Even though hundreds of millions of Americans experienced a double-digit drop in the value of their 401k and retirement accounts, she can barely make it through two sentences with a smug smirk creeping across her face.

So much for the myth of "liberal compassion."

When Trump takes full credit for it rising you bet your ass they're gonna pin it on him when it falls.

Leftists don't care about the economy; the one aspect of society that actually affects most people's wellbeing. All they really care about is if the policies that make them feel good about themselves pass.

If you can't show compassion for people of another ethnicity, then why should a person on TV show compassion to Trumps supporters bragging about Obama setting up a good economy the past 8 years for it to be ruined by an orange man?

Well, it's actually a good sign for the economy at large. And you only lost huge on your 401k if you were at retirement age and planning on withdrawing everything tomorrow. Hopefully anyone in that particular circumstance can afford to wait a few weeks or months for things to climb again.

Both ends of this are hyperbole: "Hundreds of millions of Americans" don't have a 401k account:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-21/two-thirds-of-americans-aren-t-putting-money-in-their-401-k
The combined result of those two numbers is that just 32 percent of American workers are saving anything in a workplace retirement account. Four out of five workers are employed by companies that offer a 401(k) or similar plan, but most workers arent using themeither because theyre not eligible or because they arent signing up.

32% of the workforce amounts to about 60 million people.

And today's drop was only 5%; not "double-digits."

Only 32% of Americans have money in 401ks, so calling it hundreds of millions of Americans is needless hyperbole.

Also, the Dow has essentially lost the gains from December 2017 to now, which on average grows about 2% each month. No one should be crying about the sky falling just because of an abnormally large rise in December and January being wiped out.

I'm not talking about everyday politics, I'm talking about going on a rant every night about Trump this, Trump that, Trump, Trump, Trump. If she ends up in a straitjacket after 2024 I wouldn't be surprised.


Trump is the president and thus dominates political news. You just sound angry that a left leaning news channel isn't showering a right wing lunatic president with praise.

Imagine being so bitter that you're happy the market took a hit.

FYI, many democrats in majorly liberal states that have high union employment have 401ks.

So before you revel in the market drop, just remember not everyone with a retirement plan is a trump supporter.

also it's deeply oversold at those levels

i went long with 200,000 about two months ago, and that acct is barely in the red on the trade

anything i went long with in jan got wrecked but that's on me. what i go long with now is likely to do well.

If you only have compassion for people insofar as which specific identity group they belong to, you don't actually have compassion.

Probably so, but Maddow really doesn't fit the mold of someone that appeals to even the most progressive elderly. If you know what I mean..

Although anytime I've heard her speak about a biotech advancement, she says something antiscience and suddenly panders to an elderly Christian view.

I'd say it better to watch Fox or MSNBC over internet "news" folks such as TYT or Alex Jones.

Of course with something as broad as the internet, you can find worse cases. You can also find plenty of better alternatives.
