The commerce secretary doesn't believe the numbers from her own agency because Trump used them.

Why would the commerce sec. know anything about... Commerce?
So, Trump’s energy policies had nothing to do with that? (Both foreign and domestic policies, btw)
Biden SHUT DOWN a MAJOR pipeline that was being built as soon as he got into office…Fucked with leases on Federal Land… Fucked with the Industry…
And you seem to think the difference in these policies DOESN’T or DIDN’T matter?
You think Trump’s policies in the ME didn’t affect all of this?
NOT having any “new wars” does/doesn’t/didn’t affect energy prices?
Oh, ok. Now I see how some of us can find Kamala as a viable “candidate”.
Saw her in an interview from one of the mainstream-media channels and she came across as a typical Biden Cabinet Kook…she didn’t believe it because he said it…then…It was pointed it that it came form her own people…
She wasn’t “familiar” with it…?!
You Can Not Make This Shit Up…because, people like AKW prove it’s laughingly happening right in front of us.

No he did help lower prices over his whole 4 years. But the photos of the $.97 gas from summer of 20 were because nobody was driving, not because he waved his magic wand and made them that cheap.
Hey I drive 1k miles a week and pay for my fuel so I want cheap gas. Just pointing out that both sides try to claim they did things that had very little to do with them.
And gets even worse... they released the information to some brokers/agents before the rest of the public. This administration is a grand display of incompetence.

As it turns out, at least some people had more luck than us in reaching said department (we repeatedly got voicemail with the promise that someone would get back to us in 24-48 hours), because as Bloomberg reports, "at least three banks managed to obtain key payroll numbers Wednesday while the rest of Wall Street was kept waiting for a half-hour by a government delay that whipsawed markets and sowed confusion on trading desks."
That's right: while the rest of the world was freaking out, paralyzed by the gross incompetence of the Biden Department of Labor (which, as a reminder, was merely informing us of just how incompetent it truly was by overestimating nearly 1 million jobs in 2024), banks such as Mizuho, BNP Paribas and Nomura all called into the phone number listed above... and got the answer, by some absolute BLS moron who was not aware that they are leaking material, non-public information to extremely sophisticated investors while the rest of the world was stuck in the dark courtesy of, well, other absolute BLS moron who had days if not weeks to prepare today's report and yet still couldn't get it out on time... or even 30 minutes after time.
And then, frustration turned to anger and outrage on Wall Street as word spread from trading desk to trading desk that the BLS was releasing the number to some firms over the phone!
I am akin to your mileage/gas price dilemma. Do you use Gas Buddy?
Honest question, as the self proclaimed know it all of non-moto – who clearly has a solution for every problem America is facing – why do you spend so much time bitching about everything to the same 6 Lennies that agree with you (30,000 posts and counting) instead of getting out there and enacting any real change?
No but I do track all my fuel through the Fuelly app and do rewards with the two most common gas stations which helps.
Also when Don got in office and made it so I can’t write off any unreimbursed employee expenses it totally effed me. It’s a minimum $10k difference in take home pay for me and he’s promising to keep his most excellent tax laws going if he comes back. This also affects people like teachers and mechanics. Thanks Don.
In cases where reimbursement went away, we simply bought the necessary product thru our company cards (Gas-Hardware-etc) and made those purchases as direct costs/unburdened the contractor.
No company card here unfortunately.
No matter what they do that might be bad, at least they’ve crossed the low bar of not nominating a convicted felon, civilly liable rapist for President!
Oddly…
You seem to think I’m not involved in anything..?
Oh, OK.
Btw, my post count…it dates back to…when…what YEAR…?
I’ve done all sorts of things around here on the Moto side from race reports, shootouts, new model debuts to posting on occurred on/in other media…like riding shows on ESPN/ABC/CBS/NBC/YT…Rip to Cabo…etc.
All the while, what do you do…what have you done…to contribute to ANY ASPECT of this?
Asking for my friends…with intellect and forethought.
“Self-proclaimed Know It All”…? WOW! Did YOU actually call ME that? 🤣
Insert my usual sig…HERE
Ah, yes, the Manhattan Courts…yup…that’s all “you”, buddy!
I never said I didn't think you were involved in anything, and all those things sound awesome to be a part of (I've been very involved in the moto scene throughout my career as well), but you conveniently avoided answering my question in regards to how you have so much time to constantly criticize the state of America and me wondering what you've actually done to change anything outside of posting on this board. So, I ask again, outside of posting on this board what have you done to fix all the problems you see in America?
I honestly haven't watched a second of the the DNC thing (I didn't watch a second of the RNC thing either)...I have WAY better things to do than get involved in that staged WWE non-sense...but Akillerwombat...what policies ARE they discussing and talking about at that convention? I'd honestly like to know what policies Harris is running on...I see so many of her adds on YouTube every day...and EVERY SINGLE ONE has been about Trump...I legit have no clue what her positions are? (I heard about the price fixing...which is communism 101...I heard about supporting abortion/fixing row v. wade...which is murder...Anything else?)
Gotta love the antagonists who routinely come here.
As usual, ass chapped because we're conversing outside of their ideological envelope.
Then when ignored, while the conversation continues right past them, resort to whining about the post count of others.
Pretty pathetic way to attempt shoehorning your way in.
Almost as funny as the politicians the past few nights, whining about Trump whining.
Pit Row
The DDS in this place is epic.
There’s a distinct difference between criticizing an administration and criticizing the United States.
How do you know he's not doing anything? It may not be anything that's important to you but how do you know he's not doing anything that enacts change? For all you know he could be doing a lot of things and this. Some people chew gum and walk at the same time, and some people choose to chew gum then walk. Either way, posting here is not a indicator that nothing else is done.
TM
Oh for sure, but Green is criticizing how the administration is handling issues that a prevalent across all administrations which makes them United States issues... so my question still holds up, what is he doing outside of posting here to fix them? He's clearly got enough time to enact some sort of change (as evident by the amount of time it takes to post 30,000 times), yet he's avoiding answering the question as what he's actually done.
Using myself as an example, I had issues with the lack of trees in the neighborhood I lived in so I got the city to plant them and I spent 2 years watering them by hand to insure they would take, I had issues with how poor the bike transportation structure was so I spent a few years advocating for, establishing, and maintaining new bike routes, the homeless problem I've done all sorts of work with, etc.
It's hard exhausting work to be the change you want to see but talk is cheap and Green sure as shit does a lot of talking.
"I haven't watch the DNC and I haven't googled her policies so I have no idea what their policies are." No shit you don't know what she's running on. Do some research.
RE: Price Fixing, Government does it all the time and no one screams communism.
RE: Abortion being murder, you're a Christian guy, right? And you believe in the death penalty for sinners, yeah? Well, aren't kids the original sin?
Funny, when I gave reasons i will vote for Trump and asked yours on Harris you gave me "you've stated before", so maybe he stated before and doesn't have to give them again. Sorry if that answer was good for you then your not entitled to an answer from him
Actually...here's what you DID say...
"Honest question, as the self proclaimed know it all of non-moto – who clearly has a solution for every problem America is facing – why do you spend so much time bitching about everything to the same 6 Lennies that agree with you (30,000 posts and counting) instead of getting out there and enacting any real change?"
1. "...as the self proclaimed know it all of non-moto" - Where & when did I say this? Again, you calim to be "nice"...uh, Passive Agro...anyone? 🤣
2. "...who clearly has a solution for every problem America is facing" - Come again? (See above...same question) Again...Passive Agro...anyone? 🤣
3. "...why do you spend so much time bitching about everything to the same 6 Lennies that agree with you (30,000 posts and counting) instead of getting out there and enacting any real change?" - The implication being that I'm on here all day and not doing anything...or...that you ARE doing something about while others are not? Really? Passive Agro...anyone? 🤣
I am just a civilian, yet, I've been privileged to see the under belly of some very scary shit in some far away places. I've seen REAL War Fighters do their thing...live...and at times made my own contributions to make thier weapons systems, comm's systems, data systems and intel-gathering...better...in-situ...if you will...that's something I feel pretty good about. You?
Locally in California...me, my family and some of the eeps from our company are involved in things like land use, drug rehabilitation & transitional housing and other local issues. There's also corporate involvement in things like childfund/feedthecildren/nokidhungry (we've got someone in the office that is ON TOP of all that...champions all that...makes us better for it...kids are the start of...the start to the solution).
Then there's your point of... "...(30,000 posts and counting) instead of getting out there and enacting any real change?" - Which has now been thoroughly explained...no? How many years have I been here..? Kinda makes you the Noob, no?
So, tell us about your Been There, Done That moments...again...? Where have you been? What have you witnessed...participated in...what were your contributions...? What burdens do you carry such that...you've gone here...you've seen fit to call me out...?
You calling me out, after-all, is what we're discussing...isn't it?
As for when and how often I post...? Really..? 3 offices w/desk tops, my mac-book, iPad, phone and other miscellaneous opportunities to post...often while in transit...or waiting on data from a test...or doing the morning email-coffee thing...as of late...thanks to United...while traveling...recently got to monitor the web from a really bitchin' yet fugly 135 (707) while blazing over the Nevada Dez at REALLY, REALLY low FLs...how about you...ever done that? Been doin' it since I was younger...younger than you.
Here's a solution I do have...how about you answer a few Q's...
Answer ANYTHING I've asked...like...previously asked...
Command Sargeant Major Walz(???)...was a recent question...as in...
WAS HE? EVER? Here's the thing, I've worked beside a Command Sargeant Major (CSM) that was part of an operational command...those peeps don't fucking even JOKE about their service or their station and they SURE AS FUCK DON'T LIE ABOUT IT! ....it's a VERY Serious Command Level Post that is filled by capable people that have a lot of lettuce on their uniform...so, I'll ask...again...
Command Sargeant Major Walz?
(Btw, bring this up with and actual CSM...sometime...especially one wearing actual FUCKING WAR RIBBONS)
What has Kamala Done...AT ALL...? Other than Fuck Up..San Francisco...California (She was a Porp 47 Pimp)...etc...etc...etc...
You see, guys like you love to tell us what a liar The Donald is while you hide behind absolute POS's like these 2...or Joe...or last night's hero in the blue dress...Clinton.
Better, yet, guys like you like to call others out about "their" contributions which REALLY tells us so damn much about yours...
Signed,
Just Another Proud Fucking Civilian
Edit: btw...posted from my FarNorCal desk top while earlier posts were from I-pad and I-phone...later, today, I'll read and possibly even post from seat 4D on an Embraer ERJ175. I'm jus' sayin'...
"lowercase CAPS emoticon WALZ rEaL WaR ASSUMPTIONS ellipses ellipses ellipses BOLD proud YEAH BUT YOU YOU YOU civilian NOOB emoticon"
Holy word vomit, dude.
Well, giving him answers is fun...you can actually see the steam. 🤣
He flexes from a position that's both interesting and entertaining.
My favorite...? His ageist stupidity where he calls me "Grand Pa" or "Old Man" or whatever...it's quite flattering.
The other day I was out in the Nevada Dez & I was the oldest dude in the room and the only civi...a fairly young accomplished woman...in her 30s...that is a comm's specialist/mission commander actually asked me how old I was...I told her...she smiled...replied with "Nice!" and hi-5'd me. Sat me down next to her command console & explained the mission parameters to me...it's nice to be the old guy. It really is. People are nicer when you're the old guy and they seem to be stoked that you're "still in it". 🙂
Last Friday, we raced Vegas to Reno...again...and cleaned up in the O-60 Class...it's pretty damn cool...the way the younger folks treat you when you're the old guy "that still races". 😂
Great answer.
Now, go get a #2 pencil, make some notes, put the Red Bull down...and try to answer things like an adult.
I'll check back in on you later, young-man, Grand Pa's gotta go have lunch with some grown ups...maybe have a glass of Reposado with friends there-after...we're gonna talk about grown up stuff like a land trust and trading some real estate holdings. You stay you, little man.
Manny
Mr. Know-It-All? Manny? Finally, the man behind Dirt Rider is solved!
The point is that all anyone on the DNC talks about is "trump bad"...that's it! And that's the problem...if they'd talk more about why their policies are so great, and why they are better than Trumps policies...and less about trump being evil...nobody would have to google their policies because that's what I'd see on every video on YouTube (rather than "Trump bad")...the problem is that they aren't running on their policies...and that's why its a perfectly valid question to ask what their policies are...this is the first time in my lifetime when the entire position of one political party isn't policy based, but .
Kids the original sin? Tell me you know nothing about Christianity without telling me you know nothing about Christianity...no, kids aren't the original sin. And are you now trying to equate the death penalty (for the absolute worst in our society) with killing innocent babies...good grief...You saying crap like that is why trying to have an adult conversation with you is pointless.
