Definitely an interesting way of putting it. A cop who seizes a big bag of cocaine during a traffic stop wouldn't claim to have saved however many lives the amount could potentially kill.

Fentanyl is cheaper. And the drug of choice for poor white trash.

All of this is distraction from Trump’s disastrous and unproven economic theory of tariffs being good for the working and middle classes.
We basically have everything worse than western/northern Europe except that our middle-class salaries are higher and our gadgets are cheaper. Take that away and we're accepting terrible worker's rights and exorbitant healthcare for no reason at all. People will turn on Trump fast if those store shelves go empty by the end of summer and prices soar.

Ok
By the way, after today, I’ve made all my money back on the stock market that I “lost”. So much drama.

And for what? So we could lose the buy-in and leverage over Canada and Mexico and the European Union?
Democrats should drop leftist insanity right now and focus on this stuff.
The stock market hasn’t decided what’s going on yet. Whether deals are going to be made or the tariffs are really here to stay.

It’s all about leverage. If you invest the way you overreact here I can only imagine what your portfolio will look like in 10 years. I’m guessing most of this is For show.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
He’s a dumpster diver as it is.
Unemployment rates are higher in Europe except for the Netherlands and Switzerland. The social benefit systems of Europe come at a very high taxation rate also.

So it’s for show? We’re not going to get back all our low tech widget manufacturing and textile factories?

The drama was coming from you. From the very first day of any kind of market drop, I saw it as a buying opportunity.
I believe Trump is trying to force his hand with many players around the world, but especially here at home with the Fed and interest rates.
Perfectly fine to disagree and dislike it, but to run around with your hair on fire all the time it’s kind of humorous.

I stay the course. Max out both the Roth IRA and 401(k). About 60% domestic and 40% small cap and international and bonds. No change. I’m humble enough to accept anything could happen with this economy or the mad king’s impulses.

I said most and I’m certain we don’t want the textile industries and things like that back, but we do want tech and heavy equipment and steel and things like that.

We do have heavy equipment and tech. Are you kidding?

Good. I’m approaching the 1 million mark in my 401(k). I’m certainly not concerned. I’m actually amazed that a truck driver like myself with limited knowledge could do so well. This does not even include my Roths and other investments.

You don’t believe our position could be better are you kidding? Why do you pretend you’re intelligent and say such dumb things? A conversation with you is like a conversation with a schizophrenic person. This is why your banned here so often because you cannot control yourself. You really need to take personal inventory of your life maybe even seek some help.

I believe this is the type of thing he wants coming here.

Whether or not he is successful and whether or not you agree with his strategy is fine, but this is his plan. I’m sure.

I immediately am personally attacked when I bring up the fact that we have lots of high tech manufacturing. Our durable goods manufacturing base is nothing to sneeze at. Pretending like this whacky on-pause-off-gimmicky tariff “policy” is going to strengthen our economy is not based in any historical fact.
But keep attacking me. I know you’re good at that, at least.
