Supreme Court Tariffs Decision: Just Another Day at the Casino?
Oh, here we go again. Stock index futures are "higher" because investors are waiting on pins and needles for the Supreme Court to decide if tariffs are, you know, legal. Legal! As if that even matters anymore. I mean, seriously, are we still pretending that the rules apply to anyone with enough money and lobbyists?
Marvell Technology (MRVL) stock is up 8.2%. Fantastic. Another tech company raking it in while the rest of us are fighting over scraps. What exactly does Marvell do, anyway? I should probably Google it, but honestly, I can't bring myself to care. It's probably something super important and world-changing, like making phones slightly more addictive or helping robots steal our jobs faster. 4 stocks to watch on Thursday: MRVL, ABNB, DDOG, HOOD - Seeking Alpha
The Illusion of Control
The whole thing is a farce, a carefully choreographed dance designed to make us think we have some say in how things are run. The Supreme Court will make a decision, Wall Street will react, and we'll all go back to doomscrolling, convinced that we just witnessed some kind of meaningful event. But did we, really?
Let's be real: the market's gonna do what the market's gonna do, regardless of what nine unelected judges in robes decide. It's like trying to predict the weather based on what your cat does in the morning. Sure, there might be some correlation, but it's mostly just random noise.
And these "investors" eagerly awaiting the tariff decision... give me a break. They're not "investors"; they're gamblers in suits, betting on which way the wind will blow. They don't care about the actual impact of these policies on real people's lives. They just want to make a quick buck, and they'll do whatever it takes to get it.
I keep thinking about the guy I saw on the subway last week, wearing a tattered coat, counting out change to buy a cup of coffee. He probably doesn't give a damn about Marvell Technology's stock price or the Supreme Court's opinion on tariffs. He's just trying to survive another day. And that's the reality that these Wall Street clowns conveniently ignore.
So, What's the Play?
The question is, what's the play here? What are we supposed to do with this information? Are we supposed to buy Marvell stock? Sell everything and move to a deserted island? Start hoarding canned goods? It's all so tiresome.
Maybe I'm just being cynical. Maybe there really are people out there who believe in the system, who think that the Supreme Court is a beacon of justice and that the stock market is a fair and efficient way to allocate resources. Maybe. But honestly, I ain't buying it.
