This man knows the market. He predicted: 1) Dot-com Bubble (2000) 2) Great Recession (2008) 3) The COVID Bubble (2021) Howard Marks just went on Bloomberg and said “tariffs are changing everything.” Here is his latest warning:

The federal minimum wage hasn’t been raised in 15 years.

For 15 years, rent has gone up. Groceries are more expensive. Utility bills are higher.

For 15 years, corporations got bigger. Billionaires got richer. And working Americans got screwed.

Americans deserve a raise. pic.twitter.com/I2p3kJEtYH

BREAKING: The White House caves on most tariffs—then calls it “The Art of the Deal.”

You can’t make this up. These are the most dangerously incompetent people I’ve ever seen:

– Disrupted global supply chains
– Sent American companies into a panic
– Tanked global markets

What’s the real motivation behind Trump’s tariffs? He believes they’ll bring so much money to the treasury that the U.S. will be able to afford another giant tax cut that will mostly benefit the rich. Who will pay for it? The working class. Here’s what you should know.

Oh my god. At the exact moment Trump announced his tariffs the market crashed in real time.

CNBC is SAVAGE for doing the side by side.

Silicon Valley Bank last week became the largest bank to fail since the 2008 financial crisis, sending shock waves through the tech industry, Wall Street and Washington. Here’s what we know, and what brought the bank to its collapse.

Notice that literally no one stopped to ask how this would be paid for. They just did it. “How will we pay for it” only applies when it’s for the benefit of everyday people. The rich, the military and cops don’t get those kinds of questions. Only the public good is questionable. https://t.co/jgwBVdgfDN

It took them less then 48 hours to make sure depositors at SBV were covered, yet student debt cancelation is means-tested and is being challenged by the court.

Just in case you forgot who exactly the system is designed to work for and against.

People really think poor folks live off of the rich when it’s the other way around. #GeneralStrike

For days, major CEOs & certain powerful people have been admitting, in clear terms, that they are willing to sacrifice people’s lives for their profits, but are NOT willing to sacrifice their profit for people’s lives.

People get confused when the stock market goes up despite people losing their jobs. The truth is that many companies will be more profitable and efficient with fewer employees. Investors pay for returns not jobs.
