they worship the inhuman desires of the market
“[Capitalists] act as if they are being chased by a bear,” wrote Zhang Lin, a Beijing political commentator, in response to these comments. “They are powerless to control the bear, so they are competing to outrun each other to escape the animal.” [14]
tbf Biden also has the strong belief that pot should remain federally criminalized
Feel like that would’ve been a better symbol for a falling market
That's the thing though, it's all so cyclical that it basically is. It's not the symbol for a good market per se, it's the symbol for a market that's about to crash, because it's always about to crash unless it's currently crashing.
I've long been fascinated by the way it seems the ruling class unleashed the fucking Balrog when they invented this pseudo-scientific ideology, and how they themselves have no real agency. :matt-jokerfied: has brought it up several times recently too
that article is quite the :brainworms: stew
“The economy is being viewed, affected and controlled to achieve a political end.”
[context] CIA agent talking about how evil Xi wants to make the economy good for the people of China because it makes him politically powerful.
“Chinese consumption is not driven by the government but by entrepreneurship, and the market,” Jack Ma of Alibaba said in September 2015. “In the past 20 years, the government was so strong. Now, they are getting weak. It’s our opportunity; it’s our show time, to see how the market economy, entrepreneurship, can develop real consumption.”
Ma may have thought that the times suited him, and to a degree, they did. His business continued to soar. But Xi was all the time making sure that the party grew in tandem with the economy, in both the state and private sectors. In retrospect, Ma’s comments look dangerously cocky.

I should have double quoted the excerpt, it's as quoted in China Has Billionaires

This is why Biden's got to go. I only recognize one Power Bottom President, and its :thicc-trump:
You best start believing in recessions, Miss Brandon. 'Yer in one!
The reddit thread about this had some dingus saying "Biden shouldn't even be talking about it."
Implying that could also kick off the recession. The monster can't see me if I close my eyes!
You can be the best weather forecaster in the world and if you say it's going to rain on a sunny day, it makes no difference. If you're some important market ghoul and say the economy will crash, it will.

Putting on my DOW 30,000 hat for the fifth time this decade
You just gotta will yourself into a higher tax bracket, my dude.
Doing a market based system driven by the animal spirits and getting very upset when the herd bolts for a cliff.
Recession is when talk of recession. Contractions of capitalism are just how you choose to tell your story!
The economy is predicated on whether the wealthy feel scured.
:biden-troll: If we have sacrificed enough lives to the line, the line will not betray us.
The High Priest has beseeched the Blind Idiot God to spare us from a recession

I'm imagining being an economist. I do all my homework and sacrifice any sort of personality or free time to get into a top college. I go thousands of dollars into debt to hang out with a bunch of insufferable squares and pretend to know differential equations to get a job saying the nation's chakras are not vibing so you gotta lose your retirement sweaty.
More like Lovecraftian Outer Gods, merciless and uncaring blind idiot gods.
God is in control of the US economy, just like how it is also in control of every American football game
If you wanted Tim Tebow to play more football, you should have prayed harder.
