Yeah, that's what I said. Nice try. Again, nobody even takes you seriously anymore.

You and some of your cronies on here aren't "everybody" no matter how high and mighty you think you are.

It's odd how on one thread you can make claims that someone said something they didn't because "you know what they meant". But when the role is reversed? Not so much.

As you would say, "It's there in black and white for everyone to see."

Aaaaand now you're seeing ghosts again.


I said nothing about being "everybody", I said nothing that would indicate "high and mighty".

OCD said this was all a plot so that billionaires could sell all of their stakes and then strategically buy them back at the bottom. I said I'm buying now, he said this isn't the bottom, he even called me a fool for buying so early. I said it doesn't matter if you make 20%


Please describe the psychosis-induced gymnastics required to turn that into I'm high and mighty and better than everyone else. Try not to start with "you see" or "it's odd"... everybody here generally quits reading right after that.

Working class Americans for the most part don't have such an advantage and as much as it pains you to admit it you know that's true. But that doesn't seem to bother you............

So day two of the aftermath of “Liberation Day” we saw another 2300 point fall in the dow. A talking head said that’s in the neighborhood of 8 TRILLION dollars lost. Libertarians are turning on Trump. Some republicans are turning on Trump. Barstool sports guy had a melt down as he realized he was 7 million down. And some posters here at DT are saying, “More please!”… ycmtsu.

I expect at least one more day of significant falling as other countries will respond with counter-tariffs by the first part of the week. Cheers to $3500 iphones. Smh.

The reality of the Trump tariff policy is just beginning to sink in and it is not good.

There will be a lot of surcharge attempts to cover the additional cost of tariffs for imported goods that were purchased but not delivered when the tariffs went into effect.

Nike moved its production from China to Vietnam, and now gets slammed with a higher tariff.

I hope common sense takes over and Congress gets the courage to reverse the course.

This was just too radical of a change to drop without warning or an incremental approach.

It would take a monumental effort for Congress to break free. When you break from the admin, the wrath is swift and the wake is littered with corpses. Look at the House Republicans who voted for impeachment. Look at Mitch McConnell, once arguably the most powerful Republican, sitting completely neutered. Romney is out.

You’re either dead in the water, like the people I just mentioned, or you’ve completely capitulated (Rubio, Vance, Graham et al). Very, very few still remain. And the ones who do, still provide some minimal amount of lip service.

I don’t think Republicans would turn against Trump in full until they were absolutely sure if self preservation, which is the goal the vast majority of our politicians in general have above all else.

History will not be kind to these MAGA traitors.

bro he messed with old white money. not rich white guy money, OLD white money. Even i know thats a big no-no.

WE are three months into 48...or....more cuz Trump going to change Constitution....and we much greater now than before.....all our institutions are humming and everyone is working together now that border is secure....inflation- fixed, stock market- up, Trump won another golf championship.....all is GREAT. Right.

You are smoking some good stuff there.

So far I've made it through this current administration sober. But it takes a lot of willpower.

FIFY… I knew you were being sarcastic, some didn’t.

“On one side, the president is reordering trade,” Bessent said. “On the other side, we are shedding excess labor in the federal government, and bringing down federal borrowings.”


“That will give us the labor that we need for the new manufacturing,” Bessent continued, arguing artificial intelligence and automation would limit how many workers needed to fill new jobs.

I don’t want to share my immediate reactions to the article, so I’ll just ask, what does everyone think of this?

I could swear somebody said we were getting ready to hit automation-ai-robot era in manufacturing a few months months ago, and that these billionaires are taking steps to insure they control and profit from it while we get to fight over scraps… damn radical lunatic lefty conspiracy BS.

And why would they think the laid off federal workers, mostly white colar jobs, would make good robotic automation techs? I smell BS. We are all about to be thrown to the wolves.

I think it's just more crap being spewed as per usual. New factories will be built with automation far more than workers. And why would college educated people want to work in factories doing manufacturing jobs? This smokescreen is so easy to see through it isn't even putting off smoke.

That all sounds great but none of those things happen overnight. That "excess labor" is going to have to wait a while until all these new mfg plants get set up... if they ever do.

Because AI essentially nullifies the average 4 year degree. AI and modernization can replace most of those jobs in an office environment. That’s the only thing I can think they are thinking. They are so stupid, Elon probably has them thinking we already have SUPER intelligence.

I wouldn't worry about that OCD!!! Probably safe there!
