It’s official. the switch 2 is delayed by Nintendo because they need to “figure out“ the tariffs. Trump just crossed gamers.

I heard games on switch 2 were going to be $80. I have a switch and I can’t think of a single game I got for it that was worth the $70 I paid for it. I think Nintendo is shooting themselves in the foot and that no matter the tariffs the console won’t do well.

I think they know this and that’s why they’re being so Jewish about emulation.

DK Bonanza is $70.
Mario Kart World is $80. Digitally.
Mario Kart World is $90 if you want a physical copy. And even then, it could just be a key game cart. Which means its just a license on a cart and you still have to download the game. You spent $10 for paper and plastic.

I'm kind of inclined to say this evens out. You want a weapon California says you can't have? Move to a state that says you can. Want to stay in California and break state gun laws? Well the feds would hate for you to diminish state rights, so they'll just uphold those for you.

It's time to abandon California to, well, California. Any based individuals still there should go someplace that actually wants based people.

The real market looks fine to me.

Embarrassed I even went and checked this, usually only do it twice a year or so.

Forever gonna be funny there are Kiwis F5ing trading sites every day.

If that's what happens then, yeah, the GOP is fucked. Right now, Trump hasn't even been president for 3 months.

And now we know why stocks kept rising during Biden: his administration was straight up handing out cash to artificially inflate it.

Exactly and we on here said exactly that. I remember every time the market would start plunging it would miraculously go on a week long streak to record highs even when the economic news was horrible. Today Trump's job report was nearly 100k more jobs than predicted, yet stocks keep tumbling.

Its not worth checking stocks or your portfolio everyday. Just set it and forget it. Mind you, you still need to invest in your stocks every month if you take a cut in your paycheck. Or just hire someone to do it for you.

Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (SCHG) and Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) are still my favs (60/40). Done pretty well over the last 5 years.

And when Trump tanks the market another 30% and it takes 3 years to recover the GOP is gonna be absolutely btfo in 2028 for the same reason

Is it true that if the market tanks 30% 94% of that loss will by felt by just 8% of the population? Also would this really allow trump to refinance the national debt using treasures?

Nintendo fucking sucks. Biggest mistake I made recently was paying $60 or whatever for the last Mario Party game which is dogshit and not fun compared to the old ones.

Yep. Just a reminder to the board libs though, if you invest in index funds, don't burn any Tesla cars! You probably just bought that company!

Sometimes I wish we had a more neutral "Doubt" sticker since nu-chan caps are at best scizo posts even if accidentally prophetic through sheer volume.

Love the lie here. He "drove through Texas", claiming it was a single homogenous climate which isn't true. He might have clipped through north or west Texas, but Texas is an extremely diverse place with everything from deserts to swamps.

Is there a single video that goes over the internals of this diesel car because I couldn't find it. From my understanding his car would somehow be more fuel efficient than the smallest engine sized motorcycle.

I call bullshit.

I feel like making deals atp goes against the idea of bringing manufacturing back to the US

The Bogle method is crashing down. In his 80 years never could he have predicted an incompetent Orange Cheeto raping the entire market within a couple days, this crash is different than any other in history

I would just like to say that stockbros are niggers and should rope. The market is fucking jewish and always does what benefits them and quite frankly doesn't matter in the slightest in any real way as it's all inflated, fake and jewish. And if you lost your shit you deserve it cause you are fucking cattle that begged the jews to rug you.

Gee. It was almost like this was to get good trade deals and done to show that Trump wasn’t just bluffing.
