Uuuuuand there it is again, the usual hypocritical "I'm worried about the US economy" post that's about everything but the US economy. Actually, you just wanted to tell us that you really, really hate Trump. Yeah, fine, now what?

Your core thesis is that we should perhaps be more cautious with investments in the US. But you're just going completely off topic. Starting with this democracy blah blah blah argument. That has no connection whatsoever to the economy or investments. The US could be a constitutional monarchy and it wouldn't be an argument. Monaco is also a constitutional monarchy and you're not worried about their prosperity. So tell me specifically what do you care about their form of government?

From an economic point of view, deregulation is also a positive thing. Please tell me one advantage I could have as an investor through regulation and taxes. You say you are worried about environmental pollution and groundwater poisoning. Same principle: Firstly, what do you care about their groundwater? Secondly, what are you actually doing to ensure that the groundwater in other countries or in your own country remains clean?

The Greens had in their 2021 election manifesto that they would enforce a ban on groundwater privatization. The Greens haven't bothered for 4 years now. Have you criticized them for that so far? Oh no, they're the good guys and you've never once thought about the damn groundwater in your everyday life. And that's what I mean by hypocrisy. In your entire life, you've never shown any interest in the global spread of democracy or the protection of groundwater - not even your own.

Unfortunately, you didn't do yourself any favors with the edit and made your post even more ridiculous. So now the really glaring problem that speaks against US investments is the lack of abortions? I really can't think of anything more to say. Abortions are not a significant economic factor nor is anyone here invested in abortion clinics.

Boy, why don't you save yourself the beating around the bush and just say you're on a big hate kick for Trump and be done with it. There's nothing to it.

This entire text is completely about every random topic in the world except investing.

@Soprano you start a very long comment, which is hardly about the content in my post, but only about your feelings towards me (because I really didn't mention the green ones anywhere in the post) by accusing ME of simply writing directly that I'm pushing a hate kick at Trump.

Also, you ask why I care more about the US than Monaco (I'm sure you can figure that out on your own), or why I care about changing the system. Just for you in case you don't get it quickly: system changes are very rarely good for the economy and peaceful, I have no idea how you don't come to these two conclusions on your own.

But you won't come to anything on your own anyway, because the next question is "why do you care about their groundwater?"
People drink poison, people fall over, people no longer consume and no longer buy the new iPhone -> bad for Apple.

All the following nonsense that refers to my alleged political orientation drifts completely off into a weird green bashing in the form of a topic that I really have nothing to do with. Due to its absurdity, I would nevertheless spontaneously say (since you don't seem to have come up with the idea yourself): In a government with the FDP, no ban against privatization was enforced, but if one had wanted that, one should certainly blame the Greens.

If you think a text on political security in the USA is not about investing, I really can't help you.

The only spark of rational criticism that I was able to glean from somewhere I will of course take as an opportunity to change the post. So that my intentions become clearer.

@leveragegrinding Well, to be honest, how am I supposed to respond to the content of the post if there is no content? I would have liked to remain factual, but unfortunately the text hardly contained any factual arguments before editing.

If you put it so diplomatically now, I can hardly disagree with you about the system change. So the toxic groundwater harms Apple okay. But what about the pharmaceutical industry? What about companies that sell water treatment plants? I'm not making this up now, but that's how politicians really think. They don't necessarily have a primary interest in the health of their citizens. In Canada, active euthanasia was legalized in 2015 and since then there have already been cases of people being advised to use it (on the grounds that it would relieve the burden on health and pension insurers). That is absolutely beyond words. What I'm saying is that if the US decides to destroy its nature, that's certainly not cool and perhaps even immoral. But it's not a negative economic factor per se - which was supposedly the point of the text.

Well, I could edit my post now and take out the TWO sentences about the Greens. Then we'd be even. But I think the part about the "political (in)security" of the USA was perfectly countered by JD Vance yesterday at the Munich Security Conference. Ultimately, he said that exactly the same things we say about US democracy could also be said about our German and European democracy. I don't want to open a big can of worms here, because I think you can really argue for a long time about whether the USA or the EU is more undemocratic.
