More folks tapping retirement accounts to get Sugar Bowl tix.

Losers I say. Fucking losers

Something about daddy

Retail sales are good though.

People keep buying food

On credit.

Because they're pulling money from their retirement accounts to go to the Sugar Bowl according to the dumb as dirt Oregon fan. Those are the dumb decisions putting them in that predicament.

Bob you seem like you have your finances in order, are you racking up high credit card bills or pulling from your retirement account to do this stuff?

It's all out there if you are capable of looking past anecdotes. Balances are way up, % that carry a balance month to month are way up, and missed payments are way up.

Are you in that state? Or are you fiscally responsible? I'm surprised youre fighting me on this to be honest.

The Duck fan just posted an article where people are pulling out of their retirement funds to go to the Sugar Bowl. He thinks its because its the sorry state of the economy. I think that article is a commentary of morons making dumb decisions and putting themselves into that state. What'd you think of that?

My state is irrelevant. People aren't happy with their personal positions relative to a few years ago.

So I take it you agree with me on the Duck idiot's post. There, thats a start.

Regarding your post:

1) Where's that source? If thats coming from a Republican biased source, then I think you know that answer.
2) Its very simple, when you look at it through the narrow scope of Gas Prices, yes youre not gonna be happy. When you expand your horizons and look at the bigger picture (Your net worth should have grown by the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions during that time at the expense of paying thousands more in food costs) you should be happy. Unless you're dumb as dirt like these Duck fans who make dumb decisions with their money.

Here's a thought....if they have to tap into their retirement accounts to get Sugar Bowl tix.....maybe they shouldn't go?? If you're making dumb decisions like this, that explains why you're financially strapped?? You think? What other dumb decisions are you making?

It's hard to make fun of you when you do such a spectacular job of that yourself.

I mean, people can see the type of advice you Duck fans are giving. I’d offer to give you Ducks financial advice but I’d be wasting my time. You can’t make caviar from dogshit.

The Tug don't care who you are a fan of

Unless you are a fan of Joe Biden and the WEF/CCP overlords.

Then, fuck off.

Labor participation rate is still down since January 2020 and not trending well. Couldn't find a chart on the Sugar Bowl participation rate which is the gold standard of course for the status of the economy.

Same game as under Obama.

The unemployment rate is so low! If you don't count all the people who are long term unemployed.

So is Labor Participation up since January 2021? According to that chart it looks like its trending upwards just like it was doing under Trump.

Here's what Labor Participation rate did from when Trump was in office, to Janurary 2020 which was right before pandemic hit

Trump:
Jan 2017. - 62.8
Jan 2020 - 63.3

Biden:
Jan 2021 - 61.5
Now - 62.5


This is why I call you Oregon fans dumb as dirt. You can't intrepret a chart.

So about 3 million less participants in total. Which means true unemployment is actually somewhere around 7%.

Something Something dumb as dirt.

Doog, cmon bro. You’re just flat out ignoring he had a lower number to start with?? What’s with the spin doctoring?

“What hypothetical? Why was unemployment and participation that low from the 2019 high”.

I dont know, but all I know whatever it was happened under Trump’s watch. but notice, I did an apples to apples comparison about Trumps improvement of that rate from 2017 when he took office to when it reached that 2019 high? You did notice I didn’t try to trick and blame Trump for it being at the 61.5 where Biden found it at right? You noticed that?

Based on how you guys are making your arguments in here, thats certainly something some of the idiots in here like the Duck fans would have tried to do.

No, you just intentionally ignored the effect of the blue state and blue city lockdowns on the small business private sector economy by your side. In March of 2020 record growth in real wages that then went into the shitter with the blue lockdowns. Again by your side. Not having record increase in real wages today and the future looks poor under dem rule. I've asked you to list your team economic policies that have created what you think is a great economy. For some reason, you have failed to do so.
