Literally, I just heard from a particular place on the Internet … and I shit you not…
A recession is better than whatever the other person had in store for us.
I swear, Trump could bend them over and shove shards of glass up their ass and they would just prefer that over whatever bad they imagined in their head.
I’m depressed at how often right-wingers try to win an argument by creating a fictional reality in which they’re right. (If that, even. Sometimes the dreamscape exists purely to make their opponents look hypocritical, pathetic as that is.)
Not just a straw man, but a straw reality.

They dont have anything imagined. Just that everything and everyone else is bad.
Is it though? I’ve only very recently (last couple of years) reached a position in life where I could comfortably invest a small amount of money in the market. I’m actually kicking myself at the moment.
Less than a month ago, I was thinking about cashing out, but based on some advice I received and should have ignored, I left it alone. After all, I didn’t want to have to pay capital gains taxes. Now a short while later, things have dropped to the point where I’m just barely above the break even point … FROM TWO YEARS AGO. Meaning my current balance is almost exactly the same as the amount of money I have put into the account. I can only hope it doesn’t drop more.
I’m trying to stay strong. I know that selling the dip is not a great strategy. But at the same time, god motherfucking damn, excuse my French. The average person just cannot get ahead without a significant stroke of pure luck. And that sucks.
Stocks are the one thing people hate to buy on sale. This time might be different because the Russian agent is hell bent on ruining the country, but I am still buying. Index funds. Can’t beat the market unless you are a Congress person.
I love the tiny bridge with no evidence of a creek. Likely there to cover where the septic tank overflows.
