Harris ran on a continuation of existing beneficial politics with a trend of effectiveness and some tuning after she took over the post.

In short, her position was

** gestures at 4 years of positive tending numbers **

. Oh: and not fucking up the treason trial for Trump.

But the sparkle junkies need everything to pop-pop-pop, so incremental improvement wasnt as good as destruction of America.

Trump: ok so stocks went down 50% because of me, but look since then it's up 80% !!!

Maga crowd: Yess, wooow!!!

There are absolutely lots of people that don't understand that down 50% and up 80% means you just lost 10%.

For anyone who’s like me (where math and I are not friends), if you start with $1 and drop 50%, that’s 50¢

Go up 80% from 50¢ and you’re at 90¢

Your original $1 is now worth 90¢.

Yeah, my stocks are almost back to where they were at the beginning of the year, and it's almost 100% due to Trump messing w/ tariffs. I'm not rich or anything, but seeing my retirement savings fluctuate at Trump's whims doesn't feel great.
