OT - Obviously I don't 'get
it'
<p>OT - At what point does this market become 'toppy'?
What has changed since election day? That we've got a vainglorious
psychopath with no experience being president? That he's appointing
his billionaire friends and/or people with no experience into his
cabinet? That his policies will include pushing coal as fuel, and
you can expect that a shoreline is coming to a house near you? That
the inexorable trend, despite 'showcasing' how to leverage
companies into staying in America, will be that automation will
create a class of 'owners' of production who are super-rich, and a
class of 'unemployable' that is super-poor, unless the rich
understand the implications of not 'spreading the wealth around'?
(Don't hold your breath.) </p> <p>Perhaps this
'momentum' won't be readily apparent in our lifetimes. But if you
have kids, pretty much any job will likely be able to be
virtualized by algorythms. </p> <p>When
Trump first announced his intention to save $4 bln by replacing the
next Air Force One with his own plane, it sounded like it might be
a good idea. Then I thought about, if America was under attack, not
having a plane that was 'hardened' against weaponry/electromagnetic
pulse/would not able to communicate with ground forces, and most of
all, almost assured that the inhabitants of that plane would be
surely destroyed......it started to sound like an even better idea
