    I still have no idea how conservatives maintain this illusion that they are “gud aht 'conomee” when there is just so little evidence of it. I guess we can thank the Murc’s Law Media for upholding that stupid narrative.

    The economy was going in all the right directions by the end of 2024. And then this asshole “won”. And all because people thought Biden was doing poorly on the economy.

    I just can’t even.

    🙄

    One man should not have so much impact and control. I’m exhausted already and am just circling, waiting for this phase of history to be behind us.

      I wish I knew when it will be over and if I’ll live to see it. I fear after the dust settles, millions of people will still be oblivious that anything happened

    I’m so exhausted of global credit crises. It’s fucking stupid we have to deal with this shit every 20 years like it’s a recurring rash. Can we just agree none of this works, unplug it all and move on already?

    I’m telling my kids not to worry, they’re probably going to earn millions of dollars a month when they grow up.

    I just don’t tell them how a twinky will cost millions of dollars.

      Also, Elon is saying money won’t matter by 2036.

      In the meantime, I guess everyone should give more of their money to Elon and donnie and their schemes.

    Hope everyone paid attention to the dirty 30’s chapter of history, because looks like we are bound to repeat it. Thanks to the Orange Turd.

    What does this article mean when the markets are bad, Trump always turns back? No he doesn’t, he just goes bankrupt…

    Trump is going to bankrupt the world at this rate.

      except the credit agencies are dropping their ratings and the bond markets are forcing higher rates and the debt keeps climbing and the gov keeps bailing out and waiting money and foreign markets are divesting and so on.

      It’s always the Democrats fault for not fixing everything the republicans wrecked quickly enough. Fucking Democrats!

        It’s fair to complain that the checks and balances are neither checking nor balancing. Republicans are cunts, but Democrats are also cunts for not doing anything about them. And the dumbfuck American voter is the biggest cunt of all.

          No question that the American voter is the ultimate problem (and I am one). Or more to the point, the American non-voter is the real problem.

          But you seem to suggest each party carries equal blame, and that is most certainly not the case.

        So instead of spreading the blame, your immediate reaction is to defend Democrats from blame for doing nothing?

        Yes, yes they are to blame for doing nothing to stop damage. Republicans are up blame also. If you claim to be opposition and don’t do anything up oppose, you need to be blamed.

        Stop treating your life like a political team sport.

            Yes, fuck both sides, now you get it. Jesus Christ you people will cheer “lesser evil” even as it eats you alive.

            Fuck your lesser evil, it’s just evil to us victims.

          It’s not a team sport, and I most certainly don’t fly the flag of any party. Both both sides-ing the erosion of democracy is not only unhelpful, it benefits Republicans who are actually, verifiably to blame.

          You can call democrats ineffective, and old largely agree, but blame isn’t the right word to levy at them.
