    Since literally everything in the government seems to be getting dismantled, what companies are going to pick up the pieces for these sectors? If we are drowning in a sinking ship we can at least invest in a life boat to buy eggs with and fight the impending inflation. The goal seems to shift trillions from government funding to private sectors and deregulate to let the friends of Trump get even wealthier.

          VNQ. But I am holding a large cash position and don’t know what the fuck is going to happen. Either way, I am going to be buying substantial equities sometime in 2025. I’ll probably DCA into total US market and then when trump shits the bed I’ll dump a lot of money into the market. I might favor tech.

          Alternatively, if there is decent real estate in my town, I’ll dump my house and buy something bigger and better. Probably the safest investment I can make, long-term.

      Solar is and isn’t going to be a future successful asset, because Trump will do everything to devalue it while the rest of the world moves right on to adopting it.

      Gold is at an ATH, Bitcoin is at an ATH, oil is a gamble because while Conservatives may push it, the move for renewables is against it.

      Metals and materials for computer chips are still worthwhile investments and Ai is shaky unless it pulls a few more parlor tricks.

      The only real things I can find that are corrupt and exempt enough from litigation or a recession…

      are prisons and weapons contractors.

    Sure, whatever.

    At this point, I frankly don’t even really care anymore.

      He appears to be picking people from one of three lists:

      • Republicans with media experience (aka people he knows from TV or social media).
      • Whoever wrote the relevant section of Project 2025.
      • People accused of being Russian assets (mostly just Tulsi Gabbard at this point, but there’s a reason she’s going to be in charge of foreign intelligence and it’s not for our benefit).

      Meh, I liked Devos’ Title IX policy changes. Even if over half of it was “some guy sued a college over due process and the college lost, let’s bake the decision into formal policy” and most of the rest was just firmly establishing who does what and obvious basic fairness things.

      That’s basically the only thing Devos did that I liked, but it’s slightly better than nothing!
