I agree that “In the long run, we’re all dead,”
I’m still in denial
Incredible. This from Bessent:
Guys like Bessent know better but they say what supports Trump’s thinking and lose their credibility as a result.
please tell me this was a joke
This is the same guy who said it was unmanly to go grocery shopping with your wife.
personally I think it’s more manly to go grocery shopping for your wife
that was/is my dad’s main household job
Well, if you want it done right,…
in my household I’m just happy to have it done, mostly
now off to see if there are any jobs where I can build a robot named Harold
maybe I will name my next bit of code Harold
and then the one after that will be called hr_lady
someone tell the guy that lawyers are still probably 59% male
Nothing gayer than being round women all the time. In fact when I so much as glance at a woman I count the minutes till I can be rescued by a group of strong men.
He’s not saying it makes you gay, he’s saying it makes you a woman. It’s really a pro-trans argument if you think about it, although he also gets his panties in a bunch if you say okay, I guess I’m a woman,
It’s also worth noting that we are talking about someone whose dating game consists of letting air out of his employee’s tires so that he has an excuse to drive her home.
He is the Fox version of the Jimmys so yes, it is a satirical show.
Can’t stand self-hating women, or self-hating anyone for that matter.
It’s really offensive to use “girl math” as a pejorative.
Wondering WTF is “girl math”?
And “girl trade”?
“I am all-in on level tariffs with all nations,” she continued. “But I am not all-in on Peter Navarro and his reciprocal girl trade, girl math that’s kneecapping the United States, because the trade deficit is not a hallmark of all the cheating that goes on.”
Then she goes on to woman-splain Economics to the idiot:
McDowell explained, “And I go back to something he said last week, that ‘we have calculated the tariff rate required to eliminate the trade deficit.’ The United States issues the world’s reserve currency. You can’t eliminate the trade deficit.”
No worries, though: She’s gonna stop using that term, whatever it means:
McDowell has clearly soured similarly on Navarro, and concluded Monday on her show: “The quicker that they get him off of TV and away from numbers, the better. And I’m not going to call it girl math anymore, I’m going to call it Navarro math.”
No idea what it means but it sounds derogatory.
I don’t think this helps.
What she did was complex but had theoretical basis in fact.
Oh, wow, Google AI says:
“Girl math” is a TikTok trend and internet meme that playfully describes the mental gymnastics people use to justify spending habits, often with humorous and illogical reasoning, rather than actual math.
So, a real burn on Navarro.
Shit, got its own wiki page!
So, in reading this, it seems it depends on the attitude of the user of the phrase.
Some like to use it light-heartedly to rationalize their buying habits – but when people start believing it, that’s where things go south.
Others sneer when they say it, looking down on those that use the rationality and, well, all females.
And, after reading, the commentator on Fox is not even using it correctly.
Now, if she said, “Navarro maths like a girl,” well, we’d all understand what that means, and that’s pretty offensive.
Now, if she said, “Navarro maths like an athlete,” well, we’d all understand what that means, and that’s right on point.
