    Trump took us off that path for the most part.

    Well, we almost reached the Emerald City. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full with what looked like huge monkeys, all swooping and screeching and diving around us, and a voice was screaming: Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals?

    Dow Jones is gonna get creamed in the AM. The europe ban will not be reacted to well. As is the NBA cancellation and Tom Hanks catching it.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    So you're saying 8 years (you know, the maximum) of a President can't possibly result in serfdom? If only young Xericx had known that, might have saved him some angst.

    What was the relevance of the attached pages? You had your pay centrally planned by the government, prior to Trump? I'd probably need proof of that to believe it.

    What planned sports were you forced into?

    It's a road.

    We havent gotten to many of the ideas....yet, such as the Universal Basic Income.

    But they are in the sights of young democratic socialists and what not.

    Ah, UBI is a way station on the road? Was Social Security also such a way station?

    Yes. You'll see when it has solvency issues.

    It may end up with solvency issues, but I doubt I'll see it send us closer to serfdom.

    If things are so tight that you have to "scrape together money" in order to gamble on buying stocks, you might just as well play the lottery.

    Freefall again. For all of Trumps bluster we might end up lower than when he took over very soon.

    Most likely, a case of deaf ears and/or wrong frequency....probably both.

    You buy the dip.

    If we get through this relatively painlessly, the market may recover or be above the high. Lots of "stimulus" to "make things right". I dont personally agree with it, but you leave emotions at the door.

    I expect some kind of airline, cruise and hotel bailout.

    Numbers may get worse but hopefully we are equipped to handle it. If so, the market should do well.
