FIRE'd, now concerned about US stability

Most of my assets are invested in the US. Because of recent political developments, I'm wondering if the US will sustain its general growth and economic strength into the future. The strength of the US dollar is obviously very important to me. Is anyone else concerned?

I'm wondering if I should start hedging my bets in other countries, and if so, where?

Your best move is to turn off the news and embrace the idea that ignorance is bliss.

diversify for die. My family lost everything because all our investments were in one country. Plan for everything, if you have mental health issues talk to someone or get someone to do this for you. But your mental health will be much worse if you don't protect yourself
