They are so jealous. They can’t get anyone to show up at a rally to support them, at least not anyone without a mask on.

Enter the Nanny State. I no longer recognize my country.

I never thought I would miss good old fashioned capitalism.

The administration is all in on AI technology which is propping up our economy right now.

At the same time they are cutting thousands of university research grants.

Do they not understand where new innovations come from?

They are so short sighted and ignorant.

Why do we keep threatening to shout ourselves in the face and think China will stop us?

Like soybeans, they will go elsewhere to buy the oil they need. Our farmers will go bankrupt

Yeah, this is normal.

I want this guy to be a role model for my sons.

They only know hate.

That said, I really hate them.

I was taking myself walking, but it was not joyful. The dog had enthusiasm and exuberance.

I made it 4 months before I got a pup.

Walking is too important, and so is joy.

So I guess today was TACO Monday.

Friday we announce 100% tariffs. Today we say never mind - sort of.

We don’t know if we have high tariffs coming or not.

It all depends on what Trump feels like in the moment, or what options Barron bought

This is insanity.

Wow. It has to be this bad before they realized how f***ing wrong this is.

Maybe a glimmer of hope that they will get a spine.

It is all being recorded and these evil people will be thrown out of office because of the Hatch Act.

When we regain power and enforce laws again.

They would have to replace all those screens after people threw things at them.

Everyone is so over all the lies and immaturity.

Spread kindness and love instead.

Elizabeth Korevaar @ejk415.bsky.social · 1d

Be actively kind. Step out of your comfort zone and say something you like about an acquaintance.

Love and kindness are contagious.

The markets in1929 & 1987 didn’t have ETFs, options, crypto, and other leveraged vehicles to create insane volatility and risk. What took the markets up this high will extend the downturn. Gravity is not kind.

Oh no, everything is fine. The president said not to worry about the China thing. And he would never lie to us.

China says “let’s have a trade war”.

They don’t understand how much we loathe them. They live in their Fox News bubble.
