Cramer built his career on misleading investors to pad hedge funds’ profit margins. His opinion on literally everything should be immediately discarded.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Wait, don't these assholes complain about Immigrants stealing jobs of Americans? Now, they want to send the jobs overseas?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

No you see outsourcing jobs is good for conservatives because it prevents illegal immigration and increases profits for the shareholders.

Making living conditions in Mexico so good that they wouldn’t want to come north to our shithole country is the best way to fight illegal immigration and totally pwn the libs.

Why does Jim Kramer hate America?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 years ago

Because fucking over the average American is extremely profitable and he’s gotten rich off of misleading people with his “expert advice”

Mexicans should unionize.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, who's going to move all the existing tooling to factory sites in Mexico then? Where are they even going to find good factory sites in Mexico with access to good transportation (ports and rails) and skilled labor force on such short notice?

Moving manufacturing is a major undertaking for any company, of course, I don't expect someone like Jim Kramer to know that.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Of course Jim Kramer doesn’t know, he’s a doorknob humping shill. 😂

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty weird that I know more about this than Kramer.

Maybe I should do a show where I say dumb things and give bad stock advices. Seems pretty easy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not really shocking, I’m pretty sure the aforementioned doorknob, could give more insightful investment information than Kramer lol.

Unfortunate that neither of us has an in, to get his job.

There's already car manufacturing in Mexico, it's not like it's unprecedented. Obviously they can't do it overnight, but it's not unheard of.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Of course, but the thing is, it's been decades since NAFTA, and all the good sites for manufacturing has all been taken by someone already. So, if they try to move now, not only will they have to build the factory, they'll have to also build power stations/railways/port expansions, which could take multiple years.

Anyone remember when he went on The Daily Show and Jon Stewart scolded him like a naughty child and he couldn't do anything but sit there and take it? Good times.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Got a link by any chance? Jon stewart scolding somebody is a fun 5min entertainment while on the shitter.

Isn't that the go-to threat from most companies nowadays? "If we don't get our way, we're MOVING TO MEXICO"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Not always Mexico, but yeah outside the US. Many of them have followed through with that. As capitalism pushes harder and harder for profits companies continue to look for ways to cut costs. Moving production to countries with cheaper labor and lax safety regulations is an easy way to do so.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Anybody that thought Cramer was for anything but infinite rise in profit no matter the cost hasn't really been paying attention to his entire history of shilling for corporate interests.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

After they hear this, I expect the big three to immediatly cease all manufacturing in Mexico and add a UAW seat on the Board of Directors. Cramer's advice should never be ignored.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

Is Jim Cramer still a POS? Yep!

I thought I remembered hearing something about an "inverse Cramer" ETF being created, which invest opposite to whatever he recommends.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hasn't VW proven that's a bad idea? I mean look at the reliability issues they've been having

Move the executive jobs to Mexico too

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

They'll find out that they have to pay the Cartels a big tax.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

And in response to that we should [REDACTED] him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago
