  • Even though it happened while Trump was in office and fundamentally changed the world since Trump wasn’t the sole reason it doesn’t count?

    That’s correct. It happened to the world. Trump couldn’t have prevented it. No one could have. And since it didn’t happen BECAUSE of him, I’m not scared it’s suddenly going to happen again just because he’s in office.

    Would you be this afraid if Harris were in office? Because the odds of a pandemic are the same regardless of who is in office.

    Sure, but the majority of the poor who democrats and Lemmy portray themselves to care so much about, do not own stocks.

    And I have seen plenty of Lemmy posters decry the stock market and wish it would go away. Plenty of hate for wall street and the money makers.

    So something bad happens to wall mart, and now Lemmy is mad. So maybe you can explain the discrepancy to me.

    Doesn’t Lemmy want to watch Wall Street and the Stock Market burn down?

    And on the flip side, does Lemmy think this stock market slump will last forever and never come back, so that money is gone forever?

    OR will the market come back in a bit, the rich who buy all the cheap stocks and didn’t panic-sell, will get richer and then Lemmy will yell about how the lowlife dregs of humanity who are rich capitalized on it all and actually made more money? (Hint: This is what will happen. Please save my comment so we can revist it for proof)

    And my last point is true, then wouldn’t it be better to just do what the rich do, not sell, and buy now? So you can profit as well?

    My entire point is that Lemmy seems confused about what they should be mad about. Do you want to see Wall Street collapse or not? Is this a sign of the Wall Street collapse or not?
