All we need now is a massive man made natural disaster to strike to make it another great depression. Luckily there isn't any terrible climate related issue that's on the verge of causing a catastrophe or anything.

That, and good thing there isn't a new pandemic brewing in birds and livestock.

Thank god 80% of the bees we use to pollinate all our food didn't die this last month...

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

At least we don't have a measles outbreak and an anti-vaxxer in charge

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

So repubs are alientating themselves from their traditional business base too. That leaves what? Nut jobs in rvs covered in trump signs?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

I'd love to see donvict, fElon, Lutnick, Thiel, Vance and especially Navarro forced to live in poverty for a while.

60% chance of recession, 40% chance of a depression. “The Greatest Depression”

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

A golden age is coming!

Even if things just to recover to where they started trumsk will claim it as a giant win.

[–] GG@kbin.earth 2 points 11 hours ago

Tremendous, really. Like nothing ever seen before.

Even if Trump removes every tariff a recession is almost certainly coming. Short to longer term planning, hiring, building, etc will certainly slow down and that kind of things is widespread. People lose jobs, people don't get hired, people choose not to start a business or invest money in the USA, etc.

It's 100% they are just too scared to say that

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 19 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

You can't say anything is 100% with a chaotic and erratic president. There's always a chance that Trump will undo everything next week and things will stabilise for a short while. That chance might be very low, but it effectively invalidates 100% prediction.

[–] paranoia@feddit.dk 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm afraid you're wrong here actually. Being arbitrary and mercurial means no one will risk investing in the US, as policies may be created or undone at any moment. The only way this goes away is simply that he goes away. The risk is what is creating the certainty here.

The blood is on gop hands and any billionaires backing him

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

And nothing gets better until billionaires bleed

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 9 points 14 hours ago

And the people who voted for him. And the people that didn't vote.
