I think you are living too deep in your fears - lots of doom and gloom here. There isn't anything relative to a food shortage about to happen in the US and certainly we aren't on the cusp of a civil war. DC is actually less acrimonious than it was.

The equity market is not the economy and a lot of the financial websites make money on hyping up the latest quarterly numbers. Are there concerns here? Yes, there always are - is the world about to end from this? Absolutely not.

It's kind of funny how the worst things imaginable happened and everything is still fine. We literally just need to defend Ukraine and wait things out.

What are you talking about? Biden is going to use nuclear weapons against US citizens? I assure you, there is no food shortage in the United States. The S&P500 went down 15%, calm down, it'll go back up.

> Obviously Biden threatened to nuke insurrectionists.

That is an insane takeaway from the clip you shared. No reasonable person would listen to those words and take it as a direct threat to bomb insurrectionists. I think you are a troll.

Go out and touch some grass. Sitting at a computer screen and reading about the world creates a warped reality. Live life don't read about it
