I post art mostly. I also sometimes post how I'm thinking about financial charts. #notscifi #notartbot #art #artstr

Not sure what to make of this correction. I'm still short and stops are in profit, but the EW pattern is not obvious to me. I'm guessing I'll be stopped out as the price retests all time highs.

Replying to Avatar pam

Both RFK Jr. and JD Vance criticized Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate. One was substantive, focusing on policy weaknesses and integrity without personal attacks. The other criticized her as a mother.

Historically, both democrats and republicans have respected women who raise children, regardless of biological connection. Yet now, this name calling is causing those who were fence sitters to split up and get into a shouting match.

And eventually everyone forgets what really matters

It would be an absolute disaster if the presidential selection of the greatest country in the world, is centered around massive bitching rather than addressing real issues like war, debts, healthcare, your children’s education, your job, their future jobs, bitcoin, FDIs, etc.

It would be sad if you vote solely to oppose the other party, and in doing so, hoping that your choice will improve your life.

If your leader spends more time bitching about the opponent than working to improve your own community, then likely that's how the next 4 years will be - what you sow, is what you reap. Politicians often use emotional triggers to distract from solving real problems. This is the same around the world.

As much as you want your preferred candidate to win, remember that you come first. The people always come first. So ask all of them the hard questions, don’t let them distract you.

I’ve read JD Vance’s book, he is a pretty smart guy. Ask him the smart questions. If he claims he wants to improve education, ask him how. What are his detailed plans for turning around the Midwest? Aid alone isn’t enough. How does he plan to boost imports and exports?

Ask Kamala how she plans to improve market reforms in Rust Belt cities and reduce wealth disparities. What are her strategies for reducing polarization? Will she bring Snowden back, end the CIA, end the wars? How does she plan to address the poverty gap, illegal drug usage in suburbs? Her senator Rho Khanna has a book on the importance of manufacturing in the US - what are her thoughts on it ? How influential is DNC in her decision-making - let her openly say it out. She had a term to warm up

Ask Trump why he hasn't invited Snowden back and why the CIA/Deep State still exists. What assurances are there that things will be different this time? What are his plans for market and social reforms? How will he tackle corruption at the borders (building walls doesn't solve the real problem), reduce wealth disparity in the South, Midwest, and suburbs, and address polarization? How will he ensure the judiciary remains independent and just? Get the specifics.

Ask RFK how he plans to improve healthcare and make it equitable. What are his social and market reforms plans. Will he follow his uncle's approach of fostering global friendships (with russia, china, middle east) and all else to end wars? Will he bring Snowden back ? What's his thoughts on intelligence spying? What’s his vision for advancing technology and innovation, similar to China's maker movement? How does he plan to address the CIA?

Where’s Nicole ? What’s her contribution and focus? She has to step up the game.

You can ask all of them what their thoughts are on bitcoin. But you don’t need their permission. You need a mass adoption of people globally and eventually the country leaders will follow the people . Yes, investors will share the fancy slides and tell you differently. They have their arse to cover, not yours.

At the end of the day, make sure your president is good enough to be called your president because he fights for you to have a better life. Not because he won the bitching competition.

We only have ourselves to be responsible for our actions.

Ask them hard questions and hold them accountable - all of them. You deserve the best of the best.

Excellent reflections! TY.

These posthumous portraits of the Saxon electors Friedrich III, the Wise, and Johann I, the Constant belong to a series of sixty such portrait pairs, ordered by Johann I’s son and successor, Johann Friedrich I, the Magnanimous, when he became elector in 1532. He intended the portraits of his father and uncle to serve as instruments of propaganda. The accompanying laudatory poems emphasize the passage of Saxon electoral preeminence from Friedrich to Johann, thereby implying the legitimacy of Johann Friedrich’s own electorate.

Completed in 1533, the extensive series demonstrates the speed and efficiency of which the Cranach workshop was capable.
