Yes, name the game. "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)
Quote of the day:
The Economist magazine today said the president had "committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded."
Unions or trade guilds will be the response to larger corporations. It is economics based on controlling your "place" in business.
Corps have been largely predatory, unions have been a group motivated to work for fraternity, good working conditions, and a fair sharing of profits.
So something closer to medieval guilds.. or Heinlein's 'Starman Jones' approach.. protecting the profession by restricting who gets in, even if it means deliberately obfuscating matters to prevent the 'layfolk' from learning 'Guild secrets'.
Unions, guilds used to teach the skills, hands-on of how to do quality work, efficiently. Unions are based on the type of work that you do, companies hire, Unions create a commonality for people to unite.
We have reached the cultish confluence of Trump Casino and Trump University, the point at which believers lose vast amounts of money while learning nothing from the experience.
Been to Grant’s Pass and the surrounding areas. Can confirm. It’s amazing when toothless meth addicts scream about the “freeloading illegals” when they haven’t worked since high school, live off govt subsidies, and smoke dope for a living.
I guess US citizens should get used to the idea of having our visas and requests for asylum denied. No mercy for people that did not even bother to protest. Yeah....and about those visas.......
Trump's Personality Disorders DEMANDs that he punish/destroy anyone that hurt his ego in any way. The American people voted him out in 2020, and not all MAGA's stormed the capital on J6th. His boss Putin's plan is to destroy the USA.
It won’t the project 2025 plan is attached to Tariffs
The robber barons hired him as did Putin
It doesn’t matter to him
He will succeed in his mind
To us it will brutalize those who will find out slowly or quickly
who still have money in a bank
I have maintained since Trump 1.0 that you can’t run the Federal Government as a business. It is not a “for profit” business, never has been, never will be. Trump’s first term confirmed this, he tried these same tactics before, and he crashed the market and sent us into a recession. Just like now.
*Man who declared bankruptcy as a general practice* multiple, multiple times. It was happening 40+ years ago. It was happening when I visited AC over 20 years ago...it never stopped happening.
He actually bankrupted 5 casinos, but made money on all of them, because he only had to invest a small amount of money in them, people back then didn't know the real Donald Trump.
Let's not be hasty. There should be a congressional investigation supported by multiple working groups to come up with the framework for a study that will consider the options in advance of a formal committee review.
Democracies are always vulnerable to being threatened by their own system. The Nazis used democracy to gain power. We also have fascists in the Bundestag today who are trying to do this again. Therefore, it is so important to proactively address threats early on through laws and vigilance.
Putin, Heritage Society and tech broligarchs OWN Trump. They're calling the shots. Their goal is to cripple the economy and burn our democracy. This is an overt attack like D-day without sand. We need to see Trump as a Trojan horse; not a failed businessman
CNBC on in background / all I hear since this a.m - ‘self inflicted’…
All that this Trump is good at is destroying & breaking what was working just fine / & the majority of US is too cowardly to call him out on it - sorry if this offends people; but the whole bloody world is dealing w this BS
I’m getting sick and tired of farmers voting for Trump, then getting screwed by his economic policies, then taking huge bailouts for their silence. It’s our money you are taking. Maybe be a little more careful with your vote next time.
Not just once but twice 😑😒 it makes no sense whatsoever to have him over there and even less with his entourage 😐 from the bottom of my French self, I'm sorry and hope he and his cronies end on a metaphorical guillotine 😜
A convicted felon and rapist was ELECTED, likely fraudulently and he is now decimating the USA and other countries with tariffs. This will not end well.
We experimented with it 8 years ago and I can’t believe America chose this guy again. At least we know his covid free pass some Americans gave him was a farce.
I’ll eat my hat if those were all legit votes. Based on what Elon was trying to pull in WI, and comments from Trump at inauguration (despite his incoherence) suggest tampering.
Oh, trust and believe I completely agree with you. No candidate in history has ever said, “we don’t need votes.” Holding on to that is killing my mental health. Maybe it can be investigated when we have a functioning FBI.
Ayuh. I'd like to know how one can bankrupt a casino. A casino is a place where the business model is that people with a deficit in mathematical comprehension just give their money to the dealer.
Just amazing. Economy is being run into the ground by simpletons. Read this and you will have an exponentially more sophisticated understanding of trade deficits and macroeconomics than POTUS and his advisors. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/trade_deficit.asp
Trump's lie-State of the US under Biden :This is bad! The state of the US 2025: Insane Felon-"Project is going as planned. Big strong billionaire's tears in their eyes,"Sir,Thank you!The best Project ever$ Putin,My Man$ 🥰,pats my head."Good boy Benedict! Not a shot fired" Y'd he call me Benedict? 🤷♂️"
To bankrupt one casino is unfortunate. To bankrupt two is unlucky. Three, is looking like carelessness. Four, fraudulent. Five, is completely taking the piss.
Six, is typical Trump behaviour.
I would go farther and agree that the experiment of putting a literally insane man in charge of our economy is not going well and is going to get worse.
Can we please all agree that this German experiment of making amends for the Holocaust by supporting the genocide of occupied Palestinians by Israel is not going morally well at all?
He didn’t spend a lot of time in his Business school classes but he remembers a cool word like “Tariffs” that he uses voluminously to fool people into thinking he knows something.
FOX NEWS: Obama plays golf, in tan suit, for 2nd time in 9 months while Americans DIE because they can't afford groceries or healthcare. The stock market tanks for 4th straight week, costing billions for US companies & retirement plans. Biggest disgrace in American history by ANY sitting president.
Not as much as what FDR did, mind, but Obama's election.. and worse, his re-election.. were a stench in their nostrils and the impetus they needed to unsheath and wield America's Razor.
Since we wanted a guy to “run the country like a corporation”, this is like a CEO coming in one day and telling all of their suppliers to go fuck themselves.
That's always boggled me. How on earth can you go bankrupt owning a casino? A business that is designed to keep 98% of the money deposited in it. (voluntarily given, mind you)
The folks lined up to support, at times seem blindingly incomprehensible, especially those that take hard lines against lets say, Canada is beyond my understanding.
The Lying King says tariffs are good for the economy!
But what he is doing is illegal that’s the homily!
The stock market is plummeting thanks to him!
The only one making money is Muskrat, The Lying King and their friends!

SIX TIMES
The Economist magazine today said the president had "committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded."
They cannot win with superior arguments or policies, so they will grab their torches and burn it all down out of spite.
And Trump and Musk coo to their rage and blow open the graft floodgates amidst the devastation.
Hmmmmm.
And here we are.
Just what is it going to take for America to remove the imbecile in the Oval Office?

Even with the jails full, police and FD unfunded due to lack of taxes, and towns falling apart, they keep electing Rs/Ms to represent them.

That was cathartic.
In USA they are elected President
Because at least half of voting Americans don't believe that.
They're just FINE with it.
Dangerous to look over the top too early. The front line catches the bullets.
They may stir themselves before total meltdown. I hope they don’t misjudge the moment.

NOT
Unless Elon notices and scraps the whole thing.
That really nice lady with the Indian and Jamaican parents wanted to help us but somehow we said no….
He was able to bankrupt TWO casinos.
Don’t make him sound less dumb than he is. 🤣
4 of his 6 bankruptcies were casinos
This never should've been allowed to happen.
Biggest failure of our imperfect Democracy.

American citizens who voted for Trump don’t deserve to have a voting rights 🤬
And yeah… it’s just not working out 😒

I also found out yesterday that Trump didn’t in fact bankrupt a casino 🎰. He bankrupted six casinos which is even worse!!
“Are we having fun yet ?”
#TrumpIsTheGrifterInChief
My PM of Quebec just said that Trump now, don't need help from anyone to hurt himself.
Fuck you MF felon47.
Stating the problem is the first step...
Not a difficult market to navigate, folks.
Six, is typical Trump behaviour.
Not as much as what FDR did, mind, but Obama's election.. and worse, his re-election.. were a stench in their nostrils and the impetus they needed to unsheath and wield America's Razor.
Because:
Golf, not groceries. Not gas.
It's disproving the hypothesis of his capacity to run the county pretty thoroughly.
