So it turns out that everyone likes money. That's why money was invented. When Trump destroys everyone's money, the rich and poor alike suddenly have a shared interest.

Related to what you are saying, this sounds like such an interesting analysis of what is going on. That the billionaires thought they bought trump off (so they supported him)...but didn't realize that he was actually crazy (regarding tariffs).. it's also interesting that Musk keeps saying he hates tariffs... and really the only smart person is Bessent.. who, I just read, said fired feds will fill manufacturing jobs.. what?!

We all paid hundreds of thousand of dollars for a college degree and masters and phDs so we can tighten screws on iphones, don'chya know?

the democrats aren't the ones marching in charlottesvill chanting about jews with tiki torches.

How about being a little more accurate and nuances...the democrats support the right of Palestinians to exist without being exterminated. the democrats do not support Hamas nor the actions of October 7th.

But please go on with your absolutely horrendous and false narrative.

Wealthy business leaders are turning on US President Donald Trump over his plan to impose a colossal set of tariffs on America’s trading partners, as losses mount on stock markets around the world.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who endorsed Trump’s 2024 presidential bid, warned Sunday that going ahead with the new tariffs was tantamount to launching an “economic nuclear war.”

On Wednesday, Trump said he would impose significantly higher “reciprocal” tariffs on dozens of countries that have the highest trade imbalances with the United States.

In a post on X, Ackman said “business investment will grind to a halt, (and) consumers will close their wallets” if the new levies do indeed come into force. “We will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate,” he added in the post, which was viewed 10.6 million times

Unless Trump changes tack, “we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down,” the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management warned.

“What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large, long-term economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?” he said, adding that “the president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe.”

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, warned Monday that the tariffs threatened to raise prices, drive the global economy into a downturn and weaken America’s standing in the world.

“The recent tariffs will likely increase inflation and are causing many to consider a greater probability of a recession,” Dimon said in an annual letter to shareholders. “Whether or not the menu of tariffs causes a recession remains in question, but it will slow down growth.”

What the F?!

Stupid and impossibly ignorant take. Rich and poor do not have a shared interest. Trump can't destroy the money that poor people never had to begin with. 88% of stock market holdings is in the hands of 10% people ONLY.

One doesn't need to be a history major to know that, some of the first victims of autocratic-leaning regimes are none other than the people who supported and helped propel them to power.Bill Ackman is just an uncultured zionist who was all too giddy at the thought of his 'enemies' feeling the brunt of his attack dog repeated assaults.The reality is getting sobering by the hour for him and his ilk. And I'm loving it every second of it .

For context: His hedge fund is down 15% and counting since his guy started his beloved trade wars.

I agree with you but it's hard to love every second when the whole country is sinking even faster.

There is a good opinion piece about how shite finance bros and billionaires were at predicting Trump’s reign of chaos.

A lot of finance people didn’t think Kamala was going to follow through on her promise to be more business friendly than Biden. They expected her to be worse than Biden. I’m not sure why there was so much distrust.

Are you attempting to argue that a stock market crash won't hurt people who don't own stock? Do you know what stock is? What it's connected to? What happens to a company when it's stock crashes?

This was in response to "fired feds will fill manufacturing jobs."

So you are asking what percentage of feds? 92% are white collar workers; 31.5% have bachelors degrees, and 22% have advanced degrees. 28% are over 55 -- not going to start over in a factory.
