All Will Be Well When The Day Is Done

BREAKING: Dow is very near a bear market. It's now down 19% from its all-time high (achieved on Feb. 12!)

A 20% decline would end the 11-year bull market run. https://t.co/axUuDTnrcn #stocks

FAKE NEWS! (It's the "11 year run" that's the clue.  Because it's still the economy, stupid.  Say goodnight, Donald.)

Winner of Least Self Aware Tweet of the Day.  A) one cause of death is much more likely than the other.  B) how you die matters much less to you than to others.  "Glorious death in battle" includes ravages of war, destruction of people, buildings, communities, and the sheer pain of war (so "glorious" it may be to you, but to the survivors....).  C) because dead is dead.  Afterlife or no, how you die is not the measure.  How you live is the measure.  One lasts much longer than the other.  One is remember much longer than the other.  One matters much more than the other.

The biggest miscalculation I made this election season was underestimating the raw political power of the desire to just get back to some sense of normal.
