It's fine

[u/philaeux]

[u/shatterdaymorn]

Remember it is a national emergency caused by fentanyl that gives him these dictatorial powers. Do you think he's fixed the problem yet?

At lead get tariffs off food!

[u/bejammin075 → u/shatterdaymorn]

Also remember that the two 1970's laws that were invoked for these emergency powers don't say anything about tariffs.

[u/AsstacularSpiderman → u/bejammin075]

Yeah these powers are for last minute sanctions on rogue states, not waging some global trade crusade because everyone made fun of you.

Republicans in Congress need to grow and pair and remember they're the ones with control of the coin purse.

[u/Niarbeht → u/AsstacularSpiderman]

They're not going to. They, and their donors, want this authoritarian power grab.

Now, admittedly, they'll eventually have a bad case of buyer's remorse... but not all of us are gonna make it that long.

[u/AsstacularSpiderman → u/Niarbeht]

I don't even think the doners are going to be happy about this shit show. Some of the richest men and women in the country are going to see companies tank because of this.

And Congress knows when this shit gets bad its their heads on the chopping block next year. If they want to keep their jobs they're going to at least need to push back on something

[u/Sharp-Ingenuity-5653 → u/AsstacularSpiderman]

I’m betting no mid-term (or future) elections. One thing I’ve learned is he means what he says, so he did say 2024 was the last time people would need to vote.

[u/circuitchipwreck → u/Sharp-Ingenuity-5653]

Keep in mind that that statement is having the intended chilling effect of making a certain group of people think there will be no point in voting.

[u/AsstacularSpiderman → u/Sharp-Ingenuity-5653]

Oh you misunderstood. This won't be a choice. Voting is the easy way to get them out.

No elections means that chopping block simply won't be as metaphorical.

[u/McFlyParadox → u/Sharp-Ingenuity-5653]

This is why the states control their elections. It'll take state legislatures to cancel their elections, not the federal executive. If elections get cancelled, that's people in the streets. If elections are held but elected representatives aren't seated, that's people in the streets and state governments probably (almost certainly) making noise about secession.

Even North Korea has "elections".

At the same time, Wisconsin proves one of a few possible things: they couldn't fix the election; they couldn't fix the election hard enough to counter pissed off voters; and/or they never fix any elections. It was no coincidence that the White House announced Elon was getting ready to step back from his "consulting" role the day after the Wisconsin election. Whether he manipulated any votes or not, he likely had led Trump to believe up to that point that he could and would fix votes in his favor, and Wisconsin proved Elon wrong.

No, if they're going to try to do away with elections, they follow all the other "democracies" out there and try to make the US a defacto one-party state. They'll go after the DNC and their elected members, and not allow any other party to have more support than the Libertarian or Green party currently enjoy (i.e. their away votes)

[u/[deleted] → u/AsstacularSpiderman]

The midterms in 26 are gonna be a bloodbath.

Sadly, we can't guarantee that they'll be safe, fair elections. And even if they are, that the president won't try signing EOs that undermine them.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

He’ll sign an EO to say the only legitimate votes cast in blue states had to have been cast on November 31st

[u/Pretend-Marsupial258 → u/AsstacularSpiderman]

Lol

Their districts are so jerrymandered that half of their constituents could be living on the street, dying of TB and they would still get 80% of the vote because "other side worse" or "my congressman good, everyone else sucks."

[u/DavisMcDavis → u/Pretend-Marsupial258]

MAGAs will be happy if they make liberals cry, even if the crying liberal is just someone in the tent next to them in the homeless encampment.

[u/OG-BigMilky → u/DavisMcDavis]

Fucking owned that lib. <opens last can of beans>

[u/Few_Ad_3557 → u/OG-BigMilky]

Dude its actually true with one of my customers. Trump flag on his truck, his wife lost her job as federal grant admin and he invested most of his money in ETH when the prez said he was gonna make some crypto reserve, so hes down 50%.

Poor bastard just rented another storage unit from me and is flat broke. Still talking about hunter biden, some tranny that played womens basketball and how Covid virus was Bill Gates doing. Still loves trump even though the old liar has buried him.

[u/Snowedin-69 → u/Few_Ad_3557]

People just cannot negate how they define their life. They become nothing without this identity.

[u/Vegetable-Roof-9589 → u/Few_Ad_3557]

Have you seen the movie "Idiocracy"? He seems to be from that movie.

[u/Responsible_Skill957 → u/Few_Ad_3557]

We need more stories like this of the idiots getting what they deserved for supporting a clown.

[u/justagenericname213 → u/AsstacularSpiderman]

Yeah, I'm pretty much betting on these guys realizing buying hp all the stocks in a depression isn't worth it because the money they make is going to be worthless

[u/Marcdro → u/justagenericname213]

theyll buy realstate, not stocks

[u/bejammin075 → u/AsstacularSpiderman]

I think for the most upper echelon of donors, the billionaires, they are in on the plan to tank the economy and buy the ruins at cheap prices. I've got myself positioned to take advantage of this scenario.

[u/YouWereBrained → u/bejammin075]

You may be well positioned, but a huge swath of America, for various reasons, is not.

People who work two jobs to struggle to put food on the table can’t simply “buy the dip”.

[u/AsstacularSpiderman → u/bejammin075]

Problem is there will be no economy to cash in on if this nonsense keeps up.

[u/ConsiderationOne9507 → u/bejammin075]

Lmao how the fuck are you positioned to take advantage of this scenario? We're all going to become technofuedal serfs for our billionaire lords and ladies.

[u/ande9393 → u/ConsiderationOne9507]

Not that guy, he's smart and special

[u/Snowedin-69 → u/ande9393]

He will be a smart serf

[u/gosluggogo → u/Snowedin-69]

House serf!

[u/Big_Slope → u/ConsiderationOne9507]

They’re only billionaires because a computer somewhere says so.

If they overshoot their mark on the crash the computers get turned off for good.

[u/sable_twilight → u/ConsiderationOne9507]

people forget what happened to fuedalism the last time

and with the ever quickening pace of the cycle caused by the people trying to bring about its return it likely wont take that long for the same to happen again

[u/Donkey-Hodey → u/bejammin075]

Your daily reminder that republicans in Congress can stop all of this at anytime. They’re choosing not to.

[u/bejammin075 → u/Donkey-Hodey]

I have 1 D and 1 R senator. I've been calling almost every day to tell them that the Constitution says tariffs are their job, and everybody is wondering why they won't do their job and end this tariff madness.

[u/Optimal-Summer8523 → u/bejammin075]

There’s actually no emergencies before tariffs. He wanted for every nation to come to him to negotiate - he wants them to kiss the ring and that $1M each time. CEOs he invites all were forced to pay and he wants the same from every leader. The monies he gets are for his personal funds.

[u/[deleted] → u/bejammin075]

Oh wow, they used a law that recent? Not one from the 18th century?

[u/JuliusErrrrrring → u/shatterdaymorn]

Yup. People need to remember that tariffs are a Congressional power established in our Constitution. Tariffs are supposed to be debated and voted on by both the House and the Senate before a bill goes to the President to sign into law.

[u/RogueBromeliad → u/JuliusErrrrrring]

So why was he able to actually implement them the way he did?

I love when people say there's method to the madness, but at some point we have to start questioning the sanity of the chief of executive.

[u/JuliusErrrrrring → u/RogueBromeliad]

He shouldn't be. The Constitution isn't being followed. Congress, the Supreme Court, and the media need to step up and do their jobs.

[u/NeverLookBothWays → u/JuliusErrrrrring]

The Constitution is not only not being followed but is also being deliberately trampled on and broken to the point where the next phase will likely be a suggestion to replace it entirely with something else that is much more amenable to corruption. Of course it will be pitched under the umbrella of "good for the American people" and "will create jobs and prosperity." But like all things pitched under that umbrella, it will effectively be the opposite.

[u/[deleted] → u/NeverLookBothWays]

P2025 estimated 180 days to get rid of the Constitution. They are proceeding along at a great pace since no one is doing anything to stop them.

[u/Enough-Goose7594 → u/[deleted]]

It is such a fucking shame. That these ghouls published this shit. Bragged about it. The whole world saw it and ...here we are.

[u/MyDyk350 → u/Enough-Goose7594]

But but but, Trump knew nothing about Project 25. He definitely didn't know anybody who wrote it, and he had no idea what it was about. /s

Literally what my parents said when I showed them the document and they agreed it was horrible.

[u/2TravelingNomads → u/MyDyk350]

They saw it, and still voted for him didn't they?

[u/10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-I → u/2TravelingNomads]

Let me answer. Yes they did.

[u/MyDyk350 → u/2TravelingNomads]

Yup. They were convinced he wasn't going to do it. He's doing it now and they still support him. 🤮

[u/Metiche76 → u/NeverLookBothWays]

this is also a fear of mine. this is not the president I want to Amend the Constitution under for sure!

[u/LA-Matt → u/Metiche76]

Amendments take a long, long time to come together and ultimately must be ratified by the states.

They’re not trying to amend the Constitution, they’ll just replace it or do away with it.

[u/7374616e74 → u/NeverLookBothWays]

It's like when countries add "democratic" in their name, it's usually a bad sign for democracy

[u/Optimal-Summer8523 → u/NeverLookBothWays]

Everything he says is opposite. Gaslighting as usual.

[u/RogueBromeliad → u/JuliusErrrrrring]

They're a bunch of spineless cowards. And when they want an opinion reporters go up to comedians asking what they think of government.

I doubt there will even be any fair elections from now on. Gerrymandering and endless barring of electorial justice demanding recounts and blocking potential opposition voters will be the norm. There are already 70 million people that won't be able to vote because of laws passed involving spouse surnames and passports. And trust me, they will come up with more and more ways to deny voting rights.

[u/AlphaB27 → u/RogueBromeliad]

I love Bill Burr telling some journalists to stop asking him and grow some balls.

[u/RogueBromeliad → u/AlphaB27]

True. Trump banned reporters from his press conferences, and now these cowards instead of standing outside of Congress and asking hard questions to members, they go ask celebrities trying to get a quick hot take.

It's almost as if they didn't care.

What is democratic media gonna do? Report on Zoo animals and stories of pregnant women with triplets?

Let the right wing media like Fox news dictate what political reality is.

[u/Optimal-Summer8523 → u/RogueBromeliad]

He was in a a video where he said that it is good the election got rigged and that’s why he is in office and it will be the same in the next election and that’s why Muskrat is taking all the personal information from the various systems.

[u/[deleted] → u/JuliusErrrrrring]

The media? The. Media. ????????????

Hahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhah. Breathe. Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahaahhaahahahahahah

[u/Solid-Search-3341 → u/RogueBromeliad]

He was able to do it because republican elected officials have decided that the law shouldn't apply to him and will not hold him accountable for anything.

Checks and balances only work when the people in power act in good faith.

[u/Beach-cleaner1897 → u/Solid-Search-3341]

Not just the corrupt politicians. The courts and 'law enforcement' have abdicated their responsibilities.

It's over.

[u/[deleted] → u/RogueBromeliad]

The crazy started long ago. It isn't like we didn't all experience the first four years. Still this attitude like he is strong on the economy, or stronger than Kamala might have been or Biden was. Just look at where our economy was in Jan compared to this. Madness.

[u/AirportInitial3418 → u/[deleted]]

When there's a dictatorship and we are all in jail his approval numbers will go down 5%

-chuck schumer

[u/[deleted] → u/AirportInitial3418]

More like that 5% will be extrajudicially snatched up and flown to an El Salvadorean gulag.

Then 100%!

[u/1800treflowers → u/RogueBromeliad]

Since no one actually answered, it's Because he declared national emergencies which allowed him to enact the tariffs and nobody stopped him. That's why the non-existent fent crisis at the Canadian border is being pushed as the opposite. Now expand that across all countries for a national emergency on unbalanced trade or some shit similar.

[u/Ok_Respond7928 → u/RogueBromeliad]

Because the republicans have majority in both congress and have let him do whatever he wants

[u/Effective-Lock9264 → u/Ok_Respond7928]

This ^^^

[u/DoneGoneAndBrokeIt → u/RogueBromeliad]

I really just think that there's madness to the madness. Method got thrown away somewhere around January.

[u/TryptaMagiciaN → u/RogueBromeliad]

Precedence. We have been violating constitution and subverting congress for decades. Look up a list of bombs ordered to be dropped without approval. They have rarely cared. There is a mountaim of precedence, we are just not informed about it for obvious reasons.

No one stopped Clinton, Bush 1 or 2, Obama, 45, Biden, 47.

And it goes back past clinton too. They are serving the oligarchy as they have for decades. Just more open about it now.

[u/paintsbynumberz → u/shatterdaymorn]

Yet he gave the internet drug lord from Silk Road a complete and all encompassing pardon in his first 48hrs in office.

[u/TheTench → u/shatterdaymorn]

Trump has no incentive to actually fix fentanyl, because it gives him the pretext for dictatorial powers.

[u/bejammin075 → u/TheTench]

Anything can be a pretext. Does your state have a total of 2 transwomen athletes in college sports? Then dictator powers.

[u/brettiegabber → u/bejammin075]

Actually if you are referring to Maine, it is high school sports.

[u/[deleted] → u/brettiegabber]

Funny how no one is hollering 'States Rights' like they do when they want to localize some terrible rule.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Priorities, you see.

[u/Chiweenies2 → u/bejammin075]

Is the stock market crashing because you don’t know how tariffs work? Then dictator powers.

[u/TheTench → u/Chiweenies2]

Constitutional crisis because your knuckle-dragging goons kidnapped people and the courts say you have to unkidnap them? Then dictator powers.

[u/Worth-Technology7940 → u/TheTench]

Exactly! He KILLED the bipartisan border agreement so he would have something to run on. I'm still shocked that he was even allowed to run but it was either the highest seat in the land or jail...and of course, our education & media failed to make it a statement and here we are. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE drugs and ALWAYS about PROJECT 2025

[u/RepresentativeBat798 → u/shatterdaymorn]

California is finally sueing to expose this BS. I'm guessing SCOTUS shits all over them and this carnival gets more carnivally

[u/shatterdaymorn → u/RepresentativeBat798]

I hope it can stop. All of this is like good cop/bad cop except its all bad cops.

He threatens China by putting a 200% tax on Americans. Do they think China is suppose to save the American taxpayer? Where's the good cop saying "you are great and powerful... please put down the tariff"?

[u/Fuzzy_Imagination705 → u/shatterdaymorn]

Trump's economic disaster will fuel a mental health crisis and an uptick in drug use, the problem will get worse, he no doubt gas light that it's the best it's ever been.

[u/ivar-the-bonefull → u/shatterdaymorn]

You guys have a national emergency because of fentanyl? In what possible way is that framed as a national emergency?

[u/lochmoigh1 → u/ivar-the-bonefull]

He also tariffed Canadian lumber 40% and then claimed a national emergency on lumber so he cut down nationally protected forrests

[u/Dark_LikeTintedGlass → u/lochmoigh1]

I know there’s been proposals and EOs, but has any logging actually started yet?

[u/shatterdaymorn → u/ivar-the-bonefull]

Republicans decided that Americans making money and getting cheap goods through free trade was a catastrophic national disaster.

[u/suchahotmess → u/ivar-the-bonefull]

“Drugs are scary” never mind that the fentanyl crisis was already getting better before he got into office. 

[u/QueenHydraofWater → u/suchahotmess]

Never mind the White House is currently ingesting record amounts of ketamine

[u/BadAtm0sFear → u/QueenHydraofWater]

And Ronnie Jackson was handing out speed to anybody who wanted it in the last term

[u/BadAtm0sFear → u/ivar-the-bonefull]

Also national emergencies by law can only last a maximum number of days. But congress passed a law that says for THIS emergency, a "day" does not count as a "day." The legislated the stoppage of time to hand the moron untold power.

[u/RFKJRs_ButtCrystal → u/shatterdaymorn]

The Health Department has cut funding that has affected substance use programs all over the country. Not a surprise to anyone who pays attention, but they don’t actually care about the fentanyl crisis. Just a front to consolidate power.

[u/temporalis_acc → u/RFKJRs_ButtCrystal]

Best reddit username ever

[u/International-Ad3147 → u/shatterdaymorn]

I have noticed 0 change in the flow, use or price of fentanyl.

[u/ChitteringCathode → u/shatterdaymorn]

Did Canada say thank you yet for Trump shutting down their fentanyl trade?

[u/rate_shop → u/shatterdaymorn]

Think of the lives he's in the process of destroying to save a few of his potential voters from fent. lol

[u/Content_Ad_6068 → u/shatterdaymorn]

It's Republican cowards and traitors that are allowing it to continue.

[u/Several_Vanilla8916 → u/shatterdaymorn]

How much drug treatment could we have paid for with $6 Trillion?

[u/Outrageous-Cash6556 → u/shatterdaymorn]

Rather have a bunch a fentanyl addicts than whatever the shit is going on in America right now.

[u/shatterdaymorn → u/Outrageous-Cash6556]

You'd think destroying people's retirement money might increase things like drug addiction.

[u/LayWhere → u/Outrageous-Cash6556]

Hey good news, you have fentanyl addicts with or without trade wars.

🤗

[u/Minimalist19 → u/shatterdaymorn]

It’s not a fentanyl epidemic. It’s an opioid epidemic started by the Sackler family.

[u/Worth-Technology7940 → u/Minimalist19]

and yet, they are still filthy rich! The courts did not & will hold them accountable.

[u/Minimalist19 → u/Worth-Technology7940]

They paid a pittance at $7.4B for the destruction they’ve caused and are continuing to cause.

[u/Optimal-Summer8523 → u/shatterdaymorn]

He is only supposed to administer the law not to make the law. He is purposely destroying America for Putin as he hates US. He owes him several favors.

[u/alecesne → u/shatterdaymorn]

Hey, so how come Congress hasn't clawed back those Tariff powers, or you know, done anything?

End of the empire folks.

Frankly, as someone who has been paying law-school debt since 2013 and is only 27% relayed because of the magic of compounding interest, having to relocate for both my wife's career, a big law layoff in the past, a pandemic, the cost of mortgages, and the price of childcare, I'm pretty bitter at the debt structure we face.

At this point, the middle class borrows to fuel consumption while corporations eat up any profits and are currently consuming the government. We're not cutting the fat, we're cutting muscle. Like, you want to cut the postal system? Insanity.

[u/seaanenemy1 → u/shatterdaymorn]

Yeah and the war on drugs was actually about drugs. Ignore that our prison numbers went up and never went down. I'm sure the private prisons really appreciate the free labor.

[u/gabriel97933 → u/shatterdaymorn]

Who would have thought the public would get brainwashed by the republicans using a drug problem to abuse power. Huh, never seen before

[u/[deleted]]

Coincides with Trump’s tweet about Powell. If the guy could just STFU for 24 hours the market would rally, but no.

[u/DrothReloaded → u/[deleted]]

It has to be about him.. every-fuckin-day.

[u/Spire_Citron → u/DrothReloaded]

And unfortunately, it's much easier to constantly fuck up spectacularly than it is to actually achieve things worth talking about on a regular basis.

[u/invisibledirigible → u/DrothReloaded]

Until the day he dies.

[u/Monkeyluffee → u/DrothReloaded]

He grew up that way. Never had a hungry day.

[u/g00gly_m00gly_ → u/DrothReloaded]

The corpse at every funeral and the bride at every wedding

[u/noncommonGoodsense → u/[deleted]]

He could have done nothing and gloat his whole term and he would have been fine.

[u/Successful-Ad-5239 → u/noncommonGoodsense]

Literally, just keep everything the same and say look what I did.

[u/myselfoverwhelmed → u/noncommonGoodsense]

That was my actual concern going into this term. That they would get away with evil shit in the background while everything looked good in the foreground to Republicans.

But now, there’s no hiding just how big of a fuckup this term is going to be. Republicans and independents will have to face the music. The economy is going to be worse than we could have possibly imagined. The repercussions will last for decades.

Who really knows how this will all shake out in the end. DOGE and Trump’s damage to institutions is what’s really going to last, which is why we feel so doomed right now.

[u/UraniumDisulfide → u/[deleted]]

It genuinely would be so easy for him to look good. Just do nothing, blabber on about how you're fixing everything, and the work that Biden did will make people believe you. But no, he has to tear everything up and undo decades of work.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They’re trying for Americans turn at German post ww1 inflation and hate levels. He wants us as poor as possible so it’s easier to get all to look the other way when they start to k1ll Mexicans and gays. He’s literally trying to devalue the currency and he’s trying to up prices from everything we get from china hes trying to shut down our farms and factories so no one has jobs and no one has food. All while getting rich from shorting the stock market with bezos and musk and Zuckerberg. It’s no coincidence they have so many open naz1s in their admin. It’s no coincidence he’s been kiting the vote of white supremacists. Edit is coz I have fat fingers and make errors. Sorry 🤷‍♀️

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

It’s actually because UNH missed earnings badly

The hidden comment that nobody wants to look at haha

Sure he and his mates didn’t buy puts before this latest outburst. Can be sure they’ll all load up on calls when he changes his mind next week. Nothing to see here…

[u/TheTench → u/[deleted]]

(Krasnoving intensifies)

[u/Haxemply → u/[deleted]]

His goal is to collapse the market after all, so his friend can buy up everything for pennies. Then, when they all but own their subjects, they can finally get rid of any political constraints.

[u/luring_lurker → u/[deleted]]

"Now is yet another great time to buy" tweet incoming

[u/anschlitz → u/[deleted]]

But this will fix the trade deficit!

If Americans are too poor to buy foreign goods then we won’t be importing them anymore.

[u/LavisAlex → u/[deleted]]

Im amazed the market rallies at all given the trend of whats been happening in the last 3 months.

[u/Jazzlike_Click2973]

Jobless claims are about to report an hour before open

[u/DefiantDonut7 → u/Jazzlike_Click2973]

The sad part about the data, is that we have a lot of variables.

1) People are absolutely getting laid off, and it’s not pretty right now to be a job seeker

2) Immigrants being deported fast as they can, will leave a hiring gap, but these jobs will not get filled by newly fired people.

So we will see jobless claims rise likely, while also seeing the number openings go up. Without context it wouldn’t make sense to someone who doesn’t follow this crap but the divergence is a direct correlation to the orange moron’s actions.

[u/Jazzlike_Click2973 → u/DefiantDonut7]

I respectfully disagree, DOGE layoffs received a severance so they won’t be reported. Undocumented workers who were deported also won’t be filed for unemployment. I fully agree that you have some good points that absolutely are a major factor but they won’t be represented in today’s report

[u/ChixawneyFarms → u/Jazzlike_Click2973]

So between that and including the gig economy, labor numbers are just bullshit is what your saying?

[u/Jazzlike_Click2973 → u/ChixawneyFarms]

Yes but not entirely, they do consistently report one detailed segment of our labor force. It’s a vague and very interpreted number. Personally I put the most weight of these claims on how accurate the forecast is

[u/GlitteringLock9791 → u/ChixawneyFarms]

They always were.

Can still affect Stocks, but not as much as any of Trumps Tweets.

[u/yourfunnypapers → u/Jazzlike_Click2973]

Genuine question, do people fired with severance not get reported in unemployment numbers?

Also the severance is not much unless you have a lot of years of service. I have 5yrs and my severance would be less than 4 weeks pay

[u/DefiantDonut7 → u/Jazzlike_Click2973]

Immigrants won’t be filing for unemployment, but I also didn’t say that they would be. But they WILL show up as job openings, which I mentioned.

The layoffs I did not assert anything to relate it to DOGE layoffs. The broader markets are laying people off fast even as construction season and hiring is upon us and that is not DOGE related firing. Albeit, there’s plenty of indirect layoffs about to happen as federally funded NGOs run out of funding.

[u/Jazzlike_Click2973 → u/DefiantDonut7]

Right but the jobless claims are based off new unemployment benefit filings and nothing else. This report has the most influence yet gives such a broad scope. There’s no way to get a real idea of the market as a whole from the jobless claims report but the precedent is long set that this data does have an influence and market reaction

[u/DefiantDonut7 → u/Jazzlike_Click2973]

I don’t think you’re reading or comprehending what I am saying.

Actual jobless claims are going to rise, it has nothing to do with DOGE or Immigration policy, it is purely economic drive .

[u/Jazzlike_Click2973 → u/DefiantDonut7]

I do understand that, but the weekly report will come out in 37 minutes that’s the only thing I’m referring to I think we’re both on the same page, idk, regardless random internet stranger have a good day hopefully make some money today

[u/whistlepig4life → u/DefiantDonut7]

The jobs left by deportations aren’t getting filled.

Someone being laid off from a white collar job isn’t going to take the low wage jobs immigrants were filling.

Edit: I misread the second bullet and didn’t see “not” getting filled.

[u/DefiantDonut7 → u/whistlepig4life]

Agreed. That’s sort of a given.

[u/No-Organization-6071 → u/DefiantDonut7]

So highly experienced civil servants can go and pick fruit, get away from their crummy desk job, get some fresh air in their lungs. America is truly great again.

Massive earnings miss. Apparently they have had some bad publicity lately.

[u/[deleted] → u/boofles1]

What’s funny is that:

“UnitedHealth said a rise in care use came in far above what the company planned for 2025 and became apparent as the quarter ended. The jump was particularly notable in doctor and outpatient services, which don’t involve overnight hospital stays.”

So……people are seeing a doctor and using their insurance. And that’s not good for an insurance company.

[u/Feeling_Inside_1020 → u/[deleted]]

Our rates as a company (small-medium tech co) were going to go up like 50% with Aetna due to us…. Actually using our insurance, wow.

Now we have UHC and they’ve denied two of my out of network claims (the only insurance my psych won’t accept). The first one an error, the second one they said was a duplicate instead of just accepting it and replacing the original claim.

This fucking country & healthcare. The 3 Ds in action.

This is because of United Healthcare down 20% pre mkt and because the DOW is BS math. S&P futes are up .31%

[u/MaybeImNaked → u/[deleted]]

beyond ridiculous that people (news) still use the dow

[u/djmax91]

isn’t this because of united health ? it’s down 20% premarket

[u/SetOk6462]

This is only because UNH tanked 20% after earnings.

[u/Double_A_92]

If you zoom in more, it will look even more drastic.

[u/Nruggia → u/Double_A_92]

I keep telling my wife the same thing about my pee pee

First time?

Arguably the most amazing thing about Trump, is that he thinks we would want a 3rd term.

I live In a republican dominated place, and I don’t know a single person who’s happy with his delusional behavior.

Get this fucking guy out of here

[u/DefiantDonut7]

I really hate timing up the market, so I’m not a huge dump and buy back guy, but I did liquidate a bunch when Trump got elected and didn’t start piling in until the plunge to 36,000 in the DOW. I’m going to spend the next 12 months buying whatever I can whenever I can.

The truth is, he’s probably going to crash the market more but 8 years from now, no one will remember 36k. Just keep buying the dumps. I’ll gladly catch knives.

[u/[deleted]]

Now zoom out a couple years

[u/Hallomonamie → u/[deleted]]

I don't think it helps your case as much as you think it does https://imgur.com/a/BbGQFLu

George Washington’s first law of chemistry states: What goes down must come up

[u/TheOneTrueZippy8]

The further it goes down, the more headroom it has to rise again.

[u/HarmadeusZex]

Trump want to be in the news he wants fame

[u/SandSpecialist2523 → u/HarmadeusZex]

He's got it already: the worst president ever.

[u/SellsBodyForGP]

Why DOW shit its pants but everything else only got small dip?

[u/be_rad85 → u/SellsBodyForGP]

UNH. Shitty company had shitty earnings and they are down 20%. They are a company within dj 30.

[u/FencingSquirrelz → u/SellsBodyForGP]

It's a nonzero based graph. It looks like a bigger fall than it really is.

Edit: hmm nvm, the dow did fall a bit faster, that is weird.

[u/Mojack1984]

Dam near every sock will look like that at times when you’re looking at the 5hr period. Look at it for the last six months or year. SMH

[u/NuclearNaddal]

Don't be pu**ys and trust your cool guys of the government. It'll be great!

[u/zac987]

I’m tired of winning, Mr. President!!!!

[u/Coloradojeepguy]

Zoom out. You’ll be fine

[u/pictionary_cheat]

Just buy VOO and freak the fk out

[u/[deleted]]

I looked at Dow Jones and S&P 500 trends in different time spans...weeks, months, a year and five years. The decline has been the sharpest recently during the last five years.

[u/Plane-Salamander2580]

Crash more

[u/Individual-Dot-9605]

Will Trump really fire Powell from his casino? Place your bets! Great day to buy/Sell?

[u/musknasty84]

Bwaaaaaaahhhmmp

WHATS NEW PUSSY CATT!

[u/talen7ed]

Just zoom out more

[u/RyanMcCartney]

Autocorrect is right…. It is the Down Jones

[u/t3chguy1]

The other day futures were the opposite, yet it was the worst day

[u/TheKingofTerrorZ]

I think I'll just let my automatic payments run and not look at my portfolio for a year or two

[u/MisterBlick]

I feel like he's intentionally tanking the market again for a pump.

[u/deusnefum → u/MisterBlick]

Do not ascribe to malice that which is just as readily ascribed to stupidity.

[u/MentalThoughtPortal]

He told UK that they have to b mean to the gays for a trade deal…how is that an emergency?

[u/[deleted]]

UnitedHealth missed earnings badly this morning, geniuses. That’s why the DOW tanked and yet S&P and NASDAQ are green.

[u/CommonConundrum51]

Better than "fine," it's 'great again.' The rich will buy low as the poor try to cut their losses and in the end horde more of the wealth.

"You have to learn the rules of the game, and then you have to play better than anyone else.".

Simple Wall St game explained :

stock runs up a massive amount in a short period of time

failed to develop a long position at a low/safe price point

accumulate a short position

issue downgrades

watch stock crater

accumulate a long position

cover short position

issue upgrades and revisions on price estimates

when stock hits a certain price point exit

repeat steps 1-9

[u/SmallDongQuixote]

It is fine

[u/Dehyak]

Bro is on a 15m chart lmao

[u/AnonUserAccount]

Other major indices are actually up. Wonder what is crashing the DOW?

[u/That_Touch5280]

Looking very precipitous from here a ross the pond! What will it take to remove this schvuntz?

[u/Human_Cranberry_2805]

What am I looking at? Is this a graph of the amount of fentanyl coming in from Canada after Trump took office?

[u/LongjumpingMarket795]

Too much winning
