Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

Most of the S&P 500 companies may be US companies but have significant parts of their business international.

Unhedged ETFs like VXUS and VEA can have an advantage (and disadvantage) of currency swings. There's seems to be some decent consensus that the USD will likely devalue over the next 5 years strengthening these investments.

Can’t argue with that. The Replimune saga is case study in the government trading Americans health for some BS position that we just need to eat more granola or something.

Just rinse off in creek full of sewage and bacteria...says the guy with a brainworm.

Who needs those pesky vaccines?

Who needs those pesky vaccines?

Politicians and pharmaceutical companies mainly.

Right, because nothing beats a good solid case of whooping cough, tetanus, mumps, measles, smallpox and polio.

It’s a shame they say so much cray-cray sh…tuff, because it buries some legitimately good parts of MAHA.

We are a very unhealthy country, and changing that would improve many people’s lives. But it won’t cure/prevent measles.

MAHA isn’t about telling people they should eat better and exercise. Michelle Obama did that, and no one listened. MAGA is about finding someone to pin the blame on for Americans being unhealthy. The crazy is the core of the plan. A feature, not a bug.

Michelle was just another obnoxious mom telling kids to eat their vegetables.

It was stupid.

MAHA really does have a lot of good stuff they're going after if you ask me. I was excited about much of their so-called "plank." Really unfortunate that they got their position of power in Trump's presidency amidst and alongside so much other nonsensical and conspiratorial bullshit that gets top-down pushed.

Eating whole foods, fruits and vegetables is a core tennant of Mahaxxing, so why isn't it stupid this time?

MAHA and Let's Move! really don't have the same food philosophies...

MAHA and Let's Move! really don't have the same food philosophies...

They aren't exactly apples and oranges, they're pretty friggin close. Focused on eating more whole foods, improving school nutrition, better clarity on labelling.

How they are exactly the same, and you can throw in the food pyramid dating back to 1992, is that these guidelines won't be followed.

You a finding distinction without a difference. I’m not sure where this falls in the MAHA health plan.
