Such small minded thinking from a little man. Being on the cover of Time is yuge! He went up 15 Billion minimum. At the next thank you stop, bring your copy and he will sign it for you.. for $500, which also includes 1 selfie with the Trump, and if your lucky and took a breath mint ahead of time, you might get a kiss whether you want it or not.

At least it wasn't orange juice or something, though. I was hoping you didn't have any OJ that morning. OJ is so acidic it burns the nostrils too.

Clearly you delude yourself into thinking this is true. But it's obviously a fictitious statement to us in the real world. My opinions are based on my education and experience. Where did you get your MBA? Your Phd? What companies have you advised? Have you ever sat in a Board meeting? Have you ever had to make the difficult decision to close a plant to save jobs at another plant? Without any of that, how did you arrive at your opinions if not by being showered with sounds from the echo chamber? You think I "talk out of my ass" only because you don't know better, get your information from liberal echo chambers, and reject how the world actually works.

It most definitely, clearly is. Hotel revenues are, without question, driven by supply and demand. If you can convince me how Trump is actually going to gouge people at his Maro Lago hotel as a result of being POTUS, then maybe you're argument gets interesting. But you should drop this, because it's an ignorant argument. You're just regurgitating VOX and it's completely disconnected from how the world actually works.

Actually, my statements on this come from education and experience. From being an accountant for a corporation, from being an accountant for government, from understanding how the policies of one can affect the other because I have a background in both corporate and government finance as well as public policy and administration. I have never read an article on Vox, I purposely avoid just about all media sources. I read government reports. When I want information on polling I look at the polls, not the media interpretation because I actually understand them. You are correct, though, hotel revenues are generated by supply and demand. But please, explain to me how public policy can in no way impact the demand side using monetary policy. Explain to me how the net gain can in no way be influenced by monetary policy even further and how regulations in no way impact gains. You may know business, but I know business and public policy. That's where my education and experience lie. Business doesn't operate in a vacuum that makes it untouched from the influence of the government. I mean, tell me how Trump being able to appoint a member of a commission tasked with handling labor disputes in no way can affect his own pocket when he has been dragged before them twice, soon to be thrice. This is also why businesses have trade organizatiins and the Chamber of Commerce, and why they spend money on lobbyists. It's because public policy affects their income. Yeah, I'm the one that doesn't understand how the real world works. You should do stand-up.

Not sure what the question is, non-economic liberal rant aside. RE: Presidential Conflicts of Interest - Belsnickel - 12-11-2016 (12-11-2016, 05:26 AM)JustWinBaby Wrote: Thank you. Not sure what the question is, non-economic liberal rant aside. You mean the rant about how government works? Yeah, stay in your vacuum of theory, I will be over here in the real world. What I said had no slant left or right, it is just how the world works. You might have been better off to add some poli sci to your education, this is stuff you can learn in a gen ed level in the field. But I forgot, the idea of a liberal arts education is pointless to you and the things you would learn wouldn't really apply to you. Yeah, I am done with your faux intellectualism. If you truly have an advanced degree but don't understand the very simple concept I am discussing then there is no help for you. RE: Presidential Conflicts of Interest - GMDino - 12-13-2016 PE Trump tweeted his plans rather than have a press conference. The boys (and executives) will run his empire and make no new deals while he is POTUS. He will not meet with the press about it until after the inauguration. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/12/12/trump-postpones-announcement-on-how-he-will-avoid-conflicts-of-interests/?utm_term=.1deccf59a7f4 So nothing to see here...no questions to be asked...move along...

Yeah, stay in your vacuum of theory, No, actually it was about how government was going to change basic economic fundamentals. And nothing your rant, nor anything else you've posted, changes that. Trump may be a greedy asshole, but you've still not presented a remotely convincing argument of how and why he's going to profit personally as POTUS, even without ignoring the ROI of what he could do without running to win election. Maybe when you get an advanced degree worth a shit from a place worth a shit then we can dispatch with the faux intellectualism and engage in honest debate. Unfortunately studying Japanese art and German literature isn't going to help you discuss finance, economics and fiscal policy. I happen to know the liberal arts part of my degree was a worthless waste.

I happen to know the liberal arts part of my degree was a worthless waste. I dunno, JWB. I got a degree in music from a liberal arts college and have worked in a field where finance and economics are key for 20+ years. I do market analyses, highest and best use analyses, discounted cash flow analyses, etc. on a daily basis. The liberal arts degree has helped me in a lot of ways: Mostly indirectly , but sometimes directly. A degree in accounting and/or economics definitely would have helped me as well, no doubt. But I can't say for sure that it would have been better (in college, I could not have even imagined I'd end up in this field or anything related to it). That said, I do wish that I had taken more courses on statistics in college. ![]() RE: Presidential Conflicts of Interest - Belsnickel - 12-18-2016 (12-18-2016, 06:34 AM)JustWinBaby Wrote: No, actually it was about how government was going to change basic economic fundamentals.

I had a longer response here, but, I decided since you can't seem to respond without straw man and/or personal attacks (among other fallacies) there is no point. It's like I am playing chess against a pigeon. Frohe Weihnachten.
