I guess people thought he was bluffing? Is there some echo chamber somewhere telling everybody that?

I didn't think there would be this much happening in less than a month. It's almost hard to process it all

Waiting it out. Likely will be short term pain. Looking to buy up some good names cheap.

Not making any sudden moves. Sitting on cash, mostly. Not feeling great about things, but it's like watching a pinball machine at this point, things will carom around, certainly beyond my control. So taking it easy and enjoying some popcorn and hoping people who are vulnerable don't get hurt too badly in the coming chaos.

Just increase hedge?

It’s definitely overwhelming! I try to stay focused on what I can control, like sticking to my work priorities, limiting news consumption, and taking mental breaks when needed. Staying grounded in the present helps me navigate the constant stream of updates. So much is out of our control that I just can't stay too fixated on it. What about you??

Honestly I have found that I've been throwing myself into work more. Maybe I'm subconsciously doing it so I don't have the urge to scroll.

Nothing ever happens 😎🆒

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

**I'm not in Chicago
