So long and goodbya-eee
Just like a real-life Trump business! Seriously, have you seen his business track record? The only thing he was good at was getting richer while his companies went bankrupt. Grifter from start to finish.
Haha I was thinking that when I made it. Hopefully this is the kind of meme that would bother them if they saw it (since ‘Business Man’ is a core identity characteristic to them)
I don’t think they read Lemmy.
And you’d think this would be bad for people invested in the US market like Elon, but it helps them concentrate wealth. Recessions are good times to buy up shit for cheap if you are one of the few who can afford it.
This is actually one of Trump’s stated goals, to weaken the U.S. dollar. He believes that it will make American industry more competitive.
It is at odds with his goal of maintaining the U.S. dollar as the international reserve currency…
Are we that suprised coming from a guy that bankrupt a casino?
At least wait to see if this continues
I’m leaving the country in a few months and my savings tanking is a legitimate concern. I don’t know a lot about finances. Any ideas how I can squirrel away a bunch of it in case the US goes full sideways before I can leave and move everything over to my target country’s money?
I don’t want to be that guy, regardless of my username!
Gold is probably going to be the easiest intermediary for you to travel with, it’s a pretty good hedge against inflation - but it has been on a bit of a tear lately; so there’s always a risk of pullback.
Alternatively, you can exchange part of your current savings into your target country’s currency? (There will be caps on how much you can travel with, so research that first).
Might be worth seeing if you can buy/invest in Gov’t bonds in your target country, or open up a bank account and deposit the funds into a high-yield savings account or term-deposit.
Lastly, there is always crypto - but that’s probably even more volatile than what the US would be over the next few months.
I like the nice touch of Musk driving.
Art of the deal ofc!
