Tech megacaps lose $1.8 trillion in 2 days as Trump tariffs lead Nasdaq to worst weekly drop in 5 years

I imagine a lot of this data is because they are the ones cashing out so I don't know how accurate this is. I feel Its more likely the American population's 401k are losing the value here. Billionaires selling off billions vs my measly 100k is going to have a more dramatic market effect. If that's the case hopefully we see some massive capital gains tax... But my guess is this money is being reinvested somewhere else or offshored.

The beacon is lit

The majority of Americans side with our allies. Even those that voted for trump. But this is our mess to clean up. What we need is informational aide. Truth and facts are being held hostage by corporate sponsored social media. Im glad lemmy can answer that call. But we need a coordinated effort to take down zuckerfuck, elmo, and fuckspez propaganda machine.

Reagan...

Reganomics. Trickle down economics. Only thing that trickles is piss and shit.

formerly known as the horse-and-sparrow theory: the idea that feeding a horse a huge amount of oats results in some of the feed passing through for lucky sparrows to eat.

It was cool to see such a surge in 24 hours. Alot of comments saying its "too hard to use" while ignoring guides and tips the lovely lemmy community provided me when it started gaining traction. Some had valid complaints others just wanted to hate on something new. It was great to see others commenting in support and defending lemmy. And pointing out other users who didnt read the post content on how to get started.

One of my favorite comments was someone claiming i was a shill for lemmy 😂

Yeah someone sent me a article and guide mentioning that info after i posted. I wasnt able to edit the title though. I did edit a link into the body of my post though. I literaly set up my lemmy that day so was a little green about all the info/guides. I was just super excited about sharing lemmy with the reddit community and didnt do enough reaearch. I did edit and comment as i discovered more info though.

The struggle of posting on corporate sponsored social media

Exactly. My dad... Everytime healthcare for all comes up, he says! Thats socialism! I wont vote for a socialist. I like my private insurance that on average cost 400-500 per month with a 3k deductible max out of pocket 10k vs 180-275 per month for M4A with no deductible.

Edit...just realized he will be going on medicare soon if it doesnt get culled by our current administration. Wonder what he thinks about that....and his SS.

The struggle of posting on corporate sponsored social media

Words you cannot put in a post or automod will cull it.

Luigi is an unconvicted suspect for the murder of a health insurance ceo who used ai to auto-deny claims in the name of increasing profits.

The accused is suspected of gunning him down in the street on the way to a conference. Was big news until the majority of people were championing him as a hero.

After that its crickets from the news outlet and americans are banned from posting his name on corporate social media platform unless its specifically about his court case. We are not allowed to rally around violence. Hence we make up luigi's mansion memes and code words to get around it.
