I'm kind of watching in detachment at this point
I wish I still had my account active from my brief foray into the stock market many years ago. The past two times this has happened I've thought about trying to catch the next upswing but I just don't have the money to gamble with right now.
I'd be able to make like 34c from the 5$ i can spare
the rest of us watch in horror.
I saw a video recently on tankietube that had some jillionare in white house bragging about how he made 2 billion while laughing few days ago.
We certainly need to have semiconductors, and the downstream electronics supply chain move to the United States. What happened is- it’s not really an exception. That’s not even the right word for it,” Greer said. “So, it’s not that they won’t be subject to tariffs geared at reshoring. They’ll just be under a different regime. It’s shifting from one bucket of tariffs to a different bucket of potential tariffs.”
We at the US government believe in clarity in communication, so here's a clear explanation of the tariff exemption which we have walked back and are ready to implement. There will be a tariff exemption on electronics, only it's an exemption to the overall tariffs, in order to have a separate tariff regime for electronics. This tariff will be 0%. By that we mean 0% lower than a percentage that is not the regular 145% which is still in effect, but may also be paused like the other 10% tariffs which have been paused but will be in effect. In other words, electronics might have a tariff applied to them that may be higher than 0% and/or lower and/or higher than 145%, and this last tariff may be paused and/or raised to match the electronics tariff, which is a different regime.
The government just doesn’t want to put labels on things. Let’s just have fun ya know. Maybe we’ll tarriff some Chinese semiconductors if we feel like it but also maybe not.
bruh the markets aren't open on the weekend. Take a break please
Live Tim Apple reaction: 
I honestly don't even know what the hell is actually happening anymore.

wtf is going on
Insider trading
The cruelest dream, reality
Hahaha, hell yeah.
They call it the xbox 360 tarriff because when you see the price you do a full 360 spin and walk away
…so you walk right into the shelf?
(it's a riff on an old copypasta from when the xbox 360 was released)
There aren't any products there so you can easily just pass right through
are they still manly tariffs?
Manly AND beautiful
Xi just needs to say "we're halting all trade with the US until Trump decides something and agrees to just stick with it for 6 months".
crisis of overproduction speedrun any%
Tariff, now no tariff, tariff, now no tariff, tariff, no tariff...
Yes may I please book 20 rooms for my tarrifss? Ah yes sorry now may I please cancel the booking. The tariffs shan't be coming
No wait no wait they're coming again. Are those rooms still available?
hey sorry we had to cancel last minute. can we get a full refund?
No, wait, I'm being told that double the tariffs are coming. Do you have any extra availability?
Art of the deal? 🤔
My theory: tech CEOs threatened Trump to back off the tariffs and he initially caved in, BUT, then made a counter demand that tech CEOs bring all manufacturing back to America to which they immediately said 
so now Trump is threatening to bring tariffs back.
There's probably a fuck load of infighting going on in the administration too, and ofc Trump's insider trading buddies who want this flip flopping to continue so they can keep doing market manipulation.
Truly America's Gorbachev era.
wen business plot?
These fucking idiots
