Wild that America has a president who regularly goes “I’ll start World War 3” to tank the stock market and then at the last minute says “j/k I’m not invading Greenland/Iran/Canada/etc” then the market jumps back up with mysterious people making a killing after he backs down.

An amazing coincidence.

The worst people in the world are making a fortune off of their personal connections to the Trump family, and we are going to deal with them having economic advantage over the rest of us for generations.

The worms are digging deeper into the structure, after a point there's nothing to do but burn the house down.

@jmjm @carnage4life This is why we can't back down from taxing the oligarchs on their wealth not income. Forget just California, this needs to happen annually at a national level.

@carnage4life I know a quant: the uncertainty and chaos Trump brings in means that all his "grand announcement" days can be incredibly profitable

@stevel @carnage4life But why? After a year of this, the people on the other side of those trades ought to have wised up.

@carnage4life @sjar There’s no net money magically created. When there are winners, there are equally losers.
In a working democracy, the government will take the position that stock trade should be fair, where every trader has the same information. Otherwise, the privileged are allowed to steal from the public.
