    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.

    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.

        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.

      I lost mine on Thursday… I’m trying to think of it as a comedy of errors, but I admit, it stings a little.

    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
