It would be easier to dismiss if Trump's budget didn't include cutting medicaid so that billionaires can get another tax break. And you retards are all for it because Trump is doing it. It's hysterical. Trump could piss in your mouth and you'd celebrate it

Don't try and time the market. If you can't find a good company, but it into a broad market index fund and keep some in bonds and rebalance regularly. For example, 80% stock and 20% bond. Then in 6 months, re-balance so your ratio is 80/20 again (so if stocks are higher, sell stocks and buy bonds and vice-versa).

I know reading is difficult for you given your intellectual disability, but they have enough where it won't matter. They're losing a bit but will make it up by buying other shit cheaper because everything is tanking and will get even worse. Plus, your waifu wants to give them a tax break at your expense so they'll have even more cash to buy low with.

Why do you white knight billionaires and demand that your money should go to them? It's really weird, little guy

Actually I am doing okay. I sold most of my stocks when I realized that your waifu had an unhealthy obsession with tariffs. I got a half mill in cash just waiting to buy in

You thinking of buying in tomorrow or waiting for next week after anticipating a 2nd crash?

I don't agree. We're already paying out the ass in groceries. All this will do is cause some stability. I don't think we'll see that much change past the next week or two. I don't think prices will go down too much. I think what you'll rather see is a correction on wage fronts and the major expenses such as cars and homes slowly begin to fall. We're using a lot of anticipatory models for these things and people have had a lot of time to make adjustments to handle what's expected to come.

Over the last 20 years or so, I've heard the repeated line, "Social Security will go bankrupt in 8 years", but somehow it's still here and it's still being funded. The fear mongering and retardation over Social Security and Medicaid serves no one. All it does is freak people out (though, then again, that is the goal, isn't it?).

The math is unavoidable, because there are too many olds and not enough youngs. At some point, the already-issued bonds run out, and it won't be able to issue checks for the full amount promised. Congress will have to act, or there will be an immediate, across-the-board benefits cut. That point was estimated to be around 2035 some years ago.

In terms of paying 35% more for groceries, my supermarket helpfully labels their fruit and veg with the country of origin so in preparation all I did was skip the broccoli in the "product of Mexico" box and grab the broccoli in the "product of USA" box. It hasn't even been that much of a price difference. It isn't noticeable.
The nearby farmers market is also opening soon and that's meat, eggs, honey, mushrooms, bread, dairy, fruit, and veg all produced within the state. Tariff free.
I'll also be buying a cow share to cover my meat needs for the next six months. Great value and great quality. I can even drop by the ranch to go meet who's going to be going on my table in a month.
If you have one, check out your local farmers market kiwis! It's patriotic and delicious!

Kind of tired hearing people complain only about how the US is going to lose/losing all of the tariff wars. Just like covid, suddenly everyone is an economic expert with precognitive abilities. I don't pretend to know what will happen but do know it's critical to bring things back inshore and that America deserves true fair trade instead of being taken advantage of.
Foreign and internal investments have been made to manufacture in the US and several countries already blinked first. A lot of these complaints are from people unhappy about higher prices now but bizarrely I see a lot of dooming about in-progress investments too, such as claiming US based factories won't be clean enough to actually produce chips (??). It's much more concerning these efforts are uprooted and destroyed forever by the powers that be, especially if the progs regain authority after Trump
Teaching kids to not eat candy now so they get extra candy later was a lesson for toddlers, adults apparently need to relearn it, as well as the pain of growing trees whose shade you won't enjoy.

I am holding cash for a while. I've had this stockpile since early February. I normally don't market time but it was pretty obvious that shit was going to go down. I still have stock index funds as part of my 401k and my entire Roth, too

It's going to cause prices to go up even more. Prices on cars and homes are going to go up way up because a lot of the parts for those things are imported (for example, we get most of our lumber from Canada). Home repair stuff will go up. Car prices will go up because parts are made overseas. Wages will go down because unemployment is increasing.

You guys really have no idea how bad of an idea this shit that Trump is doing. If you really wanted to fix the shit that Trump was saying he wanted to fix, increase corporate tax rates to what they were in the 50s. Then corporations have no incentive to outsource and ship jobs overseas. They have incentive to hire Americans and build factories. The tariffs lead to the first great depression and will likely lead to a recession

I'd say that I would be excited to come gloat in 6 months about how right I was (as I usually am) but instead you retards would be celebrating the fact that we are in a recession because you guys are incapable of ever criticizing your waifu, even if it ends up with you being homeless. It's a really weird phenomenon.

I'm just glad to hear that all these countries are so very worried about HOW these tariffs will hurt.
Since the crying libs say it's going to hurt the USA, it must mean all these countries really ARE our friends and just trying to stage an intervention :heart-full:
