Yup. We implemented those after Black Monday in 1987, and other markets followed suit. We should absolutely expect the same thing in the US tomorrow morning.

This crash has to be so bad that the next US President that even so much as hints at wanting to use tariffs for any purpose other than what they're intended for, would be personally walked to the gallows.
“Next US president” is a hopeful prognostication. Trump seems intent on crashing the US economy into the side of a mountain
I heard a lot of conspiracy theories by now, that frankly portray mostly the same concepts in a pretty convincing manner, that say that this is exactly what they want to happen. And that's pretty damn scary.
Basically a new world order where everyone is poor and the billionaires control the world as the new monarchs. They take the world not by violence but by systematically destroying the world economy and having enormous amounts of money themselves.
Pretty freaking scary if true, because all the steps are apparently working splendidly.
It's for sure plausible.
Whenever a collapse happens, the rich get richer by buying up cheap assets, like houses and land.
And since corporations are immortal, these assets will forever be owned by them generations into the future.
It's fiefdom, except that it's much MUCH more stable over time given modern economies.
This has happened once every 100 years or so. And each time it's a complete disaster for the country.
Give it another 100 and history will just repeat itself again
Lol, we are not even half a year in to his 4 year term, what do you mean "the next US President"?
Not even 3 months
Yup, that’s on Easter Sunday 1/4 of 1/4 the way through.
1/16th of the way done. My gawd. It feels like eight years already. This is gonna be a long wait, you guys. And it's not gonna feel like it's over when he's gone, either.
I'm gonna celebrate on his death day, mark my words. It will be a party. Maybe a barbecue? Yeah.
This is going to be really interesting to watch unfold. I hope I keep my job until capitalism collapses
Head over to Reddit if you want to hear about how the Biden Depression is upon us
Head over to Reddit
yeah, no.
Biden Depression
I am in awe of the shear size of the stupid. trump has redirected the "soft landing" directly into the meat grinder.
Jerome Powell was never going to softly land anything. It was all a smoke screen while they sold stocks and shifted their assets so that the plebes and taxpayers end up holding the bag. As always.
Powell and Yellen should be in prison for the rest of their lives.
They likely banned or hid anyone who said otherwise.
You know, r/politics. The “radical leftist echo chamber,” according to its most normal users.
When I left it was arguably a leftist echo chamber, but I wouldn't be surprised if Democrats and liberals left en masse with the changes over the past year or two
You said “leftist.” What do Democrats and liberals have to do with anything?
Idk man. I have always lumped left / democrat / liberal together, and right / conservative together
Democrats in the US are centre-right. “Normal” Mitt Romney/GWB Republicans are far right. The current GOP is, without a drop of hyperbole, full-on fascist.
There is not any leftist political coalition to speak of in the US. Bernie Sanders is about as extreme as they come in the US- and he’s maybe center-left at his most extreme.

This is based on policies he pushes for, right? I always got the impression he would push as far left as possible, which with today's democrats means "center left at best".
I’ve been at Universal Studios Japan for the last 2 days. Based on the crowds and lines at every single merchant, it seems like all you have to do is expand USJ and you will print money
