Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And it won't be once sales drop precipitously across entire industries. Lots of manufacturing simply doesn't exist in the US anymore, and there isn't enough time to start it up before massive economic impacts.
The effects of this Trump administration will be clear and they will be bad. I'm somewhat optimistic that they will eventually start to generate a kind of unity we haven't seen in the US in a long time. But, to be clear, it will be a very, very, very rough few years to get there, and it assumes the world isn't consumed by massive wars anyway.
What's gonna happen is that prices will go up, and companies in the US will gouge even harder on top of that because they have an external excuse to. Maybe things will get so bad that Democrats are able to win in the next election, but after the Biden administration, it's not like they have any credibility when it comes to standing up to price gouging in any meaningful way.
Democrats will need a candidate who isn't some preordained corpodem like the last 3 cycles. Because if they do that again, they will be running as second worst yet the fuck again, and any noises they make about wanting prices to come down or wages to go up will be just that. Noise.
I keep thinking about how musk was talking about the upcoming hardship... I wonder if he was maybe referring to this too. He had to have known.
I've been asking people, might as well ask you. When's the right time to cash out of the casino? Maybe buy puts?
Might seem crass to talk about making money off this disaster, but I have people I love to take care of.

The best way to win is not to play
Thanks for responding but the best way to win is to play smart. I've made great plays and stupid plays. 90% of the money we've saved for a downpayment on a house is in the market, in index funds.
I'm just asking around, mostly in person, for when other people are going to cash out and why.
Depends, are you near retirement age? Else holding for another 20 years is nearly always the right move. Hold and buy the dip, if at all possible.
Haha I'll never retire. I know this advice has been true forever but this time really could be different. Thanks.
If it's ACTUALLY different, the US dollar no longer exists. so no worries trying to outplay
I've said pretty much the same thing before!
