Biden did a great job with the US Economy, especially when you consider all the partisan obstructionism he faced.
Too bad he’s not re-offering.

Not bad, considering DonOld and the RWCJ usual suspects screamed and wailed that the U.S. economy would totally collapse / implode when President Biden and Vice President Harris took office THEEE AND A HALF YEARS AGO - and considering that DonOld and the RWCJ usual suspects (along with Putin and corporate greedflation, etc) did everything in their power to sabotage things.
Thanks President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democratic Party leadership!!!

Amazon will be announcing quarterly results on Halloween night after the markets close.
Should be interesting, maybe a bit spooky.
One minority hedge fund sent a public letter to Amazon, accusing them of apostasy (failing to maximize shareholder value).
They specifically said that the retail prices charged at Amazon's Whole Foods acquisition are not "high enough" and the company should either raise prices at stores (!!!) or spin the unit off because Whole Foods are a drag on earnings.
Amazon has a bit of a market anomaly...their "Amazon Basics" product line (cheap Chinese knockoffs of popular stuff sold on Amazon like USB cables, batteries and kitchen stuff) are sold essentially "at cost" (i.e. no markup) solely to prevent certain companies (i.e. Walmart and Target) from increasing online market share in America. Amazon acknowledges this and Wall Street lowers earning expectations accordingly, they recognize this as a long-term "firewall" against competition.
Amazon "artificial intelligence" mega-investments lag fare behind those of Google and Apple (although I had a purchase issue with Amazon that had me interact with Rufus....Amazon's A.I. pseudo-AI chatbot that was resolved quickly and painlessly). Yes, I know that's anecdotal, but it's also my first positive experience with retail AI.

No, the reference clearly went over your head.
I find people who instantly yell stupid are simply a variation on Godwin...

Triple posting is a definite sign of dementia.

I think this is an example of somebody who doesn't have anything to say but isn't intelligent enough not to.

He did so good, there's nothing left to be done!
So you can plug anybody into the slot and they would do just fine, as long as,
they keep ignoring Musk and the million-man-math-method count of garbage pail kids who don't matter....

I posted the positive report from the Conference Board, then your dementia caused you to blitz the thread with lunacy.
