Fed Interest rates - Having studied the past several Major recessions (dotcom bust - Mar 2000 - Oct 2002, and 2008 GFC included), this is what I found. When the Fed started cutting Interest rates (and kept it going) it signaled the start of a Major... — read more

Layoffs.com has major TDS
Do you notice that any pro TRUMP post eventually gets deleted? For example, why did they delete the reply to the TDS post regarding the economic numbers? I don't really care to much, but I enjoy pointing these things out.
