This is a good thing. It needs to happen. A reset. It needs to occur. Yes, there will be widespread economic pain. But the current situation is completely untenable with regards to our national debt and the US dollar as the world reserve currency. The whole thing needs to collapse. It HAS to. And Trump will get ALL the blame for it.

Economic collapse fixes all these problems, allows for a hard-reset which is what is desperately needed, and it will all be seen as Trump’s fault.

Please explain why this is a bad thing? Because your portfolio will be negatively impacted? News flash - everyone is going to lose something. So you’ll still be exactly where you are, relative to everyone else.


Let it burn.

This isn't true. The very rich will manage to get even richer out of any collapse. That is why they support Trump.

Ford is in trouble because they followed Democrats' global warming religion and went all in on electric vehicles.


So did Elon. But with the tariffs and consumer confidence going the way it is, things aren’t looking good, period. Ford is heavy into the very expensive pickup truck game, and we’ve probably hit a ceiling on who is going to buy a $75k truck right now.


The pickup line is not the source of the billions of dollars in losses. If Ford had stayed out of electric vehicles, the company would be in great financial health. However, Biden passed the Inflation Reduction Act and pushed new mileage rules, which encouraged Ford execs to push for electric vehicles. Toyota stayed out.


Toyota is being forced into merger with Honda because it is no longer viable as a stand alone company. Want to try for a better example?

1) Climate change isn't a religion, it is a fact.
2) The problem was not Ford going all in on EV's - ask Rivian how their sales are going - but rather the tariffs and the impact of tariffs on the cost of the vehicle.

40% of Americans 65 and older rely on Social Security as their only source of income. What happens when the SS system collapses?

True. But the majority, by far, of truck sales are not those. The trucks that make them big money are the fleet sales. 10 thousand to this government, 5000 to that contractor, etc.

The company i work for has some M&A plans ready to go but they are waiting to see what happens. Our industry has been incredibly quiet when there are usually a couple big announcements per quarter, so all our competitors are basically doing the same thing.

Yes. Second question anyone else feel like our country is going to crash and burn very soon?


American labor is not too expensive. Corporate greed however is very expensive. America is the only industrial nation without guarantee paid sick leave, we have horrible healthcare and well being which we pay extremely high rates of insurance for, our education systemS don’t ensure every child succeeds, and yet we walk around touting billionaires and trillionaires as though that was ever the expectation of the ideals Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.

Yes, I’ve been buying Gold ETFs. Bitcoin will probably crash too as it’s a speculative asset. Commodity ETFs are probably a good choice.

But yeah, completely avoidable if half the country weren’t fkwits whose sole purpose in life is to cause pain to own libs and anyone who isn’t straight.

This blatant ethics violation is the intent: crash the economy so Trump and Elon can get rich. This crypto comes with no regulations, since they’ve dismantled the CFPB.





Omg this is just criminal!


Then why isn't Congress calling for impeachment?


Because no republicans would vote for it.


They’re going to let America crash and burn. CNBC reporting consumer confidence report hits 12-year low.
