The stock market plummeted after President Donald Trump confirmed tariffs on Canada and Mexico would go into effect at midnight.

The S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent, marking its worst day since December, the Dow Jones Industrial Index lost 1.5 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq was down 2.6 percent at market close.

    Stock market blips:

    Lemmy: “HA HA! GOING DOWN MUTHAFUCKER!”

    Same with the Tesla stock blipping up and down. Some y’all got the political and economic sophistication of sophomores.

    More to the point, you’re exactly like conservatives, believing anything social media serves you, upvoting BS that aligns with your beliefs.

    The real story here is the lack of hit on the market. I’m surprised the tariff news didn’t hit far harder.
