          Everything 2018 is pre covid. It’s called Ovid 19 because it was discovered in 2019.

            Yes. And the US market didn’t really sink until Feb '20. So all those '19s still aren’t covid related

                Gonna nitpick: of course point drops are highest now cause the Dow is the highest now. Give me the list of the highest percentage drops.

      After DOW recovered during covid time, True claimed the big rise while ignoring the massive drops.

    I prefer the inverse of Trump’s January claim: The stock market is crashing because they think Trump is going to lose. 📉 🥳

    Are there any lawyers in here who could write a “politicians are not allowed to say easily disproven things in a public forum any more” law?

    Something where we can legally tell morons to shut up and then they actually have to

    Oh shit, you know what? It’s not that a bunch of AI hype bullshitters have bullshit services to sell and tech companies had bad quarters. It’s all because of the presidential admin. I never would have thought to equate bad business with politics, but the orange man said it so it must be true!
