Disasters don’t always happen in a snap. We’re in the middle of a slow motion disaster, any
anything can happen.
Literally. POTUS could wake up tomorrow and say anything and do almost anything. That rolling of the dice problem with a very serious economic disaster makes it exponentially more dangerous in this phase.
We’re probably closer to a depression that we have been since 1929, and that depression didn’t bottom out until 1932.
Also my assumption is that folks in a public forum are middle class people with retirement funds and some home equity. Gambling with your retirement or the kids college savings is dumb. If you’re sitting on a few million liquid bucks or are very young, your situation is different.
