This is idiocy. The whole trans thing is a blend of insanity and evil. So yeah, still better than the alternative. I will say that I was counting on Congress to shelter us a little from his more self/destructive impulses.

Rand Paul is a lonely voice in the current GOP echo chamber.

He's been accused of having TDS, predictably

Yes, and I now have it from an anonymous albeit unimpeachable source that the derangement aspect of TDS has now progressed to the demonization phase. It’s just sooo unfair to the mango Mussolini.

Someone once said that Maga analysis comes in two forms: ‘Trump is DESTROYING his enemies’ and ‘Mr Trump is being treated very unfairly’. Nothing in between.

I imagine the MAGA people are very disappointed in how disloyal Wall Street is currently being.

I think the best thing we can do at this point is to nationalize the stock market.

Tariff report cards will be coming in with every earnings report of every company. Whatever alleged benefits we'll be seeing as Americans will have a very steep hill to climb to overcome those report cards. They will be even worse if companies keep prices low. There is no wiggling out of these consequences, and there's no clear idea of how the benefits are going to be felt by 90%+ of Americans. You have to be hoping to someday land a manufacturing job to be the target audience for these tariffs.
Education is extremely important.

And lads and lassies, let me truly invigorate you...Anybody who puts all of his eggs in one (stockmarket) basket is a fool. The market will go up and it will go down.
I understand what Trump is trying to do. I do not know if it will work. It is an attempt to grow the middle class into something more like what the country was when blue collar workers without extensive training could still make enough money to afford a small house and a used car.
It is also strategic. You cannot depend on steel, aluminum, chips, etc, for national defense, when those commodities come from adversarial nations or nations prone to a threat of instability.

I beg your pardon, Foghorn, but the major source of steel and aluminum imports into the US is Canada.
Stop with your bullshit. You understand sweet fuck all. In fact you’re like a blind queer at a weenie roast on this- you don’t know what the hell is happening out there. You’re just making shit up while you carry

It's where 401ks and IRAs generally are, and that touches a huge swath of people. And it is the report card of corporate health in America, which is where the jobs come from. It is a huge deal, and acknowledging that does not depend on anybody having all their eggs in a single basket.
All that said, one would be hard pressed to find a better vehicle for wealth generation than the stock market, over any of our lifetimes. Folksy wisdom about diversification into "something else" would be difficult to justify with historical results. Admittedly, gold has actually held up well over the past 25 years compared to the stock market. Real estate hasn't.

Farmland. Good farmland.
Has outperformed the stockmarket since about 1900, IIRC.
