Because the ultra rich aren't making their money exclusively off the stock market and they're capable of shorting stocks. Where there is movement there is an opportunity to exploit. The only people that will lose here are the poor and middle class.

Pure conjecture formed in the head of a pitch goalie. Inflation is going nowhere but up, tariffs only accelerate it. Doesn't address China or labor requirements at all. Obsessed with debt at the worst possible time. Truly deluded stuff.

I would also like to nominate Stephen Miran and Scott Bessent to your greater list though I realize bloat my quickly take hold of you're too loose with it.

The rich only get more excited by higher prices for luxury goods. It's their kink.
They get hit at the club and go home to take it out on their employees.

Child Care Average Annual Salary: Around $33,094
Elderly Care Average Annual Salary: Around$33,530
Child care profit margins are 15-20% in some instances. Nursing homes are around 9% but pay to actual workers is very low. Again policy changes are needed to fix this.

We have a 4% unemployment rate.
7-8% of inventory is owned as a second home (4%) or institutional investors (3-4%) with the latter growing rapidly. Net profit margins on new construction is around 10%, leaving little room to attract new workers. Nothing will change without policy stimulating it.

Musk and the tech bro mafia are telling him robots will replace the work force while we get decimated by inflation for 10 years paying for it all. So he's just ignoring the logistics while he works on the greatest deal only a very stable genius and his sycophants could come up with...

This is the plan. It is all or nothing to our sherbet pervert.
It will in fact be nothing. It is entirely macro and puddle deep. It has no plan for inflation or restarting industry. Who would want to be vassal to a country that can't produce a ship?

Oh no not Tik Tok or China whining!
So many more critical reasons to concern yourself with this moldy orange than him grifting Tok Tok stans or being equitable with China...

I'll be sure to ask Santa for the gift of policy this Christmas. It will be cheaper than a new rice cooker by then no doubt.

He can't write a SQL query so he'll bury the data in uncommented spaghetti code thrown together under a stop watch.
I've watched banks take 2 years just to meet Basel III reporting guidelines but he'll do it in a single session.

I feel autarky should be a goal, not a curse. Trade a compliment, not a core.
And war the last resort.

An age of terrifyingly dense information which is either hard to look at, hard to understand, or both. We are offered endless platters of pre-digested, heavily processed or entirely artificial information catered to ever limited time being consumed by consumption itself.

It's #2. Which is why there is no plan in place like Biden's inflation reduction act for chips, which Republicans conveniently kept from that bill, for other industries.
Not an endorsement but bad plans are still plans:

What if I told you neither party represents working Americans?
No universal healthcare
No addressing housing crisis
No minimum wage increase
No lower healthcare costs
No stopping offshoring
No addressing wealth divide
No addressing wage growth
Bailout banks 👍
Bailout students 👎
I can go on...

Miller's skin flying from a flagpole on the Whitehouse lawn would bring tears of joy to my eyes.
House Bolton had some ideas I could get behind when applied correctly.

Maybe we should pay for the misery we outsource and allow other countries a middle class. This whole "we'll be a service economy thing" is a tiring argument.
Perhaps manufacturing workers should earn a fair share. Globalization should die but with a better plan in place than: tariffs and waiting

I appreciate the sentiment that "that world is over". I feel like a lot of people feel we abandoned it. We abandoned it with "a poor strategy" doesn't mean it wasn't the end of an era.

I miss all 3. I don't understand the mindset that America doesn't need manufacturing jobs and can just export misery to authoritarian governments that absolutely do not care about their citizens. I'd like to use imports to compliment our society not gut it's sovereignty.

Can't recall the last ship the Navy purchased that wasn't scrap. Shipping has already turned to Japan so we'll have to aggressively attack them to get it back.

Surpassing my understanding, but I think the plan doesn't address the likely inflation scenario or doesn't care. It seems entirely outward facing and entirely macro to me.
Questionable that anyone will want protection from someone with no industry to back it up and threw everyone to the wayside.

Thank you Chris. I don't disagree but please take a look at this if you get the chance. Excuse the title it's not an endorsement of his plan:

I'm pretty sure we could each list off TV stars we don't know. Let alone K-Pop stars, Bollywood stars...
For alt-right conservative yak boxes he's got a very solid following. Not sure how else you'd describe him. Rising star?
I think telling stories of grifters flipping bases has some value.

No you repeatedly ask the same idiotic question when what you wanted to say was.
Has he made a statement this minute about tariffs. You obstinate halfwit.
There are 47 democratic senators + 4 Republicans = 51
The bill passed 52 to 48 please link your source. 52+48=100

Doubled? The industry is massively oversaturated. Not to mention the same people who develop games are one of the most sought after workers across every industry.
Video games are an economy that benefits greatly from scale, so growth kept prices stable. Now inflation takes the wheel.
