small comfort but i'll take it. i remember my first romance. i could barely say a word. looking back it is unbelievable it ever occurred. i was like a stunned fish. lot of reasons for that but i'll just say i'm understanding. and every difficult journey starts slowly. when i began lifting weights i was so weak, could do so little. but a trickle turned into a torrent and i've come so far since then. many tasks are like that.
anyhow markets are right back where they were last friday, more or less. hope renewed and then dashed again. no reason we can't have a repeat rally though, pce wasn't really that bad and i don't think the fed is going to raise interest rates again. could be a long while before they do the right thing and cut them though, we have tariffs, europe has the federal reserve rate, and someone is going to blink eventually and we can get to the dealmaking, we have too long and too valuable a friendship to really hurt one another, but there's certainly disagreements that have to be worked out. they could be solved already. this could all be theater to justify some scamming, conditions to a deal already made. seems dangerous to talk about so i'll leave it at that.
>>22396973tough break but hang in there. try to get a "real" job in the meantime, something that pays more than retail wages. it will be harder but you don't want to go down the ladder, there are plenty of jobs that are significantly more difficult than retail that pay the same or less, and you may find yourself there if you give up or flip out. trust me been there.
