      I’m beginning to think Wall Street and this stock market thing might involve scamming and fraudulent activity… Maybe crypto too…

        Yeah, but here is the tragedy to all that: It is still also deciding, which things get the capital investments necessary to exist, and the livelihood of people has been entangled with that shitshow to an absurd degree.

        Sometimes I almost love that I am already at subsistence level disability payments (in a European Welfare state, so thankfully, not in danger of starvation or anything) without any real wealth beyond day-to-day living expenses, there’s not that much for me to lose every time this shit happens.

      Unless you own a lot of stocks and shares, then a bit of insider trading is really working out well

      To add to that chaos, the announcement that there was a 90 day pause was not even true. It was tweeted by Steven Bloomberg or something and markets rebounded because it spread all over Twitter and outlets started reporting it, but he never said it so they sank. Did he actually end up announcing a 90 day pause now? So now they’re back up? The fuck?

      What else is happening in the domestic issues while we look at international trade and our retirement portfolio?
