I almost edited my comment to revise my position, and I was waiting for someone to call me out. I’m glad you did. Immigrants built the US (Canada too), and fully earnestly I believe it’s what makes America great. I would be angry if someone questioned, say, Ilhan Omar’s citizenship and patriotism because she was born elsewhere. I can’t not hold that opinion simply because Musk is a piece of shit.

So without snark, I don’t question his citizenship. I don’t believe he holds the values I think make an “American” (or, uncomfortably, maybe he does…), but for better or for worse, a citizen he is.

Calling Musk an “American” is surely stretching the truth a bit, innit?

That is generally my feeling, yes. But if I were a time traveler there’d still be two or three events I’d probably avoid. Will this be one worth avoiding?

I get that the question is in contradiction to the statement about timing the market; I guess I’m just thinking out loud and wondering other people takes on it is?

I what I mean by timing the market is reallocating based on what I think may happen. Simply increasing contributions (if I can) when the market craters might technically be timing it, but differently than what I mean.

I’m not looking to profit from the collapse. Funny moves like shorting things isn’t my style. Neither is trying to time the market.

My question is what do I do with my retirement to avoid collapsing with it?

I know you mean that 30% their employees are gay, but it tickles me that it reads like you’re assigning them a position on the Kinsey scale.

The one nearest me is owned by a gay couple. Not sure how that slipped through the cracks…

So you’ve never eaten it and are judging it as bad food?

DuckDuckGo is AI opt-out, and for me that’s a non-starter.

I’ve personally found Kagi the best search alternative.
