Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I will say, that I moved all my entire 401(k) balance into international market funds, and out of anything based in the United States. Currently, my returns are killing it. I realize that a few months is not a firm or lasting indicator, however, I do feel it is both telling, and a very good sign, for my finances at any rate.
I mean, I don't have any money saved up so like jokes on them...
...but also yeah it is clear to me that the world is going to de-dollarize in terms of the US dollar being a financial reserve currency, but nobody not even people who hate the US (what could you ever be upset with us about???) wanted the de-dollarization to happen this fast and violently but I think a lot of powers that be in the global economic system are realizing they can't wait.
It is going to cause a lot of hurt, and it is wise of you to get your money as far from the US as you can because the signs are pointing in my opinion to a great depression right now in the US. It still can be avoided or mitigated, but those things are not happening, the opposite is happening at an accelerating rate shrugs.
What worries me most isn't actually the conservatives making this great depression 2 happen, the most worrying thing to me is that the rest of this country is in denial about how bad it is about to get. We have decided a great depression can't and won't actually happen in 2025, we have moved past that stuff, same thing with covid. It is a very scary and sickening society to reside in ughh.
I moved 1/3 into international funds (VWICX), but the expense ratio is much higher and I can't tell whether it's offsetting any gains. Are you willing to share which funds you're invested in?
Absolutely:
Thank you so much.
