imagine if your kitchen counters were sold based on the idea that they were sort of yours, but the terms of the subscription model were vague to begin with, got changed, and now this vastly gigantic cabinet company kicked down your door to to strip them away and replace them with particleboard with a business-grey surface. you cannot opt out, and you cannot get a refund.

one of your appliance's manufacturers was sold to a foreign company and in the process your extended warranty with lifetime premium super-duper membership account information was lost in translation. you can't get it back, and there's no way to tell if they just don't want to uphold your old agreement with the previous company, and you can't get a refund.

all this innovative stuff that could continue to be incredibly game-changing, just turned into so much raw sewage with a few strokes of the pen. amazon should be forced to refund every last ebook they've ever sold and eat the cost.

Stock market has been trending downward for the entirety of Trump's second term. We are even down from November when he won.

GDP forecast for Q1 are actually negative. Almost 3% decline. The forecast beforehand wa 2.5% growth but instead we have a decline. Lol

I don't know what the off ramp is going to be. Our political system doesn't have snap elections so we are stuck with this administration for 4 years. In 2 years we could have congress change but Musk and the administration will probably fight it to the death.

buy the dip

“gains”.

Pity the poor people who actually bought a Tesla to try to save the planet.

not to mention that the super-rich like musk practically live off the leverage from their stocks. it's a house of cards.

Pity the poor people who actually bought a Tesla to try to save the planet.

lmao, yeah right. that's really why all those tech-bros and musk goobers bought into the tesla brand.

didn't prius corner the market of concerned liberals and eco-warriors almost 10 years before tesla?

the prius was uncool! south park told everyone about it

many signs a recession is coming, but i think collapses in stock prices normally burn your casual investor. 20-somethings trying to shortcut to housing deposits aren't the smartest investors, imho.

especially that particular type of young guy who is deeply - and emotionally - invested in brands like tesla or things like crypto. they typically won't be selling off shares in the short term because they have that in-group mentality of riding things 'to the moon' or whatever it is in their dumb /r/wallstreet parlance.

it's a major problem in korea, incidentally. the only way to ever buy an apartment in the greater seoul area is through stocks or second incomes/personal businesses on the side. huge problem when the first crypto wave crashed; a lot of over-exposed and debt-riddled young people whose salaries won't even cut 25% of the funds needed to survive independently thesedays.
