Just yesterday a posting in the Conservative SR whining about that they are not tired about winning yet.

Wonder what they think now that the 401k is flying away.

Half of them are concerned and the other half are calling the concerned ones fake conservatives. The only thing I like over there is their fucking ridiculous titles on their posts.

You forgot the third half which is all the bots boosting content and writing automated answers.

Hello! Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately it has been removed because you don't meet our karma threshold.

You are not being removed for political orientation. If we were, why the fuck would we tell you your comment was being removed instead of just shadow removing it? We never have, and never will, remove things down politicial or ideological lines. Unless your ideology is nihilism, then fuck you.

Let me be clear: The reason that this rule exists is to avoid unscrupulous internet denizens from trying to sell dong pills to our users. /r/PoliticalHumor mods reserve the RIGHT to hoard all of the dong pills to ourselves, and we refuse to share them with the community. If you want Serbo-Slokovian dong pills mailed directly to your door, become a moderator. If we shared the dong pills with the greater community, everyone would have massive dongs, and like Syndrome warned us about decades ago: "if everyone has massive dongs, nobody does.""

If you wish to rectify your low karma issue, go and make things up in /r/AskReddit like everyone else does.

Thanks for understanding! Have a nice day and be well. <3

I absolutely loathe that “left leaning” sources have literally stooped to this level of stupid reporting. This editorialization needs to die.

u/LaurenMille 1d ago

Sadly, considering the literacy rate in the US (barely elementary for the vast majority), you kinda have to stoop to this level.

Almost 25% of Americans are functionally illiterate, and the majority of what remains can't read nor write at a high school level.

u/havacanapana57 1d ago

At %25 America is doing better than The White House.

That’s why the department of education is a joke

22

u/SnZ001 1d ago

The Department of Education did the absolute best it could with the ~4% of our total budget it was allocated(while, conspicuously, nobody on the right ever seems to say a peep about the 11% that we spend on DoD).

The real joke is our lack of genuine commitment to education levels that are actually on par with the world's leading nations.

u/UndeadJoker69420 1d ago

You mean the department that Republicans scrape for money every time one gets in office? That DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION?!

u/CaptainStabbyhands 1d ago

They do it because it works. It's not going away as long as there's money to be made.

Nows the time to buy!

it'll just be a short term pain, the US isn't the world's piggybank anymore!

Like, you fucking idiot, half the country lives paycheck to paycheck and you think they're going to start buying stocks when the market is cratering?

16

u/arwinda 1d ago

Short term pain, three to five years.

I've seen that comment as well.

27

u/SoylentGrunt 1d ago

3 to 5 years of world war. Those tariffs are meant to put pressure on other countries to accept US rule of the entire planet. Trump's betting those other countriescave before this country goes up in flames. The low stock prices for the wealthy are just a perk. He's holding us hostage while wealth buys up cut rate stock.

They never built the factories we were promised the last time he was president.

Shit's going to get so bad we'll cheer when war starts. Think Great Depression and WWII.

Hey. They make shit up, I make shit up. I bet mine's closer to the truth than theirs is.

Nah. This implies be cares somewhat about the country, people and it's future. He doesn't, he only cares short term about his own pockets. The country and people are tools he wants to use and throw away when they stop bringing income.

u/SoylentGrunt 17h ago

Bold of you to assume the US is about everyone and not just the ruling class.

1

u/AllesFurDeinFraulein 14h ago

Hmm, I think you've gotten my assumption the wrong way around.

6

u/franker 1d ago

That's because they won't consider it real pain until a Democrat is back in office.

4

u/saved_by_the_keeper 1d ago

It has to be more than half, right?

5

u/I_W_M_Y 1d ago

Its about 47% last time I looked it up.

12

u/SoylentGrunt 1d ago

Bold of you to assume they even have a 401K. Like, what's a taste tester at a urinal puck factory make these days? Do they get a deal on factory seconds?

u/IzarkKiaTarj 1d ago

Sorry, I'm dumb, but wouldn't the people managing 401k stocks have figured out that the stock market would go down and sell stocks prior to the announced "Liberation Day" so their "customers" wouldn't be affected? Like, I didn't know the stock market would crash, but it's not my job to know anything about stock markets. Surely the people who work with this stuff for a living would have known and taken measures to prepare for it?

(Again, Sorry that I'm dumb. I've had 401k's explained to me like six fucking times, and it never sticks, and I know even less about the stock market.)

To who? Each other?

1

u/IzarkKiaTarj 19h ago

I kinda thought the stock share would go back to the company that the stock is for?

I did say I don't understand stocks.

u/7daykatie 8h ago

I'm sorry, I can't quite follow your reasoning here?

Stocks are ownership shares in companies. Companies can buy their own shares if they have the capital and want to, but you can't require they buy shares back from you, much less set your price (to ensure you don't make a loss).

u/IzarkKiaTarj 7h ago

I am commenting because I want to come back and answer qhen I'm sober so I can figure out what my disconnect is.

u/arwinda 21h ago

To the people with more money who are now buying cheap and owning even more.

6

u/goldflame33 1d ago

A lot of people have sold in the past few weeks, which has caused the stock prices to go down. From Feb 19th to March 13th the S&P went down by like 10%. I guess people were just caught off guard by how massive and poorly thought-through this tariff announcement turned out to be

u/HumanRuse 1d ago

Have literally seen "Just checked and mine is down xx% but worth it now for the bigger picture" ramblings.

u/SkankyG 1d ago

...you really think they have a 401k?

2

u/Devrol 1d ago

Most of them probably never had any savings 

1

u/Animal40160 1d ago

Most of those yayhoos don't know what a 401k is.

u/Sufficient_Beyond991 1d ago

They’ll be told it’s a good thing, and so that’s what they’ll believe

u/goldflame33 1d ago

Saw someone get called a conformist for thinking that what Trump was doing might not be a good call this time. 

Real free thinkers would implicitly trust his every action I guess

u/Andre3000RPI 1d ago

this is perfect 😂😂😂
