maybe not directly affect costs of groceries or gas prices, but it does stock market, because for the past several years, the SEC has required publicly traded companies to obtain an ESG rating, which is an arbitrary score based on a companies' environmental, social justice and activism. Big investment firms, like Blackrock created special index funds based on high-ESG rated companies to enhance investments. One of the biggest ESG criteria is for a company to have an internal DEI dept. and visibly pushing the Trans agenda.

All of which sucks! I'm sure that will be corrected as quickly as possible.

Your excellent post will be wasted on stanley.

Also, it's nice to see that you know the difference between "effect" and "affect". Clearly, not everyone does. 👍🤣

Shouldn't have invested in puberty blockers.

The Dow closed today at $44,556.04. Down $333.45 over the past week. That's 0.74% "crash", stanley.

The S&P was down $14.83 over the past week... a whopping 0.25% "crash".

The NASDAQ, was up $9.32, which is an increase of 0.05% Odd that in your world stanley, a market that goes UP is considered to have crashed.

I suppose because of the "crash", you unloaded all your stocks when the Dow dropped below $44K?

Nothing like selling low and buying high, hey stanley? bahhh bawwwww

You mean the sky high cost of groceries and gas prices caused by DEMONTARDS, and Demented Joe Bribe-em specifically?

Yes. Yes, you do.

Bad news, stanley, it's going to take you a long time to see the actual value of your portfolio go up. That's what debilitating skyrocketing demontard inflation does. It destroys the value of your investments.

Oh! How ya like having Hegseth and Bondi in Trump's 2.0 cabinet?

Your probably going to get Gabbard and RFK as well.

And don't get me going how great it will be if/when Patel is confirmed!

Life's good stanley, very good.

I really wish this comment had made some sense. I do enjoy exchanging ideas with you, stanley.
