Summary
U.S. CEOs and business executives are alarmed as Donald Trump remains firm on imposing high tariffs on U.S. allies, despite warnings from economists about potential economic harm.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump’s late-night social media announcements have blindsided both his advisers and business leaders, leaving them scrambling to react.
While Trump consults some advisers, like Marco Rubio and Treasury pick Scott Bessent, his unilateral approach limits their influence.
The uncertainty has left business leaders struggling to find ways to alter his stance on trade policies.
I mean, I've been on the butt end of countless crashes. If you can't see it coming and cash in this time, maybe next time. It's what these dumb bucks voted for.
“It is the financialisation of the economy in particular that generated a lot of income for the rich, who invest in financial assets,” Dafermos said. “And whenever an economic crisis strikes, the central banks’ response is to save the financial market from collapsing because it is so much interlinked with the real economy. This helps stock and bond markets to thrive creating more wealth and inequality.”
At what point did you think I meant great depression?
Funny story about why I have a little more insight than you. My undergrad taking a finance class for my supply chain degree. Professor offered 10% extra credit if we attended a finance related conference. I used the university conference search engine he provided. 99% were real estate conferences, and i picked the only one that wasn't. Turns out it was a conference for a buttload of finance VPs discussing each market crash in great detail and how they will prepare for the next. Like this was a club where the speakers were from the Fed. I was completely out of my element, but I got seated with the club president who worked for Goldman Sachs. Nice guy. The lady that gave me my name sticker at registration said that their club had offered invites to the local university for years, and I was the first to accept. The event was $3k a plate and completely covered for me.
I'm not an expert on finance, but in 2018, I had a 5-star lunch with all the financial experts and learned a shitload about each American and international financial crash from 1929 onward and what they would be doing in preparation for the next one.
And now I know you're not a very good reader of your own links either since you're trying to prove to me that you're going to get rich off of the next Great Depression because of Joseph Kennedy and Mae West. Your other two links don't even involve people who "bought the dip" in the depression, so you definitely put those up without reading them.
Do let me know when you're cast in your new sex comedy movie though. Do you think W.C. Fields will be in it too?
