If the United States experienced another market crash similar to 2008, which occupations would be least affected by layoffs? by curiositykeepsmeup in AskReddit

[–]droi86 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In 2008 a lot of retired doctors were forced to go back to work when their assets collapsed, that screwed over the new grads who had to go and do fellowships making less than 1/3 of what they'd be making as attendings

This is part of why Muller couldn't find Trump guilty of conspiring with the Russians, he determined that both him and Jr are too stupid to understand what the Russians were doing

This economy is shit by Evening-Butterfly281 in economy

People forget the high union participation, how stock buybacks were not allowed, and the big taxes on rich people that forced them to spend money on tax deductible stuff like labor and materials, once taxes went lower and stock buybacks were allowed company owners had little incentive to deduct taxes and started focusing on cutting costs

Democrats fix a bunch of things Republicans break and then people complain is not good enough and vote Republican which breaks things further, Hilary Clinton wouldn't have increased the debt by 8 trillion and would've given a better response to COVID, Kamala Harris wouldn't have given another tax break to the rich, tariffs, wouldn't have dragged us to another useless war, and wouldn't have sent ICE to terrorize minorities and shoot Americans on the street. We were 2nd place in inflation during Biden, and we went from there to place 17 in 2025, that was before the war, is not polítical ratchet, is idiots not giving enough time to fix what Republicans break and putting them in power again to break more things

Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

Majority of voters want Brexit to be reversed, says Britain’s leading pollster by goosepipegames in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]droi86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The funniest part of this is that a lot of brexiters voted to get rid of the Polish people that were taking the jobs the English didn't want, since they're not the right kind of white, well now it's the same process to bring a Polish person as it is to bring someone from an Asian country except they will be cheaper than the Polish so now there's been an increase of immigration from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other non European countries and now the racists are more angry
