The federal government employs millions of people. It now has a hiring freeze for no real economic reason given ppl all over the world is buying our bonds. And it is furloughing and retiring thousands. What will that do to the economy? MAGA loves chaos.
We moved essentially everything to bonds last week. If you were a fed with 10-15-20 years I'm sure you'd think real hard about moving to a safe spot. Market crash and job loss would be a killer. No retirement. No healthcare. Bad economy. And that 100k or whatever is wiped out.
I don’t think most Americans even know there is a bond market, that there are international bonds, or how they affect finance. I seriously doubt maga-ists understand bonds.
Thankful that President Biden was able to keep our country the "Envy of the World" while he was in office instead of the "Enemy of the World" while dictator Donnie is occupying space in the Oval office.
$$$ screams. It really does. When maga citizens start losing significant amounts in investment portfolios, paying even more for essentials, a shift will happen.
Nowadays, with social media & ppl. believing more podcast “celebrities” than actual journalism/facts, it’s on each & everyone of us to get informed. Unfort., many ppl. keep drinking the kool-aid. I say to my kids to believe half or less than what they see on their phones, or to ask whenever in doubt
I’m glad I got the car last year. Driving is going to become a luxury when those tariffs echo through the auto pricing. Bet we’ll see a lot of home gardeners this Summer too. Insurance rates will follow…we’re doooomed 🤣🤷🏽♂️
Trump has bankrupted 6 companies, Obama’s economy & working on Biden’s RECORD PRODUCING economy. MAGAts are just born losers. They had a winning president to get behind, instead that brought back business destroyer, Donald Trump. A bigot will always consider their bigotry # 1 and maybe family 2nd
Every f-in time. And never get the credit. What angers me the most is how Biden steadily built back the economy with great legislation and policies at all levels domestically. CHIPS freaking act to feed tech. Student loan relief. The damn Biden bucks for all families with children after COVID.
And @cnbc.com parades on Sach’s and Bass , who became billionaires in such a formerly broken America. Now they cheer on musk cutting funding for the poor and disenfranchised and for so many other vital programs. Sickening.
He had his flaws by holding on to power too long, but I agree that he was a good, moral, and honest president, completely the opposite of what we are dealing with now.
I am a special education teacher in a public school. I have taught special needs children for the past 22 years. Never have I feared for the security of my position until now. Even a “temporary pause,” once Trump/Musk set aim at the DOE seems so demoralizing for students and teachers! Terrifying!
We raise cattle his tariffs sent our markets down they were getting better feeder cattle up all day Friday until he announced tariffs Monday…as you can see all the grains down also
Somehow the public claimed to not know and legacy media paid it rare attention.
Trump always equals chaos, chaos trumps uncertainty, the phrase used every day during Obama's 2 terms on CNBC, uncertainty, they rarely if ever say it now.
A. Because is has been a solid investment. B. Because the US system has private profits but public risk. Business could stand up on its own and be more self reliant.
You’re way off base here. WSJ news is top notch unbiased and factual news. WSJ Opinion is an entirely different matter. The Opinion/editorial side of the WSJ is an entirely separate organization full of hacks. https://newsliteracy.wsj.com/news-opinion/
On top of that, neither of the headline screenshots in the original post are pro Trump, if anything they’re anti Trump. The economy came out of the pandemic/inflation (under Biden) in an enviable position compared to many countries, people are now souring on it with Trump.

We need a President Musk article in there. Even if only an op ed....
Trump is going to end up causing a recession due to his idiotic policies.
"Asian fund managers --- how to avoid any potential wipe-outs in a headline-driven market"
As expected. Yawn.

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Light on the ‘fa’ and heavy on the ‘FO’.
The wealthy should soon realize they’re on the same sinking ship and no amount of money will save them.

They kept implying that the "Democrats" were overreacting, the Trump apologists "had good points", and wage increases were bad.
Mind blowing.
PROVE ME WRONG
Fuck the @wsj.com
They choose who they give their platform to. And they chose to repeatedly give one to fascist apologists.
So no. They can fuck off
