Whoa whoa whoa.
You’re upset that the stocks are doing well today?
You’re not doing any … drugs are you?
Apparently he no longer loves Mammon. The workin man no longer relies on the capitalist deceit which was his trust fund.

It's more than just the stock market though, it's the prices of everything raising astronomically due to Trump's tariffs.

What price has risen astronomically? Everything? Chicken Little much?

They [Dude, RA, and HeisHere] are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

We will see the effects soon. Grocery prices will increase, since he's putting all those tariffs on China the cost of electronics will probably double

You said the prices have already gone up. Shouldn't you at least wait until they do before making such a claim. We know that the price of eggs is down. I personally am paying less for insurance by a very significant amount. So what you claim is false at the moment.

Not going to lie though, if I had like Elon musk money. I might think about leaving.
Maybe move to a country that doesn't demonize science so much.
You were talking about leaving back in 2016, also. The mother ship was ready to come and get you and everything!

Because for most Americans it's basically impossible to leave the country. But if I had the money ,I probably would
Maybe Holland or switzerland.

If I remember correctly -and I'm pretty sure I do- you were speaking of wanting to go somewhere where there were no Trump supporters, and I don't think such a place exists on earth... That is why the mothership was going to come and get you.

The Christians that support Trump either lack discernment or have a defective moral compass. Those of us that oppose him clearly saw what was coming.
Speak for yourself. Plenty of Christians helped Clinton get elected the second time, no one named called them or questioned their faith.

Meh, we had a good economy under Bill clinton. It's always Republicans who tank the economy
Dems have been more in power than out of power the last how many years? Clinton only won because he moved to the middle, today he'd be considered conservative.

Well you better check first. My aunt is Danish and you can't move there unless you're married to a Dane. They forgot to tell people that one.

They probably suffered from the same lack of moral compass.

I'd wager a lot of people here voted Clinton in the second time. They wouldn't admit it for the life of them. When it comes down to it the pocketbook meant more than what a president did in the oval office.

The empire’s bleeding out, and these morons are slapping a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound, calling it a win. :unsure:

They sold us this tariff gambit as some grand chess move, re-industrialize America, slash interest rates on short-term bonds, flex on China like a badass in a bar fight. “Genius!” they crowed. “Masterful!” they cheered.

Well, how’s that working out? Spoiler: it’s a dumpster fire.
Re-industrialization? Still a pipe dream, those crony capitalists in Trump’s orbit aren’t sinking their billions into factories today any more than they were last week. In fact, they’re probably laughing harder now, counting their profits from the chaos.

Short-term bond rates? Shooting up, not down, meaning Uncle Sam’s shelling out more to borrow, not less. :unsure:
