The only thing I've purchased beyond groceries, gas, utilities/bills, and pet food in the last 6 months was a pair of boots for winter and two new pairs of jeans. Like $220 total in 6mo.
That was the first time I worried about losing my home. Then forced retirement, due to the big F and his fascist lackies inability to handle a pandemic. And again now, worrying about losing my home while people with no respect for money are willing to ruin anyone's life to have more.
I am finding that chatGPT is starting to repeat the claims by DOGE/MAGA. I am having to prove that the claims by DOGE/MAGA are false. I had to go step by step to show cashing checks provides a receipt to prove the DOGE/MAGA claims the Treasury can't track $4.7 trillion is a false claim.
Just to reiterate the vibe before he took office. None of this was the previous administrations doing like he will claim. All of this is Trump own making.
I own a business. Spent thousands of dollars before tariffs kicked in so i wouldn't have to raise prices. My family has cut back on EVERY non-essential. We believe dark times ahead and we are buckled in for the ride.
I believe this whole thing is going to crash spectacularly. His poll numbers are falling. His deportations aren't going as planned. Inflation is up, eggs shelves empty, Americans smell a rat. Elmo the Musk, will be the likely fall guy, but will he go? When that happens, the fight will be nuclear.
Makes sense. On one hand selling to get profits on the other diversifying. US economy is still fundamentally strong and market will stay ok. But im 100% sure by end of next year we gonna get 2008 style crash.
Same and it looks like we are in good company. That Wall St can’t see a rational fear response in consumers to all these wild govt actions is what is really weird.
Earnings are booked and all I see ahead in the markets are Friday surprises by Trump, anything could be announced, why not announce a 50% tariff on Costa Rican Bananas today. Who knows..
interestingly, the beat town in the last six months of 2024 was not due to any actual change in economic conditions. markets were doing well employment was was fine. It was a crisis of confidence, created by campaigning on our country being on the verge of bankruptcy
yeah, I’m surprised how the market has hung in there, but I’m of the belief now that markets don’t fall until the biggest players have had a chance to reverse positions to profit from the fall.
Happy my father of blessed memory z"l left me his gold coin collection. He lived through the Great Depression. I am prepared for this moment. Cash and Gold.

Find an old book about "victory gardens", and lay in some packets of seeds.
Retail investors are behaving like nothing matters & there’s no way for Trump to wipe out the economy.
The good times have rolled for so long they can’t see the cliff.
The trick is ~ how do we navigate the mess?
I can feel it in the air
I can feel it deep in my bones
There are sounds of thunder
They sound like drums...
Obama was gonna go door-to-door taking all the guns?
Does anyone know wtf he might do day to day..
Turn your empathy off.
That is the message Dems must repeat 100x a day!!
It’s not going to get better.
