  1. All they have to do now is speak the fuck up!  Enough of this pretending that this orange pedo knows what the fuck he is doing economically.  He doesnt.  This is a terrible situation.

  2. This thread is a cesspool of left wing rhetoric and hardly about economics.

  3. A good quote from Babylon 5: “It’s too late for the pebbles to vote. The avalanche has begun”.
    They CHOSE to give him all this power, and now it is being used against them.

  6. The citizens of this country deserve guaranteed affordable and universal health care just like our peer nations have provided for their citizens. Health care NOT tied to employment.
    * But no, we are prey for greedy insurers, drug corporations, run away hospital costs which leads to one of the largest reasons for bankruptcy’s.
    Tax the rich vampires sucking every dime we earn; leaving us on the brink of poverty.

  7. A great way to start would be to raise wages. Then cut back hours so that people don’t have to spend their whole life working and can still make a living wage. You would be surprised. When people have a little extra money and free time, they will buy shit.

  8. Our nation’s top CEOs need to stop acting like spineless cowards then. Stand up to Trump and MAGA. Stop doing pay for play scams.

    Oh and Trump is a child rapist, release the unredacted Epstein files.

  10. No shit. Business owners and investors like stability, especially in the long run.

    Traditionally, American businesses (small and mega-corps) had greater opportunity for success compared to other countries because:

    (1) Laws changed slowly. Our legally system is based on precedent and only changes incrementally;

    (2) Property rights were enforced;

    (3) Our financial markets are fairly transparent and manipulation is (at least theoretically) frowned upon, thanks to the SEC, IRS, DOJ, FDA, etc. Well, those agencies previously did. White collar crime has been de-prioritized and most of those agencies are now neutered;

    (4) Stable government where extremism was tempered by personal
    political ambitions;

    (5) Comparatively low government corruption. You didn’t have to factor bribes (*cough* Tom Homan) into the cost of starting or expanding a business, just regulatory and legal compliance.

    Upshot: Financial investment and running businesses is inherently risky.

    For many decades, thanks to its stable regulatory and legal environment, the U.S. gave innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors a reasonably fair playing field to prosper.

    Those halcyon days are over, at least for now. Americans are going to experience what happens when the world’s best, brightest, and most innovative people are no longer concentrated in their country. There is a reason the U.S. was the wellspring for Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, Disney, Hollywood, Apple, Microsoft, etc.

  11. Trump is weaponizing fiduciary duties of CEOs. They are compelled to do what’s best for the business – and unfortunately speaking out is bad for their business because they’ll be targeted.

  12. It’d be such a poetic justice that these CEOs work behind closed doors to bring him down 

  13. It is just a gimmick for self preservation when political powers ultimately shifts. They are behind him 100% when it matters to Trump.
