Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 01, 2024

Lot of this going around.

You know those ads and commercials where they feature some guy who picked 3-4 GOOD stocks 10-15 years ago and he wants to give you investing advice NOW? They never tell you how many BAD stocks he picked in the interim, do they? Nor why the guy is reduced to serving as a shill instead of basking in the sun in Acapulco, the way an actual millionaire would.

Double down then

Golden parachutes are guaranteed

Too soon to mention Traitor Trump bankrupted a casino?

Republicans want to eliminate Social Security. Because then people can invest that money in the stock market.

Meanwhile, Trump has promised to appoint Musk as the Economy Czar. The prospective Economy Czar has stated that the economy needs to crash and there will be hardships for many people.

And all magats are clapping cheering and can’t wait for it to happen. Not only that, but Social Security and Obamacare and Medicare and Medicaid will be part of that.

Magats cannot wait for all of that to happen.

.

And RFK jr. gets to ‘run wild’ as Health Czar. Magats really hate the FDA.

Well, exactly; what else?

Ahhh .. capitalism at work. What, me worry?

There is so much truth to this strip!

That’s exactly how they see it.

i wonder how long (if ever) after the election next week, we will have to wait for comments on political cartoons to be allowed again.

The great American way – just one more thing to love about unrestrained capitalism…

Guess one betting factor is just how many workers they can dump one month before their retirement is fully vested and permanent. Has been a typical ploy since Adam bit the apple.

What is the saying about rich people (in movies)? Something about never using your own money for a venture, and instead taking out a loan to risk “other people’s money”.

Enron anyone?

Pensions? Average Joe has seen the idea of Pensions go the way of the Dodo bird. The only ones getting pensions today are the ones making the rules or the people society can’t do without. Senators and Representatives, policemen, and firemen.

It’s not that funny, because it’s true ! ;-0

Crypto-pensions, anyone?

Sounds like Congress.

Before companies offered 401K plans, they offered profit sharing. But there were never any “profits” to be “shared”

It’s been two weeks? since Trump promised to install tariffs with the implication that there would be plenty of money to run the government without taxes and that other countries would pay for them.

In that time, there have been NO COMMENT FROM ANY MAGAT about tariffs that I have seen.

Do they even know what a tariff is? Can such a large group of people possible be THAT ignorant?

Think of it as laying off.

From Jim Wright:

Elon Musk in charge of the economy…

RFK Jr in managing your healthcare…

Mike Flynn commanding your military…

Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and the dead rotting corpse of Rush Limbaugh are the moral conscience of your America…

Stephen Miller decides your political ideology…

Laura Loomer is the voice and face of your nation…

Chief Justice Canon presides over a Supreme Court made up entirely of Trump appointees…

JD Vance in charge of reining in Trump’s worst impulses…

You have no healthcare, no Social Security, no civil rights, no jobs, no savings, no food, no home, no education, and no hope

Sound’s good, right?

No?

Well, then you better show up.

Nobody will be able to retire anyway. Why not have some fun with their money?

The working class does NOT matter = Capitalism 101.
