When you state the conclusion first and the basis later, isn't that a position first rather than a fact first? China has the world's highest penetration of new energy vehicles among large markets, with hybrids and EVs already accounting for 50% of new car sales. A high percentage of China's oil imports are now processed for export, rather than used as fuel themselves. As for food imports, that's even more ridiculous, do you think the world's third world will listen to the West and not export goods to China? They don't even do that with Russia. That's just too funny. China has even started to voluntarily stop importing US agricultural products. Just mouthing off that China will collapse is going to make China collapse? We've been hearing this kind of bullshit for over 30 years. If this is true, what is Blinken doing in China right now talking about "Sino-American friendship"? Shouldn't you be threatening China? Unfortunately, I don't feel threatened at all.

You're completely misinformed. The top 10% pay far more in taxes, as a percentage of their wealth, than the middle. Everyone knows that. As to tax cuts and loop holes you must be referring to things only the 0.01% can take advantage of. If I could have used some loophole I would have. So you're just ignorant. The "fair share" argument is used by idiots who don't know how much taxes the top 10% actually pay. Also as to generational wealth being passed on, studies show that the vast majority of millionaires in the US have not inherited their wealth so again you're just an ignorant fool. And anyway, if you think that parents should not be able to pass down their wealth to their children but that it should be confiscated by the government then you're also an immoral asshole. As to controlling 90% of the wealth you act as though the wealth somehow belongs to everyone like it's a communal pie but in fact people take in what they earn through work. There is no mass pile of goodies that everyone has some strange right to. You're also unknowingly comparing the wealth of 65-year-old people who've been saving and working for a long time versus the wealth of 20 somethings. Older people and highly successful people are the ones who make up the top 10% and there's no reason that younger people should expect to be in the same income bracket. The bottom line here is that your idea that the government is somehow subsidizing the lifestyle of the top 10% is just so stupid it is unbelievable. Also they could tax us at 75% and it wouldn't do a single thing to improve the wealth of the middle class.

You can elect an ideal candidate. Once they hit the floor they will have so much pressure put on them to go corrupt. That’s why they hate Trump. He was a pest and had resources not to be bought. 100% fact.

It’s just a fact of the matter that most will be betting on a decline due to the PCE which is why it’ll continue pumping.

Exempt groups include: anyone except poor people. In fact, they have to pay double.

You're an idiot. I'm in the top 10%. I made 2m profit in 2020 and had to pay 1m to the gov. Now he wants that even higher. The point is that it's pure confiscation. The fact it "only" affects 1 in 10 people doesn't make it right. All government does is waste money. You're just a fucking mindless resentful slave who resents rich people instead of the idiot politicians who rule over us. Imagine getting a clue about how useless the federal government is ya fucking Biden voter. As to red hat I've never worn one.

are your parents this daft too? Does your dad work at Wendi's and talk about brain surgery online? Mom sell handjobs and critiques rocket science? If you can't understand something, go read about it until you do. Dont go fill the internet up with your delusions you believe to be fact.

What about the simple fact… inflation clearly isn’t transitory, the dollar is clearly weaker, a weaker dollar and inflation means stocks need a repricing.

1. Actual money supply needs to multiply the velocity of money. If you haven’t been living under a rock, there’s this fun thing called pandemic that absolutely killed the velocity, which is why printer went brrrrrrr to keep the supply constant. 2. Last 4 years are the only instances where wage growth has outpaced inflation. Assuming you don’t work at Wendys. This also means living paycheck to paycheck has been a great thing for the economy. 3. Is literally part of 2 4. This is perhaps the only real problem in this post, but even this is incrementally improving (home builders doing well recently) 5. Fun fact: the next best currency for international trade after the USD is CAD. Literally the only country that is seriously doing or considering de-dollarization is Russia. Conclusion: thanks for providing exit liquidity

You’re overlooking the fact that whales move the market. If the whales are mad and take their money back to their home countries, “stonks go down”
