I am unsure how to fight effectively, but I am adjusting my financial position to bet against America. For all the suffering and destruction this budget will cause, that’s my protection and consequence— if the world does the same, maybe we will wake up to the budget’s impacts before it’s too late.

@cheesemaker mostly allocating more of my money into mutual funds/etfs that are “ex-US” than my historical allocation has been.

@jeknotes not giving financial advice! But it’s pretty easy to find broad based ETFs and mutual funds that are explicitly international or ex-US and you almost certainly have them in your 401K as well. You can search the bogleheads wiki/forums for common allocation strategies that discusses balancing US versus international etc.

@jsonbecker is that an easy thing to request or do you have to research which funds that would be? I’m not very good at this all.

@cheesemaker it’s normally right in the name but if not, it’ll be on the summary prospectus one pager.
