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 :)</p>
