I've said something similar here - Trump is betting on growth, and if it hits, 2026 will be a banner year.

It will be great to see how the left will spin it as a bad thing.....

I would be happy if it did. I have a ton of investment in US shit and the market and it would be a win for me. I highly doubt its going to happen based on all the actions he is taking.

Do you follow the stock market?
The market is at all time highs so you must be thrilled.
Instead your complaining.
Don't be naive enough to not expect market ups and downs in the future.

I think it will.

Just figuring out best position to take to take advantage of it.

I am happy when it goes down, I buy. However, I would love for it to go higher, which of course it will. However, if the economy shits the bed and companies start posting bad quarters there could be stagnation.

No doubt you will locate someone left or left leaning to fulfill your forecast about them spinning economic growth as something bad. As you seek, so shall you find.

Economic growth with very little or no inflation would be excellent, IMO

[Dos Equis]

Then why is every black country or even neighborhood a shithole?

I don't know if that's true.  I doubt it.  But the ones that are bad likely have the same problems as any other s-hole place.

Poor upbringing.

Of course we do not yet know the details of his childhood, but do you suppose 22-year-old Tyler Robinson's horrendous murder of Charlie Kirk is a result of a poor upbringing?

[chaos]

again, just because plenty of people live in poverty and dont commit crime does not mean poverty increases crime rate. Poverty obviously increases crime rate.

Huh? Why would someone's financial status cause them to commit crime

[Necrosis]

Huh? Why would someone's financial status cause them to commit crime

struggle, mental health impact, desperation etc.. its a well known contributor. It's not even debatable

[Primemuscle]

It depends in part why they are impoverished. Also, this may depend on the crime itself. Some people living in poverty have lost all hope and believe they have nothing to lose by committing a crime, say of theft, for example. Also, some people who live in poverty choose to blame others and not themselves for their situation. This can lead to them believing the other folks causing their poverty, deserve whatever they get.

Sounds like an excuse to be a piece of shit. Money doesn't make someone a good person. You're downplaying the necessity of a father figure and discipline in the household.

[illuminati]

Nah.  There is nothing genetic about socio-economic status, crime, success, etc.  No person is going to succeed, commit crime, or fail because their ethnic background forces them to do so.  You can take any kid and plug him or her into a certain environment and largely predict what will happen with their life.  For example, a kid, regardless of race, from a two-parent household with educated parents, in a normal relationship, is unlikely to produce a child who turns out to be a thug.  Not every kid from a broken home is a thug, but the overwhelming majority of bad actors and poor performers come from similar socio-economic backgrounds, regardless of race or ethnicity.

Blacks - crime statistics over & over again show who are the trouble makers

In context, they prove my point.  Plus race-based statistics are pretty meaningless. 

Overall, if you're trying to say that any race or ethnic group has some genetic predisposition to crime then you have no scientific basis to prove that point.  It also doesn't address the actual root causes of crime, which starts in the home, regardless of race.

Not at all.

You are grossly simplifying the reality money, without it shelter, food aka the basic needs of life cannot truly be met. This precarity can cause a lot of strain of course.

Makes sense you are racist lol

[Humble Narcissist]

Really? Name one predominately black country that isn't a shithole. Better yet, do a thought experiment. Move all people from Haiti to Iceland and vice versa. Come back in a year and see who is thriving and who is dead.

So people with money don't commit crimes?

they do it bettter, and bigger,  with more law and shade on their side

It is often difficult to discern what is an excuse and what is not. Some people are just completely off their rockers with little or no control over their actions.
Sometimes, money makes bad people, like the Menendez brothers. https://listverse.com/2019/10/26/murders-committed-rich
A strong father figure does not hurt but it also does not always help. Tyler Robinson father Matthew likely has a very strong father figure. Possibly too much so. But then we don't really know much yet about Tyler Robinson or his family. All of them could be totally screwed up. This article tells very little about the Robinson family or its dynamic.
Most people want an explanation why they did it and who they are as a person when someone commits a brutal crime. Maybe it helps us distance ourselves from the perpetrator (I am nothing like the criminal). But there are rarely easy explanations as to why people do what they do.
