I agree with most here on the stock market but it will be interesting to see if it causes Trump to change course. He's very ego driven and a big part of that is being a pro-business President who can brag about X% increase in the markets under his admin. Elon and others have mentioned 'temporary' hardship going back to election time so maybe this is factored into The PlanTM.
He spoke in the SOTU about the hardship, so I say it’s factored. He knows there’s going to be some course correction.
 
Does Canada put VAT or sales tax on food?
My basic understanding is kinda. Certain stuff are except, but seem to have a value added tax. Some shit is not in order to encourage consumption of domestic goods, but most people I know who do the casual “shop at Costco and drive across the border” because it’s immensely cheaper even if you have to pay a tax.

Half of them typically “smuggle” in alcohol because it’s a lot cheaper and certain border crossing are legit incompetently guarded.
 
At this rate and with these genius ideas they're going to be transported to the middle ages within 6 months.
that'd be so based. lets try to make it two months. Maybe i can then take a Brigantine to the european caliphate
 
Maybe I'm wrong, but I had thought fascism was an Italian thing borne from Mussolini wanting a system that placed the head-of-state at the center of national interest. I'm not a particularly big politics buff. I'd like to be fact-checked on this.
Fascism is Italian in origin, yes and Mussolini wanted a strong government with a very powerful head of government. Private property is allowed and nationalism is everywhere. There is also the ideals of corporatism in trying to unite employers and employees while outlawing unions as well as elements of a command economy. Be aware though that in many ways that the ideas of Fascism didn't exist in a vacuum and that Mussolini himself was a Socialist before he went toward the right-wing side of politics. In conclusion consider this slogan that was said to be popular with his supporters: everything within the state, nothing outside the state, and nothing against the state.

Most people aren't interested in an actual conversation about what the ideology actually was, to them it's simply useful as an insult and little else.

You're absolutely right! Absolutely right. The recession didn't start until the trusted news sources with reputable and non-agenda driven journalists started writing about it. Since 2020, the line was just going up! Now im broke and destitute having to sell my onahole to make ends meet. And its all Trumps fault, and solely his administrations fault that i have to get buttfucked for ebt cards
No recession yet. Just all the precursors which are being put in place for no reason at all other than to placate a massive ego. Fake news isn’t the Dow tanking - it’s real no matter what universe you live in. And it’s cause has nothing to do with the stink from Biden’s farts lingering either.

Perhaps he has 3 red buttons in the office ;

1. Diet coke
2. Tariffs
3. Launches
 
I see the opposite of "20 progressives vs. 1 MAGA".

I don't watch it because I have grown weary of such clickbait, even when it agrees with me.
These videos are always meant to reaffirm your preconceived notions in the most junk-food-ish way possible (and they always cut the conversation off whenever it gets interesting)

Super astute! Thank you for your nuanced and incredibly insightful post.
 
Anyone who isn't lying to themselves knows that judging the economy off the stock market or GDP is ridiculous. Since 2009 we have been living in essentially a risk-free rentier economy that exists solely to funnel upward to the top 2 or 3 percent of the population, of course these people also want to keep up this scam so they will bitch and moan and do anything to convince you to go back to the status quo.

As long as working class people keep their jobs, this is actually a great time to catch up, especially when paired with the exodus of illegal labor. This is one of the few times when those who have steady employment and don't have much invested in the stock market can make up ground against the rich.
 
local talk has some bitch on crying about Linda Mac's #2 again, I think the name was like, Jessica Swinn or something?
last time the gal was bitching about the #2 being ungoodthinkful for jewish reasons, now it's "she's never been an educator!"
 
The original destiny had such promise. Its an actual tragedy that shartivison ripped out the story halfway through and they had to pick up the pieces.
And the less said about 2 the better.
That's what happens when you get rid of all the right wing devs, or at least the not-insane people. Marty is a right wing dude, so is Michael Salvatori, as is Jamie Griesemer the lead designer of Halo 2. There's a reason Id still makes good games, they have a non insane and obviously down low right wing dude in charge with Hugo Martin.

gee, i wonder if there are any events that happened today that would have caused panicky nigger investors, who are known to panic sell (which is what caused the great depression) and wouldja look at that; trump announced that he wouldn't rule out a recession, you know, the thing that gets inflation under control when it's running wild, and this caused the speculation-niggers to do what they do best: panic.

maybe if everyone who panic sells every time a human being so much as breathes near their investments for 2.5 quarters of a femtosecond just killed themselves instead, the market would be more stable.

you should also consider it, since you are obviously a retarded nigger.
