What we should really be looking at during these crashes is which of Trump's allies have been enriched by the crash. They're doing all of this intentionally.
"Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief." - Chris Murphy (read his summary below)
Amidst this nightmare there are reasons for optimism. But success requires continuing to ratchet up the pressure on Congress and the Administration. Turn fear into courage, because "courage is also contagious". Keep fighting. Read this to help fuel you: https://www.alternet.org/an-ever-stro...
It looks like you are from Florida Abbey. What are voters saying there? I mean their 401ks are decimated, things are crazy… do they still support this lunacy? Or are you one voice? What’s it look like?
These deranged actions will continue so long as republican elected officials and voters remain silent. No one individual has the audacity to subvert the government. This is like wild fire that is raging uncontrollable. Trump is intent in crash the system. He is almost there.
It was worse than that, it is a trump made hurricane which is still gathering speed for the follow up catastrophic destruction.
People, businesses large and small sold their soles for tax cut and deregulation.
It’s never thin air. It’s always a transfer of wealth from you to the people who bet against your retirement money. Now they have what you earned. Sic semper erat…
I'm not even American, but a big chunk of my TFSA is in US stocks. I'm aware that there are a few other factors at play, especially regarding NVDA, but I can't help but feel that this crash is having a larger effect than anything else.
The global view of the United States is changing, with many countries perceiving a decline in its influence. This shift could significantly impact both domestic and international issues. By voting for the Democratic Party, we can uphold progressive values and strengthen the nation's global standing.
I live in a country where the orange prick isn’t in charge, so I didn’t get to vote against him, but my pension is still getting fooked by the deranged cunt. Fook u America
The Russell 2000 index, a much broader index of companies on the US stock market is down 21% just think about that for a moment...now tell me you are winning under #Felon47...I'll wait....no hurry. Every 100 years or so a fool come along saying tariffs are the answer here is your 100 year fool:
A carnival barker, drowning truth in a tidal wave of lies, spinning scandal into spectacle. His magic trick? Making you believe resistance is futile- authoritarianism is inevitable. But the con only works if we stop fighting. Resist, unite, stay loud—because the moment we give up, we lose, he wins!
When are we going to put a stop to this?! WTF are we the people waiting for? It’s time for a NATIONWIDE WALKOUT. Lawsuits, boycotts and little marches etc..aren’t working. SHUT THE COUNTRY DOWN!
That is impossible in our society. We have no experience with authoritarian regimes, unlike Europeans.
We don’t understand in our hearts that things only get worse when you wait it out, and so we think of our livelihoods and give in, or protest in small groups.
Then that is just an indication of how much it bothers you.
Perhaps you are only 2 hours drive worth of mad at the moment. And in a few months when they arrange the next mass protests it might be up to 3 or 4 hours mad.
Hopefully all your fellow protestors aren't locked up by then.
My point wasn’t just about me. It’s about the enormity of our country and the logistics involved in getting tens of thousands of people together in one place. It’s expensive and complicated, therefore takes time and money.
I also think it’s important to call Trump out before he makes a decision or an “executive act”. We mostly know what he’s going to do before he does it - much like Biden knew before Putin invaded Ukraine. Tech bros are in FL now. Let’s call out how he’s going to lower tariffs for them.
It's a tribute to how powerful our oligarch billionaires have become that they have brought Trump back to life after he was rejected by the American people. Whenever we get control back we need to tax the hell out of these people that own the Republican party.
Everything I hear says no. They’re out to gut and piss the right people off. The endgame is to give Trump his narcissistic supply. Sure hope people get tired of it.
I think we've got it figured out. I've been directing them to Chris Murphy's site to read the 11 posts he originally posted but somebody honed me into this +alt bot that does some kind of auto alt. I wish I understood it better.
JESUS! ohmpills.

Thank
Repost this. Be a true American and fight back. No fear, repost so more people will show up. I'm in shock about how many people are not reposting this info for the protest. Please repost and SHOW UP!! No one is coming to save us!! A few people can't do it either. Help out and repost!! And SHOW UP!
I lost my retirement in 08 so I could not care any less. Let the orange piece of shit do what he wants. Fucking piece of shit republicans and democrats aren’t doing a fucking thing so fuck it.
People used to get pensions. Guaranteed incomes. Then they were like "hey you should all play the stock market instead! It'll be great! 401Ks for everyone!" And people gave up their guaranteed income for this.
You can invest your 401K fully in cash if you want something like a guaranteed investment return. Very little downside risk, but of course, also very little upside. Unfortunately the days of defined benefit pension income are mostly over, but there are options besides gambling on the stock market.
No brit here - I think it’s broadly the same as over here where it’s a contributory pension fund but you can choose which stock to invest in ( I think - yanks - please correct me if wrong )
Where are all the Wall Street millionaires jumping out of tenth story windows? I was promised there would be Wall Street millionaires jumping out of tenth story windows.
Like a captain ordering holes drilled in the lifeboats before ramming an iceberg, Trump’s GOP dismantled the safety net before throwing the country over the cliff.
At a time when life will become unaffordable with limited access to products, goods and foods we've taken for granted. Many things will become impossible to find in America.
Actually, the new plague for Trump 2.0 is Measles, widespread as I type this with over 400 cases in Texas. Christian prophet said new disease would spread during this administration - it's the measles. It was good that Covid got him in his first term.
Stop trying to make money in the stock market. This is the time for BOND FUNDS! I haven't seen things this bad since the 1970's. Trump was busy BURNING UP the ECONOMY, the only good thing was Cigarette stocks last quarter - SMOKIN' HOT! (Everyone nervous and smoking like hell)
yeah....WHERE did i say Trump got 170 Million Votes...I mention the 77 Million that VOTED for him PLUS (I know it can be hard to read Math Signs) the 100 Million Voters that sat at home....i guess that is actually 90 Million Voters that sat at home.
Well said! I wish this happened in the first Trump presidency. No federal employees would have voted for him. Wealthy people expecting economic boom would not have supported him. He just made many retirement funds lost so much.
It's a sale..
Bet heavy on the short. Manipulate a crash. Double your money. Roll your profits into buying the now cheap stocks to pay zero taxes on your short bet windfall. Repeal the tariffs. Stocks go back up. Repeat in 30-60 days.
You should debate Martin Shkreli! He is such a dummy and he thinks all of this is great, we really need to get people like him and go face to face and tell him to stfu, I am willing to debate him, is anyone else? DM me bc I want to do this. He streams often. I can make it happen.
Let’s put that aside for a minute that fucking asshole, the POTUS did not attend the dignified transfer of our Ford dead soldiers today in Dover AFB. He went to a Saudi LIV golf tournament instead.
He has not even mentioned them publicly since they were missing.
This is going to intensify the pressure on Trump admins to destroy federal infrastructure, because they cannot go to another election, because they cannot win. Too many people will have been disillusioned. People may have wrong ideas about who "bureaucrats" are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79_n1FKZwHo
It all matters. No resistance is futile. But there are a lot of people who are not aware of how serious many people are in bureaucratic jobs. The video is worth a watch if you haven't watched it, because Lewis knows what he is talking about. Mid-level bureaucrats are what uphold the Constitution.
My concern is political awareness of the populace.
These are not Tariffs. This isn’t economic policy. This is a loyalty test used as a political weapon to eliminate opponents, and prevent future elections.
If we see this clearly, we can stop him. Public mobilization is working.
“Thin air” = insatiably greedy fascist billionaires’ bloodthirsty pockets, loopholes they rigged for themselves, & foreign & offshore accounts? Well practiced 1% grift/theft/trick 4 decades…this time they r taking it all tho?
Such self-inflicted carnage to retiree 401k & IRA accounts is horrible! As recent retiree, this has me very worried, thinking I’ll be forced to re-start work at 67 🤬
Working class ppl generally don’t have wealth in stocks. It’s only rich ppl.
Tariffs will bring investment back so workers can make a better wage. Maybe even mom can stay at home with the kids, teach em right…so they don’t become commie retards.
The "Club" wants you ignorant, hateful,stressed,poor,desperate, and sick. This is how they control you. It's rigged against us. It's always been. We're the "marks".
Good day. It’s so nice to see a reply from someone who shares my love of passion fruit ice cream. I was going to make a bad joke about sharing my “passion” but there are more than enough bad dad jokes on this site. 🙏💜💜
The actions of the current administration are beyond reckless and causing real harm to the economy. My retiremwnt plan has lost a significant amount and I'm surprised the general population isn't angrier. Meanwhile Russia and it's allies seem to get a pass. Who is our President really serving?

When he started fucking things up in February people started organising marches in April.
It's the most civilised attempt at civil disobedience.
Anything to bring down a government needs to be spontaneous and impossible to ignore.
It needs EVERY SINGLE person to go out.

Where’s my wallet?
Is every Pensioner(age) given $401,000 dollars when they retire, to do with what they wish.
If they spend it all, what happens then?
177 MILLION Americans....that is the number who VOTED for this PLUS THE NUMBER THAT SAT AT HOME....

At least I can read.
People, don't listen to the lies on this platform.
I retired last year, primarily b/c our finance guy gave our situation a 99% probability to meet our goals.
Meeting with him in a week or so...should be interesting LOL
