They believe interest rates will go up because inflation is still out of control.

He cherry picked the market because it dropped. If he wants to use that as gauge, then why did it go up on the last report? No one here wants to use the same gauge month to month.

Don't remember last month, but the articles - and specifically the one you posted - made the correlation to the stock market that you are claiming is unfair.

Stocks got clobbered after the report was released, as investors feared another big rate hike by the Federal Reserve on Sept. 21 to tame rising consumer prices.

And while investors may be wrong, IME media reporting on investor sentiment is usually accurate.

What I am claiming is unfair is using the stock market when it fits your narrative like @zh cohen did. I still have not heard if he wants to use that as a goalpost. I wonder why, NOT!!!

Inflation drops to 8.3% and for the month was up 0.1%. If this two-month trend continues inflation will be no issue.

What other crimes do you think the president should be able to unilaterally overrule?

Maybe conspiring with a foreign country to influence our elections? 

[yuneeq]

What other crimes do you think the president should be able to unilaterally overrule?

Any other victimless, harmless activity that shouldn’t have been criminalized in the first place.

He CAN LITERALLY pardon ALL OF THEM.

So... Silly question.

That needs to be changed!

True, but using the pardon power to bypass the process and essentially change the law is wrong. It completely upends the way the system is supposed to work.

Who decides what "shouldn't have been criminalized"? That used to be the job of Congress.

I will also note that the vast majority of those convicted on possession charges were originally charged with other (more severe) offences and pled down. That's the problem with changing the rules retroactively.

That’s just like my opinion, man. You did ask for it.

I don’t think that is how pardons where intended to be used and not sure if legally it can be done that way.
