Agreed, my 401k is tanking causing me to replan for the worst which I think is yet to come...Some guy on CNN the other day said we should give Biden more time to fix everything, fucking really?...Well he has 2 more years, but his trend is to screw things up more rather than fix anything...
...
I smelled it in the wind last year and rebalanced my 401k. Had been aggressive and been doing extremely well but I knew it couldn't last and that I am getting closer to my actual retirement age - I'm 58 this month. Took a more conservative stand and that probably helped. I was dumb enough to look at it for the first time since then and came away with Fear and Loathing for the Biden administration. PRR something like -12.5 % this year and I think the average is over 15% so in that sense it sucks less than it might.
Makes me goddamned sick to see that and then stand there each and every day and deal with dozens of illegals up my ass which are an obvious result of the border insanity. Many, many more of them than I have ever seen before and steadily increasing. I am perfectly polite as long as they are despite the language barrier but take pains to completely avoid them and NO I am not learning Spanish. Thought I wanted to a while but it rubs against the grain right now. F that, he people who engineered this lunacy live in gated compounds with security. We have preschool children with masks on for zero reason while every day thousands pour across the border who don't even have the basic vaccines that none of us are in contention about. I have two very Left friends who live in Dallas and gee, I haven't heard the usual kvetching from down there in some time. A bit like the dog that finally caught the UPS truck - now you got what you wanted and don't know what to do with it.
So for all the celebrity hypocrites who said they were running off to Canada because Trump was so evil I say 'have fun' because that Woke Horseshit is all over them and lately it doesn't sound like much fun up there anymore. The Left reacted with over-the-top shrieking insanity and developed a double standard that is absolutely galling yet was a strategy that Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels would have instantly recognized and would applaud the method if not the content. We're about to have another nauseating wave of it, much like diarrhea - you thought it was over but oh no, here it comes again. DT has been making noises and so has the RNC and you can either believe they are playing some deep game or it's as blatantly obvious as it appears to be that he'll be the candidate. Thing is, Trump might really not have been that bad overall but he really was targeted and in the end revealed himself to be the egomaniacal nitwit that he really is because he was naive enough to allow himself to be played. Other presidents spoke about the good of the nation as a whole, some more convincing than others. DT can't speak effectively beyond a rally where the topic is himself. My Fear and Loathing includes the fact that he probably will run and they are going to do the damned thing as they did before and it'll work - I shudder to think what could be more over the top (intentional distraction) that what we've seen so far.
