"Are you from ABC? As they are a fake News network." The audience reaction tells a lot.

Was it mainly democrats, Republicans or mixed? Given the news outlet, then I would say it was probably a mixed/Democrats crowd given that the news corporations over their like to fill their crowds in these events with a left sided audience.. just like the BBC did with question time when Farage was on a month ago.

BBC Question Time has been a farce for a long time, but the mix of the audience is always a representation of the way people voted at the previous General Election by percentage. That's why for a long time the Tories got an easy ride.

Oldie, I thought you were saying that the US economy was booming under Biden?
"Shares on Wall Street and in London have fallen heavily amid a global stock market rout triggered by fears of a recession in the US. The tech-focused Nasdaq index dropped by 6% as trading in New York opened on Monday, while the broader S&P 500 index dropped 4.2% in a sell-off sparked by weak US jobs data. The Dow Jones industrial average lost more than 1,100 points, a 2.8% decline. Japanâs benchmark stock index, the Nikkei 225, suffered its biggest fall for nearly four decades on Monday. It dropped by 12%, the biggest single-day drop since the Black Monday crash of 1987. Other stock indices around the world dropped as investors dumped riskier assets. South Koreaâs Kospi fell by 9%, Germanyâs Dax was down 2%, and share indices in Australia, Hong Kong and China also dropped heavily. Londonâs FTSE 100 fell by 2.7% to 7,951 points, on track for its lowest close since April. Investors are concerned that the Federal Reserve may have left it too late to try to support the worldâs biggest economy. A US recession would hurt economies around the world. A much-anticipated report on Friday showed the US economy added just 114,000 jobs last month, well down from June and far fewer than expected, while the jobless rate rose to the highest level since October 2021. Weak factory data last week also added to concern about a recession less than 100 days from the US presidential election.
The investment bank Goldman Sachs said in a note to clients that the chances of a US recession had risen from 15% to 25%. However, its economists, led by Jan Hatzius, said that âwe continue to see recession risk as limitedâ because there are no major financial imbalances. Nevertheless, investors bought up assets perceived as safer. The yield on 10-year US bonds fell 10 basis points to 3.68%, the lowest since June 2023, as prices for government bonds around the world jumped. Jim Reid, the global head of macro research at Deutsche Bank, said there had been âastonishing movesâ in share prices, and âmarkets are melting down in Asiaâ. âMarkets were on edge before Friday but a weak payrolls has really escalated a profound move across the globe,â he added. However, he said the US jobs numbers may have been affected by Hurricane Beryl, and that the dramatic market moves could have been exacerbated by volatility in August, with many investors on holiday. âItâs like the market has added up two plus two and made nine,â he said. Austan Goolsbee, president of the Chicago Fed, one of 12 banks that make up the US Federal Reserve, told CNBC that the US economy does not appear to be entering recession, even though Fridayâs jobs data was worse than expected. Yet investors did not appear to take that message to heart. The Vix index, Wall Streetâs âfear gaugeâ, surged to its highest level since the coronavirus pandemic. The index, a measure of stock market volatility, rose as high as 65 points, before dropping back to an 80% gain for the day."

Sums you up really doesn't it. Just a glib response from you. Nothing changes.

Not quite Nobby I am laughing at you. Some weeks ago, when I quoted the growth in "non farms payroll", you asked "what are non farms payroll?" and I had to explain it to you. Now you are quoting the figures with some glee as you try to exploit the numbers because they have not grown at the same level as previously. Not GROWN. But you miss, again, the bigger underlying picture. It appears we may experiencing another bursting of a tech bubble. Investors are now asking, after a couple of years of multi $billion expenditure, when AI will deliver a monetised product. Shares across the tech sector have bombed over the last week. But you carry on copy and pasting what you don't understand.

I think I have some knowledge of what is happening, and it ain't about your claim of AI. Shares have bombed across all sectors. The main fear is that the US is heading for a recession. No, I had no idea what US Non Farms Payroll was, nor I expect, does anyone else on this forum. I am not "quoting with glee" anything, just printing an article that shows the US economy is not booming under Biden as you have claimed. Why are you laughing at me? Is it a nervous laugh as your claims have been proven to be totally wrong?
