The reason this bubble will pop will be because Trump will likely switch to trickle down economics(i.e. cutting taxes for the 1% and pray that they use it to create jobs) which sinks the economy time and time again.
Lmao dude this economy was doomed to fail a long time ago. This stupidity here is actually one of the reasons I kind of wish Clinton had won, because there's gonna be a recession no matter who got in, but whoever is sitting in the whitehouse is going to have to shoulder the blame for something that's inevitable. Economists and even Trump himself have been calling this for a long time now, Trump's policies will have little overall influence.
And I don't think those companies failing would have helped because something just as big coming up to take its place is hardly guaranteed.
That's the whole point. If the biggest industries are propped up on stimulus, then they shouldn't be there anymore. Well, they're not going to be there anymore, one day. The whole idea of short term pain, long term gain is to suffer heavy losses in the interim so that when the recovery happens, whatever is built is actually sustainable. This could be smaller but it would still be better. Think like the difference between taking a loan out that you'll never be able to repay in order to buy a Ferrari vs paying cash for a Honda Civic. Of course everyone would prefer a Ferrari, but it's more responsible to opt for something sustainable, even if it's worse. -

Can't wait to see my tax dollars go towards the USA barging into someone's home, searching their computer to find the porn (not illegal porn that is) that said person is just too ashamed to admit they watch.

I highly doubt it will come to that. Hell I doubt they even did it to catch people with illegal porn. I'm guessing this is to keep an eye on anti-goverment people.

- The Supreme Court is filled with Luddites. I doubt more than 1/3 of the court uses smartphones, if even that many, and I don't believe the justices could set up a damn printer without having to ask their grandchildren for help.
They have repeatedly proven they do not understand technical issues. - I don't think anyone has to worry about this as long as they're not doing anything too crazy. Yes, I know it's still wrong. No, I'm not defending the government. No, I don't think LE should be able to hack anyone.
Butlocal law enforcement agencies do not have digital forensics specialists or hackers on retainer. You can see how unprepared they are to deal with stuff like that even when it comes to investigating online bullying or cyberfraud.
If you're getting hacked into by LE, then you've attracted the attention of the feds, which means you're doing something above and beyond trolling, downloading zetabytes of pr0n, or betting on NBA games. Hell, you could be emailing your piff connect without even bothering to disguise the conversation, and they wouldn't care.
It's not worth their timeand if you're doing something that is worth their time, then you have bigger problems.

The upshot of Trump being the US president is waking up every morning to see Trump having done something idiotic that comedians can get a laugh from by simply stating his actions verbatim. Comedians are on easy street for the next four years, or until he's impeached.
