Point is that you and I are both making assumptions. I assume no safe harbor. You assume ex-US is going to fare better. You fail to see that you may be wrong. Historically, you’re wrong.
I am in the top 2% of household income distribution. Yes, we’ll buy pizzas and wings and shit like that. My wife still buys farm produce, and that’s cool. But most discretionary spending is on hold in my house. I don’t know if my employer will exist in 6 months.
I was planning on shopping for a new house a few months ago. Figured we could afford an upgrade. Nah, fuck it. I’m cool living a modest lifestyle and reevaluating over the coming years.
Suck my dick.
