interesting fact

Don't you think that bankruptcies have more to do with Biden's economy? Bankruptcies don't just happen that quickly.


My investments are doing great and I am just happy as can be.

Here's an interesting tip, but I haven't tried it...

When you fill up your gas tank, use the lower latch instead of the upper one to make it pump slower. The fuel will have less froth and air in it, so you'll fit more in your tank. That gives you more time to wait for gas prices to drop, and can potentially improve your gas mileage!

In the first 23 weeks of 2025, U.S. bankruptcy courts have processed 243,661 filings, with an average of 10,594 weekly filings. This is a 9.3% increase compared to the 2024 weekly average of 9,687. The first half of 2025 is on track to be the busiest bankruptcy year since before the pandemic.



It appears that the MAGA pundits answer to my question of what they're doing is... pretend it doesn't exist.

Which is a great strategy if you can afford it! But this thread is really for the rest of us

The day after the election I called my financial advisor and agreed to move money into the sectors that did well under the 1st Trump term. And those that would benefit from further deregulation as well NOC.

I won't be surprised if stocks finish higher tomorrow. Having a leader with balls is never a bad thing.

Probably shutting stores in BLUE communities due to "peaceful protesting"


A company cannot survive but so much looting

Antithesis,
Further down in your story there's this;

"While the company is closing stores by the end of next year, it also announced plans to open around 30 new stores by the end of this year."

So a net of just over 30 underperforming stores will close, tell me what cities they're in and I'll bet there's other reasons behind the closures.

I'm down to one Whopper a month, during Biden I could have them whenever I wanted. I treated myself once a week. I miss the good old days of good food, NO WARS, citizen not being deported.

Kroger is closing more than 60 stores due to the struggling economy, losing almost $100 million in the first quarter of 2025...


It's never a good sign when grocery stores are closing! If people can't afford food...

What are you doing to prepare yourself for a second round of inflation and a collapsing economy?

I tried planting potatoes. They flowered, then just... disappeared! I dug up the soil and there wasn't anything in there at all! Even the seed potatoes were gone

I moved a portion of my retirement portfolio to ForEx and a hedge fund that counters the Dow.

And I'm holding off on any new big purchases... I could use a new car, but hopefully this one will survive another 6 years.
