1% reduction, inflation is never going to hit less than or at 0% because that's just the natural state of money, it naturally inflates.
Actually it can. One of only times was during the depression. In macroeconomics they'll tell you very hardcore that deflation is almost as bad as hyperinflation because people will hoard cash as an investment instead of putting it into markets or other things.

ETA a lot of people think 'deflation' is when 'inflation drops from 5% to 4%'. People are so economically illiterate with things like this it's painful to even bother to explain that sometimes. I see that all the time. I mostly don't even bother to correct them.

So 10% was speculative and doesn’t account for the 20% we’ve dumped in the last 30 days. So what you’re saying is we’re actually down -10% from the last 4 years ATH. Also inflation definitely hasn’t lessened under Trump, all his policies are inflationary, tariffs especially aren’t deflationary. We’re at worse joblessness now under Trump than we ever were under Biden, it actually recovered towards the end of his term.
Markets don't like uncertainty, and there's uncertainty over a ww3, whether or not there is one the markets will rise because once that uncertainty is gone then investors and companies will know what to invest in.

Nobody is uncertain about ww3 that’s the most disingenuous shit I’ve heard lol. They’re uncertain about his policy because he walks it back 1 week and then implements it without warning the next. Nobody know what the hell Trump is going to do to bring domestic production back, TSMC and Apple donating big money towards nothing that will actually come to fruition in this term. It’s all smoke and mirrors by partisans telling you hokum.

Not really. Then people stop buying things. And investing. It's ok to get close to 0% more rise, or for some pockets in the economy to truly deflate of course. But it the overall goes under 0% you have a serious problem. Literally depression and those panics of the late 1800s times.

But depression will make us strong and *checks notes* help us beat our enemies like Canada and Europe while supporting our allies in Russia.

Alright you've shown me just how little you're paying attention to the world around you and are full on TDS. People are uncertain about ww3 dumbass, there's literally talks every fucking day of is it gonna happen or not, is nato going to get involved etc etc. People and the markets are uncertain whether or not this spat between ukraine and russia are going to involve a lot of different countries.

Nobody on fucking Wall Street cares about WW3 no matter how much your false messiah cries about it. They care about topics much more grounded in reality and less so in stupid rhetoric for the dumb dumbs.
 

Top FBI official forced out after criticizing Trump pursuit of agents who investigated Jan. 6​

James Dennehy, the head of the FBI's New York office, is out one month after he urged colleagues to “dig in” after the new administration requested the names of all agents who worked on Capitol riot cases.

NBC source to confirm @Carlos Danger 's image of a X post.
As usual they didn't even bother to arrest him or actually hold him accountable in any way.

It would be weird if he ran, because last time he pranced.

Tim wasn't just unsubstantial, he was an active detriment. Tim is so bad at public speaking he lost a 1v3 debate against Vance and had some of the worst gaffes in debate history.
The guy gives off gay vibes, but that seems to be a feature, not a bug. An evolutionary adaptation to the modern left wing ecosystem, the only white men still interested in voting Democrat all have some combination of soy, smug, or gay-face. None of these guys looks like he could change a tire

ANY sort of negative development has the potential to disrupt trade relationships
Can Badman get a pink triangle already or just threadbanned?
This is containment, being under A&N. If you’re banned from containment, what then?

I say give him his pink triangle and let him be a punching bag
