I thought this offered some helpful perspective: From Reddit - "The market has dropped about 25% right now, sweet, so cheap right? The equivalent point in 2008-9 was Sep 2008. The market dropped another 40% from that point before hitting bottom, and it took nearly 27 months to start growing up from that 9/08 level. That is a long, long time to realize 0% ROI. Buying in Sep 2008 was not a "deal". It was not "on sale". It was just locking you in to a very long and painful period of 0 growth at a time you NEEDED an extended emergency fund. If "previous level" means the peak, it took over 6 years to return." Seeing stocks down is an enticement to buy, but I think I'll just be padding my emergency fund for a while.

Shit, all but one of their locations, too. For anyone who isn’t familiar with them, McMenamins is a group that owns multiple really cool businesses throughout Oregon. For example, for one of them, they converted an old elementary school into a bar, restaurant, hotel, movie theater, etc. The old detention room was converted into a cigar bar. I believe they brew their own beer and make their own wine. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and if they reopen.

This is my exact belief as well. I’m willing to believe we’ll have made great progress on flattening the curve in the next few months. Asia is getting back to normal. Italy is leveling off. Aid will be dispensed, and the trump propaganda machine will be running at full force convincing everyone that trump’s great leadership is responsible for any and all recovery we’ve experienced. Once the economy comes back, especially with rates at 0, shit will be booming and it will be one more weapon repub propagandists can use to tout trump, right in time for the election. I think at that point people will care more about getting back to normal life than removing trump from office. I hope I’m wrong.

Easter Island: Anger after truck crashes into sacred statue
Scott replied to Jason's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
How are these statues so unprotected that you can just fucking ram a truck into them? -
This is exactly it. Who are these irresponsible, clown ass liberals that would rather pout at home than swallow their pride and go vote to make sure trump isn’t re-elected? Your favorite candidate didn’t make it? Boo fucking hoo, you baby. Keep reaching for your socialist utopia each election cycle, but in the meantime let’s get trump out of office.
