    Just like a real-life Trump business! Seriously, have you seen his business track record? The only thing he was good at was getting richer while his companies went bankrupt. Grifter from start to finish.

      Haha I was thinking that when I made it. Hopefully this is the kind of meme that would bother them if they saw it (since ‘Business Man’ is a core identity characteristic to them)

    No, you don’t understand, it’s all just part of a 5D chess gambit. If they crash the economy hard enough, then it will be cheap to manufacture things in the US! Plus there won’t be any filthy foreigners coming to take the jobs, since the wages will all be worthless, so that’ll fix immigration as well! As an added bonus, the garbage, worthless wages will also make it so it’s cheaper to run understaffed call centers from the US as well, so you’ll never have to worry about hearing someone with an Indian accent after you’ve been on hold for 6 hours. Isn’t it great?

      I wonder much new construction will cost less imports and immigrant labour. 12/10 foresight. Definitely won’t lead to unrest.

      It’s all part of a plan to avoid the mistake of transitioning to an economy that provides well paying jobs for everyone. It’s time to get back to our roots of manufacturing and agriculture, so we can bring back the good old days that are remembered as warmly as that river that caught fire.

    And you’d think this would be bad for people invested in the US market like Elon, but it helps them concentrate wealth. Recessions are good times to buy up shit for cheap if you are one of the few who can afford it.

    I’m leaving the country in a few months and my savings tanking is a legitimate concern. I don’t know a lot about finances. Any ideas how I can squirrel away a bunch of it in case the US goes full sideways before I can leave and move everything over to my target country’s money?
