My grandmother also live through the depression. She would save half a cracker with some cheese on it for the next day. I don't think I saw her waste a morsel of food in 30 years.

It wasn't even the tax cuts i feel like those covid checks with his name on them really sealed the deal.

Yea thats the funny conversation on Bloomberg from last week. Do we hit the -10% contraction in GDP before we get 2 quarters of negative growth? We shall see. Hopefully people remove their politicians before the elections or inspire them to unfuck the global economy.

When you say 'don't rely on the stock market directly' you're aware of the second and third order effects from a market crash right?

The president just crashed the market harder than Covid for no reason, and you're telling me i need less volatile investments? What investment would that be out of curiosity?

I know that was not what BLM wanted. Im just pointing out the result of populist outcry that lacks a call to action in government policy. Words are nice but they are better when they are presented as legislation for change. Like the civil rights act.

You're not the victim. We paid for 12 years of your schooling and you shit the bed in Math, history, critical thinking, and most importantly Civic duty. Since we our way past acknowledging our individual civic duty to protect democracy I say....

COMMUNIST REVOLUTION WEN?

She'd have my vote in that case. But to have her as Majority leader in the senate would be huge. people undermine the importance of the senate. but i guess the senate does too. If we can take back our congress we can impeach trump and reverse all these outrageous executive orders that are just starting to hurt people.

Organized, consistent and ya you're right we probably need 10% of the country protesting by the summer.

Civili rights movement protests. not holding little signs and speeches.

Defund the police was not my favorite. Now I have MAGA criminal running rampant and the police are infact defunded.

Get rid of trump is an easy message we can all agree on. With obvious political answers like we will remove members of congress by an means necessary.

the deep irony of slashing pensions for 401k claiming that americans could invest better for their own retirement. They are not cheering crashing 401ks and rushing to cut social security like they also have a concept of a plan for retirement.

buddy 401k contributions come out of your paycheck. you can't equate one with the other. Most people usually check the box to take taxes and contributions out of their paycheck and don't consider their retirement account emergency savings.

the point your missing is it often is. and it usually equates to to stock market losses. So stock market crashes are when the rich make the poor poorer.

Yet here you poors go cheering on everyones grandma to starve to death. Far left and far right horseshoe death cult assemble.

Correct. Which makes sense when you consider home prices have gone up alot in the last 20 years, and an unaware investors portfolio is probably being slowly bled off by covering the mortgage of that house every time we go into a recession which is basically on a 2 year cycle now.

So yes you are right, and you are so smart and a very good boi. But you are missing the bigger picture of American wealth distribution. Missing out on how jobs are tied to the market, income is needed for investment and selling investments when you lose your job and they are down 50% just shoots most of the country into poverty.

Surprise its the great depression!

50% of the country has a 401k and like 40% has an IRA.. They are not worth much, that is the point the poor people can't afford to get more poor, the rich people can. they've realized theres nothing else their money can buy so their happy to destroy the world out of boredom. And you cheer them on.

yo go read the comments under the new Snow White movie and the reviews and tell me that’s not Trump voters. You tell me that this man is wrong and that these people weren’t so upset about a couple of movies that they voted to destroy the lives of 8 billion people.

go ask any Republican why they voted Trump and they will say something about trans people something about woke something about Covid something about good for the stock market

Yea my boomer mom was a teacher most of her life and barely made enough to raise 2 kids. that’s usually who I think of when people are talking shit about Rich boomers hoarding wealth 😂

I think the blame rest solely on the 78 million people or so that showed up to vote for Donald Trump. And maybe the 40 million or so people that didn’t show up to vote at all.

Yea lmaoo just like 2009 when we all got bank loans and bought tons of distressed real estate.

oh wait it’s nothing like that because we don’t have a housing bubble where strippers own five homes

I love how many people are advocating and celebrating for 50 million elderly Americans to become homeless. You guys couldn’t eat the rich if I put them in front of you with some condiments. couldn’t find the rich fucking if Luigi was pointing a gun at them.

The whole Trump administration is ran by putting up some stupid stat and getting some stupid people angry about it and then we encourage a stupid plan to go through that hurts the angry people even more making them more angry and dangerous. we’re only 90 days in people let’s get it together

Which is actually good this year because tourism is already down 30% and im too poor to travel. They would more than likely have lost their jobs by end of summer.

Promote AOC to senate!
