Subject: AMERICA'S CLOSING ARGUMENT AGAINST DONALD J. TRUMP
Dear Alabama lawyers,
I am drafting an "AMERICA'S CLOSING ARGUMENT AGAINST DONALD J. TRUMP" at https://trumptweet.blogspot.com/2024/10/americas-closing-argument-against.html.
Also, I am collecting "closing arguments" of other Alabamians regarding the Presidential election and am putting links to the same (and even possibly will set them out in full) at https://trumptweet.blogspot.com/2024/10/closing-arguments-of-other-alabamians.html.
I solicit any participation in this effort of mine that Alabama lawyers care to give in these closing days of the election.
Thank you. Email to Alabama TV stations, chambers of commerce and economics professors re: "Will you elite Alabamians keep regular Alabamians stupid about the economy and inflation?"

Subject: Will you elite Alabamians keep regular Alabamians stupid about the economy and inflation?
Dear Alabama chambers of commerce and economics professors:
I sent you an email only a week ago and am importuning you (and Alabama TV stations) once again regarding this matter.
I am drafting an "AMERICA'S CLOSING ARGUMENT AGAINST DONALD J. TRUMP" at https://trumptweet.blogspot.com/2024/10/americas-closing-argument-against.html, in which I have the following discussion about the economy and inflation:
A. Economy and inflation
There is a great financial and psychological malaise of the American people connected to prices being much higher compared to four years ago.
The factors that have brought about the higher prices are complex, and governmental actions taken during the past four years were far from being black and white in their rightness or wrongness for Americans, and, as is frequently the case, such actions were in the face of uncertainty about what would exactly result from the actions.
COVID-19 put our country in an unprecedented dire condition in 2020, and no one knew exactly what governmental actions should be undertaken to extricate the country from its dire condition. https://trumptweet.blogspot.com/2020/05/our-countrys-dire-condition.html.
The selfish power-seeking Trump has conned millions of people into believing that the Democrats been evilly intent on destroying the country during the past four years with the governmental actions that have been undertaken to extricate the country from the dire condition it was in.
In this regard, I contend that Trump and the Repbulicans have made millions of Americans stupid on this subject. https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2024/10/you-stupid-stupid-people.html
This stupidity needs correcting, and efforts are being made to do that as indicated at It's the economy and inflation, stupid.
Understanding the complex factors that have brought about the much higher prices compared to four years ago leads to questions about what can and should be done going forward to lessen the financial and psychological malaise of the American people connected to prices being much higher compared to four years ago.
Conventional economic wisdom about how to bring down inflation is for interest rates to be raised and that there be a slowdown in the economy, and maybe even a recession is needed to get control of inflation. This happened in the late 1970's when interest rates were raised to near 20%, the economy went into a recession at the start of 1980, which lasted a number of months until the American economy pulled out of the recession.
In the inflation that started in 2021, the governmental response has been to raise interest rates, and since then the country has been looking out for whether the economy would have a "soft landing," (i.e., inflation being gotten under control without a recession). The country is still poised on that concern.
The governmental and societal challenges in this regard are in the face of evolving conditions that add difficulties.
One evolving condition is that of artificial intelligence and the uncertainty and anxiety that AI has introduced regarding people's jobs.
Second is the long-term effects of remote working that has come about from the pandemic. Employees have come to like the freedom and flexibility of remote working, and employers are hard at trying to evaluate the effects on productivity.
The selfish power-seeking con man Trump wants to deceive millions of people into believing that all they have to do is make him President and he will immediately fix everything and make everything beautiful for the American people. Con man Trump talks about his being a smart President who can do this for the American people when what con man Trump really wants is for American people to stupidly believe the things con man Trump says to them.
Can any of you make an affirmation that the above discussion fairly corrects the messaging that Trump and the Republicans do about the economy and inflation that I contend makes regular Alabamians stupid about the subject. If the discussion does not fairly do that, can you please suggest changes in the discussion that makes the discussion "fair."
Then can Alabama TV stations (which are copied on this email) find ways to lessen the stupidity of their viewers about the economy and inflation that Trump and the Republicans have caused?
In the seriousness of the stakes that are involved in the election, I hope my importuning of you (and Alabama TV stations) on this matter is not objectionable to you.
Thank you for your consideration.
