Okay, but the largest drop by percentage is the 22% drop in October 1987, which I remember all too well. This week's drop does not compare.

But yes, it's all pretty messy.

This isn’t Kneejerk Nancy! This is the voice of someone who’s been paying attention and knows when things have tipped into truly bizarre and abnormal territory. I don’t think you have to be of any particular political stripe to recognize that we’re likely heading into a very strange and dark time in the US. I really appreciate her laying it out with such clarity and conviction.

Thank you! I've been out of the posting loop but that also means agglomerating more. The trip to the Amtrak demanded a download!
