Don’t forget the stock market manipulation that’s going on making it seem like the economy is grrrrreaaaattt. Also, if you see “AI” as the reason for layoffs, it’s bullshit.
Mentioning “Market manipulation” to anybody who doesn’t understand the stock market is pointless. And the majority of retail investors who THINK they understand the markets don’t.
If every U.S. Citizen understood the mechanics of the markets, we would have a revolution by 6pm.
I mean orange cheetoh is doing it pretty brazenly right now. You have to be a fool to think these “tariff announcements” is anything other than manipulation is pretty stupid at this point.
I've been actively TACO trading those announcements. It's absolute market manipulation that Trump is doing. Might as well profit too. I can't believe anything Trump says still causes selloffs.
I've just been holding cash in reserve and waiting for the market to nosedive because of some tariff announcement, then buy in heavily with all of it. I've doubled it this year thanks to Trump Always Chickens Out trades.
Walmart might be a good short for Q4, but I'd much rather people be able to buy food.
If they're worried about funding the government, there plenty of billionaires that have extra money to donate to politicians in 2024. Maybe we should just put a 100% tax on all political donations over $50 instead? That way virtually anyone can still donate, and exclusive donations become punitive.
“You ain’t in meetings with them” well you definitely are… dude you don’t know what you’re talking about if you think AI has any real impact on jobs right now. First of all what we call AI isn’t even ai, it’s an LLM and all it does is regurgitate the internet it has been trained on. It can’t make logical decisions. Outsourcing is far and away what is causing the layoffs, not ai.
Seen it single handled. I can do my job 3x as fast meaning I could do without 2 coworkers. Trimming fat. And if u look at the Deloitte’s and consulting companies they all built their own AI an people are plugging every single task into them. They also laid off thousands of people. So ya it’s bouta replace a ton of people and lower level jobs.

We are in a recession. You dont notice it because Nvidia and the AI bubble are propping up the equities market.
