Enough already! This once great conclave is on the verge of dissolving into stupidity. Don’t think that this was Manlobbis goal upon creating this site. What’s even worse is that some of the more intelligent posters on this board are the worst offenders.Sad

It would be fine with me to move some of the political discussions to the USpolicy board on Shrewdm.

But there is plenty of good analysis going on here that has political content. Of necessity. I hope Manlobbi doesn't feel the need to start censoring messages. I think that's unlikely.

Useful, if political content that I appreciate...just a snippet from a recent post by mungofitch:

On a more practical note, Berkshire's revenues are essentially all in the US and in US dollars. The current official policies of the US are in the process of trashing the economy of the US by trashing trade (essentially the source of all wealth creation: the division of labour). There is no US prosperity without trade intensity. The tariffs are mostly a sideshow, because the real damage has come from the removal of all trust and the breaking of treaties and alliances, and because that damage is so much more lasting. Trading through a tariff is merely expensive, but trading with and supporting an enemy is odious.
