    Carter haters, where ya at? You shat on my boy until the day he died for a much more eloquently delivered request for austerity in the face of economic hardships. Surely this will turn you against Trump forevermore, right?

    I’m waiting for when this illegitimate president publishes his own little red book and a Five Year Plan for a Great Leap Forward.

    Oh, also, when does our version of Lysenkoism really get going in full swing [1]? Are we going to start castigating our crops as “insufficiently maga” and filled with “the woke mind virus” if they don’t harvest themselves due to our hate-filled immigration policies?

    [1] I mean we already have Bobby Brainworm pushing completely anti-scientific horseshit.

    Trump is both weak and stupid, that’s why Putler has a nice pink little leash around Donald’s neck.

    I pulled my entire 401k from the market in hopes that it would increase the sell-off. Fuck around and find out stage is where we are. Dude wants to go full fascist. Well, the only thing fascists understand is economics, so that’s where we will hit them.

    Sadly, it will affect us too, but, id rather be poor than sitting in a camp somewhere for disagreeing with the government.

      I just had a talk with my wife about this as well. Do we pull it, knowing that it’ll get hit with the 10% fee. But then put it back in after the market is absolutely crash? Like…I’m assuming it’s going to get a lot worse …

        You can transfer it to an pre-tax IRA with no penalty. I found an IRA at a credit union that is NCUA insured (similar to FDIC) which means it can’t lose money. The interest rate is low, though.

            Yes, but if you don’t like your IRA for some reason, you can also just transfer it to a different IRA. Some IRAs do invest your money into the stock market, so they can have high interest rates (and risk). All IRAs have the advantage of being fully under your own control, unlike 401k’s which are substantially controlled by your employer.

            Note that you can only do one “rollover” per year, but transfers are unlimited. Whenever you move money between any of these pre-tax accounts, try to make sure it will be a “transfer”, not a rollover.

        That’s not how a 401k works. You can’t just freely put money in to it.

          You can reallocate assets within most 401Ks to be entirely in fixed-interest vehicles instead of stocks.

    I picture donvict watching the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P tickers on his big screen TV and screaming at the TV. Some incoherent bullshit about nCLANGers, oops, I mean DEIers, the “woke mind virus” and the “deep state”.

    This is 100% self-inflicted. Meaning, donvict inflicted this on all of us and himself. He is the single person that caused all this. Not one other person is to blame.
