So remember, as you watch your 401K sink, look at the bright side: those dollars have way less value than they used to.

Every damned word of this 4-graf brief, except “By WSJ Staff,” should scare the bejeesus out of you this morning.

6 months ago….

bubbanyarlathotep.bsky.social•72 days ago

Everything we already know, but the fact that WSJ are allowed to say it is the surprising thing.

upthehillbkwrm.bsky.social•72 days ago

I spoke of this a week ago. Japan and other countries selling back their US Bonds which if not resold then our dollar loses value. So not only higher prices but our dollar buys less. Am I right ?

muellershewrote.com•72 days ago

Yup

Imagine how travelers the world over would love to come to America as the exchange rate begins to favor their currency, but they don't dare step foot on American soil.

I am in England and pension down 10%. Basically back to last October. In the grand scheme of things not to bad but basically self inflicted. Who in their right mind does that. The orange baboon knows how to turn people in a different direction.. People will invest in less volatile markets for sure.

"unchartered territory?"

Ah, some good news for a change!

J Curve economics?
Is this what they are doing?

Speaking of Dollars having less value...

The Dollar Tree is charging its name to the $47 Dollar Tree in honor of Donald Trump. So much Winning!

Always looking on the bright side

krustyjuggler.bsky.social•72 days ago

I didn't want to give the Mar a Lago Accord theory any credence, but either it appears to be true, or they're sleepwalking into it.

laurasilverbow.bsky.social•72 days ago

Less is more! 🤣

cosmosxx.bsky.social•72 days ago

Why isn’t all this seen as war against the US by a domestic terrorist?

muellershewrote.com•72 days ago

Because that’s Congress’ call. And, well…

usasunder.bsky.social•72 days ago

My 'bejesus' has allready checked in to Bellvue.

tbrd60.bsky.social•71 days ago

Your 401k is a financial portfolio. Learn how to manage it. If you lost a lot of money it’s because you trusted the wrong financial advisor.🤔

nk80-ga.bsky.social•71 days ago

I also take solace in the fact the money disappearing from my account is direct deposited into a billionaire’s.

qlm326.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yup, Trump wants to diversify our losses.

rebeccastrange.bsky.social•71 days ago

If I had any savings or retirement I’d be very concerned right about now 😂

The real waste, fraud, and abuse are Musk, Trump, & Miller.

Bond and stock prices are moving in the same direction

NOT GOOD

christhecatmom.bsky.social•71 days ago

Just think, yesterday it was our 401Ks, today it’s the FDIC! They are literally going to steal our futures & our current security in our savings. And the Rethuglicans in Congress are going to allow the total destruction of our country!

vernbob.bsky.social•72 days ago

That's some very dark sarcasm right there. 🫤

Incredibly thankful this last week that I moved a decent part of my finite discretionary spending into a new deep freezer and extra stores of food.

Bread doesn't fluctuate in value - a loaf of bread is a loaf of bread and has the same calories in every economy.

Wasn’t Deutsche Bank the one that loaned Trump all that money decade to go?

As a millennial I’m tired of getting ass fucked at every stage of my life.

Seriously, can I just get some fucking peace and quiet for a while?

taurusbutterfly.bsky.social•72 days ago

ugh! Trump tanking the American economy is ugly for ALL Americans.

thatguyyouhate6111.bsky.social•72 days ago

My biggest hope around this is that, in the next elections, people FINALLY accept that conservatives were NEVER better with the economy than Dems were.

How many times does history have to repeat itself before the majority accept this?

Conservatives were NEVER better with the economy!

cencalmike.bsky.social•72 days ago

But there are still the Dem trannies coming for their guns, Bibles and children. Ask any Fox talking head. We are talking about people armed with...unapproved books.

muellershewrote.com•72 days ago

Not sure what your point is. This piece is extremely critical of Trump.

skonnieblue.bsky.social•72 days ago

Critical…for now

Ranty crashes our economy while the Republicans fret over what bathrooms people use.

That’s a ‘bright side’!!!?

@muellershewrote.com

Even if it is satire its not logical.

Prefered Bidenomics to this economic suicide based on complete ignorance and vengence.

bhagwancosmiclight.bsky.social•71 days ago

The global ponzi started in the 80’s came full circle. $38 trillion is due that the corporate mafia charged on its global credit card to create 3000 oligarchs with 90% of the money. They will give the ponzi bag of debt to Americans who got rich for two generations but traded in a future with cages

Putin is doing a great job of destroying America from the inside.

This shit is infuriating. Insider trading? Conflicts of interest? Out the window. Zero ethics on board with these fuckers.

what is "unchartered territory"? territory that doesn't have a charter? WSJ editorial standards have fallen.

It’s “Schotz” not ”Sch@tz”

I asked someone who would know.

ddnmia.bsky.social•72 days ago

Unfortunately, It makes maga and the GOP happy. Going broke for trump is the ultimate loyalty test and they are very eager to prove their loyalty. Maga voters are still flying their flags high in middle America. They want to show their support.

fortynorth.bsky.social•72 days ago

The sum of Pres.Trump’s daily policy whiplash and Karoline Leavitt’s non-lawyer misinformation about legal matters continues at a numbing pace.Constant churn and epistemic closure created by the White House. Their purposeful closed system of false deduction is unaffected by empirical evidence.

libpatriot.bsky.social•71 days ago

Too late WSJ…. Or should I say, the propaganda arm of the Murdoch family!
