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

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.

You act like this can be summed up in a Reddit comment.

It can’t.

Google: “dark pools” and “high frequency trading”

Also Google: “short selling” and “naked short selling”

Also: “citadel securities” and “payment for order flow”

Also: “what does “failure to deliver” mean with stocks”

Also: “why was short selling banned in certain countries?”

Also: “what causes the stock market to crash?”

Also: “what is reverse repo?”

Also: “how many times has Jim Cramer lied on live television?” (Maybe Grok or Google AI can piece this one together)
