CEOs were “reluctant to say anything publicly,” and were waiting until the market dropped 20 percent before they would go on record saying anything critical about the president.

At that point the horse has truly bolted my dudes. The only plus is that I enjoy the idea of these greedy fucks squirming as everything they ever wanted blows up in their faces.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

This has the same energy as a 10 year old telling their parent at 10pm that they need help making a presentation that’s due tomorrow morning.

I thought CEOs were supposed to be in charge, not act like socially awkward high schoolers.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 14 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Most CEOs aren't actually good at doing things, they got where they are because they're rich and charismatic for the most part, not because they are good at doing things.

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

This 100%

My ceo recently declared chapter 11 bankruptcy for us. It's his third bankruptcy. What the fuck other job can you fail at so terribly, so publicly, and then you just get another job to do it again

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Apparently, at least in the USA, president.

But do you work for a casino?

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Nope. Airline. It's this CEOs 3rd airline he's crashed into the ground. Don't worry, he got a $3.8m bonus 183 days before filing. Anything within 180 days the judge can take back. And the day after the bonus announcement he furloughed 50 pilots 💪😭😭

Ffs, trump will give him a department to destroy for sure

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

My kid did that in middle school. Dad I forgot to tell you we're supposed to dress up tomorrow in school and I really really want to be Marshmello.

"Egg prices are down[...]"

No, they are not.

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It depends what you're comparing against. Down relative to the very recent surge? Sure. If you zoom out on that chart you'll see they're still 2-4x more expensive than they were in the early 2020s.

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 1 points 13 hours ago

They are beneath when Trump took office. I think that qualifies to say that he has vrought the price down.

Still a fashist asshole, just to make that clear. But I like to stick to facts in my criticism.

TARIFF RELATED MONEY IS POURING INTO THE UNITED STATES.

Also untrue.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

“The Globalist Wall Street Journal has no idea what they are doing or saying. They are owned by the polluted thinking of the European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of ‘screwing’ the United States of America,” Trump raged in a post on Truth Social.

They're owned by Rupert Murdoch

[–] NewDay@feddit.org 10 points 2 days ago

He also hates the EU and influenced so many people to achieve his goal with the Brexit.

Trump is just a fake lying rat

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, don't take the criticism! Double down! Oh what's that? 200% tarrifs against EU spirits??

I got options against DJT dammit, this could pay big.

Fucking idiot.

[–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Even if manufacturers brought jobs back from overseas, who the fuck is going to do them? We already have a labor shortage coming as the boomers are hitting peak retirement and the commander in queef won't let anyone in without money.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Let's not forget the very real fact that exports are a major part of demand. Imports are a big part of supply. It's econ 101. Tarrifs disrupt both. It's... Not a good idea, ever.

It isn't rocket science. Its so dull and dumb it was literally the background to Ben Stein's "Anyone... Anyone...?" Bit from Ferris Bullers Day Off.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

How is a "labor shortage" a bad thing? You can ask for more pay if there's not many people who could do the job.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

Labor shortage is just code speak for we don't want to train people or pay the appropriate wage.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

How is a “labor shortage” a bad thing? You can ask for more pay

Asked and answered.

What the oligarchs want is slaves, not empowered workers who know their worth.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 39 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper that once called NYC bike rentals (setup by CitiBank, no less) authoritarian communism. The editor who made that particular mental bowel movement, Dorothy Rabinowitz, still works there.

Trump is too dumb for them.

[–] sloppychops@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 days ago (4 children)

They really should install a McDonalds PlayPlace at the white house. Keep him distracted with nuggies and Melania in a Grimace costume doing the YMCA dance.

[–] ef9357@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I think you’re right. Rumor is Trump has the attention span of a gnat.

Melania in a Grimace costume

Yes please

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

On one hand, yeah. On the other hand, do you really want to make it easier for people like Steven Miller to get things done without Trump's chaos interfering?

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Where's Elon's snot-nosed fuck-trophy when you need someone to tell Trump to shut up?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 days ago

Big fucking baby.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago

The Orange Turd is an economic disaster.

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'll just leave this here.

Wow, both AI slop AND homophobia in one post. Great fucking job.
