I think we are the “Find out” part of the shutdown. Millions of people dont have the money to eat or just dont have an income at all. If this goes through the holidays, we are in for a much bigger shitshow

Yep, my Roth IRA took a big hit this week because of Trump and the incompetent republicans. It’s absolutely awful.
I’m doing okay financially but even then am nervous. Can’t imagine how it’s got to be for others way less fortunate than me. Truly astounding that our leadership is letting this happen with no relief for anyone that isn’t a billionaire.

man….this place is crazy. just flew from Dulles to Seattle. plane full. TSA still checking people thru. airport busy.
yes your Ira dropped. but it also dropped how many times since 2020? it just drops…then goes back up.
point being. fed workers arent the only workers out there in US who get a paycheck during good times. plenty of people still getting paid n spending that arent feds. sucks for fed works no doubt.

The reason why headlines like this use points instead of the percentage is because people aren’t paying attention, and 400 points sounds like a lot because when you were a kid a hundred or two points was a pretty good drop.
400 points is a less than 1% drop. It’s a normal down day, these happen all the time.
