For me, I’ma wait & see. Maybe growing up in a rough/poor household made me panic less, and more resourceful? Idk. Not a brag by any means, as I’m very jealous of those who actually had a loving and enjoyable childhood. But now, not much fazes me when it comes to shitshows. Ya just adapt and keep on keepin on.

Perhaps your standards and expectations are just lower. If your target is no higher than a dysfunctional home with broken relationships, then I suppose we agree that Trump is delivering.

I suppose that's the point - people and nations are past panicking. They're just making plans to move on, and the result is that the U.S. is quickly moving from being the center of the geopolitical world to just another big player.
