Only in America are the wealthy allowed to use the rest of us as resources.

They poison us

They force us to work for them

They extract wealth from us

We need heroics

It’s weird. We’re Americans. We buy bullets by the bucket.

I feel like big guillotine is trying to make us forget that.

You need to be the hero you all are waiting for. The German people in the 30s all waited for some magical saviour to come and none did.

Is it insider trading? Wasn't the date of the tariffs announced in advance?

Its insider trading when they buy at the lowest point and sell when its back up because they knew of one or both of these events. Everyone knew it would crash. Everyone did not know he'd lift tarrifs at a specific time where the market would "recover".

Why am I not surprised? At all?

Sell high. Buy back low.

That's how transfer of wealth works.

Quelle surprise.

Wasn’t it public information when the tariffs were going to start?
