No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

According to the general public? And if so, why do economic collapses happen so often under their administrations?

Can't answer that, but I can tell you that lemmy lets you edit post titles.

Some time prior to Nixon. He fucked things up bad and we're still feeling the multiplying effects.

Nixon actually had the highest GDP growth with 3.5%. Second was Reagan at 3.48%

From what I've seen republicans tend to ride the coattails of the person before them and *lay claim to what their predecessor accomplished. I don't know enough about that time period to say if that was the case then but it seems likely.

I’m happy to know that I’m not the only one who notices this. Democrats lay out a beautiful table with a wonderful meal for all, repubs come in and say “wow, look what I made!” And then proceed to have a food fight, after which a dem has to come in and clean it up. The one that I’m curious about is Carter leading into the 80s. Did he do things to set the economy up proper, or was it the result of a rubber band effect from the global economy being overall shit at the time.

Carter became president during the absolute height of stagflation & the Iranian Revolution and only had 4 years to fix it.

HE WAS FUCKED, no matter what. Unbelievably unlucky president.

Trump's 1st term was pretty much Reagan 2.0. If he's going to stay with that theme, this term will be Bush (Sr.) 2.0

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

He's aiming more for Hitler 2.0.

That's just the way a lot of economic policy works. A policy's effects are not be instantaneous, but may take months or years before they are noticable depending on what they are. This lag often results in the next presidency experiencing the economic policies that were implemented by the previous presidency(s).

George HW Bush was the last one to leave office while the economy was doing well. It was going fine at the end of George W Bush's first term, then the 2007 housing crash brought it down. Trump's first term ended with the covid lockdowns severely harming the state of things. So... 3 Republican presidencies ago, but that's a lot of years.

Eisenhower, probably
