Did I make the right choice to snag a discounted open box PS5 pro before the tariffs/bullshit started? What do you guys think?
I’m on it for GTAVI. And assumed things would be very different by the time it launches.

There are certainly great games and exclusives for it, and I tend to prefer PS over Xbox games. I highly doubt you'll regret having it.
Cyberpunk runs great on it, and the new Indiana Jones game is really awesome, with uncanny voice acting.
Web page gave my phone herpes. Here’s a clean link: https://archive.is/wip/aNQ5a
Nah fam this was/is/will be Biden's economy. Unless it becomes good, then it's Trump's economy

Let's ignore the obvious for months, then act shocked that the obvious was happening all along.
Not much of an article.
LOL... "starting"?? "STARTING"??? Jesus christ.
About 2 hours into the news coverage on Septembre 11 2000 give or take a year is about when mine hit full volume.
Ikr? It’s a fucking disco in here and the media is just now noticing we might be at a club.
An article about a talk show appearance.
Exactly, Rawstory is basically the left wing version of Fox News, telling you what you want to hear instead of actual news. My basic takeaway from his statements is that the GDp is still growing just not quite as fast as it was last year.
I’m not an economist so I don’t know but the the S&P is also nearing in on a record highs again and it seems like most of the turmoil in the markets that we saw at the beginning of April is gone for now. I thought the Iran bombing would spook the market but not really. I know the markets aren’t the economy but it’s a bellwether for how the oligarchs and corporations are feeling about it.
The GDP is still growing, just not quite as fast as it was last year
In the way that our entire economy is based on measuring itself, not growing as fast as last year is considered complete failure
the turmoil in the markets is gone for now
The stock market =/= the health of the economy. Obviously the market being bad is not good, but the market being good does not mean things arent bad
The stock market =/= the health of the economy.
I know, I said as much in my post just a sentence or two after the quote of mine that you used.
Tomorrow there'll be a talk show appearance about the article.
This is why I have issues taking rawstory seriously.
A story about a story, but not examining the journalism, just ... a story about a story.
A link supposedly to watch the story that is actually just a link to the page you're already reading.
The included clip is to youtube, not MSNBC, and it's not even to the official MSNBC youtube channel which absolutely does have this same piece posted.
Looks like someone un-muted their alarm system. Mine's been going off for months.
Mine's been blaring since 2016.
I'll be honest, I did mute mine for a bit in the early Biden admin.
It's been on full blast since he dropped the announcement of the first set of tariffs.
The alarm and the radio had separate volume knobs.
