Hold on to your butts.
Comrade Donald Trump. No other communist has done so much damage to the American Capitalism^
^ in such a short time. Bravo! -
Honestly, we've needed this crash since back when Obama was president, and we got a bunch of propped up corporations. They socialized the losses, so to speak.
Nobody I know in poverty is affected by stocks, so fuck them all.

You probably know fewer than 20 people who live in poverty yet think you know everyone who's poor?
I live in poverty but have a locked-in retirement fund, invested in the stock market, that I cannot control.
It's now down 12% since the Bloviator was elected.

I'm surrounded by the dumb fucks in a deep red state in the country; nearly everyone I've ever interacted with my entire life lives in poverty. The fact that you have a RETIREMENT FUND AT ALL puts you well above that line.
You know what you can't have when you're in poverty? Retirement funds. Because it's considered equity and you're not allowed to have any in order to get government assistance. The only things exempt from that are your homesteaded house, and 2 cars (and only if both adults in the house are working!)

Lmao which sub is that? Conservative? Or conspiracy?

You know, r/politics. The “radical leftist echo chamber,” according to its most normal users.

You know nothing. Stop thinking you do.

Not even 3 months
Yup, that’s on Easter Sunday 1/4 of 1/4 the way through.

They likely banned or hid anyone who said otherwise.

Lol, we are not even 6 months in to his 4 year term, what do you mean "the next US President"?
What do you mean US? There's a country left after this?

It's not very shortsighted, it's quite long-sighted. Everything has been shit since the 2008 crash. Absolutely dog-shit garbage. Wages haven't changed, everyone's already in the hole.
I'd have loved a few more years of floating it, but the writing has been on the wall for some time now. It's going to suck for everyone, I'm sure - but the market never corrected in 2008. It was going to happen some time or another - I'm just happy Republicans are going to be on the hook for it.
This isn't some bubble popping or realized losses, this is an entire political movement (Trump and Republicans) literally destroying the world economy. This isn't just going to impact the US, but potentially hurt people in every country.
Its also in no way connected to 2008. What is going on here is independent of that and won't be seen as a lesson to mistakes made in 2008.

This crash has to be so bad that the next US President that even so much as hints at wanting to use tariffs for any purpose other than what they're intended for, would be personally walked to the gallows.
This has happened once every 100 years or so. And each time it's a complete disaster for the country.
Give it another 100 and history will just repeat itself again

I heard a lot of conspiracy theories by now, that frankly portray mostly the same concepts in a pretty convincing manner, that say that this is exactly what they want to happen. And that's pretty damn scary.
Basically a new world order where everyone is poor and the billionaires control the world as the new monarchs. They take the world not by violence but by systematically destroying the world economy and having enormous amounts of money themselves.
Pretty freaking scary if true, because all the steps are apparently working splendidly.
It's for sure plausible.
Whenever a collapse happens, the rich get richer by buying up cheap assets, like houses and land.
And since corporations are immortal, these assets will forever be owned by them generations into the future.
It's fiefdom, except that it's much MUCH more stable over time given modern economies.
-
Oh there’s a demise I’m rooting for, but it ain’t mine.
This isn't necessarily going to affect the ultra rich who count on crashes like this to buy up real estate and assets in mass.
It's practically a guaranteed win, a cheat code even

You know, r/politics. The “radical leftist echo chamber,” according to its most normal users.
When I left it was arguably a leftist echo chamber, but I wouldn't be surprised if Democrats and liberals left en masse with the changes over the past year or two

So you mean the tariffs are hiked taxes on the poor?
/Well yes.

So we need a crash today because, ... checks notes ..., the 2008 crash made everything to shit?
Wtf are you on? Is this some elaborate "it's bidens/obamas fault" or something?
Sure sounds like wishful thinking.

You said “leftist.” What do Democrats and liberals have to do with anything?

I'd like to think we would have enough sense this time to setup a system to perpetually redistribe excess wealth
