I keep expecting the economy to crash because things are so out of balance. It’s like a washing machine heavy on one side just banging and banging. The real question is when will it break? It’s such a complex system and people think simple answers will suffice.
If it's anything like the washing machine from my shareholders days. It'll take years.
I have spent the least amount of money since January.
Love the washing machine analogy.
Yes, simple is a display of how Trump thinks a country is run.
We are here:
Good analogy and good question!!
Off topic: you are wrong about Brussel sprouts. They are not cabbage turds more like cabbage veal or cabbage eggs. And they are amazing.
Also. Fuck no. They taste like deep fried farts soaked in self loathing. Like the “god” idea, this isn’t a debate. You’re delusional and I accept that.
“What do you mean they’re nothing but tiny cabbages??” 😱
Hahaha. No. Those hulk dingleberries are not just tiny cabbages - false analogy.
Reminds me of a geeky pun I made back in high school...someone told me peanuts are technically not really nuts, and I said it was a false dicot-omy. 🥜
It’s a testimony to just how robust an economy Biden left behind. It’s going to take some time for Orange Dingus to f*ck it up, but he’s surely working on it.
WE can break it and we should. We should shut it tf down and then at least it’s OUR choice for once. We are uniquely both product AND consumer…WE are the lifeblood and it’s time to starve them of US. Find our peers in the community and ORGANIZE and then we build an economy that works for US not THEM
Right? Agree
I thought it would crash a while back, but somehow it is more resilient than expected. Partly due to the constant chickening out.
Rigged to the point of being collapse-proof. bsky.app/profile/coll...
Nah. The people on the bottom will become very desperate. The more desperate people there are…
Imho, America is a bottomless pit of apathy.
Sure, but when privileged people start hurting, they gonna be big mad.
You can't eat money. It doesn't matter how much you have if the grocery store shelves are empty.
One of the reasons they will be big mad. They will expect things and it won’t mean shit anymore.
Of course, if you’re rich you may be able to organize a “distribution network” to help secure what little is left for yourself...
Until a raiding crew comes along.
And I hate to say it, but we are heading over the cliff no matter what we do. We have never seriously addressed the overpopulation problem. If you manage to find a way to feed the current generation, you just end up with more mouths to feed. We’ve known since Malthus this is not sustainable.
The U.S. always profits during a war but recession follows the end of it.
There is enough money and power pushing their thumbs on the scale hard enough to make it not tip over.
Big money guys are holding it up if president Biden did this the market would be down 5k points.
A lot of people forget how "The Big Short" ended. Really great movie. Worth a rewatch.
As a 30 year veteran of Technical Recruiting in Manufacturing, keep your eye on unemployment numbers & companies doing layoffs. If you see a SHARP increase for either, there will be hell to pay. Right now the market is acting as if DJT does not exist. I hope that is sustainable for 3.5 more years
Argree totally. They have hacked at congressionally allocated spending. Government layoff will push people to the private sector. ICE Raids and tariffs decimating small businesses. There are already drastic changes in the flow of $$
I have a prediction, we’re going to have to go through a severe recession, but by the end of the year this country will go through a total great depression! Thanks to the orange retarded president
Walmart Target and local stores are too expensive or closing up so shit is happening
A war with Iran would break it.
Same.
Or do bitcoin boys want that ??
Should we all lean over towards the heavy side? We brought Target and Tesla down, so maybe just lean a little bit more!!
It’s already broken. Honestly. Now it’s like when does the $6 lettuce cost $12 because we can’t be decent human beings.
Too big to fail. Unless we actually let it. But we won’t.
As a business owner I can tell you that it has certainly slowed down already and I expect it to get worse. Add incoming tariffs to the equation and it can only get worse. Also, I know companies that were planning on hiring but now have paused everything. If things remain on this path….SCREWED.
Waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under us saving money, hoping the rent will be paid……next month
Mass no violence organization Stop going to work Stock up Protest Boycotting Everyday/ night Take care of one another through this fight! If We The People, dems and our military dont PHYSICALLY REMOVE this regime, more people will die and or go to prison. Period. 💔🤦🏼
Yes, stock up but stop going to work. Spend extra then stop earning. Put yourself in an untenable situation where you can't afford to pay bills because you're protesting a fascist regime by ....not...earning a living. Good idea, poor execution. Everything else, yeah, sure.
Whoa! Slow down with all your own idea's of stopping Mr Jan 6th and his regime and or trying to contribute to this fight! Lawmakers were targeted and killed and you say "everything else, yeah, sure" - You and America since Jan 7th, 2021 Thanks for weighing in Hoss.. 👋🏻
Oh sorry. Apparently I'm not allowed to agree with some ideas but not all? Don't read your own dismissive, flippant attitude into my words
There will be violence at some point. Look around the rest of the world. More of it is already here. Bullies don’t normally stop when ya ask them nice. It’s not that I want it. I try and be a realist.
Question is, when is the breaking point after what has already happened in the past 10 years, from the biggest domestic terrorist in American history.... 😳💔🤦🏼
Lawmakers were targeted and murdered and We The People just go back to work like nothing happened... fucking wild times we're in. We let all pos who has literally killed his own supporters, back in the WH. All normalized. A lot of small minded people in this country. Breaks my heart.
We let that*
Unfortunately, history doesn’t show a non-violent way out… I also think that less than 10% are even able or aware enough to consider or accomplish this. Wish things were different, but I can’t make others act or even care. We have a toxic portion of the population that seems to end up in power.
True but we haven't tried yet. And omfg do I know, im a delivery driver so I see the inaction on the daily. Only way I see beating these mfrs, is get someone like AOC, Bernie, Jaz etc to lead the charge, we the people stop going to work, get our military and PHYSICALLY REMOVE trump and regime.
Or civil war. My life turned out perfectly for either so ive been ready since Jan 7th, 2021. 💪🏻
bsky.app/profile/bada...
We're definitely on the heels of something and I'm fucking tired of waiting for it... My life turned out perfectly for anything that happens. It took almost 10 years of dealing with Mr Jan 6th but now im dreaming of the pos. Had a dream I went off on him and he curls cowardly down to the floor ❤️
I wish I had more control in my dreams, I wouldn't of just screamed at the pos... 😉
I'm waiting for war or civil war in the streets everyday, country shut down and the whole country is kill or be killed. ✌🏻💔
I also saw the immigrants shit blowing up again this morning, that burns my ass to because one of the first things that goes through my head is all that smoke and bs going into our air and polluting our fkn planet 🤬🖕🏻🤬
same, and that’s a perfect analogy! how much more can the machine take??
TACO Trump keeps extending everything for 90 days but in the mean time people stopped buying things and when shit hits the fan you will see major downturns.
Soon. I give it 3 more months top. Then it all breaks down.
It might be a strong sign when there is a bank run; or will that be past the tipping point?
As with their leader, those who comprise MAGAt nation are simple-minded folks... they can do no better.
It’s starting too.
There are a lot of wealthy people relying heavily on rationally-performing US financial markets. They have to give up on us before our markets crash. Every day Trump is in office increases the instability of US markets. The crash will be sudden and huge.
Aww, c'mon now...everyone knows More tax breaks for the obscenely rich will set things back to normal, Right?
I love this analogy; sadly telling 🥺🤦🏻♀️🤬
Trump is destroying the fundamentals of the American economy: trust, stability, business relationships, educated workforce, innovation. It's like a huge ship colliding with a series of underwater rocks. In the short term, it will bounce up and down, but in the long term, it's going to sink.
