    You said three things.

    Nothing has changed regarding Iran's uranium. Oil & gas prices are currently up 45% from 6 months ago. And an IPO on the NASDAQ.

    The only outlier regarding these matters from the last 100 years is the probable outcome of the elections this coming November. Which makes your post I am replying to feckless and laughable.

    One thing that is interesting about the american eonomy is that Trump often refer to the stock market as an indication to how the economy is doing, just like you just did. not saying its not an indicator, but definitely not telling the whole story.

    American Stock market has been extremely AI, Robotics, tech heavy over the last decade, and in 2026, ai/robotics have contributed about 0.5% of GDP growth, which is almost 25% percent of total growth.

    Although that definitely is an indication of the technical capabilities of america, its not a very comprehensive indication of the overall economy.

    AI, tech and robotics investments are great now, especially considering that it is creating jobs (high paying jobs) now and pushing local markets, the purpose of these investments IMO is to reduce labor, and the biggest downside is it does not consume in the traditional sense. Unlike traditional manufacturing, where an entire community/supply chain can be sustained.

    I agree with you that the rise in stocks and economy is creating A LOT of wealth, but it is extremely concentrated amongst a small number of people. If we look at the median disposable income vs inflation (CPI), you will see that disposable income when adjusted for by inflation has only grown by lest than 1% 2025-2026. But inflation has been around 3%. Think thats why majority of american households, especially medium to lower income house holds are finding it harder. The economy on paper is great and all, but when it comes to the average civilian, it may be a different story.

    Same thing here in nz, median income growth has been around 3% while inflation has been around 3% also, families feel like they worked their asses off and really not getting better. especially out meat and dairy has grown close to 7%.

    So i don't think you can simply claim that cause the stock market and GDP is growing, everyone should be 'stacking gainz'. American wealth gap is growing, 2026 vs 2024, top 1% wealth has grown by 1.2% of total american household net worth (approx 32%). Doesn't sound much of a growth, but thats trillions of dollars, most of which is coming out of the middle class. This is largely due to what you mentioned, ai, robotics, tech, stock etc.

    The US has always been since the late 1800s.

    All of them.

    The left pretends otherwise

    Same bs - always.

    Clinton bombed The balkans

    Obama destroyed Libya


    The whole Ukraine **** was prodded on by Biden’s SD

    The Iran thing is a vendetta.

    Trump wants the Iranian Uranium to prove Obama and Hilary are traitors. That’s my hot take on Iran

    Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE today. Innovation, scientific progress, commercialization of forward-thinking products. Musk is historic figure and has helped advance civilization. That cannot be disputed.

    I love the case of Antonio Gracias -- SpaceX's 2nd largest investor. He supported Obama and Hillaroid Clinton in the past -- and now with enhanced knowledge and life experience, is a hard core MAGA Republican -- helping to steer DOGE and supporting free market principles.

    This should provide hope to so many liberals today who may feel trapped by their past. You too can move over to the party of the future, the party of logic, and the party of uplifting the lives of people -- the Republican Party.


    GOOD DAY

    Stock market at all time highs, Iran conquered, businesses flourishing, oil price plummeting, American red state culture being LOVED by European visitors, freedom's 250th birthday being fully embraced by Americans. We are in the GOLDEN ERA.

    What did america accomplish is Iran in you view? (serious question). Would really like to hear your views on Trump/America's accomplishments over the last 3-4 month.

    Oil prices definitely down today no doubt, but for the last 3 month, the high prices I feel like was for nothing special. America speny hundreds of billions, the world suffered, I don't see the major victory that came with the investments, ROI is pretty bad IMO, not just for america, but for the world.
