How excited are you right now?
I'm quite excited. I'm hoping the panicans overreact again and sell all of their stocks so I can buy them at a 30-40% discount. I got free cash and a shopping list. I'm betting on Trump.

Sure.
Wage growth went up during Trump's 1st term (average pay was up 9K). There are people I have seen complain about the tariffs in his first term and how prices sky rocketed. First they did not. Second they used washing machines for an example. The washing machines did not really go up, BUT some were adamant that they went up $100.
Tell any American that their wages went up $9000, but the washing machine went up $100.
This is what I am referring to. Unemployment will drop as businesses open their new plants...etc.
Also, Taxes will be lowered again. Another offset.
More people will be moved off welfare... thus helping our national expenses..
etc.

Which will take years and years to implement. It’s a very long process.

I’m not so confident in this.

Oncor, energy sector. They plan to add 3500 full time by 2030.

I agree. We continue to pretend we didn't do to our economy and dollar what we most certainly did in the name of Covid response.
And to be clear we know what administration printed that money, sent checks to people, made PPP loans to businesses and opened the SBA for business for rubber stamped loans.

They will get fired and replaced by a Trumpie
So you think that Democrat bureaucrats aren't fudging the numbers to try and make Trump look bad? Even though there are multiple examples of Democrats doing that very thing. But you do think that Trump is going to replace a Democrat to put in a Trumper that would cook the books? For you to even think that is projection on your part.
I don't care if someone is Democrat or Republican. I just want someone who has the integrity to do their job honestly, without being partisan.

Oncor maintains the system, transmission and ditribution facilities.
You're welcome.

Then they should show the math and why it is wrong. In less than a day he says the numbers are fake and they were done to make him look bad.
There is no way the research to disprove the numbers could have been done in one day. It’s a pattern. If you disagree with or criticize him, he attacks. Stop blaming everything on democrats. It’s a tired talking point and a weak argument.

They're probably just displacing all the Quanta companies that are currently doing the work.

Ain't no point in bringing facts to this board. These smooth-brained fricks will twist themselves in knots to defend whatever The Orange Cyst does.
It's truly amazing watching them try to gaslight us into believing prices aren't going through the roof and the reason is tariffs AND companies using tariffs to price gouge consumers.

The increase was almost exclusively Airline Rates. Take those out and it is almost 2%.

General question to the group:
Before Trump, did you expect that the economic correction would be painful, or did you predict that someone could fix our economy with no disruptions? Or were you in the camp that the economy did not need fixing?

I knew it would be painful. I also would have expected a comprehensive plan and not the haphazard methods we’ve seen to date.
Posted on 8/14/25 at 6:25 pm to VABuckeye
From my perspective it's not haphazard.

Not hardly. The contractors do 90% of the work. If Oncor loses the trained journeymen that the contractors provide, they'll be in a world of shite.
Folks want the late boomers and early Xers out of the way, well, its coming too.
North Texas is one the fastest growing areas in the country.
Power generation and distirbution will need to grow with it.
To be honest, 3500 new untrained employees won't cover the loses to that sector.
