Use the stock market as an indicator of how the economy is doing.
It is booming.

Why should someone on minimum wage be able to afford everything anyway? It's no different here.
It's the very bottom. It should just be enough to keep someone out of homelessness. If you want better then you must work for it. Extra qualifications etc.
The us do not have a ridiculous welfare policy like we have in Europe where people are rewarded for lack of ambition.
It's the home of capitalism.

Warren etc are full of it. The billionaires will pay through taxation. Don't make me laugh. That's pie in the sky populism

Who the hell uses the Dow Jones to measure how they are doing?

Nurses earn minimum wage, their work is not good enough according to you?

And, sorry for laughing, billionaires paying their fair share is "populism"?

****ing hell. You need to go back to school. My god, that is an embarrassing post. Dear oh dear!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAA

Holy jaysus, I've seem some excrement in my time, but your "thoughts and ideas" take the biscuit. What a stream of unintelligent ****e on a stick. A human being wasting space who should have a plastic bag wrapped around their head until they take their last breath.

There is definitely a ramping up of propaganda.

BBC are leading with a British Citizen on Hunger Strike. She is in prison in Tehran for Espionage.

Both Britain and the US are categorically stating that Iran are behind the oil tanker bombings.

Why would the Iranian government bomb oil takers in the Gulf of Persia?
Why the phuck would they bother?

Nasty stuff.

This is true. Worrying times ahead.

To play Devils advocate, for all his smack talk Trump hasn't directly involved the US in any conflicts since taking office. He has even reduced troop numbers in several areas.

If they attempt any kind of action in Iran oil prices will go crazy, and likely trigger a global recession. Iran is a regional powerhouse with a significant defence force.

Sad to see the UK towing the US line again, you'd think they have bigger problems to fucus on.

It depends who is pushing his buttons.

The escalation of a crisis will develop support for him with the elections on the way. It also distracts the Mexican Border issue and allows him to blame something else for not prioritising his delivery there. The fact remains that with no majority in the house of reps he can't build a wall anyway, or even pretend to.

To be frank I think he dreads foreign relations and all that it entails. Deep down whilst being extremely clever he is also an amateur at international affairs. He only became president on domestic issues, I doubt he even knows the name of the Iranian foreign minister.

Eitherways I suspect there are even bigger players at play here, particularly with the crude oil price increases.

After all that waffle there is no way Russia, China or Turkey would endorse US military action in the gulf. If they start it could get out of hand very quickly.
Given that reality I suspect the whole episode is being engineered, but a really really dangerous game.
