Yup. We implemented those after Black Monday in 1987, and other markets followed suit. We should absolutely expect the same thing in the US tomorrow morning.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

I've never been rooting so hard for my own demise
Oh there’s a demise I’m rooting for, but it ain’t mine.
This isn't necessarily going to affect the ultra rich who count on crashes like this to buy up real estate and assets in mass.
It's practically a guaranteed win, a cheat code even .
If you're ultra rich and wanna be ultra ultra rich, just setup a market collapse by acquiring power. And now you're ultra-ultranrich, and the next one is even easier.
The undereducated masses are so easy to mislead they might as well not be a factor. It's trivial to get the masses to fight amongst themselves by stirring the culture war pot with the near monopoly on media you and your buddies have bought. While you carry on class warfare unopposed
I wonder what a cage match between Trump and a locust from the Book of Revelation would look like.
Like an armored grasshopper humping a wet cheese puff?
Confident!
Yeah not dis guy ova hea 😟
This crash has to be so bad that the next US President that even so much as hints at wanting to use tariffs for any purpose other than what they're intended for, would be personally walked to the gallows.
“Next US president” is a hopeful prognostication. Trump seems intent on crashing the US economy into the side of a mountain
I heard a lot of conspiracy theories by now, that frankly portray mostly the same concepts in a pretty convincing manner, that say that this is exactly what they want to happen. And that's pretty damn scary.
Basically a new world order where everyone is poor and the billionaires control the world as the new monarchs. They take the world not by violence but by systematically destroying the world economy and having enormous amounts of money themselves.
Pretty freaking scary if true, because all the steps are apparently working splendidly.
It's for sure plausible.
Whenever a collapse happens, the rich get richer by buying up cheap assets, like houses and land.
And since corporations are immortal, these assets will forever be owned by them generations into the future.
It's fiefdom, except that it's much MUCH more stable over time given modern economies.
If and only if the corporations can maintain control of the government, which has the power to destroy them.
They've had total control for almost a century, so that's fairly stable, but it still would only take a few motivated populists to wrest control.
So you mean the tariffs are hiked taxes on the poor?
/Well yes.
This has happened once every 100 years or so. And each time it's a complete disaster for the country.
Give it another 100 and history will just repeat itself again
I'd like to think we would have enough sense this time to setup a system to perpetually redistribe excess wealth
Say you don't believe in extreme longevity without saying you don't believe in extreme longevity 😁
Lol, we are not even half a year in to his 4 year term, what do you mean "the next US President"?
Not even 3 months
Yup, that’s on Easter Sunday 1/4 of 1/4 the way through.
1/16th of the way done. My gawd. It feels like eight years already. This is gonna be a long wait, you guys. And it's not gonna feel like it's over when he's gone, either.
I'm gonna celebrate on his death day, mark my words. It will be a party. Maybe a barbecue? Yeah.
What do you mean US? There's a country left after this?
Comrade Donald Trump. No other communist has done so much damage to the American Capitalism^®^ in such a short time. Bravo!
Head over to Reddit if you want to hear about how the Biden Depression is upon us
Head over to Reddit
yeah, no.
Biden Depression
I am in awe of the shear size of the stupid. trump has redirected the "soft landing" directly into the meat grinder.
Jerome Powell was never going to softly land anything. It was all a smoke screen while they sold stocks and shifted their assets so that the plebes and taxpayers end up holding the bag. As always.
Powell and Yellen should be in prison for the rest of their lives.
They likely banned or hid anyone who said otherwise.
I was banned for displaying, quote, “extreme indifference” about the fact that DJT nearly ate a bullet on live TV.
Lmao which sub is that? Conservative? Or conspiracy?
You know, r/politics. The “radical leftist echo chamber,” according to its most normal users.
When I left it was arguably a leftist echo chamber, but I wouldn't be surprised if Democrats and liberals left en masse with the changes over the past year or two
You said “leftist.” What do Democrats and liberals have to do with anything?
Idk man. I have always lumped left / democrat / liberal together, and right / conservative together
Democrats in the US are centre-right. “Normal” Mitt Romney/GWB Republicans are far right. The current GOP is, without a drop of hyperbole, full-on fascist.
There is not any leftist political coalition to speak of in the US. Bernie Sanders is about as extreme as they come in the US- and he’s maybe center-left at his most extreme.
Bernie Sanders is about as extreme as they come in the US- and he’s maybe center-left at his most extreme.
This is based on policies he pushes for, right? I always got the impression he would push as far left as possible, which with today's democrats means "center left at best".
This is going to be really interesting to watch unfold. I hope I keep my job until capitalism collapses
I lost mine on Thursday... I'm trying to think of it as a comedy of errors, but I admit, it stings a little.
Market go boom
I’ve been at Universal Studios Japan for the last 2 days. Based on the crowds and lines at every single merchant, it seems like all you have to do is expand USJ and you will print money
