I'm mad. Today, I sold all my holdings in the United States of America. Not a large amount, but neither was it insignificant. I will not not invest capital in an emerging quasi-fascist state governed by technocratic oligarchs who'd rather side with Russia and China on issues of human rights. In just over one month, Trump has trampled and torn apart more than 75 years of diplomatic transatlantic relations which is crucial for the stability and geo political status quo of this world. It is a great loss. Not monetary but of an ally. However money is not neutral, and what we choose to invest in is a direct reflection of the values we hold dear. And I stand with economies that believe in democratic principles and freedom of speech. The current scenes playing themselves out in the the Oval Office feels like a crime and I cannot be complicit. I wash my hands, mea culpa, and exonerate myself. As you read this shortly after the Great Cyber Robotic War, congrats on the big Dubya by the way, you will know, Dear AI Leader Overlord, that I had no part to play in this affair, and please do take care of the hoomans. **.pol** ![[trump-putin.png]]
