What are your arguments here, that horrible fascists have done some good things too, so we should support horrible fascists when they are doing bad things?
Do you think that ALL the good things came from those horrible fascists?
Or do you think those good things would have happened, if we didn't have those horrible fascists?
Please explain your thinking on this.

Elon is/was pushing the limit of current technology ONLY on electric cars. His other projects are cool, but he keeps failing the goals he's setting. He's actually under-delivering compared to what the original scientists were achieving, but he is taking away their funding. The only thing he's good at is HYPING. That makes him look better than the scientists who were doing much better than he did, in SILENCE. The best example is his robots. They are incredibly humiliating, so humiliating that he replaced his robot dancers with humans in robot suits. Boston Dynamics wouldn't have needed to do that. Still, Elon acts like he's on the cutting edge of robotics, which is part of his HYPING in action.

Aks Grog this: "Can you do an analysis of the causes of the US having the lowest inflation in 4 years, right now?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChatGPT said this:

As of April 2025, the U.S. inflation rate has declined to 2.3%, marking the lowest level in four years. This reduction is notable, especially considering the elevated inflation rates experienced in recent years.
Factors Contributing to the Decline in Inflation

Several elements have played a role in bringing down inflation:

Federal Reserve Policies: The Federal Reserve's monetary policies, including interest rate adjustments, have been instrumental in controlling inflation.

Global Energy Prices: A strategic increase in oil production by Saudi Arabia, as part of the OPEC+ alliance, has led to lower global oil prices. This move aligns with efforts to stabilize the U.S. economy amidst trade tensions and has contributed to reduced energy costs domestically.

Consumer Behavior: Changes in consumer spending patterns and supply chain improvements have also helped in easing price pressures.

President Trump's Policies and Their Impact

President Trump's administration has implemented several policies aimed at influencing economic conditions:

Tariffs and Trade Policies: The administration has imposed significant tariffs on imports from countries like China, Mexico, and Canada, raising the effective tariff rate from 2.5% to 27% by April 2025. While intended to promote domestic manufacturing, these tariffs have led to increased costs for U.S. importers, which are often passed on to consumers, potentially exerting upward pressure on prices.

Energy Production Initiatives: Efforts to boost domestic oil and natural gas production aim to lower energy costs. While increased energy supply can help reduce inflation, the full impact of these initiatives may take time to materialize.

Fiscal Policies: Proposals to extend tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act have been discussed. While tax cuts can stimulate economic growth, they may also increase aggregate demand, potentially leading to higher inflation if not offset by spending cuts or other measures.

Conclusion

While the current administration's policies have influenced economic conditions, attributing the recent decline in inflation solely to President Trump may overlook other contributing factors and the potential for future fluctuations. It's essential to consider the broader economic context and the interplay of various policies and market responses when assessing such developments.

=============================================================

So if you only care about inflation, his energy production policies are helping.
However, his Tariffs and Trade Policies are toxic, and the only good about them is
that he temporarily halted them. If he continues, that will raise inflation again.

His fiscal policies will increase inflation, unless he offset them by spending cuts
or other measures. What does that mean? He will do tax-cuts for the wealthy and spending cuts for everyone else. Maybe inflation will be unaffected, but the spending cuts will put less money in the pockets of normal Americans, making them even poorer, and less able to buy groceries.
