Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The world’s most widely followed stock-market benchmark slid into a correction on Thursday, a drop that underscores how the two-year-long bull market is running out of steam in the early days of the Trump administration.

The move stems from investors’ growing pessimism about the whipsawing policy pronouncements from Washington over the past few weeks. On-again, off-again tariffs and mass layoffs of federal workers have fomented unease on Wall Street.

On Thursday, the S&P 500 fell 1.4 percent. After weeks of selling, the index is now down 10.1 percent from a peak that it reached less than one month ago and is in a correction — a Wall Street term for when an index falls 10 percent or more from its peak, and a line in the sand for investors worried about a sell-off gathering steam.

If you go to an amusement park, this is the fun part of the rollercoaster

This bolts on this rollercoaster have been removed.

You have reached your final destination.

The markets thought Trump and Musky would "just" slash regulations allowing companies to run rampant and make more money. Instead they got the full brunt of the combined stupidity of a Republican controlled government. Add in the useless Democrat party lead by the equally useless, and even more spineless, Schumer and Jefferries and who do corpos, and thus the markets, have to look to for hope? Nobody.

Welcome to hell fuckos!

What a terribly worded article. It's not "running out of steam", this was completely avoidable. The Trump/Elon administration's policies and actions are literally knee-capping the economy.

Housing pricing needs to dip!

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah right that's when the privileged white people will actually get upset.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 6 months ago

What they do in 2008? Doubt anything they do will be of any conseuqnce.

Let's take a dive!

Not to worry. Once all those pesky regulations from entities like the EPA, FTC, FAA, etc. are all wiped out the corporations will see huge profits unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, it'll most likely come back and be more profitable than ever for the extremely privileged.

And then what will the other "party" be saying?

That's the problem with tying politics to a casino.

Dear capitalist propaganda... Is it a "correction" or a "souring"? lol.
