▲ 816 ▼ Minutes before Trump's announcement, $800 million in trades made on oil prices (www.9news.com.au) submitted 5 months ago by Substance_P@lemmy.world to c/politics@lemmy.world 114 comments fedilink hide all child comments At 9.50pm AEDT yesterday, there was a sudden spike in trading on the oil and S&P 500 futures market. 6.50am New York time is an unusual time for a rush on trades on West Texas Intermediate May futures. But it showed that all of a sudden, a substantial sum of money was bet on oil prices dropping and the stock market rising.

Right now I'm not seeing any other future for us than permanent subjugation. It's almost like we enjoy the punishment. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] jefferyjefferson@lemmy.org 2 points 5 months ago It's what happens when an entire generation never grows up. permalink fedilink source parent [–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 0 points 5 months ago Hey what are you talking about, Bryan Tyler Cohen is out there quoting shitlibs. Heaps of other people like Robert Reich asking for patience. The fight is real. If it’s any consolation, as an outsider I knew they’d fold. Most of us outside did because we know they are selfish people who used to talk a lot about this amendment they have which stops this kind of thing happening. permalink fedilink source parent
