Wow, $11 trillion is a lot. Really puts the $36 trillion sitting liquid in offshore tax havens into perspective (yet seems to be missing from every conversation about money.)
The problem is that it is legal (in a gray legal sort of way), and the people in power only lose if they fix it. So we can only talk about it.
Go woke go broke? Seems like when you go conservative you get absolutely ripped.
I know your right in saying people vote like Trump was the conservative, but Harris was really the conservative. Trump was the populist autocratic. thinking the GOP is the conservative party is crazy to me. They haven't been in a long ass time. You want status quo and security for your money and livelyhood? Don't vote for the populist who has ''ideas'' about how the country should REALLY be ran.
That's how you get Pol Pot shutting down food imports because he wanted higher domestic food production, you know BEFORE they could make enough food to feed everyone without the imports. All the other autocrat or populist that instantly rammed a country into the ground also had a cult that made them entirely delusional.

This really is exactly what trump is doing. He’s slinging tariffs around like that will spur US industries (and as a petty attempt at being a strongman) and farming but giving those industries zero lead time, and on top of that, the tariffs he imposed are going to affect all of the materials and machinery those industries would need to ramp up their production. And on true insulated tyrant fashion he just makes a declaration and then it’s everyone else’s problem to deal with.
Dude’s a fucking idiot.
It was projection once again. It turns out being anti-woke is indeed the path to poverty
Oh no, billionaires losing unrealized gains, what a shame
Let's flip the fuck out about it
Gasp! However, zero sympathy for the MAGA voters losing their asses in the stock market.
Unfortunately I sincerely doubt a lot of them have retirement savings of any significance. There’s a reason Red States are a bigger draw on federal money than Blue States. But if there’s any consolation, once the food prices start hitting again they’ll take notice.
My MAGA friends on Facebook are yelling about "buying opportunities".
Where is that buying money coming from? I got none myself.
Just as well as this sure as hell isn't a buying opportunity, some indexes are only at 6 month lows. We've barely begun loses wise - 12% off all time highs on the S&P if I recall right, 50% is realistic in my mind
so the chainsaw worked!
Its liberation day!
The US stock market has been liberated of 11 trillion dollars and counting.
What a party, what a party.
We’re sick of this winning!
The top 10% wealthiest Americans own over 90% of stocks...
I do feel bad for the people who left their 401k in the market instead of government securities. trump has been saying he'd do this dumb shit since the campaign.
Now I know why Trump, during his rally, said people would ask him to stop winning.
Curious how does that stack up historically with the largest drops in history percentage-wise?
I checked out the investopedia article:
- The Dow had its sixth-worst week of the 21st century; it fell 7.9% over the week and 9.3% in the last two days.
- The Dow shed 2,231 points on Friday, its third-largest one-day point decline on record.
- The Nasdaq Composite has dropped 11.4% since Trump’s tariff announcement, also its worst 2-day stretch since March 2020.
