Trump and Pelosi are great examples of hypocrisy.

Yet they were elected repeatedly by a majority.

They are great examples of the tribalism that has infected our country.

Just seen the conference of Trump negociating the Tariffs with the representative from the Heard Island and MacDonald Islands .

That's ok, those are only temporary losses on paper, so what if your retirement fund tanks, it will bounce back.......remember, it's ups and downs, ups and downs, I'm sure all the 80 plus year olds out there are fine, they have all the time in the world for this to bounce back.

I would hope an 80 year old's financial advisor has them in bonds and money markets. Anything else would be criminal. No 80 year old should be heavily invested in the Dow or S&P 500. Like I said, if they are in a managed money situation, they would have grounds for a large lawsuit. If they aren't, then they are either lifelong risk takers and they know the score or they are functionally stupid.

I guess your sarcasm meter is broken.

Yeah, this is going to end well.

Make it 1000% while you're at it.

At that age you should be in about 65% bonds.

He will kill this industry, which admittedly small and insignificant economically, but he will kill it.

Is there any way to move toy production to Eastern European countries? I’m not familiar with the intricacies of manufacturing but I’m just as concerned as everybody else.

I think the cost of production is too high. I believe that FL figures are or were sculpted in Russia but manufactured in China to save on costs.

Move production/set up factories/train workers..........this takes time and money.

Time is not on our side.

Plus as stated, there are tariffs on those countries too.

Game over.

The market is expected to be bouncing back today. Hopefully that holds. I'm a bit disappointed at the glee among some media types at the market losses to validate their own political grievances.
