Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to get rid of citizen's united and implement independent district drawing and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Data is ugly: this does not contextualize gains made in the tail end of the election and upto the inauguration. This miscommunicates the harm done to them. The economical harm must grow.
Also although this is nice to see. It’s alongside average American person having serious financial compression. Everyone above still has billions of dollars. They don’t care. The average American is deciding between food, rent, heat or meds right now. As I see a lot of “FAFO” I see this getting a lot worse through the summer where energy prices will surge.
Seriously, TSLA is still at the same level as it was on November 5.
Basically there was a completely un justified bubble in the past few months, driving it up to double what it was worth for years.
Tesla was always an unjustified bubble. Even after these losses it has a market cap of ~800B compared to Toyota at 295B. Despite Toyota selling 10.8 million vehicles to Teslas 1.8 million last year. Assuming similar profit per vehicle tesla should be worth ~50B, assuming 3 times the profit, tesla should still max out at ~150B. There's a long way to drop yet.
Sad fact, though, is that these guys can’t lose money without everybody also being affected by it. Except for maybe Tesla, since it is easy to just not be invested in that bullshit. I imagine Amazon just goes up and down with the rest of the economy.
