I think the double whammy of RAM and oil shortages are almost certain to exacerbate inflation. Digital goods are going to get more expensive because of RAM, and physical goods that need to be shipped from place to place are going to get more expensive due to oil.

Another pointless and endless war costing the world untold amounts of blood and money, all for nothing.

just an fyi to anyone without knowledge of the finance industry, all the big indexes and shit are dominated by various algos unless there's a 10% move down.

overwhelming majority of "X does Y because Z" articles you see out there are just building a narrative after something has moved because it's one giant casino, but the powers that be need people to trade otherwise there's no liquidity to extract. combine that with short-selling (selling things you don't know) and this is where "sell the news" comes from

so, X drops a bunch for whothefuckknows...push out fearmongering stories it's because of (insert disaster) to get people who don't know any better to sell when they see their retirement accounts down some big figure. or...when your the one running the US...create your own disasters

So now it's alright to pay attention to the Epstein files?

The stock market is crashing, and gas is spiking.

Does that mean we can go back to caring about raping children again?

"Dow tumbles 1.100 points..."

SO FAR

The DOW is almost 50,000

The stonks are crashing, war is raging, and the ocean is full of microplastic. What to do?…

So this means it's time to start prosecutions of pedophiles in trump files, according to the criteria given by Pamela Bondi.

Not a word about it on the nightly news or morning news, hmmmm.

Someday, in Bondi's voice: "IT IS UNDER 9,000!"

Good. Keep going.

It'll bounce back once they see all the money those government contracts generate. We had KBR driving shuttle buses and Taco Bell being ran out of trailers on the FOBs in 2008 Iraq.

I wonder if Pam wants to discuss Trump’s stock market.

I think they'll be just as selective about this (and the huge dips right after his stupid and illegal tariffs were announced) just like they are about Donvict's economy in 2020.

They act like it's no fair to talk about the economy then because of Covid. Sorry, that kind of thing comes with the job, too. And honestly, I don't know what he really did in his first term that would have boosted the economy anyway since Obama already had it on a great path.

He'll blame Biden.

This would be a pretty big deal if that was that for the sp500.

USA, USA , bomb them yes ! Yes! Freedom to the world!!!

The war ends when Israel decides it is over since they clearly own our government, financial sector, our tech overlords and soon most of our news outlets. Considering that they've been at war with their neighbors for over 50 years I would not hold my breath.
