The bailout of soybean farmers during Trump’s first term cost taxpayers more than the entire State Department budget.

He didn’t give them a bailout this time, did he?

I think the 2018 bailout has continued.

Nah. They have already started cooking those numbers. I think the private sector ADP numbers and company earnings reports are better indicators of the market than Trump’s BLS numbers


They have not started cooking the numbers! Private sector cannot replicate the depth and breath of BLS and other statistical agencies. You don’t know what you’re talking about!

Are they going to be real?


Yes, they will be real. The acting head of BLS is all business and has been acting numerous times. If he quits, I would be concerned and question everything.

Drill, baby, drill!

They are not drilling. It's not 1980.

Genuine question though - they were already rising steeply before this year so what is driving it?


AI, crypto mining and data centers.

Which is why we need more renewable energy, and frankly the data centers and crypto mining should all be on 100% renewable/batteries anyhow. The average consumer should not be suffering for the high demand these places put on the grid.


Also, just simple population growth and the proliferation of electricity using things. There hasn't been enough new supply brought on, our distribution infrastructure is ancient, and some of the older generating facilities have been shut down.

AI, crypto and data centers play a huge role but they aren't the only problem. We all use more electricity today than we did in 1999 and our infrastructure and supply has not kept up. We need more solar but we also need more gas fired plants because battery technology is not ready and we don't have a distributed grid.


Wind is the most powerful of the renewables, but the truth is that we need ALL of it - wind, solar, nuclear, gas, etc.
