I would stay away from internet/social media stocks. It's highly likely that the EU will respond in large part by targeting American services/IT stuff.

The rest of Asia and the EU need to rip the fucking bandaid off and decimate our trade.

The sooner your average American wakes up to the fact that Trump and Republicans have just fucked us for a generation, the sooner we can begin to remove and rebuild.

The people in power are mostly boomers and Gen X who have no intention of giving up even an ounce of power to our younger generations and they are willing to burn the country to the ground to ensure we won't get a slice of the pie. Notice how every president seems to be older than the last?
