Geneticist Nicholas Schuch plans to move savings to Swiss Francs, expecting ongoing chaos.

Polls indicate growing anxiety, with some supporters questioning Trump’s policies and their long-term economic impact.

    The last political talk I had with my 70+ year old mother ended with her screaming at me and crying while she called me a know it all for actually having thought through my convictions and having data to back it up.

    I called her out for holding a brick in her hand that has access to all of human knowledge and saying all she did was look at fucking Facebook.

    Then I get told I don’t know what I’m talking about despite knowing very well what I’m talking about.

    These people are demented

      This sounds like why I don’t talk to my family.

      Or more accurately, why they (thankfully) choose not to talk to me. Because I’m more than happy to be considered the ‘know it all’ because I bother to rub two braincells together and force them to have to spark a thought to defend themselves.
