You can call your AG regularly and be an annoying and persistant problem for their staff until they do something.

US car companies list their prices with the subsidies included too.

so..... its a news article in 2025?

Trump is against medicine.

Crashing the stock market doesn't destroy capital. The market crashing means that the sale price of shares are reduced temporarily. Shares are still a proportion of ownership in a company. The rich will still own the overwhelming majority of all shares no matter the share price. The reduced prices also allows the rich to buy up shares from ordinary people who had to sell to afford necessities. Capitalists use economic crashes to further entrench themselves.

Even if companies fail and collapse, any valuable assets will be taken by other companies. A crash doesn't destroy capital, it just reorganizes it.

The US has gone through much bigger crashes than this, and none of them dismantled capitalism, and neither will this.

If you want to dismantle capitalism you have to actually put in the work of dismantling capitalism.

Top cart is a euro spec cart with swivels on all 4 wheels. By far the superior shopping cart.

Did a little reading on don bacon, the representative mentioned.

He represents nebraska's 2nd district, a district where the majority voted for biden and harris. He is known for being a moderate republican who is noted for working bipartisanly. He retained his seat by a narrow 50.9%:49.1% margain.

Basically he's one of the most likely republicans to support something like this. And if viewed purely cynically, with the slim margin of victory, he has an incentive to introduce bills to nowhere like this use for the upcoming 2026 reelection campaign.

Until this bill gets cosponsors or goes for a floor vote, it doesn't indicate a breaking of ranks. He's the kind of republican who often goes against the party line.

the article is from decrypt.co what are you on about?

Edit: Who are you quoting? I never said "insignificant" in this discussion.

Edit2: I think I'm arguing with an llm.

shhh they have to discover that for themselves

The headline did not say 4% of the market. It said a large number without context.

Why are you responding with new information? My critique this whole time has been about this specific article, and the kind of reporting that leads to it.

I don't have any particular insight, nor have a been discussing the economy.

Obviously you should draw new conclusions when new data is available.

As told by he ancient legends, there are better restrooms with no urinals if you only have the courage to find them.

I would have gotten much earlier notice if I cared about the markets, followed the news, and actively traded. Articles like this are unhelpful because they are written to be as alarmist as possible, and aimed at people who don't understand the markets.

People in the comments believe the alarmist headlines, when they are deliberately written to sound as bad as possible.

Its not reasonable to make conclusions off of 15m of data. Its manipulative to cite large numbers deliberately without context.

The fact that the trend happened to continue this time doesn't make anything I said untrue. The news has claimed markets have "plummeted" many times this year only to immediately recover. Articles like this aren't good predictions because they have been wrong every other time.
