I guess we could just call bankrupting anything from now on “going in the orange”. You know when you’re so far in the red your only choice is to turn into a fascist and begin killing immigrants you’re probably in the orange
The Republican Depression or Trump Depression. The Republican dust bowl also.
I already coined it The Great Repression
Trump’s gonna call it a fire sale. Him and his buddies will just get more powerful.
Well, that depends on us, to some extent, doesn't it?
And if it goes beyond a recession, we can call it a Trumpression.
I'm trumpressed
Economists do not usually speak in black and white terms like this.
Our economy is in for a bloodletting.
Make people desperate,
They'll more likely go to war.
They might go to war against the leaders within the country instead. Trump is really playing with fire here, messing with the gun-toting constituents of his.
nah, they don't even know which direction to point those boomboom sticks, but probably Biden
I accidentally got some of the crazy content in my feed; it seems they want to arrest Fauci.
Nah, just say that Hussein Obama did it or something stupid like that, say it's open season on the treacherous libs and they'll happily make another Kristallnacht because that is how stupid they are. They'll follow Cheeto straight into hell and then he'll abandon them there and they'll still blame Obama because please do not expect these people to have a shred of dignity to say "I was wrong"
Revolutions need organization. Organization needs third spaces were people can meet, discuss, and organize. Most of the US has basically no third spaces outside of churches, and this is very much by design.
Crash the economy and stock prices. Create a forever war for profiteering. Stick dissidents and the poor into for profit prisons. Consolidate more wealth at the top. The system is working as designed.
It is almost like our glorious leader is an idiot.
Or he wants to destroy America. Then he is brilliant.
Glad to know that GS is catching up with every other financial advisor and most of the logical everyday people who understand that making things more expensive tends to make people's financial situation worse.
I bet before the end of the day we'll hear about how Goldman Sachs, of all places, is full of RADICAL LIBERALS and has gone WOKE!
We jumped the shark when they called the FBI "woke leftists" however many years ago that was.
This is entirely a self-own by donvict and his stupid sycophants. He was handed an economy that had so many great indicators and within mere weeks, was able to fuck it up.
Heckuva job, donnie.
Sabotaging the US economy and destroying the power of the US and EU were the jobs Trump was put in to do.
The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.
All is going according to plan.
So why aren't the big players on Wall Street raising hell over this?
They have lots of liquidity and are willing to take the hit to buy more at lower prices.
they're are vultures, hoping to buy low and sell high.
Even now we could stop doing idiotic things and we might recover in a few years? But if we continue, we'll run out of every single company's rainy day fund. At that point in the not too distant future we'll start seeing one no-name company go belly up. Then a few days later two, then the next day ten, then 200. Finally we'll be in a deepest recession ever. People will be jumping out of buildings.
I mean lots of companies are declaring bankruptcy already

How many of those have been because they've been sucked dry by private equity?
Not that Trump is blameless, but I'd expect the casualties of his sabotage to take longer to surface.
Trump is trying to harm the economy of all the allies of USA, because reasons.
The strategy is to commit economic suicide, to prove the dependency on USA.
The plan is flawless if you don't give a shit about anything, except creating attention for yourself.
More and more I feel like he's just trying to get us embroiled in something that provides cover for him to ratchet into the next slot of dictator. If he can get a real crisis on his hands he's plausibly cleared for all sorts of seemingly desperate measures. Such as third terms, and criminalization of "sentiments" ("doesn't like me" turns into "supports the enemy", opposition turns into enemy, temporary emergency actions turn into permanent dictatorship).
The plan is flawless if you don't give a shit about anything, except creating wealth and power for yourself.
Ah yes, when Trump does his own research.
Meanwhile, anyone with a halfway decent high-school education, knows this is what happens when you engage in a trade war with all your major trading partners.
As does much of his cabinet, it seems. That, or if they know better, they are too afraid and power-seeking to counter even the very stupidest of his "ideas".
Translation: hey rich customers, fire sale and reason to lay off your highest-paid employees incoming!
Remember, they and the people who listen to them wanted this.
They don't understand just how bad it's going to get. It's going to make 1929 look like playtime.
So do we all.
