Sure, those things happened, but that's very different than someone playing with tariffs and other economic destruction buttons like they're a 2 year old who discovered a light switch.
What's happening now is not completely necessary at all. It was all voluntary rake stepping.And yet completely necessary. Unfortunately.

Im guessing you all have forgotten the late 2000 to 2002 stock market. After the internet bubble crashed, the Nasdaq was flat for those years with no real progress.
We also had 911 during that period that did not help.
Pepperidge Farm remembers and so do I.
good times. i was certain i wasn't going to be able to get a job when i graduated from college, so i did a masters degree afterwards. only to finish that right before the 08-09 crash.
This isn't that bad so far. We've only erased like what? 9 months of gains? Things will get interesting when if we drop down to ~2021 market levels - even if just near their peaks.
Trump is an idiot. Government funding and jobs enable people to make more money in other areas, by creating stable economic environments to work in, protecting intellectual property, funding research that feeds into commercial products, and running regulatory agencies (which are again helping to make that economic environment work for business).Trump explains why the tariffs are necessary, government jobs are not income producing jobs and should be eliminated in favor of factory jobs generating revenue, and the tariffs are incentive to re-open factories in America:
Sorry, but at this point I have to assume the administration is trying to engineer a recession and devalue the USD as part of their grand "plan" to reset everything - which means MORE PAIN AHEADTrump explains why the tariffs are necessary, government jobs are not income producing jobs and should be eliminated in favor of factory jobs generating revenue, and the tariffs are incentive to re-open factories in America:
Bye bye inflation reading market bump. Turns out the hard part is to lower it without crashing the economy. I was going to use today to shift more money overseas if that +1.6% from this morning held.

Yes, voluntary rake stepping for a purpose that is not needed at all. There is nothing wrong with remote working. I don't know why you have such a bug up your butt about it. Apparently, you just like stepping on rakes.It is if you want to end WFH. As you and others in this thread have quite made clear, if it wasn't obvious.
There is nothing wrong with remote working.
Did I say Europe?See I don't think going into Europe Stocks is the way to go. It's not like their economy is going to benefit even in the short term. Ukraine falling isn't exactly going to help.
And that's just your opinion about a bunch of bean counters opinions.That's just your opinion, not the one of the people calling the shots.
I've managed and worked on accounts doing millions of dollars of business, all while my team and clients are remote from one another and many (includinf myself) are WFH. If my client is in NJ, my boss is in CA, another client is in MA or the UK, how does it help me to go to an office in CT? It's fucking stupidity.My wife just got director of engineering at the $40B company she works for. Crazy that she managed that while playing COD at home during working hours the past five years.
Who the hell is going to make any large capital expenditures while Trump is going back and forth about tariffs? You can't make large long time frame decisions in this environment. Also no point in expanding production if there's the real threat of a recession. People are getting defensive just due to the possibility so it might become a self-fulfilling prophecy as spending drops.Trump explains why the tariffs are necessary, government jobs are not income producing jobs and should be eliminated in favor of factory jobs generating revenue, and the tariffs are incentive to re-open factories in America:
