Trump
you should start an “ask funky” advice column.hugopal I’m sure the grift is wide-ranging. His inner circle is probably playing both the short and long markets ahead of every spur of the moment announcement and retraction. I’d also bet that if you could track meme coin funds, there have been carve-outs for specific industries to avoid getting the brunt of the tariffs.
Not sure what to say if this turns out to be accurate … https://www.latintimes.com/trump-accused-using-chatgpt-create-tariff-plan-after-ai-leads-users-same-formula-so-ai-579899
Trump torching pension valuations and investments. Now where’s that cash ISA.
FIAT ISA
May I refer you to one of my favourite books on said topic, written in 1912.
LT42 “this is nurmel when you take overhead transactions into account with first time buyers over the course of five surcharges. Easy when you know how. I’ve sunk 40 pounds into an escrow and will watch it grow, I should make £65.78 by 2052 because the tax rate will have haved by 2046 making the markets soluable again. That or the loony left will hide Hunter’s laptop in the bull markets and I’ll lose 13%, either way I’m up.”
RichM but surely the majority of his voters are the working class who will get fucked over by this
Yes, but he’s an angry white racist like them. That comes before everything else including their own wealth.
How many piss poor people from khazi council estates in Britain vote for the Conservatives for the same reason? Or will now be voting reform for that reason? Or voted for Brexit for that reason. They’ll happily be poor if it somehow keep the foreigners out. Mild British xenophobia is the only reason the Conservative Party / right wing politics has continued to be a force in this country, it is the reason that turkeys vote for Christmas, not that anyone will ever say it out loud on the TV or radio.
I’m not sure who is the worst political commentator on here:
Amps ‘Monbiot’ Ampersand or Du ‘Paisley’ Funky. Both make my temple throb and twitch.
Amps The British aren’t very xenophobic at all, in my experience.
Certainly much less so than the Mediterraneans or East Asians.
Probably vote Tory because they are tired of absolute left-wing belters going on at them and end up thinking “Fuck me, what if these mad cunts like Amps and Hannu get in and we have to pay for badger sanctuaries and tampons in men’s toilets as well, tax is going up 2p in the pound at least”
RichM there will be a few US businesses that bring chunks of manufacturing back on shore and the Trump regime will then trumpet this from the rooftops while ignoring the inflationary impacts everywhere else. The MAGA mongs will lap all this up of course, safe in the knowledge that Don has their best interests at heart.
@“bosstrabs”#p284554 The British aren’t very xenophobic at all, in my experience.
Which bubble have you been living in?
I live in a cul-de-sac of 12 houses, and admittedly most of my neighbours are of a certain vintage, but at least half of them have given me the ‘johnny foreigner’ chat at some point.
