    what does this have to do with trump! They made money from increasing values in their assets which is mostly equity. Which means ur making money too if ur in the market - which u should be….and hence I’d be just like them.

      Trump playing with tarrifs while him and all his buddies participate in insider trading has been the biggest, most blatant wealth steal in recent history that I am aware of. I tried playing the game with them and made a couple bucks, but I am not even playing with pennies compared to these assholes. They wrote the rules to make themselves win, and we will always be the losers.

      The collapse is inevitable.

      The Vanderbilts and Rockerfellers and JP Morgans weren’t the ones bankrupted by the Great Depression. Elon Musk will not be the protagonist of the next Steinbeck novel. The “collapse” will just be further economic consolidation, until the people being squeezed are willing to resist their own exploitation as a collective unit.

      If the stock market loses 90% of its value tomorrow, all that changes is valuation. The physical capital remains in the hands of the plutocrats as does the command over the bulk of human labor. And the pain we feel will be the consequence of policies they impose, not any real shortfall of goods or dearth of professional services.

    The poor & dimwitted rubes who voted for trump see this as a good thing. They claim to be Christian but really they worship money.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

    Working as intended.

    “It’s the billionaires” is the answer to many of the world’s worst problems.

    Any minute now that trickle down effect is gonna feel like a torrential down poor of cash. Yup. Any minute now.

    It’ll probably start right after these job creators finish creating jobs for some of those estimated 7+ million unemployed Americans that are actively looking for work.

    The ones that have will taste the bast, some are saying? Something something about the meat being more plump and tender? It’s like a Dubai chocolate bar. Never had one much less seen one but I’m willing to give it a try.
