Long story short, there's no safe harbor. Funds cannot keep actual cash because of the risk of bank default so they must hold in liquid assets like treasuries. Those are now sinking in value. Stocks are crashing. Commodities are crashing. Even gold price is sinking. There's nowhere to run.

In Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 there were people who became books to preserve them from biblioclasm, name a book that you would become. Catch: no repeats! Earliest timestamp claims the text. I call the Silmarillion!

So the SSA, (@altssa.altgov.info) would know better. But I KNOW, for sure, that IRS is rejecting taxpayers returns because SSA has reported to IRS that the taxpayers are dead.

That episode made one thing clear: this isn't just a trade story anymore.
It’s a test of how global markets respond to US policy when trust in process is low, coordination is absent, and expectations are diverging.

I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S.
This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S. #handsoff

Strom Thurmond, racist Senator from SC, has held the Senate record since 1957 for his 24 hr & 18 minute objection to the 1957 Civil Rights Act.
It is beyond fitting that @booker.senate.gov may break that record today in opposition to yet more racism & illegal gov activities.
