I find this very interesting. My wife works in finance and the last 4 or 5 years have been incredible. As a matter of fact, even with the Covid, she is on the way to her best year ever.

As a side note, Ford released the new Bronco, i believe they are already sold out. FCA just released their new Ram TRX , a $90k truck...it sold out in three in a half hours. Go to your local ATV, boat or camper dealership and ask how they are doing. Most are sold out of stock. Talk to realtors, they are , people are buying and selling like crazy. Just down the street from me, a smallish lot, just under an acre sold for $95k, one day after closing they started building, a 3000 sq ft house.
We just returned from our cabin in a rural area, the closest town has roughly 1300 people. We saw two new businesses, and we saw at least 5 or 6 help wanted signs.
The handyman that watches our cabin has been extremely busy, picking up jobs that larger companies are turning down. Said he's been averaging a $100 an hour.

How can all this be happening when Trump has supposedly ruined the economy ? Something isn't adding up.

Kids get all this from their parents. Come on now. Jumping on the excuse bandwagon or blaming the teachers.

What type of parent (s) does this kid have?

Passing out trillions of dollars to keep the economy propped up is like drinking. It’s fun for a while, but taken to an extreme one will suffer a hangover in the morning. We’re setting up for The Mother of all hangovers.

Trump is a character.
Some kids, particularly those with higher levels of emotional intelligence, can be surprisingly good judges of character, even if they can't always articulate why.

Okay, so is the economy bad or is it going to be ? Seems like these things are cyclical and always will be.

Although, the trillions in debt that our country is in, from both parties will definitely catch up to us. Make it while you can.

“They’re starting again in California,” Trump said during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Thursday. “And I said, you’ve got to clean your floors. You’ve got to clean your floors. They have many, many years of leaves and broken trees. And they’re like, like so flammable... You’ve got to get rid of the debris. You’ve got to get rid of the fallen trees.”

Good idea Mr. President, next time you are in CA, you can do an 8-hour volunteer shift clean up on a 45-degree slope in 90 degree heat. You can even invite Ivanka and the rest to help.

And the boat took place of pride in a Trump flotilla, because of course it did.

I swear, the gullibility of these people is ridiculous. Lol

Yep, paying for college so your kid can be uneducated and brainwashed.
SMH...

And kids can figure out who is a bully very quickly. It shouldn't be surprising.
