    Our industry as a whole will cease to exist if Trump doesn’t win

    That’d be the cherry on top

        The overlap of the people who complain about the Fed creating money is almost 1:1

            Inflation and deflation have very little to do with making new money. It’s a measure of the cost of goods and services, each given a weight based on an estimated effect on purchasing. The largest thing effecting inflation right now specifically is companies increasing profits massively while providing less to the consumer, like groceries, rent, cars, etc. These companies make more and more money by increasing costs, hence the inflation.

            “Because bullshit and reality are exact opposites.”

            “Because a rando’s take on economics and actual economics are opposites.”

            See how that works? I can keep going…

              How does that, in any way, apply to the other commentors remark?

            I read somewhere that he made a few million on them. It blew me away. It does not compute.

              It does compute if you realize the buyers were probably foreign governments and businesses. If Trump suddenly gets a $3M check from someone that might raise eyebrows, leak to press, get picked up by law enforcement. Trump makes $3M in sales of an imaginary thing online - well that’s just business.

              He’s the king of the quick cash injection. He’s that last little turd that won’t flush, no matter how many frauds and bankruptcies and treasons and sexual assaults he’s perpetrated and I Do Not Understand.
