Like with Covid. Oh well, it's the price we pay for their wealth.

I know, I know the saying already, that everything before "but" is insincere, though I don't know how to express myself without appearing a lunatic in this lunacy of a planet show.

So...

I'm not a conspiracist... but... I think COVID was meant to eliminate more people than it did. Of course, of course under the guise of an accident and pandemic. It didn't helped China, it didn't helped Asia, it didn't helped Europe, and it certainly didn't helped the US.

It didn't do much but create a crap show for everyone. It did killed people, I've witnessed it myself, but not apocalyptic levels of a shake-up. A lot more people were resilient, healthy as a horse, some others had a cold sympton, less than half needed more help, with the last category fighting between life or death.

Results? Officially (more, unofficially) almost 1 billion people got infected with only 8 million dying of Covid ––– all around the world.

So, they're mad.
They're incredibly mad that not as many people died - we're 8 billion, for goodness' sake. They're mad on you and me for not dropping dead, gasping for air. They're mad at us.

They're still hinging whether to start a world war or not, or to try different pathogens all over again, or torture us through bleak economic forecasts & crises.


We're now, each one of us individually or together more or less, in a demented competition in avoiding from being killed off imperceptibly by the grand TPTB.

A lot are afraid of death, prisons, beatings etc., so don't expect protests & marches to fix a damn thing.

Everyone else will be fucked.

It's akin to when my husband ran over my toes with the lawnmower. BUT, since I had athletes foot, everything is OK !!
(the above is sarcasm)

To achieve that end,, a recession would be a helpful tool.

Trump's agenda is to damage the USA for Putin and to seize power for himself.

Voters care about the economy. He promised them to make things better when he was elected and so far he has done squat to make things better. All he’s done is fired a lot of government employees including maga government employees who are now in the FAFO phase. He is frightening those of us on SS and Medicare, and I am sure those maga people are not thrilled about possibly losing part or all of their SS and Medicare.

People are so spoiled by the entitlements that have been around for all their lives as well as their parents and grandparents lives that they think they are part of the Constitution or something. They have no idea how hard these entitlements were fought for and what it was like before they came about. Just a few grainy b/w photos of people sitting in front of shacks looking grim with a few tumbleweeds rolling by, while right-wing media tells them it was all fake and staged. And most of the adults who lived through it are gone.

This is a snow job on an unwitting, under educated and half brainwashed population. They won't learn until they have had their noses rubbed in the dog shit, hard. Unfortunately, by the time they wake up, 3/4 of their rights may be gone along with the economic despair they will be dealing with.

hurt people and then laugh while playing golf..............on other peoples dime.............fuck them and that horse they ride.........detox period...........

everyone else might suffer unnecessarily from tariffs and trade war.

Joe Biden's economy was strong by every measure including prices. Prices were high because jobs, wages, and stock market were up so people were buying stuff.

Recession is bad for business. So, is inflation.
So, even these rich folks should not want actions that create this risk.
Aside from the true Gilded Age (135 years ago) the very rich prosper more when the economy booms from the demand side.
So, the rich supporting this makes no sense.

Prices are high now. Recession would supposedly lower prices. It would depress wages when there are fewer jobs.

Then there are people who love to exploit pain for malicious agendas, like an idiotic mass deportation strategy and austerity (cutting benefits).

While what you day is true, there are related negatives to a market dropping.
If the market drops, they're starting at a normal deficit.
And some high wealth people are making a large fraction of their money off the companies they run.
Seeing a drop in demand is bad for their bottom line, both from corporate & personal perspectives.
And, if the crash is bad enough, there is limited upside.
For people who measure their self-worth by their net worth, it doesn't seem like a net positive.

but haven't seen it yet

I agree with you but not everyone thinks this way.

and they'll BANK on a recession too. Joe Kennedy bought movie studios during the Great Depression.

to lower costs and inflation. Wonder how the MAGAs feel about that? Oh, they'll just blame Biden and the Democratic leaders will say nothing, as usual

is good for the Country? He drove into the ground before, how long is it to hit him in the damn face before he realizes that it's him causing these economic burps. No one else ...

I studied Economics once a big survey type of course, an overview, in my Liberal Studies grad program. Nothing remotely similar to a "detox period" was in it.

THIS IS UTTER BULLSHIT!

That'll be next.

Now, where's the wager line on that?

Donnie is playing the tariff game to gain control over domestic industry. He lives tariffs because he can reward or punish almost any industry or in some cases, a specific company if he wants.

He can use that leverage to keep even ceos and billionaires in line. That's the real goal of the tariffs. You thought he cared about the American economy? Ha!

Love this quote from the article:

Holy shit, the US media has their heads so far up his ass that they don't know what's right from wrong anymore. It's insane that they're sane washing this because they're too chicken shit to stand up to him and do the right thing.
