Rule of law? What rule of law?

Ahhh so this is even worse than I thought because we haven’t even seen the effects of the tariffs yet and probably won’t for a while.

Too. Much. Winning.

In my experience I was in the middle of a transition at work. A company was buying the contract of all the other contract companies and the way they did it was shady as hell. We had to sign new contract agreements and had I not signed the agreement I most likely wouldn’t have been able to file unemployment and finding a job would have been impossible.

I stayed in that job way too long because of fear and the devil you know vs the devil you don’t. I worked at that job and company for almost 10 more years because I liked my immediate boss but despised the bullshit the company was doing. It was not good for my mental health.

Had 2008 not happened, there was no way I was signing that new contract. Many people didn’t and struggled for a bit finding new jobs. My mental health most likely would have been better. But hindsight is 20/20

Ok, so 2008 was a 52% loss in almost a year and a half.

Right now it's only a 16% loss in a little over 2 months.

Someone far smarter than I am could maybe figure out the monthly decline percentage and compare 2008 losses vs now. Don't get me wrong, it's a shitload of money, but it doesn't look like the stock market is anywhere close to reaching 2008 levels of loss.....yet.

Nope...I can only handle one Western country going down the batshit stupidity rabbit hole at a time.

This is going to be an even more interesting time in the coming weeks. When animals are cornered, things get very ugly. And we're beyond ugly already with almost half of Project 2025 implemented already.

“It’s extremely troubling, and really a moral failing, in my opinion, of our society, that we are detaining children,” she said.

Morals got thrown out on January 20th, 2025

> Fuck

That's an understatement, more like

Forget about a recession, the U.S. is headed directly towards a possible depression and bringing Canada down with it if those numbers are even remotely true. That's almost 1-2 months salary wiped out for 1/3 of households in the US when most of those people are living paycheck to paycheck.

"No basis in logic"

No shit, this whole administration has no basis in logic. Just look at Project 2025 and the progress they've made on it in a little over 2 months.

Sorry, it was me. I’ve been F5ing the hell out of their website because my payment date keeps changing. I technically should have seen my monthly disability check deposited today…surprise, it’s not there yet 🤨🫠🤬
