CEOs were “reluctant to say anything publicly,” and were waiting until the market dropped 20 percent before they would go on record saying anything critical about the president.

At that point the horse has truly bolted my dudes. The only plus is that I enjoy the idea of these greedy fucks squirming as everything they ever wanted blows up in their faces.

This has the same energy as a 10 year old telling their parent at 10pm that they need help making a presentation that’s due tomorrow morning.

I thought CEOs were supposed to be in charge, not act like socially awkward high schoolers.

"Egg prices are down[...]"

No, they are not.

TARIFF RELATED MONEY IS POURING INTO THE UNITED STATES.

Also untrue.

“The Globalist Wall Street Journal has no idea what they are doing or saying. They are owned by the polluted thinking of the European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of ‘screwing’ the United States of America,” Trump raged in a post on Truth Social.

They're owned by Rupert Murdoch

He also hates the EU and influenced so many people to achieve his goal with the Brexit.

Trump is just a fake lying rat

Yes, don't take the criticism! Double down! Oh what's that? 200% tarrifs against EU spirits??

I got options against DJT dammit, this could pay big.

Fucking idiot.

Even if manufacturers brought jobs back from overseas, who the fuck is going to do them? We already have a labor shortage coming as the boomers are hitting peak retirement and the commander in queef won't let anyone in without money.

Let's not forget the very real fact that exports are a major part of demand. Imports are a big part of supply. It's econ 101. Tarrifs disrupt both. It's... Not a good idea, ever.

It isn't rocket science. Its so dull and dumb it was literally the background to Ben Stein's "Anyone... Anyone...?" Bit from Ferris Bullers Day Off.

How is a "labor shortage" a bad thing? You can ask for more pay if there's not many people who could do the job.

Asked and answered.

What the oligarchs want is slaves, not empowered workers who know their worth.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Labor shortage is just code speak for we don't want to train people or pay the appropriate wage.

The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper that once called NYC bike rentals (setup by CitiBank, no less) authoritarian communism. The editor who made that particular mental bowel movement, Dorothy Rabinowitz, still works there.

Trump is too dumb for them.

They really should install a McDonalds PlayPlace at the white house. Keep him distracted with nuggies and Melania in a Grimace costume doing the YMCA dance.

Melania in a Grimace costume

Yes please

On one hand, yeah. On the other hand, do you really want to make it easier for people like Steven Miller to get things done without Trump's chaos interfering?

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Where's Elon's snot-nosed fuck-trophy when you need someone to tell Trump to shut up?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 day ago

Big fucking baby.

The Orange Turd is an economic disaster.

I'll just leave this here.

Wow, both AI slop AND homophobia in one post. Great fucking job.
