For reference, because I had to check, the drop that lead to the great depression was a 13% loss on Black Monday. Black Tuesday saw a 12% loss. This continued until it lost 89% of it's total value. Today's loss was 5.5%. Certainly a warning sign when you consider that the loss trend lasted from October 28th 1929 to the summer of 1932...

That is until you consider the total lost since inauguration day, which is one third to half the US GDP...

Repeat article and post title doesn't match.

Trust a proven liar? No...

Trust a liar, conman, and rapist on the other hand...

That's pretty much been my decision. I'm looking into my options, even cashing out my retirement and leaving the country, but that's all contingent on what happens. In the meantime, I'm writing letters to get myself heard. If I'm going to lose everything, it won't be quietly.

What they're not telling you is that this is already effecting more than the federal workforce. My company began layoffs this week as our grants are now being cut. Whole departments laid off and client services terminated. If I lose my job, I probably won't be finding another in my field because this is happening nationwide. My entire career is on the line right now, something I've spent the past 20 years building.

Moreover, my clients are getting screwed as well... We're talking people who don't have the ability to work, no income other than social security, and who barely have the insight to understand why. They're either going back to the hospital, until the hospital's funding gets cut, or out on the street.

We're all fucked because of this.

Partly because these people are sending a message that goes beyond the owner of the car.

At the same time, the owner of the truck is openly showing their support of Musk and Trump by driving it. While I don't condone ruining people's lives, if you're going to openly support fascism, the suffering of our people, the stripping away of our freedoms, the dissolution of our legal system, the raping of our economy, and the destruction of our nation, then perhaps you deserve to feel just a little more than uncomfortable... like the rest of us...

"Musk claimed knowledge of a suspect accused of stealing 400,000 social security numbers..."

This shit is absolutely unreal...

So I guess we're going back to actively speed running the ruination of our planet now.

I hope whatever takes over after us, if there is anything left, notes that humanity's end came at the hands of a very small number of petty assholes who would rather try to kill all life on the planet than admit to being wrong about anything.

I don't live in Cali, but I was at a diner yesterday and some woman had her dog in one of the booths. Clearly not a service animal, no vest or anything. You know what ruins a pretty quick? Dog hair in your food... Especially if it's not your dog.
