[Old Yeller]

King O’Biden is fixing to make more decrees.

[MtnClimber]

Omicron!!! It is the OMICRON!!!! Be afraid, AFRAID!!!

When in danger.

or in doubt.

Run in circles.

Scream and shout.

[John W]

There are also reports he’s about to surrender to COVID. We shall see.

[Pontiac]

I am not worried at all about Omicron.

I am deathly afraid of governments response to Omicron.

Everyone knew for weeks that BBB was DOA. But the Statists at Goldman Sachs decided to downgrade the “GDP” estimate as a result, and everyone is freaking out. Like its bad for the government to cancel $2 trillion of deficit spending during runaway inflation! Insane world enters another year.

[hinckley buzzard]

Futures down triple digits— Dow down 368, Nasdaq down 198.

[Trumpet 1]

The BBB bill is simply more Gov. Spending to achieve just about nothing. Short term sugar rush. For the nation’s economic growth the BBB should disappear.

[EBH]

Ditto.

The government response to omicron will determine if the world economy fully collapses.

This will then bring in the Great Age of the 4 Industrial Revolution.

I saw a timeline for events...the first 6 months of 2022 are going to be wild, simply wild globally.

Goldman Sachs cutting its U.S. growth forecast, citing Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin’s assertion that he won’t back President Joe Biden’s key $2 trillion spending bill.

The corporate cronies trying to make it sound as if failure of BBB is going to hurt America.

If we lived in a world where truth reigned supreme, the DJIA would be soaring today.

interesting that hospitalizations in SAfrica seem to be rolling over despite case increase.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

What do you mean??? Build Back Bullsh#t isn’t working??? How can that be???

[V_TWIN]

“King O’Biden is fixing to make more decrees”

Yep and it’ll be punishment for that abomination of a bill that Manchin killed.

[frogjerk]

Think about this - I this BBB gets passed and the Gov locks down businesses where in the world would the money come from? This BBB is all pork. I know it is all funny money but you just can keep on printing money forever.

[SaveFerris]

[I am deathly afraid of governments response to Omicron.]

Yeah, like Joe forcing more people out of work.

[HighSierra5]

Byedone should disappear as well.

[HighSierra5]

Build backwards better.

[baclava]

I’m stocked up on ammo and TP, let it rain doomm

[EBH]

It is to convert to the digital currency. Collapse world economies and connect everything/everyone to the internet of bodies.
