I've never been rooting so hard for my own demise
Oh there’s a demise I’m rooting for, but it ain’t mine.

Confident!

Hold on to your butts.
This is going to be really interesting to watch unfold. I hope I keep my job until capitalism collapses

I lost mine on Thursday... I'm trying to think of it as a comedy of errors, but I admit, it stings a little.

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.
-
Hold on to your butts.
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.

Market go boom

“Next US president” is a hopeful prognostication. Trump seems intent on crashing the US economy into the side of a mountain

Lol, we are not even 6 months in to his 4 year term, what do you mean "the next US President"?

I wonder what a cage match between Trump and a locust from the Book of Revelation would look like.

Umm, that is very shortsighted.
Sure, a market crash means nothing to someone who doesn't own stocks. But it means a lot to their workplace, food suppliers, electronics manufacturers, insurance company, healthcare provider, etc.
The poor always get screwed the most in economic collapses, they just get it second hand by prices going up, mass firing, rent going up, loans getting worse, and public services being cut.

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.

I mean... I understand your point, but poor people will still suffer the most.
It's true, the market is terrible, this collapse was obvious for so many reasons. Still, the poor will suffer the most from it, short and long term

Lol, we are not even 6 months in to his 4 year term, what do you mean "the next US President"?
Not even 3 months

Like an armored grasshopper humping a wet cheese puff?

I think the main reason we never fully recovered from 2008 was because of Mitch McConnell’s personal pet project, Citizens United, which handed full control of the government over to those who caused the problem in the first place.

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.

Comrade Donald Trump. No other communist has done so much damage to the American Capitalism^
^ in such a short time. Bravo! -

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.
