Warren Buffett Shuns ESG, Invests in Fossil Fuels
https://redstate.com/heartlandinstitute ... ls-n785691
At his recent annual meeting, Buffett made it clear that he thinks oil production remains central to U.S. prosperity. “In the United States, we’re lucky to have the ability to produce the kind of oil we’ve got from shale,” he said. He also declared, “We do not think it’s un-American to be producing oil,” and vowed, “We will make rational decisions” in reference to fossil fuel investment.

Damn, this credit rating drop is going to fuck things up even worse. This is only the 2nd time in history that the credit rating of the USA has been downgraded. Last time was when Obama was fucking up the economy. Now its Biden's turn and the worst is probably yet to come. Next they probably downgrade Freddie Mae and Mac.

Re: NEW GAME: If you could only pick one stock for 2023
So, you are blaming trump for Covid and the money the government had to use to prop up the economy during the complete shut down of every business in this country during April and May of 2020. But, then you give a complete pass to the Biden, who went ahead and mailed out another $2 trillion after the virus was on the downhill, the vaccines were rolled out, and the economy had mostly recovered? Get the fuck out with that non sense.saltydog wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 8:55 pmConsidering the damage done by the previous office holder, it's been a messy cleanup.

Re: NEW GAME: If you could only pick one stock for 2023
"For individual tax deductions, the TCJA reduced some of the overall tax rates and changed many deductions. First, the TCJA reduced the seven brackets from 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%, and 39.6% respectively to 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%. Further, the income levels for the brackets were slightly increased, which generally reduced taxes for individuals. Secondly, the TCJA greatly increased the standard deduction from $6,500 to $12,000 for individuals and from $13,000 to $24,000 for those filing jointly."saltydog wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 8:58 pmUnder Biden, yes.

Overall it lowered taxes for the middle class. I have a lot of clients who didn't benefit due to the change of the limit of State and Local tax deduction to $10K on Schedule A. Also, employees could no longer claim unreimbursed business expenses on their Schedule A. People who don't itemize generally paid less after the new rules.

Which goes to show you how burned out your brain has become. Its not about sides. Its about truth. The truth is, Trump lowered taxes for the middle class along with every class. Those are just facts and they aren't debatable. And they aren't apparently understandable to someone that only sees it as "sides".

Wow. That is really your default position for everything, isnt it? If it benefitted a whole lot of people from a whole lot of income levels what does it matter?
Youre angry that what youve been told and believed for years isnt actually true so we'll cut you some slack.
