Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- 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 --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- 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. --

I am of the opinion that the housing market crash might not last very long, if inflation really picks up.
I cannot believe I am saying this, but uh... yeah, with this level of general government idiocy and chaos, hyperinflation may actually be a probable outcome.
The USD is tanking internationally, and ... welp, gotta keep making these international debt payments somehow, and the oldest trick in the book for that is just hyperinflation.
... And Trump keeps saying he can or will fire Jerome Powell ... and then the Federal Reserve is no longer independent, and basically all the economists just shrug and give up.
Whoo boy this is gonna suck.
We are in the Prologue right now, the real story hasn't even begun, and we are already having serious issues. Right now it's all speculation and fear.
By next summer, when the results of these incredibly irresponsible and incompetent policies are bearing real actual results, we are going to be in serious trouble on every governmental and societal front.
Protests will be huge, HitlerPig will encourage his RedHats to instigate violence, and he will call on Hegseth to use the military to quell the violence with even more vicious violence at multiple protests around the country. Then he will declare Martial Law and suspend the 2026 Midterm elections in order to avoid the certain electoral bloodbath, and preserve his Congressional majorities, keeping the Democrats from controlling investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers.
Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride.
Sounds like a pretty reasonable projection to me.
