        Hoping you don’t have a 401k (if American) or any other sort of American or Global stock based ETF exposure because Micron is American. Or Asian ETFs that include Korea.

        I mean obviously it’s a good thing that the triopoly finally has competition, but “they’re Korean” is such a stupid take when tens or hundreds of millions of people’s retirement will be affected and one company out of the big 3 isn’t even from the same continent as Korea.

          Fuck a 401k.

          I was paying into mine before the orange fungus took office. But now I don’t even know if USD will be worth anything by my retirement age. I’ve opted to put only a few dollars back per month now in the rare event it’ll be worth a damn.

          I’ll probably die of plastic in my balls before I’m able to take anything out anyway.
