Is anyone worried about future instability in the US?

I'd expect it to make the stock market go up more. Things like gutting the EPA powers, privatizing social security/medicare, etc can result in more profits or have negligent effects on market. Not that I agree with the bad things.

I do have concerns with USA and natural resources. Water is getting more scarce in parts of the country and more fires/natural disasters which are projected to get worse. Also our monocultural farming practices aren't sustainable and deteriorate the soil making it unfarmable. Not sure if this would make stocks go down, since they would just increase prices of food and water to maintain profits. I can't predict the future. We shall see.
