    ve known as an adult for all my life--the one where I pretty much know the standing rules, and have adapted to incremental changes as best I could, for the last 2-3 days this is all gone.The closest parallel was the 2008 crash here in the US. This one,
    really, is probably not like that one--shouldn't be as deep for long, and what's more important, could be substantially reversed by more of Trump's edicts (reversing or modifying the exec orders) or if these are somehow over-riden.For 2008, the nature of
    the crisis was basically a credit-lockup based on the inability to make any sort of accurate estimate of value on a specialized type of financial instrument. No major financial house in the US could say what their holdings were worth if they held a
    significant amount of these instruments, and all of them of them did to one degree or other. It was the end result of a short-sighted policy decision that took maybe 6 or more years to develop. This crash is entirely different in that all instruments
    are intact and will be easier to re-evaluate. Liquidity should remain OK, with some hiccups.Honestly, I don't think Trump has any real policy or plan for this. He's simply looking to kick asses--his favorite pastime, and OK if you are not the target. And
    I work pretty hard to never be in anyone's crosshairs, but this one is more like an open choke birdshot 10 gauge. Hard not to get hit at least a little.



    It's still nothing when you put things into perspective.

    I won't bother you if you want to engage jdeluise and share mutual concerns.

    ;)

    Care to explain that perspective if you have something intelligent to offer?


    You should be less arrogant.

    What's so intelligent about you or your Biden that you have the right to mock me, saying you'd only read my stuff if it's intelligent enough?


    We've been over that shit for years here.

    If you want your echo chamber, enjoy it.

    I understand this, skript, but really, in a place that has been historically stable, like the US, the comparison is not relative to how bad it could be, or has been elsewhere, it's how is it relative to one's own lifetime.All else is historical onanism.
    ;^)


    Let's break it down like this?

    If you voice your concerns or dilemmas and anxieties in your personal life I won't mock you. I won't argue over your perception. It is what it is for you. I know the difference between absolute and relative.

    That's why I jokingly said I'll leave you and jdeluise (known Trump hater and anti-fascist) to discuss "horrors you're witnessing".



    Otoh, if we go into real factual discussion, I'll have to be candid and I can't pretend I'm seeing anything that's surreal or unexpected.

    I don't think you need to be Nobel winning economist to understand Trump.

    He acts as if America is a real country with its interests.

    The elites that oppose him, act as if the US is global wannabe world government.

    That's all in a nutshell.


    MAGA types are one pole, jdeluise is another, and I guess you're in between?

    He has constantly made life much harder on himself than it needs to be--somewhat self-destructive. You can see this everywhere you look: ideas that might be pretty good, but completely unfinessed.
    ...I always have, it's not really that hard unless you make it harder than it needs to be. Which is EXACTLY what troubles me about Trump. He makes the difficult almost impossible.


    You said this many times about Trump. He makes it difficult for himself.

    You also described a certain tennis player in similar fashion.

    Funny. ;)

    Those, if anybody, seem to be the people that don't understand Trump.
