Back went from “401ks and investing is a scam!” to “I’m deeply concerned about my retirement account (that doesn’t exist)!” real fast.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA control your emotions loser

Actual footage of shaft posting:

Funny part is: He claimed he had me on ignore. SO to be this triggered by something I posted, he had to first un-ignore me.. then read it.. then get super duper upset.

His meltdown has been the best so far... and his latest post is already in contention for Post of the Year.

Shaft never had you ignored. He just lies all the time is all.

It's because he's a loser.

Ignore on PC isn't really ignore. It still shows the person posted, and then says "CLICK HERE TO READ THE POST" or some shit. I think I ignored someone a long time ago because they kept posting stupid ass shit, but I always clicked to read anyways because I had no self control.

PC ignore requires self control, and shaft has repeatedly demonstrated how he has none, so even if he did have PB on ignore, he doesn't have the emotional stability for it to do any good.

Plus he lies constantly, so there's that.

“If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated!”

If Trump implements his plans, U.S. tariffs on imports from China would reach a combined 104%. The new taxes would be on top of the 20% tariffs announced as punishment for fentanyl trafficking and his separate 34% tariffs announced last week.

A reason China has not invaded Taiwan is because of China's dependence on international commerce, which would be severely upended by military action against Taiwan. If Trump shuts down trade with China, what further reason does China have for delay? If there's no longer the economic issue, then why not invade now? Take back Taiwan and all of its 60% control of the chip market in the process?

If I lived in Taiwan, I would prepare now. Today.

One of the principal reasons why tariffs were abandoned after WWII was to encourage international trade. International trade would, it was thought, discourage war.

International trade is one thing. Systematic international rape of our economy is another.

As to China, I think the series of attack submarines, ballistic missile submarines and carrier group assigned to that area who have the ability to sink China's entire navy pretty much unopposed in the span of 8 hours or less might be a bit of a deterrence to invading Taiwan or, for that matter, attacking Japan. Anti-ship Tomahawks are cheap compared to landing and cargo ships for invasions.

What is happening right now is exactly why I have always viewed 401ks as problematic for the employees. This just proves my point.

My state has a retirement plan. The money that I put into it has lost 20% of its value since last week. It's a good thing I'm not relying on it right now. Imagine all the people who had planned on retiring this week? All the people who are drawing on it currently?

The working class are getting savaged by the elites on a massive scale right now.

Wrong.

China has not invaded Taiwan because they are afraid (and rightfully so) of military retaliation against them by other powerful nations. The United States, UK, other EU members, Japan, Australia, and more would revenge fuck China in the ass if they invaded Taiwan. That hasn’t changed.

Try again, fear mongering loser.
