GDP grew 33.1 % in Q3 2020

That’s some good news! Never underestimate the value of the American spirit!

That nicely balances out the 2nd quarter drop of 31.7%

Yes, let’s make sure to congratulate the fireman that put out the fire that he set himself. Oh wait, I’m sure he will give himself lots of credit for this.

My mistake, it’s still behind.
1000-31.7%= 683
683+33.1%=909

Yeah, don’t let yourself be fooled into thinking a drop of X percent is off set by a rise in X%.

That’s not the the best financial news in my life: my buddy put a surprise $9,000 in my bank account last week. What an amazing friend!

I won’t mention that this is the same friend who stole $10,000 from me last March. That would be ungrateful.

Well, I’m not going to be all doom and gloom. It’s all rainbows and unicorns here!

Here too. And I live in Bucharest, Romania. :slight_smile:

Shot down again, eh?

It is good news that the economy has managed to recover as much as it has, in spite of all the issues that are facing it and all of us.

Hopefully, making up for the losses that we are still seeing will not take too long, and we can continue the growth in our economy that had been, starting in late 2009 and up until this year, the longest uninterrupted growth in the history of our country.

If only I could recall who laid the groundwork for that unprecedented growth cycle. Who was it that took a wreaked economy and saved us from another great depression? If only I could vote for those people to allow them the chance to save us again. Someone who could actually make America great again instead of just talking about it. The name is on the tip of my tongue, any help people?

I’m just Biden my time here until after the election.

Sounds like it’s about $179.99/carton.

Here, let me get a hit of whatever’s in that bong.

Looks like poison ivy and foxglove.

I guess the good news that Trump and his Trumpettes are on the way out has given business something to look forward to.

It’s a mixed bag.

There should be a better economic environment for businesses to grow and thrive.

However, it will be harder for businesses to abuse and exploit their employees. We may see some level of contraction in the stock market as shareholders get less profit taking.

But the part of the economy that matters, IMHO, being consumers having money to spend, should improve.

Given their level of mask usage, might want to be wary about sharing a bong with a MAGA dude.

If it were a cockroach, it would have sex.
