Stock market panic around the world due to fears about the US entering a recession

It’s that Norcaliblunt guy as well. Most reasonable people probably have a problem with both candidates, but there still needs to be conversations on who is the better choice. Whether you want to participate in the conversations is up to you, but going in every thread announcing you aren’t voting for either because they’re both evil… it’s the equivalence to those people who act like they’re above ‘comparing’ players but are in every Lebron vs Kobe thread arguing their side. I don’t agree with you on everything, but at least you have your own opinions and back them up with facts you have access to and converse in good faith. I fvcks with u.

You gotta talk to people. I am intrigued by rrr3s ideas, but mostly it’s people attacking him. Norcal is also an interesting dude. Sometimes he’s just in troll mode, but others, he seems to want to discuss.

I will type out troll shit when I am like yea not feeling this atm, so i can accept trolling, but it’s amazing how much people on here shout down others who are trying to talk. This matters because it leads to others trolling and shouting them down because they know their input is not valued.

Even on ish there aren’t many people who just post bullshit in regards to anything, including politics… not saying names, but they do exist. There is plenty of fun to be had talking about opinions or how you interpret something. Most people should be able to chuckle at their candidate / favorite player w/e, too.

In general my pov is if you keep engaging people they eventually break character. When people go after someone constantly, it puts them in a box where they are pre-empting attacks.

No wonder you were so bitter during Trump presidency if you couldn't afford food and rent for a place to live. Glad to hear you got more stability in your life now, ISH members shouldn't be sleeping on the streets.

Don't you live in Eastern Europe? Why do you care?

Just wait till he gets a fellow indian in the white house and she does nothing for him or his family, and he will still have the intellectual disconnect and back her.

Hardly anyone with considerable wealth keeps it liquid in a bank account of any kind, checking or savings. What people keep laying around as liquid cash is hardly an indicator of any kind but even with what you are showing there is hardly a difference from pre-covid to now. Republicans are trying to sell the notion that everyone is broke and homeless.

So with that, let me ask you like you just asked blade, are you broke and homeless? Are you considerably poorer than you were 5 years ago?

Polling on this topic almost always concludes with the individual being asked saying "I'm fine but everyone else is suffering". And that can be seen on this forum where every Trump voter here declares that they are wealthy but acts like they are some kind of anomaly and everyone else in the country is homeless. When in reality being a millionaire is common AF.

So what about the 30%ish percent of American households who make 15-50K per year, just ****'em? Point is that there are two functioning economies, one for people who can afford stocks(and enough of them get the compounding benefits over time), and another for the people who can't. The #1 primer for people not already having wealth where compounding profits of stock makes any meaningful difference, will always be their hourly rate.

Nobody is saying that everyone is broke and homeless, that's just your programming as a radical leftist to go straight down the most extreme slippery slope. I never asked bladed if he was broke and homeless, I asked if he has more wealth now than 5 years ago...

I'm personally doing great, but it's not a fair comparison. I figured out a problem that a lot of companies have and can be doing better at solving, as well as a digital solution for it, so now I own a small software company and we're paid by businesses on a subscription basis.

Don't you live in Eastern Europe? Why do you care?

No, I don't live in Eastern Europe and I would need a very good reason to ever move there. I know you have silly fantasies about me working for Putin and getting bonuses paid in Iranian gold, but same as OTC that's your programming as a dumb radical leftist to seek an extreme slippery slope.
I'm generally a compassionate guy and like I told you, I wouldn't wish for anyone on ISH to be living in on the streets.

How would you personally go about evening out the distribution of wealth? What is your solution?

Get a job, be innovative, invest, get out of your mom's basement

Exactly. We're all set. It's on the people.

Just need more production jobs which are more valuable than taking food orders, tariffs against near shoring and off shoring will solve that.
