The 𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕 is formidable, and the market turbulence is far from over. Brace yourselves—pain looms ahead before they either gulp down the 𝑲𝒐𝒐𝒍-𝑨𝒊𝒅 or face the hard reckoning, boarding the flight back to reality (à la Jim Jones' People's Temple).

As Mark Cuban posted, a smart move now is to purchase non perishable consumables that we know we will be needing for say the rest of this year. I'm trying to figure out what some good ones to buy are. Some things, like the new sneakers that I know I'll need soon, I'm also going to buy now.

You got what the MAGA morons asked for, no, demanded. Work with it.

A lot more than that if you looks at people’s losses on 401k’s or retirement investments. It’s A LOT MORE than $3800.

This orange clown is nothing more than an empty barrel making a lot of noise spreading fear and insults and if people like @jessicadenson07.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social standing up to him the only thing he is able to is threatening them.
He is also a very dangerous man

It is a tax by any other name!

I assume that's $3,800 *before* adjusting for inflation, stock market sabotage, mass layoffs, higher junk fees, earned benefit checks not showing up

American exceptionalism has never been more apparent than it is right now. The US has degraded itself and is disintegrating as a democracy at lightning speed.
Absolutely in a class by itself.
No other nation could have fucked up so bad, so fast.
Goodbye Lady Liberty.

OK, so the US doesn't even have the climate to grow coffee beans, but does have a reliance on a "cup of joe" to wake everyone up in the morning so they can go to work. I don't see that working out well.

It seems like this number will be a lot higher.. think about home, auto insurance, drugs, hospital stays, doctors, books and virtually all that we buy will go up.

I feel like this number is generous.

I get the sense American voters are super interested in clothing factory jobs coming back to America.

I’m at Social Security I don’t know where the hell I’m supposed to come up with $3800. Ever since she got in the office every month I go shopping I get less than less.

I did a big grocery stock up today & was explaining all the things that were going up to the checkout girl. Spices, coffee, chocolate, tea, vanilla. “You’ve got to stop lecturing people” my husband sighed later.

Council of Economic Advisers head Kevin Hassett published Dow 36,000 in 1999 when the Dow was 10,273. It hit 36,000 in Nov 2021‼️

The Dow peaked last fall at 45,000. His 36,000 forecast might come true again --thanks to tariffs Hassett preaches on TV shows. He is again the most full of 💩economist‼️

Call it what it is: the Republican National Sales Tax

Let's debunk 3 billionaire myths:

🤑"70% tax takes all income!"
False—it only applies to income over $10 million a year.

🤑"Taxing rich is radical!"
70% of Americans support it.

🤑"Wealth tax is unconstitutional!"
Nonsense—we already tax homes via property taxes.
