I just made a meme about penguins being mad at us because of tariffs, and it's based in actual reality, so yeah... if anything "oof" and "JFC" are actually downplaying things. 🥺
It turns out that with years of special training anyone can learn to read this graph, but I can translate if you put your all points in other stats: shit’s bad!
I love it. Seems like it's the only time they have even an inkling of what it's like for the rest of us. It's like, 'what's wrong bud? Can't pretend everything's fine unless the line goes up?'
My soon to be retired mother in law has her 403(b) all on cash, because "Biden will crash the economy." She's still in cash, because "Traitors will sabotage Trump." I hate that she's gonna survive this fine.
Trust the vibes of the nerds.

Watching economists react to this reminds me of seeing & hearing the fear of doctors & scientists being interviewed when Covid first started spreading.
There are very few things that almost all economists agree on; broad-based tariffs being bad is one of them. Usually if an economist is in favor of a tariff, it's a left-wing one advocating for protection of a fledgling industry in a developing country.
Other finance people in real life: Here’s a graph of today and here’s a graph of the stock market crash of 1929. Corporate has asked me to find the difference in these two pictures.
He’s probably going to take them all away as soon as everybody lines up to praise him so the numbers were all generated by AI and he won’t enforce them more than the time it takes to get a phone call begging the mob boss to not kill their grandchildren basically

Imagine you spend your whole life studying agriculture, then some dumb fucks put JD Vance in charge of your farm
When enough billionaires get fed up with Trump’s bullshit, it’ll bounce back.
People planning to retire soon may be screwed, however.
I think you're mixing us up with Minnesota or the youppers.

But when do I get my $1 million DOGE rebate check from the 50% Pentagon cuts now that there is peace in Ukraine and Palestine?

This is a bloodbath.
We are truly all equal now
I told corporate they were the same picture.
All we get is a man who seems to have a mouth that always looks like it's approaching a bottle nipple.
