The economy is so cooked that the proposed solution is “what if we just… stopped looking at it”

It “worked” for Covid, right?
Hey guys what if you just threw all your retirement savings into this bag that says “trust me bro” on it?
If I never turn in my homework i get an "I"ncomplete but not an “F”, right?
Until all the bad news comes in at once after 12 months of unchecked insider trading. This is how fraud happens, and with 34 felony convictions for it, Donnie knows exactly how fraud happens.
On the one hand, it’s just more deregulation and, I suppose, trying to claw back some exclusivity to financial information (stock market for capitalists only). On the other hand, valuations haven’t meant shit in so long. P/E means nothing. Book value means nothing. It’s probably not going to change much other than let more fraud happen more easily. Elon just bumped the market by buying a shit ton of his own stock with money from his own stock. What the corporate finance even mean anymore? Most of it is just algorithms now anyways. It’s not like someone is sitting down, cracking open the 10-Q and doing DCF analysis.
Ok but if you were trying to get capitalism to stop being so self defeating, this would actually be a decent idea. The
day tradersgamblers aren’t gonna like this though.I probably don’t understand any of this, but it seems like this is bad even for the finance regulations that exist solely to immediately profit shareholders.
Schrodinger’s EconomyJDPON Don prefers five year plans to the anarchy of production.
He added: “Did you ever hear the statement that, “China has a 50 to 100 year view on management of a company, whereas we run our companies on a quarterly basis??? Not good!!!”
But I thought “CHINA BAD!!!”?
mfw the economy is definitely fine for sure don’t worry about it bro
Literally just his Covid response
Uhhh let’s stop testing
Trump’s most extraordinary talent is brushing things under the rug
Huh, so the economy is really about to shit itself huh?
If I was president and the economy was bad - I would try to distract people by making it worse! What do you think, Marge?
I think there’s still some donuts in the kitchen.
Doh-nuts.
[And he runs to the kitchen.]
