I was speaking w/friend whose child has special needs. They're saving great for their child' long-term needs. They understandably chose a conservative investment mix that's prob not ideal for 2045. If your family faces such challenges, get w/fiduciary advisor to game things out.

Good piece by @schaller67 and @paulwaldman1 responding to critics of their book, "White Rural Rage." A lot of the criticism seems in bad faith -- a weird anger at them for daring to raise tough questions about what's really going on with these voters newrepublic.com/article/1805…

This interview on @NewAbnormalPod was fantastic. I come from a rural, white town of *maybe* 300 people. Elderly & transient population since the late 90s. Guess who they support? #AddToCart @DeeTwoCents @andylevy @schaller67 @paulwaldman1 #WhiteRuralRage sphinx.acast.com/p/acast/s/t…
