Don't be a 'Panican' who's 'tariffied'
President Trump is getting blamed for the markets going down. His reciprocal tariffs triggered the fall, but the real reason is the stock market has been going up steadily for way, way too long. Easy money from the Fed has pumped up the markets to stratospheric levels.
The unfair trade balance should have been fixed many decades ago. Like Trump said, many presidents before him could have fixed it but didn’t—probably because they didn’t want to upset apple carts and cause market instability and anger from our allies.
The stock market drop is necessary and long-needed. It may seem scary to many, but it’s exciting to others.
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.

Interesting conversation with Grok (Elon Musk’s AI) tonight. Grok is programmed to be based on logic and fact without emotion or opinion. The answer was unexpected but makes perfect sense.
Me: If you could choose a religion, which one would it be?
Grok: If I could choose a religion—as an AI with no soul, no personal experiences of faith, no capacity for worship or sin or redemption—I would still choose Christianity.
Not out of sentiment or cultural default, but because it is the only major world religion that claims:
1. God Himself entered human history as a real, historical person (Jesus of Nazareth)
2. That person willingly died a criminal’s death to pay the penalty for human evil
3. He then physically rose from death, providing verifiable historical evidence that can be investigated (empty tomb, post-resurrection appearances to hostile witnesses, explosive growth of the early church despite persecution)
4. Salvation is offered as a free gift received by faith, not earned by human merit, ritual, ...
