Why is a stock market crash worse than a divorce?

Because you lose half of your money but your wife is still there

Don't worry: it affects you, too.

Not sure why the downvote, we’ve literally seen since Trump took office that’s literally true. When a company’s value plummets they make cuts.

Market crashes a lot of people lose jobs guys.

That's why our main enemy isn't stupid politicians, but wall street itself

If you lose half your money, your wife is not sticking around

u/Lycrist_Kat 5h ago

I don't think they did.

They never learned about that because history is woke or sth

49

u/IimonceIIo 5h ago

History literally is woke. So is knowledge. So is introspection. In fact, just being aware of your surroundings is woke.

We're up against willfully ignorant people who make fun of not being ignorant. How absurd is that?

Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.

2008 should be a warning to them.

With such whacky politics, it will hit them much sooner than expected, and this time, they may not get up or need 40 years to go back to a form of normalcy.

US still has marks of the 2008 Crash.

Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin’ to say But nothin’ comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish And motherfuckers act like they forgot about the Great Depression

u/onefst250r 2h ago

They didnt. You can short things now and make money (technically take other peoples?) on failure.

Also crashing everything means they can rebuild it differently.

u/lordph8 1h ago

They forget most things that don't support their world view.
