New site of revolution is about to drop

My primary requirement is that it can run an aftermarket oprn source firmware well. Like one of the WRTe or similar. I would find whatever is new and reliable that fits that requirement.

The capitalist class is only united by their interests. Cutting wages? You'll get full support. Blame the minorities for every problem? Well that's useful for Ted firing an entire factory of white workers to scapegoat POC underclass workers but it runs counter to Bob's PR hiring strategy for hiring PMC Karens.

Those little stabilizer muscles can get weak and it can be hard to even notice until you do things like stand on one foot! If you do thst 2-3 times per week you will see good progress within a month.

I recommend beginner's yoga videos and a thick yoga mat. You can always skip poses that are too hard or just do them with less extension. The nice thing about yoga is that you can "fail" any time and just hang out on a comfy mat. Low impact and slow movements.

I also recommend simple isometrics. Practice standing on one foot for over a minute. Do planks. These kinds of exercises focus on building up the small muscles that help with stable walking and running and improve posture. Give yourself 1-3 days of recovery time, with more at first.

Sure we could speedrun the end of US financial hegemony but what about my treats?

Haha nice

I've never actually verified this but I have always been entertained by the talking point that he woukd be richer if he just put his inheritance in an index fund.

The big players benefit from the business cycle. They build up big war chests when they think there will be a downturn abd then buy up all the smaller companies that fail. Overall everything gets worse but they don't really care about that.

I do think they are flirting with a massive crash that hasn't been seen in ages. Quantitative easing remains at full blast. There aren't many tools they would actually want to use to stabilize "the economy" when there is a crash. So it could just be a Great Depression 2.0. Tariffs destroy demand and the country is propped up by imperialist consumption + IP so I think this disaster has legs.

Of course Trump could reverse course on the tariffs and call them a negotiating tactic instead of a failure at any moment. Who knows.

Index funds are down around 5-10%. Currently things are quite uncertain. Some policies could be reversed and you'd see a rally. Demand might skyrocket for a month and then crash, making it a 20-30% loss. Is this the dip to buy? In generally individuals cannot reliably make that judgment. Uncertainty means you should ideally move away from volatility, at least just a little. If you're 80% index funds and 20% bonds or CDs or similar, consider 70-30 as a hedge. This could go either way, the point is that it is more conservative, it protects against large losses at the expense of average potential for gaining because the market seems particularly risky/volatile.

If you have cash to throw at a retirement fund and want to gamble (buy low sell high etc etc), I would personally wait a month or so. It is now more likely than ever that shortages and accompanying price hikes will hit. Commerce has small warehouses now. "Just in time" logic. That would cause an actual profitability crisis.

Ignore it. Maybe transfer a slightly higher amount to more stable bonds or something similar. Attempts to individually manage investments are usually over-tinkering.

I think it's not a bad idea to have some gold (in hand) if you can afford it. Not as an investment but as an inflation hedge and a way to buy a plane ticket in an emergency. Kind of like wearing a chain to afford bail but for the entire country.
