WW

AppropriateBad503

Honest question. Are you another naive untravelled messianic-cult-of-america type who actually believes after the usas behavior since WW2 and especially the past decade that it will even be a member of western civilization in 10 years, let alone sticking its militism in energy corridors we depend on for a bit of coercion while calling it policing?  There is no bretton woods 3.  We all learnt from bretton woods 2.  You don't think we are letting you run ponzi as a militant messianic cult again do you?  You are out kids.  Totally out.  You are out of Europe, the Commonwealth, all of it.  And the EU alternative energy build out is exploding because they will never let you coerce them on resources or security again.  The hand is played.  You are gone.  Your bases, your monopolies, your operating licenses, your IP, and your people.  It's a hard divorce.  America has an ideology that is incompatible with western civilization. The posing is over.  You are out.

Sam Altman really does seem shifty as fk. Forget about Musk for a minute, how the hell can someone turn a charity into a for profit corporation and then be worth $3 Billion. Is that like if WW3 broke out, and the red cross realized they were sitting on billions of dollars in blood supply, and decided to sell it for profit? Very confusing.

The only reason the Great Depression ended was because WW2 started.

The sp500 has returned 10% on average even without the post financial crisis bull run. Heres a [backtest](https://testfol.io/?s=4jOLyWIyL9b) cutting out the last 12 years like you want and looking at the returns from the 100 years before that, this also begins in one of the worst 30 year periods for the market ever (WW1, great depression, ww2). The market still returned 10% a year for 100 years

> Any reasonable common American will vehemently disagree, because "wealthy" as in sky high debts and market capitalizations does not translate to wealth as the commons understand it. Definitely not the most powerful either, we're the weakest because we quite literally haven't won a single war yet this century and lost most of our wars in the last one. Other than a handful of tiny petro-states, which countries do you imagine Americans believe are wealthier than the US? The answer is none. A plumber in Missouri has a higher take-home pay than a doctor in Germany. The rest of the world is NOT pulling ahead of the US in terms of wealth. It is crazy when Trump goes on rants about how other countries are ripping us off while the typical American is financially so far ahead of the rest of the world. Look at the data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposable_household_and_per_capita_income#Disposable_income_per_capita_of_households_and_NPISH_(OECD) I have met exactly zero Americans who think any other country is more militarily powerful. I doubt even most Russians are that delusional. Militarily defeating our enemies has never been a problem. Politicians sometimes assign political objectives which cannot be achieved by military means. You ought to know the difference. > In case you missed it, all our "high end" commodities are coming from Asia namely China and Taiwan with some Malaysia. We can't make anything anymore low or high, and that fact has been brutally denied as we continue to become increasingly incapable of seemingly the most simplest things. iPhones and Nvidia GPUs aren't American products, they're Chinese and Taiwanese products respectively. That defeatist attitude of "we can't make anything anymore" is pure propaganda. Where do you think F35's are made? Or 3D printers? How about Tesla EVs and SpaceX rockets? IPhones and NVIDIA chips are designed in the US. And TSMC builds the chips with machines built in Europe - with components made in the US. Example: (American) Zygo corporation makes the high end optics and mirrors which go into (Netherlands) ASML's EUV Lithography machines which (Taiwan) TSMC uses to make the chips which are designed by (American) NVIDIA. Some - not a complete list - of other American companies which TSMC relies on are: Air Products, Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA Corp, Cadence, Synopsis, Amkor Technology, and Teradyne. And you completely ignored the fact that unemployment is very low while real wages have continued to rise. > We will not return to a successful society if we cannot return to a productive economy. We still are a successful society and we still have a productive economy. Stop navel gazing. > Being a service economy means We service the productive economies. He who makes rules the world. I've just listed a bunch of technologically advanced products that the US produces. Your claim that service economies are trash is without foundation. > It is an inevitable solution to the constant problem that businesses simply take our taxes and waste them away. Rural broadband is by far the most infamous example, and others like CHIPS and Project Warpspeed. If businesses will not make our taxes spent worth our while, the only way to resolve that is by taking their equity at governmental gunpoint. Businesses poisoned the well, they can now drink from it while the taxpayers finally have something to show for their tax dollars. Trump hasn't taken a government stake in businesses engaged in rolling out rural broadband or Warpspeed, and a good number of the ones he did take a stake in did not take CHIPS Act money. Here's a radical idea: if you think businesses are wasting tax payer dollars, how about you stop giving them taxpayer dollars? This "socialism is inevitable" stuff is far left drivel. It wasn't socialism that made America great and becoming socialist isn't going to do us any favors. > The upside is the definitive end of Pax Americana which at this point causes more problems than it gives benefits. Yes, problems like... no more world wars and having among the highest standards of living in the world. > the world has faced constant wars and disturbances to the peace to this day. When you say "we" are in our most peaceful time you do not realize "we" only includes the West. The West is resented in regions like Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia ... Were you under the impression that Africa, the Middle East, and Asia did not have wars before the US came along? I assure you, they did. Look at actual data. The WORLD is at its most peaceful time in hundreds of years. Peaceful is relative, not absolute. It has ticked up in recent years, mostly because Putin invaded Ukraine, which had nothing to do with the US. But, the rate of deaths from wars started dropping when the US took over after WW2 and by world history standards was very low by 2000. > The world will be better off nearly instantly with Pax Americana over, if not necessarily the US and probably the West at large. Spoken like a true Russian. > We as a society have set certain standards for human labor because anything less is inhumane, and despite that you are essentially saying that "Slavery is fine because the slaves are happy." They were free to come and go, not slaves. The "legal" farm workers are more akin to slaves today than were the illegal farm workers. And those standards you are touting were sharply weakened by Trump. Look it up. H2-A guest worker program. The minimum wage was set by the federal government, Trump sharply reduced it, while also removing anti-retaliation protections, safety standards, and so forth. > Criminal labor fueled by illegal aliens causes downward pressure on compensation for legal employment and hosts of other problems on housing and medical services that are stressing our society to its breaking point. They do not benefit our society in aggregate. As it pertains to productive contributions to society, the only difference between "criminal" farm labor and "legal" farm labor is a piece of government paper. Whether they are legal or illegal, the pressure on wages is the same, housing is the same, medical services required is the same. Therefore, your position is that it is productive employment itself that is the detrimental problem for society. And, you failed basic economics. > "Open borders" does not mean literally open borders free-for-all. While their literal physical forms have changed throughout human history, every country and more broadly every society in history has controlled who goes in and out of their borders in some form at all points in time. You are wrong. The US literally had open borders prior to the 1875 Page Act, which was basically just on Chinese. There were no federal immigration laws prior to that. That was just as radical of an experiment in freedom then as it would be today. Some ports of entry run by states collected what amounted to a tax for entry, but there were plenty of places which did not even do that. There were citizenship restrictions right from the beginning, but not immigration restrictions. > Immigration is a privilege, not a right. Noone has a right to enter another country willy nilly, every country reserves their sovereign right to accept or deny entrants at their own discretion and frankly for any reason whatsoever. Collective rights which exceed individual rights are authoritarian nonsense. Individuals have rights. Groups of individuals cannot have rights which exceed that of the individuals which comprise the group. You, as an individual, do not have the right to restrict me from inviting whomever I want to live and work on my property. You cannot gain that right by joining with a group of your friends and declaring that you have such a right. Governments have the *power* to restrict immigration. Governments do not have rights. > If a guy from Mexico or the Philippines is told to wait 25 years to maybe enter the country and immigrate, that's the game. He can take it or leave it. "I don't like that, I'm just gonna enter illegally." is not acceptable. Illegal entry is also part of the game. If you don't like it, you can work to change the rules so that they don't have to wait 25 years and then will find it easier to go through the legal process. > The problem is deliberately refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement, and in extreme cases like Minnesota where federal law enforcement is outright resisted, is not in any way acceptable. It is, though. The president is not a king and the federal government cannot dictate to states what they must or must not do beyond as allowed for in the Constitution. > States and municipalities don't want to enforce federal laws? Alright, fine. But don't get in the way of federal law enforcement, and don't be surprised if the federal government subsequently has second thoughts about federal aid you might be receiving. Congress writes the laws describing what funding is allocated to the states and under what conditions. A president cannot just unilaterally change the law and withhold funding because he doesn't like something entirely unrelated that the states are doing. The president has to follow federal law. > Refusing to enforce the law by definition denies the rule of law. No one is talking about refusing to enforce the law. But, not all branches of government are tasked with enforcing every law. ICE is not going to investigate burglaries in Minnesota because doing so is out of their jurisdiction. Similarly, local police do not have an obligation to enforce federal law. A separation of powers prevents too much power from accumulating in one person.

stoic_suspicious

The real issues isn’t a stock market crash. It’s unemployment going from 4% to 20-30%. Once people lose jobs, your risk civil unrest and war. The Great Depression pretty much led to WW2

Apocalypse_Knight

It’s mainly because of WW2. Other nations were hit much harder and the US mainland had little to no dmg.

Vlisa

Don't miss the forest through the trees. We live in a more peaceful time than any other in human history. Most of us posting on this forum have never had to struggle with things like food security or indentured servitude. That said your personal experiences and problems are valid and they do deserve to be addressed. History has taught us that "great resets" do not improve our lives or our loved ones. Those lessons are entirely lost and only relearned by happenstance, and not as a consequence of what came prior. Unfortunately we were not born in the era of our parents post WW2, but I personally we owe it to the next generations to try to make it better. No one can outrun death forever not voters, not the wealthy and not elected officials. The greatest political demographic shift ever is coming and there is a lot of anger to be spent.

Ironically, WW2 is what jumped many economies out of the Great Depression in conjunction with the New Deal. Interesting fact, many Americans could not be drafted in 1941 due to being severely under weight due to lack of nutrition. This was a directly result of the previous decades depression. The army set up fat camps to help potential recruits gain weight quickly to join the cause.

Yep. I hate their calls for deregulation in the name of *capitalism*, which they then *capitalize* on by lobbying for the self-serving regulations and mechanisms that shield them from said *capitalism*. Too big to fail dynamics. Chapter 11 bankruptcies. Limited liabilities. Government contracts. Retirement/index fund investments. Interests often protected by our military. Research and infrastructure funded by our taxes. Lowering top corporate tax rates to its lowest point since WW2 while raising the lowest bracket. This must be the "efficiency" of the private sector many people praise them for. Capitalism for thee, but not for me. That said, I feed the beast (with limitations) because my parents are broke and will likely need my help.

> If you waited for the end of the WW2 to feel safe buying stocks you completely mistimed the market. That seems kinda like what people sitting in cash are doing today : ) for what it's worth, these people don't actually care about the war. they'll find any and every excuse they can to fear monger for the next 2 years because they have a deranged hatred of trump. the same people saying to sell everything because of iran were saying to sell everything and stay cash because of the tariffs. once everyone accepts that the iran situation is over and done with, these people will find something new to freak out over and insist everyone stays all cash while they watch the market grow.

drew-gen-x

Fun fact. The US entered WW2 the day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec 8, 1941. The US stock market bottomed in May 1942. WW2 didn't end until Japan surrendered on Sept 2, 1945. If you waited for the end of the WW2 to feel safe buying stocks you completely mistimed the market. That seems kinda like what people sitting in cash are doing today : )

I think many other countries are worried about China. Also, I don't think China even has to actually acquire Taiwan, it can just be a flareup of tensions to get these stocks high enough to sell the news. Or the plan follows through and these companies stay elevated long term. I think it's reasonable China will make a move to grab Taiwan in the next 2-3 years. I don't think it'll look like WW3, but it's inevitable

Psychic folks see 2028 as the marker for a market downturn much worse than the great depression. The AI bot theory is one I have pondered myself as being part of the issue. I think it will be a combination of a number of things. The next pandemic will wipe out 5% of earth's population (on the low end) that is coming end of 2027 thru 2028. Pedo cheeto getting hit from a 50 cal next year will bring in Vance as Pres. Earthquakes on a scale we have never seen before is coming very soon. They can be triggered by satellite now, US, China, Russia can do this. Rolling electrical blackouts for major cities that is also satellite tech that can EMP a specific city. WW3 is going to be different, not in the traditional guns and airplanes we have been use to. The US will have another 9/11 style attack but on 10 major cities involving hundreds of coordinated terrorists. The next 2 years are going to be wild.

MrNo_Balls

I think you misunderstand what happened in WW1

Mojeaux18

‘Pretty well’ glosses over a lot of what was actually happening in that era. Alongside the New Deal you had things like Japanese internment, MK‑Ultra, multiple recessions, and deep, institutional racism baked into everyday life. A huge part of the post‑war boom was also about unique conditions after WW2 and a relatively homogeneous society, not just policy brilliance. The New Deal itself didn’t end the Great Depression either. Instead we saw a double‑dip before the war really reshaped the economy, even then it took multiple decades before things really got better. It’s not right to treat that period as proof that a bigger, more powerful government is the fix.

The USA is weeks away from the worst gas crisis in its history, inflation is skyrocketing Zimbabwe style, and Trump/Hegseth burned through most of our AA missile inventory during the Iran war and the previous action against the Houthis.

That’s crazy. You may think this is funny but I find it disgusting we have become so corrupt. My dad fought in the Pacific part of WW11 so that we could be proud of being an American. He would be so sad to see this. My whole family were in the GOP. It was common then. But when Obama was running I thought that change was coming but the tea party always said no to him. I knew then that the GOP had lost its way. Trump knew which party to play his games. He was always a Democrat. When he came in this year,I knew we were in big trouble.

Seienchin88

It has only been the case since the 60s so … dammit nearly 70 years… The military dictatorship who brought south Koreas economic boom did so by copying pre-WW2 Japan‘s system… not surprisingly a large part of said dictatorship (including the dictator park and many chaebol founders) were all Japanese collaborators. They also allowed the royal family back into the country (last crown prince of Korea was a Japanese general fighting in China…) The democratic revolution brought different powers into the the government and anti Japanese sentiment spiked but the chaebols were never touched and avoided any long term connection to the unpopular dictatorship…

OP's not wrong. But they are probably very short term minded. I remember folks were saying Iran war will crash the markets earlier this year. GOOG was "chatGPT roadkill" or tariffs going to cause great depression 2.0 last year. Elections are chaotic, yen carry trade reversal, China contagion, and potential Trump 2.0 in 2024. Markets will keep crashing with high rates, SVB blow up, war in the middle east after the terrorist attacks on Israel, middle east starting WW3, and the like in 2023. Ukraine war, high rates, FTX blowup, and more in 2022. Markets were too high and SPAC/MEME non-sense will lead to bankruptcies. MSFT definitely fine. ORCL probably fine. Not sure why they are running PLTR shorts while being long Saas.

I don't understand why people don't get it. We **WANT** Iran to sell oil. That is awesome for world economies and for Iran. We just don't want them to use the money to buy military equipment, centrifuges, etc. Giving them sanction relief and allowing them to sell oil is GOOD. You don't want to destroy a country and its citizens with eternal sanctions. That's how the Treaty of Versailles gave us Hitler and WW2. They've literally lost an entire year worth of GDP and their economy is contracting. That would be the equivalent of us spending $26 Trillion on the war As of today, almost their entire military apparatus is gone - ships, facilities, Russian S300 and S400 systems, etc. Everyone agrees it would take decades to rebuild what they lost. And the plan is to not allow them to buy more of what they lost. They're going to be too busy feeding their citizens and rebuilding their country to putz around with weapons and nukes. People really are dim. Anyway, I'm about to be busy making money. Believe what you will.
