koch, you are responsible for him getting elected.

Casual reminder: the billionaires haven't lost jack shit. Virtually all of their losses are unrealized, usually in the form of stock. Once everything is finally at rock bottom, they will buy up everything they can (which will still be a lot), values will eventually rebound, and they will have lost nearly nothing while seeing massive gains.

i really, really wish that more people could see this

Yeah this is just to choke out the middle class finally and pick up some assets for cheap.

There are so many vultures waiting to feast on corpses. Stock brokers make out like bandits during crashes, wouldn’t surprise me if something similar goes on with real estate.

So many senator insiders shorted their stocks and sold before the tarriffs. MTG was just exposed to be among those who did so

It's only funny until the billionaires begin to hurt.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, then it'll get real funny! I might even ROFLMAO if that happens.

^oh, please make this happen 🙏^

Don't worry - I'm sending tons of hope and prayer your way!

If the Koch twats think they’re mad, wait until the people who lost their retirement get hungry

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Probably posturing. They WANT a crash. They want cheap stuff to buy up as everyone else loses more. I bet the crash is part of the plan.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You don't file lawsuits just for posturing. If that's what you want, you make concerned comments to the press.

All this "part of the plan" stuff assumes Trump has a plan. He doesn't. He is stupid on a subatomic level.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

He has a plan. It's Putin's plan.

Putin obviously gave Trump & Elon a list of everything that makes the USA better than Russia & tasked them with destroying it.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No, this is Trump's different owners having conflicting priorities.

You reap what you vote.
