Owning shares in Russian-focused index funds that makes up between 0.1% and 0.4%of your net worth is really not a big deal.

Yeah, this is really a big nothing:

quote:

The holdings, while substantial, make up only a small portion of Gianforte’s wealth. The congressional candidate, who made a fortune starting a software company which was later sold to Oracle, has assets estimated to be worth between $65m and $315m, according to his financial disclosure.

Worrying about this is like being pissed off that Obama gets paid to give speeches to people in the financial industry, except actually even worse because Gianforte is several steps more removed here. Laugh at him for being awful and assaulting a journalist, but don't freak out because he's invested in some Russian stocks.

Does that sound about right

It's that my dad thinks people will think that, not that he personally thinks that, but yes.

My dad is the king of downplaying everything that could be good because he has been broken.

Also, The Guardian has a good, informative video on the Montana election. At first, I thought it might be by the same guy that just got assaulted, but it's worth a watch anyway:
