Tinfoilhat: no way there are so many dumb peoples running this government of billionaires right now. While billionaire doesn’t mean much (you „just“ have to be ruthless and good at exploiting others)… maybe there is some heavy short selling stuff and/or buy-ins going on in the background? I mean stock market is crashing due to this dumb move and it would be good opportunities for both of this. I can not imagine this is plain stupidity.
