Be proud! We did it! We had enough people die to get the DOW above 30000!

For months, the Republicans have been telling us that if only enough Grannies died, we could save the stock market!

Oh, some people didn't believe them, but now we have proof of their wisdom!

Back on 28 February, when we first noticed COVID, the DOW was around 25750

And it might still be stuck there if we'd worried ourselves silly about all these deaths!

But America can be strong! We can let 250000 people die, as long as it helps bring up the DOW. And we did it! We brought the Dow up 4250 points!

THAT'S LESS THAN 59 DEAD PEOPLE PER POINT! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BARGAIN!

AMERICA'S GRANNIES HEEDED THE CALL AND DIED! WHAT A GREAT DAY THIS IS FOR OUR COUNTRY!

1. Well, to be fair, I'd like to think the Dow hit 30000 because fewer grannies are going to die now.

But maybe I'm just a cockeyed optimist.

2. No flattening of the US curve yet: it's still up up up

3. Thread title should read

"tRump KILLED enough people to get the Dow above 30,000"

That was his plan

4. I thought it went up because Biden can rightly claim his

new position as President-elect and all that entails.

Dow closes above 30,000 for first time in history on hopes of economic recovery under Biden

5. That would be my guess. But since Trump claims credit, he must think his philosophy worked

6. Never ceases to amaze me how oligarchs support failure-prone Republicans.

The economic pie always expands under Democrats and shrinks (or implodes) under Republicans. Too many Fascist Oligarch eXtremists, I guess.

7. There's Some "Biden Bounce"

November 4, then again that Monday after counts were complete in a few states.
Either way, the DJIA in 4 years under PINO went up 1% less per year than Obama, over 8(!) years and taking over an economy in the gutter. PINO took over a strong market, and a vibrant economy.
No matter how some will try to spin this as a PINO success, the Dow performance was inferior, year over year, than under the community organizer.
