Worse. Willing to bet this port came with infrastructure money and a guarantee that if the Peruvians don’t pay the Chinese seize the port, becoming de facto sovereign territory.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

If your circumstances change, you can make a lateral move and invest the net profit in an index fund.

Only the first missile.

Don’t underestimate their tactic. For the republican presidential campaign, they will recognize only one of two outcomes: victory, or election tampering/fraud/manipulation. And, the wider the margin of win, the stronger the rhetoric will be.

In this case, you’d be expected to exercise reasonable judgement on whether this UFO may be developing into a hazard. Four-ways on, and pull to the side of the road if it’s safe to do so.
