Honestly, anyone with a functioning brain could’ve predicted this. Republicans destroy the economy, inflate the stock/housing market on poor fundamentals, crash everything while their billionaire donors get richer and then they let Democrats clean up the mess while sabotaging/criticizing them the entire way. Anyone who can’t recognize that pattern is an absolute moron.

People actually think that a bunch of billionaires mucking around in government are going to give a rats ass about them.

That's because they are all "temporarily displaced millionaires" just waiting for their check to roll in. Most of them don't even know what a Roth IRA is, much less how to invest. They keep looking up for that trickle down to hit them, though.

The trickle of piss is definitely going down on their faces

Yeah it is, and that cult will lap it up like it's the finest Champagne and then complain about the "libz" keeping them down while standing in the breadline when they don't get their slashed SSA checks in time.

The only thing Elon cares about is sucking money out of every other government department so he can fund his mars mission. Guaranteed

Yeah but a couple millionaires in congress are the actual “elites” not a guy who buys twitter to simp for Trump and an office in the whitehouse to be the shadow president.

If you think about your average moron, know that there are morons that are 50% dumber than this guy.

I have yet to hear a Republican have a good faith argument. They are just MAGA folks who don't want to oust themselves. If you remained Red after Trump getting elected, you are just complicit to traitors.

They don't even have coherent arguments any more. It's "I love that he's destroying the woke DEI stay mad" but with more typos.

It’s been true since Nixon. Eisenhower was the last Republican who didn’t completely fuck up the economy.

You don’t know the data I guess. Can you find me a graph of inflation, interest rates, S&P price, avg P/E? Tell me what’s it says. Hint: things went to shit in 2021, but the market was priced high so that’s good I guess I mean my firm had huge realizations, great year for buyout deals… 2022 not so much but price of goods stayed high at least?

u/Wiskersthefif 28d ago

Yup, then the republicans inherit a functioning economy they take credit for, and start the cycle alllll over again.

The economy doesn't revolve around the stock market. In fact, its because of the stock market that a lot of commodities become expensive, such as oil. YOU are the one who keeps those rich bastards rich by giving value to a product that would otherwise not have as much.

u/Mariach1Mann 27d ago

If you don't believe what I said try and check what happened with oil prices after 2008 when nobody wanted to invest due to the crash.

u/BigT3XRichards0n 27d ago

Let’s address one thing at a time

  • Essential commodities like housing, energy, food, healthcare, etc. have value based on the elasticity of the supply/demand curve. If hedge funds start buying up houses/land it forces ordinary people to rely more and more on credit which leads to a higher default rate. Nobody is driving up the value by buying publicly traded REITs, for example, and the intrinsic value of those homes depends on the fact that people will always need shelter. 

  • Retail traders like myself don’t have the capital to inflate or crash markets unilaterally. Most people only have exposure to the markets through their retirement based on broad market indexes controlled by financial institutions. 

  • Honestly, I have no idea what your point was regarding the 2008/2009 crash and oil prices. Most private investors had no choice but to liquidate near the bottom so they had some money left over after losing their jobs. Billionaires love crashes because they have the liquidity to either ride it out or buy on the way down - that is, they’re buying shares/houses for ordinary people after they were FORCED into a sale. 

I’m not sure what medication you’re on or what medication you need to be taking but your entire post was rambling nonsense. Rephrase why someone like ME is responsible for driving up the price of commodities via the stock market. Start by making a coherent argument and go from there.
