    I wish you well through this. It’s hard to see any upside at all, at least within our lifetimes. I hope you’re able to avoid a maximal amount of fallout from it. I was hoping to retire early but that was contingent on investments growing stably. I don’t think economic stability is in the cards for us. I know that would’ve been a huge privilege. But not even those who are marginally well off can escape all the consequences of the curb stomping America just received. Those less fortunate will suffer immeasurably. Imagine if we have another pandemic. I don’t think Trump learns lessons unless it means more money or power for him. America just taught him he can commit piles of crimes and let thousands of people die, and he will still receive fame, fortune, power, and adoration. It’s hard to understand how fucked up our voters’ perceptions are. It might be studied like we do with the Roman empire. Maybe next time humanity can actually learn from it.
