There was also a twitter thread by an economicist who is now part of the Trump admin talking about the tarrifs and the games he's playing with them from about 50-100 pages back, which I don't have handy, and I think it talked about this too.

In short, the stock market is fake and gay and tying it to our general economy was a huge fucking mistake. The ... M2? number shows there's MASSIVE stock fraud going on (they claim to have more money than the rest of the Earth combined in the market or somesuch bullshit) and remember, the GameStop thing revealed they were literally counterfeiting stock on an industrial scale as a matter of course. It's why they had such a huge freakout as to literally prevent people from accessing the stock market and having Google/Apple disable new downloads of any stock trading apps while they slowly unwound the damage. It came within a few minutes of causing a complete crash.
It might not be 100% fake, rather, it's a bit like crypto, polymarket and GDP
A contact of mine has a few recounts from it, in short:


99% of the "money" is actually theorical, because the traders were so fucking frantic and running the clock that even the speed of light can't keep up with them, where comapnies run through all their trade stuff through miles of fiber optic just to buy time as it propagates through;

They have long since figured out instant trading that the present isn't enough and they buy future stocks, options and plans. Most of those subhumans' work is spent towards buying or making new future concepts for other traders to buy.

They invented their own version of polymarket a decade back, they have an equally ridiculous accuracy at predicting the future but nobody actually used it for anything because to even see those figures you need to be such a fucking subhuman trader freak that all that goes in your mind is "gee i wonder how many billions i can trade it for" and not "wow i could do some crazy shit irl if i used those predictions for personal ends".

The ridiculous amounts of money is just potential money, where Mr A. makes *jimbotron executive solutions 5000* which apparently gives an edge for trading so everyone buys some of it, but the price doesn't depreciate because everything goes so fast people forget/don't think about it, so if a single unit of it is 5 million, the maker sells 10k of those and thus has 50 billion.

BUT: everyone's money was *Potential* money, earned from another scheme, which itself is based off some theorical loan based on future happenings.
Thus, the 50B are technically had but based on jackshit. Then the person uses it to spend it on someone else's made up bs.

It's all some weird ouroboros pyramid scheme where the top of the pyramid also touches its bottom because the ones at the top are the most addicted and spend all their money on newbie shit hoping to find something new to scratch that itch.

The parallel with GDP is that they all revendicate trading billions willy nilly if not trillions, by using theorical money they don't have for something that makes even more nonexistent theorical money to spend it on more things making "potential" theorical money.
They don't have to use real money because of how the trade system works, where it's been accelerated so much that having money is less important than theorically having it, by the time the seller has to cash out.

(They never do in any meaningful way and even if they do, that money isn't theirs theorically since if someone else cashes out, you have to provide it aswell, and when you theorically are under the looming threat of everyone cashing out, you'd owe them billions if not trillions. So the only way to safely cash out is to never buy anything you don't have hard cash for, and sell more than you can actually buy by a lot)
 
In short, the stock market is fake and gay and tying it to our general economy was a huge fucking mistake. The ... M2? number shows there's MASSIVE stock fraud going on (they claim to have more money than the rest of the Earth combined in the market or somesuch bullshit)
The stock market is fake and gay but that's not the reason, market cap is just misleading.

Trump threatening to hit the Frenchies where it hurts, right in the grapes.

SUPER FUN FACT: All French wine is actualy Texan from 1883 onwards, a bug was threatening to wipe out ALL and I mean ALL french vineyeards after being brought back from the new world, so to save them they had to graft north American roots to the vines of the old plants to save them not kidding even a little bit, the samples they took were from Texas (and I read in another source California but honestly texas is funnier and thats what I could source now)
So the next time a french wants to get uppity remind them we saved their wine and all of it isent actually french, its TEXAN baby!

It's a bit oversensationalized.
They still have the plants from before it, it's rootstock, so they still had their plants but with a different base, that doesn't affect which seeds came out.
the process was a temporary solution before they bred new plants that fared better against them, eventually evolving their own anti-phyloxera capabilities, or nurturing an ecosystem that had bugs and birds eating them.
 
Is the Farms an NGO?
According to wikipedia troons, we're basically a terrorist organisation.
Rubio got on his step stool and just put his balls on the table

I failed guess the subversive middlemen too.
 
I’ve been hearing “China’s going to collapse in the near future!” for twenty years now. Between the demographic pyramid, the reliance on coal, the reliance on imported foodstuffs, the Three Gorges Dam and flooding, their buildings being cardboard, their economy being propped up by fake property transactions, their economy being propped up on debased or fraudulent metals, etc. I’ve heard it all. I just don’t believe this anymore. Sure, in a hot war the destruction of the dam and the stopping of imports could have major repercussions. But I don’t believe in a natural China collapse which is always just on the horizon. I think that’s an excuse by American elites to justify continually empowering China and destroying the American economy under the guise that it’s no big deal because they’re destined to fail anyways.
the problem is that the people calling the collapses all go for some "recent new thing" instead of pointing out the slower, massive problems they're having like now being the #1 fastest aging nation, eclipsing japan and south korea
the younger generation are dying in droves while not having kids themselves, the median age of having a kid seemingly rising by more or less one year every year.

The collapse the whippies gloviate about WOULD be some civilization-collapsing shit in any first world country, but china just has the ability to flatten dissent and apply legalism to such an extent that the individual is both extremely self-centered and yet acts like an ant in a colony.
They made them the perfect consumer, depriving them of rights, destroying their entitlement to have a quality product, while making them fiercely loyal to the CCP and ignore whatever terrible thing dribbling from them by just keeping the gacha games flowing.

There is no sense of personal accomplishments other than money, philantropy is king: "Pay to Win" is seen as completely normal to them because skill in their eyes is just as good as spending some amount of money to reach the same level of performance in a game.
It's like some russian novelist's gloomy story but instead of the book finding some kind of hope, the end just went "nothing really matters so grift the fuck out of life and see how much fun you can get before you croak" without the outgoing energy behind it.

To many, life is gameified, it's all about finding the small bumps of dopamine, grinding IRL to invest in games, there's no real sense of "i will improve myself and my community", they relegated that to the CCP. Altruism is more or less an alien concept (same in a lot of non-western countries) to the point some tenants of it are virtually illegal.
If anything, what will cause the collapse or china, or at least CCP, will come from a plan to fix the replacement rate (turbocharged dating apps or govt mandated GFs). If they don't suppress the individualistic bond created from having children (taking them into some soviet/nazi nursing projects), then they will "unrepairably" broaden the new father's horizons as they're forced to care for someone other than them, which goes against pretty much anything in current china.
 
People forget that Caesar was assassinated not because he was some tyrant, but because he tried to give the common people's councils more power and was becoming insanely popular amongst said people. He was a decent statesman, a decent general, and a surprisingly decent philosopher and learned man (literally invented the modern calendar), effectively one of the few people that fit Plato's philosopher-king standard since Alexander. The senators, effectively ran by an oligarchy of gossipy catty teenage girls petty kings, didn't like that, especially since before he was a relative nobody amongst the aristocracy, with little gold or political power to throw about before his success as a general. So then they crown him because he won a civil war they started, then killed him, then also immediately knew they fucked up after killing him and had to prevent another civil war by basically invoking divine right to rule and crowning Octavius...who then took the name Caesar.

tl;dr senators are retarded no matter what era.
Marc Antony did nothing wrong.

That is scary as hell!

Like I knew the fiat economy could collapse but I didn't know how much stocks were utterly fake and propped up as well. If that was ever revealed and the chips were cashed in it would make The Great Depression look like a blip!

I have a small amount of money in Robin Hood. They keep trying to get me to do options trading. I never mess with it because it sounds like a bad idea. They push it super hard too. Now I know why.
 

I love this rando quoting someone that's quoting an unnamed post is 'proof' that Trump voters are en masse regretting their vote.

Saw this on DU as 'proof'.

The 'reddit mindset' just keeps on going.
Nothing reveals a person is a massive dork like them advocating their BluSky account. YouTube suggested me a Portal video today, and I instantly lost interest once the guy said to follow him on BluSky.
 
I simply cannot wait till the danger-haired Palie-lovie Proggie activists and Boomer "Blue No Matter Who" voters go hammer and tongs against each other in the primaries in 2026. Hey, maybe they'll even split the vote in the generals, leading to some long shot Republican wins. Certainly they're all acting like headless chickens right now.
from all the details of professional activists flying to various cities to protests there aren't enough progs to effect the election.
 

They sometimes mix it with ground up human bones because, lol, niggers.
That's some fucking roulette, it's either synthetic cannabinoids OR synthetic opioids 10x stronger than fentanyl.

And no, I don't think we need to flood Africa with more gibs, if these niggers aren't rolling the dice on kush they are huffing jenkem. If an animal is addicted to poisonous berries, we gain nothing from rescuing him with the antidote so he can do it again.

Let them die if they want to.
 
lol they're all pussies. They won't do shit. And on the off-chance I'm wrong and someone really does try something, it'll be half-assed, they'll fuck it up, and either kill themselves in the attempt, get themselves shot, or screw up so hard they get busted well before making the attempt.

They don't have the budget for the kind of sharpshooter they sicced on Trump during the election cycle anymore.
and even if it happened... do they know Vance would get the presidency still? it's not like a immediate election is called after.
Even if Vance is down too, I think it goes to the Speaker of the house, the Senate pro tempore (Charles E. Grassley), and then his cabinet. so regardless, you will have a republican until 2028, bare minimum.
