    The economy hasn’t worked for the working class since the Great Recession. I’m sure the billionaire class will get what is left in communist handouts while we are all put in cutthroat facist homeless work camps because being homeless is illegal. Unless we finally fight back but I’m not going to hold my breath

    This is good. Let it hit wall street too. They thought he would be amazing for them while he said exactly what he’d do. While we’re eating instant ramen let their funds lose a few billion. Maybe they’ll see it then.

      Exactly. I want all the boomer fucks who voted for this dude and all the young people who thought this is a good idea who cosplay wolf of wall street to feel it in their wallets as much as possible. The only thing they see is the stock market

        Ironically for young people the pain may be short, but it’ll make stocks cheap for us, it’s great to be paying into a 401k now during a downturn!

        For all the boomers that voted for this who are pulling money out of the stock market when it’s down… Womp womp

          That assumes the dollar doesn’t take a permanent tumble. If the world decides the US is too volatile and starts using the Euro as their reserve currency, we may find the US market never actually recovers, since so much of the value of our companies are tied in with their leadership abroad

          Remember, past performance is not an indicator of future results. Just because every past downturn ended and pushed US stocks higher at some point, doesn’t mean it will always happen, particularly as we piss off our closest allies.

            But if we could find a way to crush the euro, maybe by making them pay for their own war in Ukraine and by making them buy weapons packages from us using only dollars, we can keep the dollar propped up long enough to redraw borders and strip enough copper and regulation out of the walls that foreign investment in the form of building new factories in the usa begins to look like an attractive investment, especially when paired with a populace primed by de-funded schools to be well suited for such jobs…

    Likely, disinformation. The elites want us to think the world burns while they buy our stocks and commodities. Wonder: who profits when the world markets go down? From the richies: be bold when others are meek, be afraid when others are bold.

      Wasn’t it reported that Warren buffet had like 60% of his wealth in cash? If that’s true, Warren Buffet will profit once he buys cheap assets and then the economy recovers.
