The big reason my wife and are in what can only be described as moderate panic mode. We had both planned on retiring in what is now the window of Trumps 4 year term. We won’t have time to recover from damage done to SS, Medicare or the markets. Can only hope that they blink, not hopeful.
With seemingly nothing else stopping Musk, Trump and project 2025, we’ll see if mass protests have an effect. Otherwise, we’re only spending on necessities and keep assets as liquid as possible. Not sure even the bond market will survive if the U$ tanks on world markets.
My wife works in Healthcare. She said she’s working like normal, but is wondering what and who has been cancelled by DOGE and FOTUS today. The 2 big Federally Qualified Health Centers on Hawaii Island merged last year. If they are forced to close, shit will fly.

The democrats love going on news shows saying he shouldn’t do that. A lot of good that’s doing.
Love this song by The Emerson - Honolulu stomp. From the liner notes: The Honolulu Serenaders recorded this song in 1928. They gave it some interesting cord changes, and it’s fun to play live, as long as the guitars hold together
Unplugging. Right now we don’t know if Musk and Trump will blink. If anyone in congress has a backbone. Or we just going to drive off the cliff. The courts are having no effect.
I remember the sit-ins 60s war protests when everyone felt hopeless.
A classic
