You're right. I also voiced my dissatisfaction over Biden's comments. I believe Israel should be held more to account by world powers and be called out with possible sanctions. And I like Joe Biden.

Political survival always breeds hypocrisy. A politician would say black is white if it wins votes, and would flip on a dime too. Drumptf just took it further than any American president ever did in my lifetime, and this is my eleventh. I so love the fact that barring a few, democracy lets the very bad ones get only one term.

Jackofall:

See how jealous you've made the haters.

I love how you just de ignore dem de go your own most handsome way.

As per the collapse, fingers crossed. The pandemic induced recession is new. I can't remember any gov dealing with such a scenario, not even in the last 50 years. If it indeed collapse as you have predicted, it would not be just the US alone. Alot of countries are mirroring the same policies. I can't tell which country started it first i.e. dole out money into the system to stimulate an economy from collapse.

Like I mentioned earlier. Fingers crossed.

A lot of countries are not mirroring the same policies because they haven't got the money for it. The Latin Americas I posted above is a case in point, and even Buhari's recent demand to the Senate to go borrow more money is a blip in what is required and which he can't borrow even if he wanted to.

I don't see a collapse in the US, and or UK, or China and the likes though. The inflation some think will bring it on is due to pent up demand and low supply due to low production due to lockdown. Take Ford, for instance. They can't produce cars so prices of those cars that are available will be inflated. Soon as supply ramps up, which is the logical response, a more balanced demand and supply will arise and price will find a new point to reflect it.

As was said, the stock market is no reflection of the economy. Prices seem high now and many would love to see them drop so they can buy, but I bet prices go much higher first before any lows.

FYI, that's my line of work for your information. It's the junk that the Republicons are throwing out that I am calling you out about. CPI is Consumer Pricing Index and that's not a sure indication of the stock market falling or tanking. That's my contention with you. My wife and I are heavily invested in the market for 20+ years and I am not going to let our retirement funds go haywire because of the fear of the unknown. In fact, the stock market is the best place to keep your money in the long run because you will come up ahead. It's better than I Bond, Treasury Bill's or Certificate of Deposits. So why are you throwing this falsehoods out knowing that it's false. If you have money in the market, you can pull your money out if you think the coming inflation will tank the stock market.

That's the keyword that's causing a divergence of opinion. Most people are talking of the day to day swings up and down and can not do long run that you do. If the market falls their life is ended, which is not the case with long runners.

PrideofLincoln1:
Good point. I don't know where he's getting that junk from. In fact, the stock market that Trump was telling people during the Presidential campaign that it will tank if Biden wins the presidency is performing well. This is a Bullish market here and millions of Americans that have their 401K in the Stock Market are very happy and here's Mr Ibime with his doom and gloom assessments. He's just following the Republicon garbage of trying to talk down the market but it ain't gonna work and that's why I asked him for a reference like you just did.

Thing is, you might be right. Along with inflation is the devaluation of the dollar that's been going on a while, which does inflate prices. If Tesla dropped 10% today, investors will pile in and it would likely overshoot and gain more than 10% tomorrow.

But as they say, when everyone and your hairdresser starts giving stock purchase advise, it's time to flee the market. Problem is everyone and your hairdresser has been given stock purchase advise for a while now.

Ibime:
Share prices won't rise with inflation. When inflation hits, monetary policy response is to raise interest rates, investors flee to bonds, commodities and other inflation hedges.

As I said, inflation in prices first, then the monetary response of interest rise that deflates prices and brings share prices crashing down.

There's an anomaly of the Fed buying assets to prop up prices, but inflation around the world is bound to act as a black swan that hits markets with painful force. See here how its already affecting Latin America.

Someone said this Senate would have suspended GSM mobile phones too, but I'm sure some would have been happy if they had or perhaps some just can't reason nor think.

What say ye intelligent Nigerian folks?

Apparently, he is the most handsome guy on Nairaland.

Unless you wanna compete with him of course, in which case, photo please.

Ibime:
Inflation about to rip through the stock markets and cause tremors due to the massive money printing and cheap credit of last year.

I mentioned few weeks ago, some got offended that it would happen during Bidens tenure. Well markets don't care whose tenure it is, they do what they need to do.

Inflation is when sellers up their prices because inputs have gone up in price. I've been trying to get a laptop with an RTX 3080 since the beginning of the year, and currently they reckon it might be available in July unless I'm willing to pay the inflated price of twice as much. They said February too, and March and May and June and I'm beginning to wonder its gonna be available the day orange turd drupmtf gets sworn in for his second term and we all know that's on a never never ever.

Expect share prices to inflate too along with commodities before it all comes tumbling down like the ponzi scheme it is.

Jeezuzpick:
Lol, no!

I'm more of a morning listener.

I hardly ever do BBC World during the day as I get it on telly 24/7, plus Aljazeera and RT and CNBC and Bloomberg.

BBC Radio 4 is my go to during the day as it does a lot of culture that interests me. I'm that person walking down the road with it in my ears if I'm not listening to a book.

thoollz:
Most people talking here are mostly adults with kids, now you're saying u were all in your living rooms growing up, bonding etc. The kids that we have these days won't bond unless they're told to do so. If their parents grew up bonding with their siblings while growing up, what changed? One thing I believe is most of the irregularities we see today are due to the parents we have these days. Most of them were trained but didn't adhere to such training.

Or they just forgot to train their own children in the way they were trained.

Jeezuzpick:
Wow!

Nice to see someone like me here.

I also grew up listening to BBC and VoA with my Dad.

We had TV, but I listened to the radio more.

Now I have an internet radio app on my phone and still listen to BBC.

Rest on, Dad. I miss you loads!

Bad you! Lol. I miss my dad too and often find myself having full blown conversations with him in my half sleep.

I do CSpan too these days, radio and not telly. Do you like listen all night like I do?

Ameboperoo:
You must be a grandparent by now

Don't tell anyone please or people here will find it difficult to be rude and disrespect me.

Mindshift:
I'm not telling you to give me a dime, if you can't pick the moral from the write up, you could pass. Please be sure to make proper findings before uttering any negative words. Thanks

I wish you luck.

Xbee007:
I already gave an hypothetical explanation as to why we wouldn't see the asteroid. It is inside a wormhole. Read more Einstein's theory of relativity, perhaps you will understand how this hypothetical asteroid homing on planet earth can transverse billions on kilometres in just a twinkle of an eye. The asteroid becomes visible only 24 hours until impact much to Elon Musk dismay.

You have not sinned at all. I too disbelief.

I love Star Trek a lot, and Einstein, is all I can say. They both speculate a lot and would love those who disbelieve, even in themselves, as the idea is that we consider the impossible as you have done here. This one is just too close to the rapture that many have been peddling since the beginning of consciousness, and I just happen to not be able to get over the thought that there might be as many billions of years ahead of us as there may have been in the past and up to now. I at least expect the date to one day be 23 May 3021, and 23 May 30021 even, if not 23 May 900,021 Anno Domino, which I also can consider. The only pity is I won't be around to confirm it sadly because I would have loved to have lived to see it confirmed.

Mindshift:
His page's name is Paul Elisha, you can check it out

And he told you to create a new monika and advertise for him here why if its not a ponzi scam?

Obrigardo:
Wether you like or not, every US president since JFK has been grabbed by the balls by Zionists. It's no secret. But trump was so corrupt in his own play that Jared used the opportunity to beef up his convicted father's biz and to armstring Qatar into giving him some sweet deals. trump and Jared never cared for Palestine or peace in the middle East. Biden is still held by the balls by these Zionists and I don't like it, but I won't see Biden using this to further his business interests like Criminal trump did.

And besides, see opposition from the Left.

Xbee007:
Well, say it is a giant asteroid the size of our sun approaching earth. We don't see it because it is inside a wormhole heading directly to planet earth. 24 hours to impact, it comes out of the wormhole and becomes visible for the first time.

Why would we not see "a giant asteroid the size of our sun approaching earth" when it is likely to affect our satellites and distort mobile communication and block out the sun for months if not years before it hits us? Are we going to become blind first or just very stupid and too ignorant to not note we would starve first when the sun does not grow our food?

Xbee007:
I like the fact that you mentioned settling scores with Kith and kin despite the fact that, hypothetically, no one is going to make it out alive in that scenario.

As I said, "if I had just 24 hours to live", as opposed to my own destiny becoming that of the 8 billion human beings on earth, some of whom already are preparing the International Space Station in advance of a home on the Moon or Mars in case the earth truly does come to an end.

The only good thing about that is I'd be very long dead by the time its needed or I might become a terrorist fighting the injustice of being left behind along with all the Africans who would not be admitted to Mars or the Moon too except perhaps the likes of Dangote who can afford it, which is very not fair.

I guess I am unable to suspend my disbelief to play along with your scenario. Forgive me please, the fault is all mine.

Don't mind me! I will go and pay bribe and be corrupt, then I will come on here and be calling Buhari cow as if it is not me that is the animal that is turning my country into a jungle!

Oh Lord the Gods Almighty, Please rebirth me into an angel or at least fill me with good doing spirits this Pentecostal Day. I, buda pray, Amen.

We, are Nigeria. If we Nigerians behave like animals our country will not so much be an organised zoo, it will be a disorganised jungle where animals eat each other; but if I behave like an angel my country will become a heaven.

Nobody can trust words from a newly created account.

And Paul Ajao-Ireoluwa's facebook page describes him as a content creator only.

First, as is my nature, I will disbelieve the world is ending in 24 hours because it just makes no sense.

I mean, is the moon or Mars about to collide with the earth, or the Sun about to run out of fuel? If so, we'd all surely have hundreds if not thousands of years warning already, which is long enough to prepare instead of waiting for the last 24 hours and then panicking like one who had their head stuck in the mud all along.

The closest I can think of is if I had just 24 hours to live, in which case, I'd settle my score with kith and kin and post my last thread on Nairaland announcing buda has 24 hours to live, though even that I'd doubt since I'm not likely to ever have to be facing a firing squad at a time that is set. And then shall I just die while life goes on as it does.

cheechee1:
Make i no lie, I no get mind to chook hand for bad thing as some of my friends have advised.

But you have lied! First you call your porrn a niche, which it clearly isn't, and do you seriously believe what you've chook your hand into is not a bad thing?

When a station calls you, is it not your youtube you use to show them what you do? And you seriously expect to be called back after seeing yours?

You are like one complaining you have fallen into a pit you yourself dug. Lift yourself first and then you yourself shall rise!

basilico:
I specifically meant democrats praise abortion with my body my choice
I strongly condemn what the guy did.

I was only confirming because you were not clear enough. Thanks.

basilico:
Democrats glorify such especially abortion. My body my choice.

Her body her choice, Basilico, when some other body slips an abortion pill in her drink?

It is Sunday, after church, but still the day you are somewhat honest and would see this as the murder of the content of her foetus that it is and definitely not "her body her choice" nor "such especially abortion", if you would reconsider pretty please.

"The ongoing custody battle between former Trump campaign operatives Jason Miller and A.J. Delgado has taken another nasty turn: In an explosive new court filing, Delgado's legal team alleges that Miller—prior to their own high-profile extramarital romance—carried out an affair with a woman he met at an Orlando strip club. Additionally, the court documents claim, when the woman found out she was pregnant, Miller surreptitiously dosed her with an abortion pill without her knowledge, leading, the woman claims, to the pregnancy's termination and nearly her death," Katherine Krueger reported.

Poor Leclerc got Monaco Pole yesterday but will start in pit after affair with the wall.

Update
Leclerc will not start at all!

Final Result
As is usual for Monaco, it was so exciting one eye slept right through after Bottas' wheelnut debacle, though I did hear the Ham whinning when things are not going his way. Good to wake up to Adrian Newey on the podium at the end.

No.
