> I felt the 2025 market would get worse but never thought to have "(potential) mass government layoff" on my bingo card.

I'm curious if this is because you never heard about what was in Project 2025, or didn't think Trump would win, or didn't think he would enact it?

I learned from 2016 and didn't discount the idea of Trump winning again. I just didn't think he'd enact it. He'd be blocked by properly smart people who realize across the board that "this will impact my money".

And to be fair some smart people (in the courts) are blocking it. I just didn't think so many illegal actions in the course of a month would escalate this far without. It makes Nixon look like the Dali Lhama.
