Your ideology and stupidity will afford you a lifestyle just above poverty because you have made yourself incapable of achieving the American dream. Women will find you repulsive, so thankfully your weakness will die with you.

But sure dude, tell us your ideas on the best way to attain "Living comfortably in peace" and let's see how destructive it is for anyone who isn't a total degenerate waste of life leech on society.
I look forward to being enlightened by your infinite wisdom.
Are ticket sales down because (a) the economy is so bad that nobody can afford tickets this year or (b) most businesses run by Trump fail?Quote:
Ticket sales and subscription revenue at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts have fallen sharply since President Trump made himself chairman in February, according to data compiled by employees that was obtained by The New York Times.
Single-ticket sales were down roughly 50 percent in April and May, compared with the same period in 2024, according to the data. Subscriptions, traditionally an important source of revenue, have also declined significantly this season: Revenue was down 82 percent for theater and 57 percent for dance.

* Covid lockdowns were over and a surge of spending happened.
* Labor shortages pushed wages up.
Cost-Push Inflation: Rising costs cause prices to rise
* Global supply chain disruptions, causing shortages.
* Energy price spikes caused by terrible US policy and the Russian-Ukraine war.
* Used car prices soared due to chip shortages
You can also look at the economic indicators of 2022 and today and realize that the economy is more stable, with lower inflation, GROWING wages and stronger consumer health.
Inflation was 9.1% in June 2022.. today it's maybe 3%? = Better economy today
Unemployment rate is stable = wash
Real Wage Growth: 2022 was negative since inflation outpaced wage growth. Today it's positive. = Better economy today
GDP Growth: 2022 near zero, technically a recession. Today growing at 2% = Better economy today
Stock market: 2022 down 19% Today: Recovered and near record levels = Better economy today
Gas Prices: 2022 $5.00/gal Today $3.50/gal = Better economy today
Consumer confidence: 2022 Low due to inflation and recession fears Today it's recovered with better job security = Better economy today
Interest rates: 2022 Rising fast from .25% to 4.25% in one year. Today: Holding steady and no longer increasing rapidly = Better economy today
Housing Market: 2022 Prices surged then froze due to rate hikes. Today: Stabilized where sales and prices are returning to normal = Better economy today.
I realize 99% of this went over your head, but it's important to call out stupidity when it's simply just wrong.
lol I love it.Quote:
