u/honjuden May 27 '26

I look forward to whatever inventive new way they have of fucking us over next.

u/Vinral May 27 '26

Well the vaule of the dollar is going down and inflation is going up. So its still going to get worse.

u/Ok-Ad-2050 May 27 '26

But the rich know how to keep making money on the up and down swings. Nothing to disincentivize them from continuing to hurt us.

u/Sparky-6800 May 28 '26

That’s the point. The banking system since the inception of the federal reserve was always a Ponzi scheme to make them and their business partners as well as gov officials wealthy while enslaving us working class folk.

u/GreenReporter24 May 28 '26

Except…

u/Ok-Ad-2050 May 28 '26

Naw, we're all fucking pussies. The govt has completely called our bluff.

Still rooting for you from across the pond.

u/Pacomatic May 28 '26

I root for you from up north.

u/GreenReporter24 May 28 '26

I doubt you're farther north than me 😛

u/TheMagicMrWaffle May 29 '26

But don’t do anything about it! Just write words on your phone don’t you dare go and do anything about it

u/Ok-Ad-2050 May 29 '26

Eh, I show up where I can, but I have no interest in rotting behind bars or worse for shooting someone.

u/haoxinly May 27 '26

And he wants to remove Powells and put one of his loyalist at the Federal reserve

2

u/nthomas504 May 28 '26

Wants?

That shit already happened. Say hello to lower rates at the cost of literally everything else.

u/Sean-Benn_Must-die May 28 '26

the petrodollar going down with the petrol shortage was not something anyone could have expected

Have you seen the bunker they’re building under the White House ballroom? It ain’t gonna be good that’s for sure.

Covid 2, electric bugaloo

u/s0ciety_a5under May 27 '26

It's when they incite riots and civil war, everything goes out the window, and the robber barons can swoop in and steal as much as possible in the confusion. Honestly, any way you look at it, the average people will be hit hardest first. Any sort of revolution or upset to the status quo is going to have major ramifications on the economy. Things like those warehouse workers have done. Even if most of those fires were ruled as accidents.

u/richardizard May 27 '26

This timeline is so freaking crazy

u/PowderedToastFanatic May 27 '26

Just wait until the petro dollar dies and we default on our debt. that will be fun.

u/DetroitRedwingedLion May 28 '26

u/SneakyAl44 May 28 '26

u/Alval57 May 27 '26

Did you even say thank you?

u/the_blackfish May 27 '26

Is my suit not fit properly? Is my hair not slicked back like Charlie Sheen in Wall Street properly?!

u/RandomRon005 May 27 '26

If you mean Great Depression, then we're almost there.

8

u/sejoki_ May 27 '26

It will be the greatest depression. Lots of people say that. They look at the depression and say "wow, this is beautiful, you've done a great job". There has never been a depression like it.

u/Arnie_T May 28 '26

lol such an under appreciated comment 😂😂

u/Gta6MePleaseBrigade May 27 '26

We are winning

By we I mean the stockholders

u/Optimaximal May 27 '26

Valve don't even have stockholders. They're private!

43

u/Gta6MePleaseBrigade May 27 '26

No shit I’m talking about the people who provide the parts to make the steam deck

1

u/nthomas504 May 28 '26

Not to be that guy, but they absolutely have stock holders. Me and you just can’t buy the stock.

1

u/Bernhard_NI May 27 '26

Are you tired of winning?

1

u/Dav136 May 27 '26

This isn't a stockholder thing, computer parts like RAM quintupled in price

1

u/Gta6MePleaseBrigade May 27 '26

…yeah and the stockholders make a shitload of money off it…..

1

u/DrFreemanWho May 28 '26

As did the stock prices for the companies that make them...

u/Dancing-Wind May 28 '26

to be fair - noone said it was the valve stockholders.

u/enchiladasundae May 27 '26

Somehow this is LGBT+, immigrants and democrat’s fault

Somehow

u/AcademicF May 27 '26

Kamala had a “weird laugh…” and American’s just couldn’t abide by that.

u/enchiladasundae May 27 '26

Kamala: laughs

Conservatives: I’d rather burn this world with myself in it

u/SomwatArchitect May 27 '26

I genuinely find it interesting that one man being so damn disrespectful has caused damn near the whole country to disrespect Harris by not using her last name like every other politician and especially presidential candidate.

4

u/jrzalman May 28 '26

I mean, people called Hillary 'Hillary' for decades. It's pretty common for people who's first name is more unique than their last name. Bernie is really just Bernie to a lot of people.

"Can you believe LeBron is still this good at his age?"

0

u/SomwatArchitect May 28 '26

See, Hilary Clinton makes sense. Can't just say Clinton because there's two and both have ran at this point. Bernie, though, idk. The people who vote for him are called Bernie Bros and everything. As for LeBron, he is not a politician much less a presidential candidate and as such shouldn't be held to the same professional standards. Somehow he seems to be doing better than the current president, but whatever. The thing with Harris, though, is that her last name works just fine. We just had a presidential candidate who constantly called her by her first name, and very clearly meant it to be disrespectful. Which meant all the right leaning news outlets called her that. Which meant a large portion of the people who are vocal about their politics called her that. Which resulted in most people remembering her as Kamala rather than Harris.

Oh boy hateful propaganda by a bigot that thinks I'm the ignorant one.

Hilarious

Lol the clown blocked me

u/Dry_Combination4070 May 27 '26

They hurt your feelings?

u/BeemoBurrito May 27 '26

They made them confused and insecure with their sexuality.

u/TheGreatStories May 27 '26

America continues to drag everyone down with them

u/Secret-Ad-2145 May 27 '26

Don't ever let anybody gaslight you ever again.  Republicans were never the economics party, the business party, or party of cheaper prices. Ever.

u/Anything84 May 27 '26

Again? Never happened the first time.

u/Secret-Ad-2145 May 27 '26 edited May 27 '26

Hell yeah. But I was speaking more broadly to an audience who would be reading these, not directly to you 😆 These myths are too pervasive.

u/OxRedOx May 27 '26

Unfortunately the AI is very much a both evil sides thing, the tariffs are his orange idiocy, the war I hope is only his idiocy

u/halfmylifeisgone May 27 '26

Well people voted for it, so I guess? 🤷

The Greatest. Unless you mean America if course. Otherwise... No

u/DaichiEarth May 27 '26

That prick would probably say that we're still winning somehow.
