Stock Market in free-fall

Skippy, its been 6 weeks...ease off the TDS and research how long it took Reagan to get a hold of Carter's economy he inherited...man, its sad you poor fellas are so seriously brainwashed...get out and get some fresh air... The market is having a bad day, nothing to do with project 2025 (geez!) or a bird flu egg shortage...

In just 6 weeks....

 
This is correct. These are the steps in the conversion to a true oligarchy or as Chris Hedges calls it, "warlord capitalism". I've also heard it called corporatism.

The plan is to tank the economy through tariffs and mass unemployment. Interest rates drop, stocks become much cheaper. The oligarchs buy low and become richer. They gain even more power and influence.

Remember Elon Musk's own words before the election:

"Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to live within our means. That does really involve temporary hardship but it will ensure long term prosperity."

Now, clearly those "temporary hardships" will be felt on Main St and not by the oligarchs.


This is a great article, written a month before the election. It's so spot-on. This all happening in plain sight.


You cheerleaders have your eyes closed. There is a reason Trump isn't mass-tweeting about how great the economy is and will be. He is trying to tank it this time.
You're 100% wrong except for 1 thing. I'm buying stocks now for the first time in years. I sold during the Biden years because I knew the economy was fake.
 
It's all going to plan. To be fair, a recession was probably going to be unavoidable after the out-of-control stock market over the last 10 years. I think the thought was Trump's economic policies would stunt a recession and make it manageable. But we are probably heading towards Great Recession 2009 territory. And Republicans always do this:

Bush: Mortgage Crisis/Great Recession
Trump: Terrible covid response
Trump 2.0: Tariffs and mass layoffs
The only people getting laid off are government employees.
 
He did try to tank it in the first term, but there were too many guardrails then. Now he’s installed in government just sycophants and new allies that believe in autocracy. We’re are close to losing our democracy, it’s that simple.
Are you really this dumb?
 
I think the economy and market would be in a substantially better place

Now you have project 2025 and instability .
Congrats !

Hey - quick question- which of Trump’s cabinet are selected on merit ?!?
Because biden’s were actually qualified .
100% of them.
 
yep, nothing says qualified for overseeing health in the USA like being a heroin addict
Maybe someone with mental issues while serving is a bigger problem.

You’re wrong. Contractors and suppliers have also been subject to layoffs.
That’s what I’m saying

Here in GA a peanut/peanut butter supplier is dealing with possible 100 jobs being affected by this shortsighted USAID move…

These idiots like Elon don’t realize farmers, factory people and suppliers provide food outside of the boundaries of the US
 
The economy from a growth standpoint was pretty darned good - including employment numbers and wage growth.
Funny how it was all about inflation until it stabilized - now not a word about it in the media .

This quarter is likely to have negative GDP- the question is how negative .
You don't read the right media. Inflation started back up. Employment numbers were fake. GDP was headed down regardless of who was elected.
 
Not just ai and tech
The Down and SP500 declined a bunch .
Net negative February for the market .
Enough to erode the claimed Trump bump since November 5th .
But don’t worry - now I’m told it’s Biden’s fault .

The is no short term pain For future gain and there is no change for the future .
The current economy is still Biden's. No Trump policy has had time to impact it.

The market is Trump's. It is a buying opportunity for those smart enough to know Biden's market was fake.
 
- I'm not sure if you are saying this with a straight face. He hired a Fox News analyst to lead DoD. His qualifications besides working for Fox? He was in the Army for a few years And he started and ran some veterans organizations, which quickly went bankrupt. If he applied to be a regional manager of a McDonald's franchise, he may not even have gotten that job.

- He wanted to hire a serial rapist to lead DOJ

- He hired a conspiracy theorist with no medical background to lead HHS

These are unserious "FU" picks.
Do you always make stuff up?
 
Now you're just making stuff up. I know, you are really struggling with reality.
I'm not. I don't read the top-line economic reports like 99% of you. I dig deeper. Like jobs and unemployment. The definition of unemployment changed so that part-time work was ignored in the top-line. Had the definition remained the same, unemployment would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 23%. Re inflation:

From Egg Prices to Housing, US Inflation Is Heating Up Again
 
Chinese lab leak….he was called a racist but was right about that.

Obama had surveillance in Trump tower. People said he was paranoid and crazy but he was right.

NATO was not paying its share. People said he was insulting our allies but he was right about that and NATO was taking advantage of the US.

Chinese lab escape is possible, but scientists are leaning toward raw wet market as being the source. Point being that Trump was making claims as fact even though it’s not conclusive.

Trump is a Russian asset.


NATO should be spending more on their own budgets, but it’s an s

Sorry, made the correction. What’s happening now is a war on the government. Much of this is driven by cranks and individuals with personal agendas. I said this before, the people that will be hurt the most will be those who voted for that sociopath.

Mayor Pete was incredibly qualified. Wonder why he was given his cabinet post?

Imagine putting a dude in your cabinet because he fake breast feeds his child.

Speaking of administration posts, trump probably has 10 gay/lesbian appointees and every one of them are more than qualified than a mayor from South Bend.

Government employees didn't vote for Trump.

Give up on the Russian asset thing, It makes you look dumb.
 
People who think there's a magical guy who lives in the clouds and controls everything... might what check calling out mental issues. Lol.
Who thinks God controls everything? You have mistaken concept of Christianity.
 
When did you sell? If you sold in 2021, you missed a lot. The market was at an all time high in Dec 2024, then peaked again shortly after trump took office. So you likely sold in Jan 2025 thinking trump is taking over Bidens mess. Look at ll thr pullbacks when tariffs were mentioned. Look at when consumer sentiment data dropped. And the most recent job numbers. Some of the increase in numbers were direct government employees.

He's just making up nonsense. If you call him out, he deflects answering.

I’m not sue what the vote count was, but 80% of Gov’t employees are spread outside DC, including big red states. But it shouldn’t matter, its everyone’s gov’t.

Trump is a Russian asset not by my word, but from Republicans that worked in his first administration. His pivot to Putin and Russia says it all.

Of all the people, you point to a graduate of Harvard and the University of Oxford, who attended on a Rhodes Scholarship? That guy? Lol.
