I have to wonder if you get out of bed on the wrong side not matter which option is taken? Every fuk'n comment is a 1/2 empty glass of Bud Light. Really, ignored you a while back but I was hoping for something not Trump trash or more piss ant bitch'n. Nope, "Still the Same"... same ole grind. If you need a band-aid or some grease for your wheels .... probably bitch about the color of the grease too.

{quote} Well, the data is something of a word salad in its complexity if the report is read in its entirety. Just to start with the obvious internal contradiction - "Economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in January for the first time in 12 months, preceded by 26 straight months of contraction". That is not possible.
It is if you are a Government Employee. (If you say it enough times anything is possible.)

I comment whatever the fuck i want, and you're welcome to not read it or ignore it. You're clearly doing a shit job at ignoring it, but that's on you.
I don't even know who you are or whatever you comment on, because i simply don't give a fuck about you or your comments.

Japan is run by idiots that happily destroy the work of a generation in rebuilding their country, the US is run by retard pedos that go bath in sewage water and happily destroy the worlds economy, worlds order and all the institutions it depends upon, and Europe is run by imbeciles that can't take any stance on anything or coordinate a bake sale.
I will try to adjust my happiness levels by inserting teddy bears into my posts.

Now run along and have a nice day.
Have a nice day.

Economic data from dictatorships can't be trusted, and Trump is a wannabe dictator. His supporters aren't democratic
