Since the beginning I’ve said that Elon and his DOGE tech bros know the real value in pillaging these federal agencies is in the data, but not to raid your bank accounts. It’s to influence the outcome of our elections.

As a reminder that protests don’t end where they start: when news of the Stamp Act first arrived in America in May 1765, most printers reacted by advertising on the premise of “buy now before prices go up.” Took until August/September for even the people most affected to actively turn against it.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Respectfully my friend, it’s NOT just the fault of one man. It’s the fault of an entire political party that bowed like cowards to this one man. And it’s the fault of way too many of his voters who allowed him to lie to them every single day for the past 10yrs. They ALL own this.

A sudden drop like this—especially during a global selloff—isn’t a sign of strength. It signals collapsing demand expectations, fear of recession, and market instability. This isn’t prosperity, it’s a warning.

🙄that’s one of the downsides of being so unconnected to the land, and not knowing where your food comes from. The only state in the US that can/does grow coffee at any kind of scale is Hawaii. And it all goes to the tourist trade.

Important to remember that the reason most Trump voters think everything's fine is that their chosen media is telling them little more than that he's cutting government waste and frogmarching criminals out of the country. Real information doesn't reach them. An economic collapse? That might.

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

It’s important because it’s reflective of the amount of real real research and analysis that went into these tariffs. They are not a logical response to an actual economic threat facing the US. They are just a dramatic gesture by an ignorant man.
