NYDailyNews: McDonald’s sales unexpectedly dropped at a level not seen since the COVID-19 pandemic dragged on businesses in 2020. Investors got the bad new Thursday when McDonald’s Chairman and CEO Chris Kempczinski told them during a conference call that numbers at U.S. stores opened at least one year had slumped 3.6% in the first quarter of 2025.

Here comes the #TrumpDepression
CBS: Stocks sank sharply in morning trade after new government data showed the U.S. economy shrank in the first 3 months of the year.
The S&P 500 dropped 93 points, or 1.7%, to 5,468; the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 604 points, or 1.5%; and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed 2.4%. The Commerce Department said in a report on Wednesday that the nation's gross domestic product — the total value of products and services — shrank at a 0.3% annual rate, down from growth of 2.4% in the final 3 months of 2024.
"This is Biden's Stock Market, not Trump's. I didn't take over until January 20th. Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers," he wrote. "Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden 'Overhang.' This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS, only that he left us with bad numbers..."

LOL. Biden left with GDP ~growing~ by 2.4% and expected to rise even more. This is 100% The #TrumpDepression we're heading into. and it has ~everything~ to do with tariffs.

Let's start a pool on when we reach 10% unemployment thanks to Trump's tariffs and failed economic policies.

ENG: Visionary essay by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor on End of Times Fascism and how to combat it. What follows link are extracts translated to spanish.
ESP: "Nos enfrentamos a una ideología que ha renunciado no solo a la premisa y la promesa de la democracia liberal, sino también a la habitabilidad de nuestro mundo compartido: a su belleza, a su gente, a nuestros hijos, a otras especies. Las fuerzas a las que nos enfrentamos han hecho las paces con la muerte masiva. Son traicioneras para este mundo y sus habitantes, humanos y no humanos." (...)
"Contrarrestamos sus narrativas apocalípticas con una historia mucho mejor sobre cómo sobrevivir a los tiempos difíciles que se avecinan sin dejar a nadie atrás. Una historia capaz de despojar al fascismo del fin de los tiempos de su poder gótico y galvanizar un movimiento dispuesto a arriesgarlo todo por nuestra supervivencia colectiva. Una historia no de fin de los tiempos, sino de tiempos mejores; no de separación y supremacía, sino de interdependencia y pertenencia; no de escapar, sino de permanecer en el lugar y ser fieles a la problemática realidad terrenal en la que estamos atrapados y atados.
Ese sentimiento básico, por supuesto, no es nuevo. Es central en las cosmologías indígenas y se encuentra en la esencia del animismo. Si nos remontamos lo suficiente, cada cultura y fe tiene su propia tradición de respetar la santidad del aquí, y no de buscar a Sión en una tierra prometida esquiva y lejana."

In less than three months #Trump undid the full faith and trust of the #US of #America that #Hamilton put in place in 1790-1791.
WTF is #Congress waiting for? Complete collapse of the US economy and a #WorldWide #TrumpDepression ?
Secondo il sempre finissimo #Trump, erano “tutti in fila per baciargli il culo”.
Mi sa invece che, dopo una settimana, il buon #Trump ha calato le brache per ben altri motivi.

@aaron.rupar The #TrumpDepression will be the GREATEST depression ever! #EconomicVandalism
@JoeChip @GhostOnTheHalfShell Congress has the power to claw back the tariffs, but the GOP members are too afraid to be out front. They will wait until their own constituents light pyres to give them courage, but the damage may be done.
The #TrumpDepression will be the GREATEST depression ever!!!!
@cbarbermd Are we really surprised? The man bankrupted a casino. A casino!

Last century, it took a black Friday and the following depression to turn #fascism up to 11 in western nations.
Another little item we can tick off the list now... wonder how many more to go.

I remain much against buying things in the US. I am NOT going on a pre #tariff spending spree. If anything we did a little of that before Biden left (got a fridge that was badly needed) and stocked up on some canned goods. But we are stopping that now! Time to bow out of this economy as much as can. If you have any savings, maybe buy some land so that they can't steal your money. Remember, Trump has threatened to end the #FDIC and you can probably imagine why! #trumpdepression #trumprecession

The United States had strong alliances and a bright future but destructive Donald Trump put an end to that.
"As Pres. Donald Trump levies crippling tariffs on Europe, China and the rest of the world, the E.U. is cautiously looking to Beijing as one way to achieve what it now calls a need to “diversify” its economic partners in the face of U.S. aggression":
