If a Democratic president presided over an 8% market drop in his first 75 days in office the entire front page of every major newspaper would be full of stories about how bad Democrats are for the economy

Remembering when Bloomberg ran the "100% chance of recession" headline three weeks before the midterms (there was no recession as it turns out) https://bsky.app/profile/supern0thing.bsky.social/post/3lko6qfc55c2x

The business press has been full of “the economy and policy might look like they’re on the verge of disaster but if you BUY NOW this market will go straight to the moon” stories desperately trying to talk the economy out of a recession.

Pretty insane shift from "recession will 100% hit any day now" for 3 years

The most tepid, milquetoast criticism

That headline doesn't even make sense grammatically! If you are saying "XYZ is worth the cost," then "XYZ" is by definition a benefit, which is worth the cost. A recession is ALSO A COST!

Yeah it is. Crashing the economy and replacing our democracy with a #Christo-FascistAuthoritarianKleptocracy is the intent of #FatHitler and the #FascistGOP.

I honestly assume the media and Republican politicians don't criticize Trump because they are scared they will be murdered by radical Trump supporters.

Some do. Some are just absolutely thrilled that fascism has finally come to America and they don't have to pretend to care about all of the terrible little people anymore.

lordjuiblex.bsky.social•2 days ago

As a terrible little Canadian, I find that upsetting.

The drop is also being directly caused by decisions the President is making! This isn't like, OPEC deciding to put the screws to somebody!
