A Boring Dystopia

There are tons of options other than investing in the markets. If you have enough to invest, instead you could start a housing coop with a few other folks (it's easier than it looks) and spend your resources maintaining or increasing the property values, as an example.

If the incoming administration is able to pull off even one or two of their more spectacular plans every single person on earth will be affected by the ripples. Deporting the migrants alone will decimate our economy and lead to skyrocketing inflation.

The only way we are going to have a chance at doing anything but surviving is if we come together for mutual aid & support and find new ways (or rediscover old ones) to how to build a future. Investments help the Oligarchs (especially if you invest in indexed funds and things like it) and won't be worth the bits they're stored in if inflation gets out of hand.

But then again I have lived at or below the poverty line for most of my adult life, so "investments" are something for other people to take advantage of.
