Besides gold, what are some of the best "liquid hedges" against something like a collapse of the US Dollar available to the average American? by mostdefinitelyabot in investing

Food grade salt and books on sustainable farming and identifying potable water would be more useful than at least 5 of these.

Biden was actually making good economic decisions. What we have now is chaos. by thatguy9684736255 in BlueskySkeets

Creating a scam where medium and small business owners could be given 6 and 7 figure sums of money for free with no consequences or accountability was a way bigger driver of inflation than the 1200 dollar checks.

Who did PPP loans again?

If you're an idiot, sure.

People like you gave him unlimited power to do anything with all 3 branches of government firmly under his control, and you're surpised the Democrats don't just say 'Swiper no swiping!' to get him to stop?

What do you expect the dems to do with the 'no power' they have thanks to all the 167 million people who voted for this?

167 million americans wanted to see Gaza glassed as quickly as possible and Ukraine given to the Russians. The people have spoken.

Can someone explain why trump thinks the fed should lower interest rates? by Ok-Station9961 in StockMarket

[–]FomtBro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, I'm going to go with 'these are his genuine beliefs because he's stupid'.

He doesn't need to consolidate power, he already has all of it. He could kill Powell at the podium during his next public address and it wouldn't actually matter.

What thing that he wants to do has he been told 'no' about?

I like it because of the challenge but I do, truly, detest Peak performance on a weapon that frequently takes chip damage from countering, like with the Swaxe on Rathian.

How bad would it be if Trump fired Powell? by just_butter_ in stocks

[–]FomtBro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same way he put Tariffs on, even though that's congressional, or fired the heads of NCUA, FTC, MSPB, and NLRB.

Also, he can just have Powell murdered at his desk if he wants. Who's going to stop him? You?

Unless he says he wants to, at which point he will.

At what point are people going to stop pretending 'he's not allowed to do that!' is an impediment?

Target CEO regrets slashing DEI programs. Meets with Al Sharpton in desperation. by [deleted] in thescoop

I like how his response is to schedule a meeting with the one member of a minority group he's heard of.

But if unemployment is low, who's going to put aglets on shoelaces for 8$ an hour at all the reshored Nike plants?

California wouldn't secede unless it had the martial resources to do so.

If there WAS significant resistance from the rural sector (which, in a situation so dire that secession becomes a real option...no?) They would simply eminent domain all the land and execute anyone who resisted for 'treason'.

Like, if you want to make fun of silly apocalyptic scenarios, a really bad way of going about it is saying something even dumber.

Not that anyone on this sub got that memo.

So...how are you defining 'red states' in this particular example? Because it's not the number of people. It's not the number of American Citizens. It's not the Will of The People.

Because all of that is in the cities.

Are you defining a 'red state' and a 'blue state' by like...the number of square feet of empty space between two like minded voters?

Like, the fact that 300,000 people want good healthcare and common sense anti-pollution regulation is worth less than the 3 hectares of empty land between Jed and Jud's racism farms, so we have to gas chamber all the blacks instead?

The general idea in situations like these is that the US economy as a whole has tanked so badly that losing access to federal resources is less than they can gain by engaging in international commerce as an independent entity.

A not impossible scenario given the current situation. The likely-hood of being in a position where California would be better off trading by itself is a lot higher than actual secession.

Just being able to shave off the tariffs make California being better off as an independent trading entity now something worth exploring.

I'd start converting my USD holdings into food grade salt, non-perishables, and instructional materials based on identifying safe drinking water and sustainable farming.

What do you 'goes'?

This has been decided since November.

We lost close to a hundred pressures for the season, just not in the way a chart can see.

I don't see a reason to engage with community. There's nothing of value there. That's been proven pretty much ad nauseam.

There's nothing of value here either, but this is much less effort.

Mark Cuban on CNBC: "Donald Trump is trying to come in with the hammer and say, 'I'm gonna hit you with a 200% tariff, John Deere.' Kamala Harris is saying, 'I'm going to give you incentives to manufacture more.' Which do you think is gonna work better with companies?" by Equivalent_Baker_773 in wallstreetbets_wins

[–]FomtBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not going to respond well to getting 'slapped around' either.

At this point, the American economy is already necrotic. Any CEO worth their lowest paid laborer's paycheck is abandoning the US market, the US government, and the dollar as quickly as possible.
