All things considered, it has only been about 3 months since Trump took office, I feel like there is absolutely no way that this was just a single craze and from here things will even out.

I feel like until 2028 (or maybe 2026?) S&P 500 is going to look like a roller coaster.

What do you think?

      So it’s like you’re saying that the gold rush AI craze, crypto, meme stocks, property bubble inflation, money printing, uber and airbnb, side hustles and crowd funded health care aren’t as good as a real growing economy?

      You are correct about the lack lf practical value in the american capitalism, but that is the much bigger picture and while what is going on right now is only possible because of this system, it is happening now and in this way because of trump.

      It’s like saying that if I shot someone in the head it wasn’t because of me that they died, but because of the nature of life which must conclude in death. Like, yeah, they died because everyone dies, but they died now and in this way because of me.

          Isn’t that just a deterministic nihilistic world view? I mean it just sounds like you are saying that nothing could have been different and that it was allways going to be like that.

          I don’t see why that would be true, Harris was very close to winning. not all broken systems have to end in an extreme collapse, it’s not impossible that things could have been fixed over time.

          I just don’t think that everything is doomed to fail and that Trump is nothing but a vessel for the inevitable.
