Yup. We implemented those after Black Monday in 1987, and other markets followed suit. We should absolutely expect the same thing in the US tomorrow morning.

Black Monday

I've never been rooting so hard for my own demise

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 62 points 2 weeks ago

Oh there’s a demise I’m rooting for, but it ain’t mine.

I wonder what a cage match between Trump and a locust from the Book of Revelation would look like.

[-] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago

Like an armored grasshopper humping a wet cheese puff?

This crash has to be so bad that the next US President that even so much as hints at wanting to use tariffs for any purpose other than what they're intended for, would be personally walked to the gallows.

“Next US president” is a hopeful prognostication. Trump seems intent on crashing the US economy into the side of a mountain

I heard a lot of conspiracy theories by now, that frankly portray mostly the same concepts in a pretty convincing manner, that say that this is exactly what they want to happen. And that's pretty damn scary.

Basically a new world order where everyone is poor and the billionaires control the world as the new monarchs. They take the world not by violence but by systematically destroying the world economy and having enormous amounts of money themselves.

Pretty freaking scary if true, because all the steps are apparently working splendidly.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

So you mean the tariffs are hiked taxes on the poor?

/Well yes.

This is going to be really interesting to watch unfold. I hope I keep my job until capitalism collapses

I lost mine on Thursday... I'm trying to think of it as a comedy of errors, but I admit, it stings a little.

Comrade Donald Trump. No other communist has done so much damage to the American Capitalism^®^ in such a short time. Bravo!

Head over to Reddit if you want to hear about how the Biden Depression is upon us

[-] qprimed@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 weeks ago

Head over to Reddit

Biden Depression

I am in awe of the shear size of the stupid. trump has redirected the "soft landing" directly into the meat grinder.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

They likely banned or hid anyone who said otherwise.

I was banned for displaying, quote, “extreme indifference” about the fact that DJT nearly ate a bullet on live TV.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Lmao which sub is that? Conservative? Or conspiracy?

You know, r/politics. The “radical leftist echo chamber,” according to its most normal users.

Market go boom

I’ve been at Universal Studios Japan for the last 2 days. Based on the crowds and lines at every single merchant, it seems like all you have to do is expand USJ and you will print money
