How are we NOT living in the movie idiocracy?

I swear if I see any of you idiots watering your plants with Gatorade…that’s it!

Meanwhile, back to Tariffs. Me and everyone else in my company is trying to get orders/material in as we're being quoted 20% increases starting in May from most suppliers.

This is like Covid where we're buying stuff in the guess we'll need it in 6-9 months.

Guess I eased back i to my annuity at a good time(hopefully). Honestly, though I don’t think the next big move-in markets will be made until earnings numbers come out.

Up 2600 points as I type this... it's going to be a wild ride.

I think Trumps morons looked at the Treasury market today, shit themselves, then backed down.

Trump's morons didn't even know this was coming. One was on tv saying "there will be no reversal...." as trump was pausing. Fox News celebrating since they knew this was all the plan.

“Bessent says that Trump was always planning to pull back his sweeping tariff plans for dozens of countries just days after announcing it.

"This was his strategy all along," Bessent tells reporters at the White House.”

This says it all for me if it’s true 🤬🤬🤬
