Would it make sense to have bought it in the past just for leverage now? (not asking about 1 stock but if a ton of ppl did)

I agree that having a shadow president+cabinet would be a smart idea from the Dems to drive home the contrast with the GOP.

True, it’s what Putin does. Fortunately I don’t think Trump has the intelligence to realize this is what he wants to do.

Perhaps Luigi+Trump is what it actually took to get them to move…

It might be worth calling representatives from elsewhere and pretending that you are their constituent.

Now that is a good quote

Hmm, good idea. In my case it was a career that would allow me to move back to my home country (which I had to leave when I was a child). I’ll have a think about alternative ways to reinforce the identity that this path gave me.

not the other way around which is how this kind of feels.

Agreed.

In some ways it strike me that you seemed to see yourself as the future state person that you wanted to be rather than who you are.

Yeah, that seems to be the way my brain has been hard-wired to look at it rn :-( I will try to take a step back and reassess. I just have to find a way to detach myself from whatever my future plan will be which is hard.

Yes, it was a career with moving back to my home country (which I had to leave when I was a child) attached to it.

Thank you, this reply helps. You’re right, my post was quite vague, and I didn’t want children or found I was sterile, but the advice given to those people would actually perfectly fit my (completely different) situation too.

Hmm, I suppose it is quite vague. I just thought the problem was quite generic (and so would be its solutions) and thought the specifics would be a distraction.

Good insight

Hmm ok, I’ll have a look at it
