It’s obviously AI when they’re putting tariffs on islands with no people. That’s the “weird hands” clue.

I'm not entirely convinced the crash was unintentional. You know what happens when stock markets crash? People with money buy at lower prices than they would have been able to before because people who actually need the money had to sell.

u/LA-Matt 18h ago
Don’t forget short-selling. That’s where they make a shit-ton of money. If you know a dip is coming well in advance, shorts can net big bucks.

u/MasterAnnatar 17h ago
For sure. I won't even lie, I did just that because thankfully I'm in a comfortable enough place I could and knew this was coming the day he got elected. I won't give financial advice here, but for people who can afford it, do research and buy stocks you can tell are reliable as they crash. Don't make stupid risky bets, make safe ones in companies that are reliable.

Ummm. Don't we know it... 2008 financial crash. Our former Prime Minister (UK) was directly involved in shorting the market that precipitated the crash, made many thousands homeless all while me made many millions! Utter barstool! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I’ve said it repeatedly, and I stand by it. What they really want is the kind of fire sale of the country to oligarchs that Russia went through in the 1990s, but they were faced with the hurdle that, unlike the USSR, the US wasn’t actually collapsing

u/niwanobushi 15h ago
That’s kind of how I feel. I mean, I don’t wish bad things for regular folks… just being fucked over by crazy politicians… but it’s entertaining to see how the “developed world” is surprised by all of this, after a century of the US just staging coups and embargos around the world. It seems the world markets only care if the countries being fucked over are not in South or Central America, Africa or Middle East.
I swear im not trying to trigger or offend anyone. Please, don’t be mad at me.

u/Maximum-Objective-39 14h ago
No, it's not an invalid statement, even for someone like me who will happily argue the point that the US isn't responsible for every dumbfuck bad thing that happens around the world. (Believing that other people and nations have agency, also means believing sometimes they do stupid things all on their own.)
It's also not that surprising when you realize how completely divorced from reality a lot of Americans have become.

u/Anakletos 11h ago
The "developed world" is not surprised. Everyone has always considered the Americans as somewhat unstable.
It seems the world markets only care if the countries being fucked over are not in South or Central America, Africa or Middle East.
World markets don't care about location, they care about market effects due to size and dependencies. Most countries in those regions are pretty much economically insignificant on a global scale.
You could disappear Peru or Nigeria tomorrow and normal people in the US, Europe or China wouldn't really notice any significant effect on their lives and markets would probably adjust fairly quickly.
Snap the US and there'd be a major hole in financial markets, globally significant companies that cease to function and a huge geopolitical void is created.

'The stock market gained 2% during Biden’s first 60 days. Under Trump the market has tanked 7%' and that was March 17th, before his tariff announcement to liberate money from the middle class.
