This is very situational, i.e. different for a 30-year-old than a 60-year-old. But if you are not retiring in the near term, the only thing you should know about the stock market is 1) that you know nothing about the stock market and 2) should just keep buying 3) even and especially if the market 📉
This feels like one of those stories you're going to look at a year from now and say to yourself, "Why didn't I move more of my portfolio into cash?" **

Venezuela has become the Trump regime’s comfort atrocity. Any time Donald doesn’t like what’s on the TV, he blows up another boat filled with civilians. And it’s only a matter of time before it gets even worse. Possibly far worse. Possibly very fast.
Trump's illegal war on Venezuela is a sneak attack on our freedom
We must force to Congress debate and vote on it.

yeah I think the really insane part about this is that absolutely you are paying $250-$300 per week per child but also somehow the childcare workers who have classrooms with ten or fifteen kids are also only getting paid $500 a week.
when i worked at a daycare in 2012 the parents were paying like $300 a week! i was making roughly $300 a week so i was like “maybe i should just be nanny and only have to take care of one child???” childcare stuff is basically where the parents and the workers are all unhappy, we should fix that!
"childcare can't possibly cost 32k" for two kids? Yeah it does. 1300 a month per kid is probably a better deal than you're going to be able to find. If you weren't aware of that, then it seems like the writer of the blog isn't the one divorced from reality

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.
I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

Trumpian politics has, as a hallmark, transferee the idea of political vote to expression of personal identity. Trump actively argues that supporting Trump (or opposing him then by definition) makes your life better or worse.
Thing is. It doesn’t. And it takes people about eight months to get it.

Like the Afghanistan pullout it also came at the same time people started getting mad about the economy and was the moment people who weakly supported him were like well I didn't vote for this.
it's very fitting that in retrospect, Trump's failure to oust Jimmy Kimmel was the point that his administration turned. It's been all losses ever since
