its honestly baffling

Really? What don't you understand?

 

[gagabobo1997]

The point is that unlike a nuke, things like the penguin tariff cost no time or resources and have no consequences, yet retards still obsess over it as a serious blunder

Fair point. The consequences though are further proving that the administration is run by 85iq retards

The detractors will already believe that either way, so might as well dangle some jingly keys for them and be the retard they think you are, then work on your actual agenda while they talk about penguins

I invest in old coins, dick pills, and rare samurai swords like a real America.

Those will all go up in value in time. Especially after they ban dick pills.

 

[Barleys]

Your stocks will rise again you faggots, just hold and buy the dip. I'd rather take a small dent now so we can have manufacturing come back to help middle America. Sorry you don't know how much middle America has suffered for decades.

I'm already flat fucking broke so none of this effects me lol.
I just hope it's worth it long term. One thing I've been thinking about, is the fact that the US couldn't even do forever wars for Israel anymore. We legit produce jack fucking shit! How are we supposed to bomb brown kids if we don't even have the fucking munitions!
God, am I simping for the MIC right now? lmfao
Just "Make America Make/Manufacture Again" I don't fuckin' know what slogan to use, but it's an idea lol

 

[Pendulous Dong]

When r/wallstreetbets and /biz/ were pulling a funny they actually froze GME but only for retail traders

I hate this shit and I wish you retards would stop pushing it. The only platform that froze buying GME was Robinhood, a platform by drooling retards for drooling retards, because when a million redditors rushed the app with $1,200 in hand the instant deposit system literally started running out of money.

You could still buy GME on Fidelity or any other normal trading platform, the only reason this rumor persists is because your first day of trading consisted of downloading Robinhood and asking "wen moon?"

 

[mandatorylurk]

The US has something close to a third of worldwide household consumption, that is such a strong deterrent to any country not wanting to be slaughtered economically that things will be basically back to normal by July, probably quicker .

there’s talk of EU and Chyna looking to meet tomorrow about trying to increase trade with each other but that’s like two of the most corrupt workers in the warehouse trying to work together and promise they won’t stab each other in the back. If it does last it only justifies how much Europe must suffer for being such backstabbing faggots.

TLDR itt posters too poor to have investments

If you’re day trading, you’re just another idiot gambling. If you’re not, then it doesn’t matter unless you’re retiring tomorrow.

Boomers can afford to have the line go down for once.

I hate boomers too but the US economy is the best on the planet

I’m going to repost this lovely image from earlier:

The average person’s purchasing power is what most people care about, and it has not improved meaningfully since the 80s. Except a spike in 2016 to 2020…

 

[Velociraptor]

This is from 2022 mentioning how Trump had Tariffs during term 1.

I was too young to really understand what the state of the economy was like under Obama, but I was a teenager under Trump and I remember things being pretty damn solid. Gas was cheap, you could get a Taco Bell Box for $5, etc.
I don't really understand anything about the economy, but Trump steered things well last time so I trust his plan. So far, I've already seen a slight improvement in grocery and gas bills.

Niggas in this thread who are obsessed with imaginary fucking numbers that mean fuck all and are tied to jobs that make gdp out of thin air, stock niggas are mad you stopped believing in their gay shell game. Green number means piss all when it’s not tied to anything , stop buying into some fucking greed machine that tells you it makes value from thin air because they took your money to pay a guy to write some gay bullshit on a piece of paper.

 

[CyrusHowler]

Convinced someone on Trump's team does things like the Heard & McDonald Islands tariff on purpose specifically as a lightningrod for media and retards to obsess over

Yep. While they’re all busy talking about the island with penguins, shit is getting done.

Fair point. The consequences though are further proving that the administration is run by 85iq retards

Or you’re just a stupid fuck.

Invest in some commas, instead.

making excuses for and dickriding them despite every retarded thing trump and musk and their admin do isn't 'looking behind the curtain', its being an idiot. If you genuinely believe the penguin island thing was a 4d chess misdirection instead of a simple mistake then idk what to say other than that i hope you don't pass on your genes so that you don't lower the average IQ of future generations.

 

[CyrusHowler]

was too young to really understand what the state of the economy was like under Obama,

It was horrible, I was a teen during the Obama years and we legitimately struggled. Gas was almost 5 bucks a gallon at one point and I remember 5 dollar loaves of bread. And that was plain ass regular white bread.

but I was a teenager under Trump and I remember things being pretty damn solid.

Yes. Gas got down to $1.78 which is almost as low as I’ve ever seen it (gas station diagonally across from my childhood home was $1.58 in the twilight of Bush’s second term) and groceries were affordable. I remember being able to get the 32 Oz Gatorades which they don’t sell anymore, they’re 28 ounces now, for a buck and Powerades for 88 cents at the Dollar General down the street from me.
The Maruchan “Yakisoba” microwave noodle things were .79 cents. They’re almost $1.50 now.
