We just mainly hear about their gestapo shooting Americans in the face, the child sex trafficking and fascist stuff but that’s good news about property taxes

It was 2.7 in December. But you are correct, we’ve been at 2.4 twice since Oct 2024 I think. I understand inflation, but if you are talking tariffs you have to look at the bigger picture. Unemployment is slightly down, wages are up. Gas prices are significant down. People have more money. You’re seeing business and investment coming into the US. It doesn’t change over night, but you’re seeing an improving economy. I think our economy will only strengthen in the next few years as a result of the influx of new investment and business interests from trumps changes, including the tariffs. While inflation increases prices, there is more money in the hands of the consumer. Add in there the big beautiful bill and tax changes, i was able to deduct up to 10k in property taxes, mortgage interest, that has been increased to 40k i believe. That’s a big deal to me and now I’m deducting 20-30k. Throw in the waste fraud and abuse and the funds recovered from that, I believe I’ll be receiving somewhere between $4000-$8000 this year in tariff stimulus/dividend checks. Pretty sure they’ll come out mid late summer prior to the mid terms, obviously strategic. General costs of many everyday good are down, but what is mainly hurting the economy is housing prices and mortgage rates. Rates are coming down but not nearly where they were pre COVID. there’s a lot of positives helping people have more money. What’s interesting here in Florida this year and voting in November, is that you may well see property taxes significantly reduced or even eliminated for permanent Florida residents, saving someone like me approx $8000 annually. said it may times here before, not sure what news you hear back home from here, but there are good things going on helping people right now.

Oh I don’t know. Some of the most bigoted cunts I have ever met were Hearts fans. Ones we had on train back from last home game were real cunts.

Retard said Queens Park rejected offer from French second division side already. Only seen him play once against Linlithgow in cup and he did score but don’t think he stood out as a player that could play at a higher level.

I don't really care, but I think that isn't correct. I don't even think 2.7% is the lowest since Trump got into office. However, inflation doesn't necessarily tie in with tariffs anyway. That would be dependent on the items in the basket of goods being imported from a tariffed country. It is entirely correct that tariffs are paid by the US consumer. The offset to that is not the trillions brought in by foreign trade, obviously. It would be the money spent within the US (US consumers buying US made goods) that was previously spent on imports. If I am in the US buying timber from France and it suddenly gets a 25% tariff, then I buy from the usually more expensive US supplier for example. France doesn't suddenly buy US timber too, because the price of French timber for French people doesn't incur the tariff. The direct effect of the tariff is a cost to the US consumer, the offset being a potential increase in tax take from the resulting sale in the US. Does that make sense (genuine question, I'm going through the logic in my own head!)?

Josh Fowler anyone Retard suggesting we are after him Eighteen goals in twenty two games this season

Maybe not quite the worst fanbase in Scottish football but certainly the most delusional.

Silver lining for them is they will get plenty of recovery time for virtually every league game between now and the end of the season.

The last time neither of the Old Firm won anything was in 1955. We won the league, Clyde won the Scottish Cup and Hearts won the League Cup.

Well, it would be bad for Scottish football if Hearts won everything.

I'm delighted the jambos are oot

Oh yeah I doubt anyone will refer to it as anything other than Hampden outside of the official coms.

Falkirk deserved that. They struggled initially, but worked at it and had a good second half. So that's the double off the table for Hearts now.

Let’s hope we’re not the next ‘favorite’ out. Win tomorrow and it’s been a nice weekend!

Seriously! Hampden is Hampden.

Penalty that was missed landed in Murrayfield

Falkirk through 5-4 Is that John McGlynn now cup tied

Jambos oot. Shame.

Bloody hell, it'll be midnight by the time they finish. Jambos just missed.

No matter which English bank is sponsoring the ground, it's just called Hampden. I don't see anyone referring to Wembley as "EE Wembley".

Penalties to settle this.

Aye they sold naming rights to them just before Christmas.

Barclays hampden??

Been a good game since half time.
