Somehow stock market is still up today... all imaginary numbers
It's 'cause the stock market isn't the economy. It's a goddamn casino.
Barely. Everything's parked on the sidelines pending the next pronouncement from on high. Apple's already down from +7% at open to +3% now.
Once again what the markets actually want is stability but you don't make astronomical sums of money off stability if you're doing a bunch of gambles so this kind of manic reporting will continue as they try to get a handle on the narrative. They'll be reporting shit like "everyone is broke but the stocks are up so nobody knows if it's bad or not."
Meanwhile everyone trying to afford food is like 
so much winning
Please, please. It's too much winning. We can't take it anymore. Mr. President, it's too much.

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
