What a complete fucking waste. My dad who isn't a Trump supporter but fell for the whole strong man "I'm gonna fix everything" schtick, works in finance and couldn't believe Trump unleashed the tariffs. 🤷
Finance people are actually quite clueless. Spouse is in finance and I, the lawyer, actually dictate our investment strategy (and we pulled out early this year so we’ve been spared the bloodbath). I attribute it to lawyers being trained to spot risks and to mitigate risks. Also, having an understanding of how the law works is a huge competitive edge.
I was reading about the 2007-2008 crisis and crash and how most economists did not see it coming. There is a small list of people credited with predicting it. But after reading that, I have realized no one is going to warn or save us. We truly have to look out for ourselves.
