I pray upper middle class airline pilots replicate the last 4 disastrous years under the new administration. I’m doubtful though.

Honestly I think people are just wrapped up in some weird alternate reality cult. Maybe if in the next 4 years their equity heavy nest egg takes a 30% hit it might snap them out of it? Even this might not break the hold.

I hope the green lines all over the economy keep lurching up and to the right regardless of who’s in charge.
