That wouldn’t stop the market crashing.
Well, if you don't look at the problem, it goes away. It's not rocket surgery!
"If we don't record COVID numbers, there will be nothing to report!"
"If we don't track the number of people dying by gun violence, there will be nothing to report."
"If we don't count the number of people dying in our overheated prisons, there will be nothing to report."
If a stock falls in the market when there's no ticker watching, does it go red?
Fox 'news'*: anything I disagree with is terrorism, trump isn't a bigoted idiot tanking the economy, there's no class war, we're just entertainment not news 🤡
Another bloodbath day on the DJI:
As an old fart I've never lived under an administration that I considered a real threat. Even Reagan, who was raged against by the left and beloved by the right, at least had some restraint and considered his actions. Each president did something that I didn't like but I never felt like psychopaths had taken over and were just letting their whims and manias run rampant. Their personalities also felt reasonable and at the very least respectful of others. I also never felt that a large chunk of my fellow citizens were a threat to democracy. The evangelicals were always that way but felt like a fringe group before.
Hell of a thing, ain't it? I remember the tail end of Regan as a child. I come from evangelicals, these are the sort of events I would expect them to freak out about, but instead, they're willingly along for the ride.
Reagan's just took time to poison the system. Everything we're seeing now is from that time period, built up.

Aha! So How did you know it was "ad-ridden" in the first place? Checkmate, liberal!
Is this serious? Did I join a crazy instance?
You joined an anarchist instance. Obviously I'm joking here cmon
In what ways did you signal that was sarcasm? Some anarchists are also not smart.
Regardless, all is ok bc you clarified.
"checkmate,liberal" is so on-the-nose it's absurd that you didn't get it also it's a very well known sarcasm trope.
