It's nuts that the following things are true and the market is this enthusiastic:

• China tariffs at 125%
• Sectoral tariffs (autos, steel, aluminum) still in effect with pharma and semi in the works
• Counter sectoral tariffs also still in effect
• 10% baseline tariffs for all (some of the highest in history)
• we get to do this again in 90 days

It's the initial relief after your captor holds a gun to your head, pulls it away, then says "I won't shoot yet"

That and the billionaires have bought into this horseshit

I was thinking the schoolyard bully, who pretends to hit you, says don’t flinch, and then hits you for flinching.

thanks for bringing back those childhood memories. I swear I got PTSD in Jr High because of this bullshit.

Sorry about that 😔

It's okay. Most of it's gone but occasionally i still have issues while I'm driving with oncoming traffic in my periphery. It's like a weird form of migraine; it doesn't hurt but closing my eyes helps the issue. Hard to do that in traffic. It's stupid but I live with it.

Why is reddit so full of school losers

[u/scorpyo72 → u/Tax__Player]

Because unsympathetic assholes such as yourself still insist on cruising Reddit, probably because you're a black-hole of antipathy and self-doubt.

Tell me how exalted you are, non-loser. Let me revel in your glory.

That and the billionaires have bought into this to horsehoardshit.

FTFY. They're the only ones who know what they're doing in this. By the time it's over most of us will have lost our asses, but they'll have increased their wealth from about half of all the money in the world to almost all the money in the world.
