How was your week, USA?
Attached image is me watching the news, so let's talk about something else. I had all the snow near me melt, and then got about a foot overnight which was nice except for the snowplow blocking in my car and making me have to shovel.
My IRA and 401k are trashed, I’m questioning everything I thought was good and moral, I cannot understand why my fellow Americans feel the way they do, and there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to escape the onslaught of Russian alt right propaganda in the entire world anymore.
And, there’s a known human trafficker just jet setting around Florida?
I cannot understand why my fellow Americans feel the way they do
Bc they are in pain, and lashing out. That doesn't make it right, I'm just trying to help answer your question.
This has been coming for a very long time - literally decades.
I've thought about if I should do anything with my retirement funds, and I don't really have a good answer other than just "leave them be". If the US economy tanks, it'll probably be monopoly money anyways. The only real thing I could do is become a goldbug or prepper, and that's not appealing for a variety of reasons.
I was still invested in some individual stocks in my IRA that have taken a beating. I had planned to sell them and go all in on Vanguard S&P500 ETFs, but had not yet. I’ve lost about 30%, but feel like the only option is to wait it out now.
Had a meh week but I'm actually glad lent is here! I'm not super hardcore about it but I'm trying to read and work out more instead of gaming.
I have been trying to focus on learning how to compose on a Dirtywave M8 tracker and I am learning how to use Abelton Live 12.
Nice! If you haven't seen it yet, there's a !musicproduction@sh.itjust.works community
