Big corporations and shareholders are losing money. Boo hoo. Millions of people can't afford a house, but we should care that the rich dont get richer.

Eggs must be soooo much cheaper right now, yes?

Trump personally fucked a chicken and started the bird flu.

No, but he just disbanded the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection.

Seems like a really fucking smart thing to do when we're dealing with the worst poultry crop disease in modern history.

Did you even know about the "National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection" until some news source or people in your socials started bringing it up? If so, are you an expert on they dynamics with this Committee and egg prices? Also, do you just suppose that Trump disbanded this for no good reason at all, but to perpetuate higher egg prices?

You're forgetting that people got rid of pensions, and the retirement plan for millions of Americans is basically tied to the stock market.

Its average middle class retirement savings that are taking the hit.

I saw a stat that the top 10% of the United States in wealth owns 92% of the stocks; I don’t give a shit about the stock market going down, I’m not retiring soon anyway anyways, and the bottom, half of the United States is not invested at all, so they get online and cry about the stock market yet they’re not invested… lmao

…because the economy affects us all?

Big companies dropping means there’s less competition and less overall production, both of which tend to drive up prices on everyday goods. Cost of living was already one of the biggest concerns for the American public, and this is a pretty clear sign that it will get even harder to live for all but the richest.

Stock market going down temporarily is good, I get to buy stocks in my 401(k) on discount😊

They're doing this while firing thousands of people and then rehiring thousands of those back while also raising the federal deficit. Where are these "savings" going? Cutting social programs while spending more money somehow. It's a big grift and you're not part of the club

It’s infinitely better than still giving money to HAMAS for condoms & money to foreign countries to study trans women periods & other ludicrous programs that dont serve tax payers.

So is your platform just supporting the super rich and fuck everyone else?

Id much rather hamas not create more terrorists. Much of these types of research people point to as ridiculous result in scientific discovery that later ends up in commercial use that wouldn't other wise be available without public research dollars

giving money to HAMAS for condoms

I thought you people hated terrorism. Why do you want them to procreate?

I'm pretty sure something like 60% Americans have investments in the market
