Tea Nerd 22

I’m a huge tea enthusiast, cat lover, history nerd, and follower of politics. Always learning. Always trying to do better.

In retrospect, one aspect of the movie Ant-Man that is now suspect is the notion that Scott Lang, an engineer with degree and particular set of criminals skills, couldn’t get a job. In real life, Darren Cross would have hired him to help take over the federal government.

I don't think switching out CEOs is going to help Tesla. They should have done that years ago. I'd say the damage has been done, but VW still exists, so who knows. Consumers have short memories.

No matter how my day is going, I know that I'm having a better one than the Conservative party of Canada. Losing an election they were winning months ago by 20+ percentage points is going to hurt for a long time. Heck, it's going in the history books.

Part of how we got here is by letting christian nationalists dictate vocabulary. Like letting them call themselves pro-life, when they are anything but. Letting them call themselves anti-crime, when they are just pro-fascism/pro-bigotry. And on and so forth. They aren't conservatives. 1/2

Republican lawmakers really aren't thinking things through by calling off town hall meetings with constituents. I really hope that Dems filling up those spaces helps significantly change the political landscape in said areas. Probably shouldn't dream thusly, but doing it anyhow.

While it's generally best to keep your money invested in stocks (broad market index ETFs are best) and ride out any turbulence in the markets, sometimes we are given such clear signals of a downturn that it's best to go risk off. This was one of those times.
