Congress and SCOTUS are both hopelessly compromised/will not help us. They have bent the knee just as some news agencies, law firms, corps, the wealthy.
The only peaceful way to stop this is for someone to step up and allow for an emergency nationwide vote to replace tRump and those enabling him.
The stock market does fuck all for the working class it's existence insists we all work ourselves to death for it when number go down the working class loses everything but the capitalist class gains wealth and power
They only lose a number on a screen temporarily https://youtu.be/_Y_4wdx0vfI?si=CVSjdfSGm9Ycv6QX
Usually Presidents don't have that much acute direct impact on the economy. But in recent history, Biden has directly impacted our economy positively & Donald is directly impacting our economy negatively. https://youtu.be/izljanGbnDA
Thought they said, "Better the devil you know than the one you don't," Did you not know trump from a previous term? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
If you rate your economy solely on stock market reports, you're ignoring the labourers who did all the work. Trump is a nightmare, but Biden administration was not helping the working class Americans one bit.
Welcome to sociopathic economics. Trump is shaking down the world. And we thought Bond villains were unrealistic. He used our fear of the Others to overide our common sense. "We have met the enemy, and he is us." -- Pogo
Donald used to cuck but since his flaccid impotence he hasn't had his wife in over a decade Like all base instincts he's fixated and without discipline acted in accordance That microphone blow job being an old man who forget himself he's on the losing side of a cuck today 😆
Ever notice that when everything is running well, that people get bored with it, and want a change to shake things up? Well, folks, you got what you wished for. You took a great country and turned it into a banana republic overnight. You are also dragging the rest of the world down with you.
Fun Story: I recently saw exactly one BLM sign at a local protest. I asked the gal where everyone was. Her response was "it's not a black issue". I responded with shock but still managed to say "it will be".
This going high while they constantly go low is not working...
They are done. They fought like hell in the last election in support of the best right intelligent candidate and the racists chose tRump. They are sittin’ this out rightfully so because white people created it!
It's not a black issue because they did what they were supposed to do. If they showed up en masse right now, do you think these protests would be met with little to no police like they are right now?
I think it is amazing how many people showed up. That this morning tRump's reaction to the protests is not even making the news, markets are still tanking and the world thinks all but about 5 million of us are assholes; Is a bit concerning.
Bidenomics
Support unions
Make wealthy pay some taxes
Fix bridges, roads, lead water pipes poisoning children with American made union material and labor
Build factories in key industries of the future such as semiconductors, batteries, EVs
Don't be insane
Stability. Growth. Opportunity for businesses of all sizes, including startups. Better than full employment with real numbers. Clean industries thriving. Inclusivity as a plus in the marketplace. Avoiding a recession. Getting inflation under control despite resistance from some bigger companies.
Better? Yes. But it's the Dow Jones. I will always hate this metric because it doesn't really speak about how Small-town America is doing. And that's in great part how We got where we are.
How did almost nobody in media that reaches ma and pa recliner push back against their absurd "this is a horrible economy" claims? Millions of Americans believed the Biden economy was a disaster, instead of the record-breaking achievement that it actually was.
Because it was a disaster. Market was up because foreign money was moving domestically but if you look at valuations they had no fundamental basis to be so high. Moreover, SVB got full bailout, but regional bank in Kansas only got FDIC insured payouts. Take away deficit spending and u get recession
Look at BLS reports. 2024 fiscal year 11 out of 12 initial reports were subsequently revised down. Private sector FT jobs down over 1M, but net FT jobs up because of government hiring. VA and FHA foreclosures halted & now ppl get 40 yr mortgages while they had multiple forbearance.
Fair point, but reductive. My livelihood, and that of a whole lot of people in somewhere around midlife, depends on a combination of these. Also, not for nothing, the worked wages crowd are about to be ground into Soylent Green under these ghouls.
I guess not, but man, I thought more older Americans had a vested interest in the stock market than apparently do, what with pensions being largely choked out under Reagan.
Because "others" thrived. Psychological adaptation (add personal insecurity, lack of empathy, and projection) to deprive other groups of resources. The idea that power dynamics "allow" other groups to share in what they consider "their" resources, decreasing their chances of survival. America.
Bidenomics. Reaganomics.
Everyone thinks Trump is doing this either because he's really stupid or he's intentionally trying to hurt the US. What if he really believes his tariffs will work? With his yuge ego & NPD, he could be doing this so people will talk about Trumponomics.
We know Trump loves slapping his name on stuff. He could be thinking "for the next 100 years people will be talking about Trumponomics?" Would he risk destroying the US & the world for that? Hell yeah!
You know a word that starts with an “f” and ends with a “k” that the ruling class uses when they want to screw their employees out of a defined pension? 401k.
You should care. The DOW is one of the main indicators of economic health and 9/10 if the DOW is consistently lower, then a recession is brewing. If people can't afford things right now, then imagine how bad a recession is gonna be.
You are correct. My point was: Liberals no longer know how to message to the working class. My mistake was: assuming Meidas has any interest in reaching those at the bottom of the economic ladder.
It's a good thing Schumer voted to keep the government open. Otherwise, all the headlines would be asking if Democrats are to blame for stocks falling.
I have been thinking the same thing. Completely different narrative otherwise. And that matters because it will be harder for Trump to pass bad bills. When that hits is a question. Are his polls low enough to stop the evil budget bill? I hope so.
Bring back Bidenomics for sure! Also bring back the stability and wisdom. Anyone who needs to be on TV five or six days a week has serious problems. “ oh, look at me, I’m on TV! Now my wife has purpose. “
Increasing social complexity creates greater capacity for boundless stupidity and a higher risk that some of us will be hoodwinked by charismatic imbeciles.
I don't trust him to competently do anything. So I don't think he did it as Putin's request. I think he legitimately thought it was a good idea and screwed it up like everything else he touches.
Much too late for that. Frankly at this point, happiness may well turn into still having some semblance of free & fair US elections during the 2026 mid-terms.
I cannot believe there are people who complain about the Biden years. Were they perfect? Of course not. But they were repairing a mess that was left for them and did a great job of it.
No. Don’t bring back Bidenomics. The economy was good for those who already had it good, everyone else fell further behind. The wealth disparity increased. We need a new economic paradigm that centers real economic gains for real people, not the elite gambling ring of the stock market.
Lastly, prices of things like groceries were up because of corporate greed. They hid behind the guise of Covid supply chain issues and kept raising prices without anyone controlling them. We had an option to this and as a country we chose the wrong one.
Biden didn’t do enough for the short term as unfortunately his administration’s big wins won’t see any benefits until 2027 at the earliest. We need to change the tax code to tax wealth, not income for the ultra rich.
It wasn’t because of Biden. The wealthy got wealthier because of Trump’s tax cuts he signed into law during his first term. Also, Congress, which has been held hostage by MAGA didn’t pass a single law to help regular Americans.
Sleepy Joe had a talented team. Deceitful Donald has idiotic bootlicker Lutnick and lap dog Bessant who hasn’t resigned despite destroying any reputation he had while watching DD wreck Biden’s economy. Give Bill Clinton credit for a surplus and let’s figure out how to pay down the debt. Tax breaks?
Sadly only shows how Trump and Cronies used propaganda to win the election by telling supporters every day how lousy the economy was. How it was a disaster and as always he was projecting. Coastal guys with $300 Yeti coolers complaining about inflation. Now you’ll have to fish to eat for real !
The crashing stock market is BY DESIGN. F45 and his Russian masters want a depression to happen. Opportunity to transfer the wealth from the US (and other democracies) to them. That’s also why they want crypto as the currency standard.
I never understood why people were blaming Biden for grocery prices. Businesses blamed the high prices on supply chains during Covid, then never brought them back down when difficulties eased—which was evident in their blowout earnings reports. Guess FOX News neglected that part.
The thing was, Biden was smart enough to assemble the best & brightest and let them do their work. This time around daf donold is surrounded by weak and grossly unqualified people who will keep telling him how great he is no matter how bad it gets.
I miss the good old Joe days when the news was:
Joe stopped at an ice cream shop today
Joe and Jill went biking in Delaware today
Joe passed ans signed legislation to help people!
There's a reason democrats have an approval rating of 27% right now and this with Donald at the helm, destroying democracy and lives. Maybe we need to do something different?
I don't think you understand how the economy was for the working class and the poor. There's discontent for a reason. Stock market does not represent the working class. 18% increased homelessness in 2024. Record debt, no change in minimum wage since 2009. Poop is poop even if you put perfume on it.
I said the market does not reflect what is really happening on the ground for the working class. As a community RN in the trenches, it has gotten worse over the past 25 years.
This is the mistake Dems are making and why donold won imo. I've seen poverty in Vermont, I've never seen before. Minimum wage hasn't changed since 2009. Now that's insane and cruel.
Hey you can call it maga propaganda all you want but it remains that democrats have an approval rating of 27% ...maybe start thinking why instead of attacking people. Listen to those working with and for other humans. Especially healthcare professionals.
I live in a town of 6000 people and we have a tent city. Numbers don't lie honey. 18% increased homelessness in 2024, record credit card debt, record profit. You can rent a dilapidated 1978 mobile home for 1700$ a month and thats cheap right here in my small town. Rince & repeat. It's worked well.
To when you were just pissed off that your morning coffee cost a few cents more along with that tank of gas. Now you have to wonder if you will have anything left in that investment account at the end of the day as well....lol
We need to use anti-trust law against big media monoplies, who are really responsible for electing Trump, by giving him billions of dollars in free media coverage❤️
As of 0029 EDT The Dow futures are down another 2.6% or another 1,000 points. Please sir, stop! My 401k can’t handle all this winning. In more important news:
It cannot be overstated how fucking much I hate this timeline. And it didn't have to be this way. But too many people are too hateful, uneducated, and dumb, and billionaires are too greedy and immoral, and here we are.
Not everyone was doing well under Biden, but most people were doing better than they are now. We need to close some of the loopholes in tax codes and actually tax the rich.
Hey Meidas Touch, hope you give some attention to the Patriotic Millionaires Town Hall today about how to beat the broligarchs. It’s important information everyone needs to understand. Help get the message out there!
I gave biden a lot of shit but one thing I didn't give him shit for was his economy. Sadly, america is a uniquely sick country, and people refused to see how good we had it.
This fuck-wad is precisely why I now cannot purchase a home. Time to give the boot before renters and homeowners, alike - end up broke & homeless!!!! I’m sorry, but nobody is looking out for the classes below millionaire$ 🖕🏻
Bidenomics kinda sucked, but it was better than this shit. Fucking hell, anything is better than this shit. Just not making the problem /worse/ would be better than this shit.
I happen to know a lot of rich people and quite a few are not hateful or racist. Some are even incredibly nice and generous. While they will not be affected much by what is happening, their main concern is taxes and they want more money. They always want more.
If Joe had ensured Trump was prosecuted in timely fashion, he would be in prison now instead of destroying all of Biden’s achievements and the whole world order.
Bidenomics? Is that where billionaires double their net worth while almost everyone else's salary doesn't keep up with inflation? The system needs to fundamentally change.
You mean like now where billionaires are tanking the economy so they can quadruple their net worth while nobody’s salary goes up and everyone lost their life savings all that the same time?

They want instead a return to uncertainty, rising poverty, hate on the streets, and fighting over financial scraps with cudgels.
Fuck the lot of them. They fucked around….
Idiocy, carelessness, and incompetence frequently change history in consequential ways, but it’s far easier to break things than to fix them.
Shit would be on fire.
Should be permanent. And more fires.
Because NAZI's stick together, until the rope finds their necks.
This going high while they constantly go low is not working...
That said: Freedom has always cost the blood of patriots.
Is this all just to get the interest rates down?
And BTW... Just before announcing a major escalation in his tariff war, president Donald Trump freed up the sale of his Truth Social shares.

Being prepared and ready to act - seems better than not being so at this point in time.

The WORLD would be a much better place! 💙⚖⚖💙⚖💙⚖⚖
Because Trump just blared it out full bore day after effing day.
The class whose wealth comes from owned assets, and the class whose wealth comes from worked wages.
That first class had an amazing time under Biden, that second, and vastly larger class, didn't.
Everyone thinks Trump is doing this either because he's really stupid or he's intentionally trying to hurt the US. What if he really believes his tariffs will work? With his yuge ego & NPD, he could be doing this so people will talk about Trumponomics.
But, that isn't Project 2025's objective.
We were warned.
And once again, let down by the media and voters.
The Dow hitting a high is common.
Healthcare for Profit is not. Nor is raising the retirement age while life expectancy is falling.
"We the People" decided that he should run the country. He was always what he promised to be...we were warned...there was no "trick". #mirror
Waxing nostalgic is an opium of the masses...see 'Great Again'.
Increasing social complexity creates greater capacity for boundless stupidity and a higher risk that some of us will be hoodwinked by charismatic imbeciles.
It will take 5 minutes per call. Save this country and save the future for our children! Do it TODAY!
Congress switchboard: (202) 224-3121
I miss the politically sane and economic stability of the Biden administration.

Good stock markets can be good for everyone. Bad stock markets are always bad for everyone.
(Except for the super rich with cash to buy up everything).
Only 20 states actually use the federal minimum wage, and they're almost all deep red states.
Democrats keep raising the minimum wage and increasing worker protections.
MAGA propaganda works I guess
4 years of Harris would probably just kick the can down the road.
