Look at all the experts! Lol People speaking from experience doesn't make them experts.
It makes them experienced.
So I am among the only people in the world who have experience investing during a global social justice/political upheaval that comes in the middle of a global pandemic that shut down pretty much the entire global economy that was already showing signs of weakness, which has caused depression-level unemployment in the US and a double digit drop in GDP. Oh and it’s an election year and no one knows how to have elections or hold meaningful campaign events. You have experience with all of that? Cool.

Yes, I have experience with Bear Markets.
Me thinks you're a bit out of your league here judging by your reply above.
FYI, before it happened:
I never had experience investing when terrorists flew planes in our skyscrapers like they did in 2001.
I never had experience investing when real estate markets totally collapsed and mortgage banks were going under like they did in 2007/2008.
I never had experience investing when millions of dot com startups all went belly up in 1999/2000.
Yet I've had experience with ALL of them. But but but, "how is that possible" you ask.
It's possible because I've invested through both Bull and Bear Markets. Doesn't matter why the market is up or why the market is down.
Bulls and Bears, and yes, I've had experience investing in and remaining disciplined through both.
Today's is called a Bear Market, and yes, pretty sure everyone here (except possibly you) has had experience with Bear Markets. Volatility, huge index swings, panic selling, etc.....been there done that.
Your post above clearly shows your inexperience with these types of markets which is why I think you're a bit out of your league here.
Comes down to this:
If I buy a security today, I don't care what it's worth tomorrow. I care what it's worth 20 years FROM tomorrow.
Bulls and Bear, Bears and Bulls. Not my first trip to the rodeo.

Sometimes you just fall into it with no experience. Terri's Microsoft stock went from the 50's to an all time high of 198 the other day. If it keeps up like this I may be seeing a lot more of the Sunday River crew on a regular basis.

Tough night in ATL, shitty. Lots to discuss here. But after watching video 10x, here is a tip. If you are pulled over by police, do as they say. It’s all on video now. So, don’t fight, resist, steal officers weapons, run, etc. All of those actions can and will put you at risk. This is not a color thing. I am sorry that guy lost his life but he could still be alive today if he just listened. Unfortunately he didn’t and the police used deadly force which I do not agree with but can’t even understand what that is like in the heat of the moment. Cause and effect here, one bad judgement call led to a deadly incident. I am saddened for everyone involved w this story.

You and yoour family's lives will be held in the balance every day from now on. Your life especially is in jeapardy as the more pressure to make damn sure lethal force is needed will dampen your reaction times and possibly mean in a really bad situation, you won't be going home to your family after your shift. I sure as hell wouldn't let my son or daughter become a Police Officer without trying my hardest to persuade them otherwise today. A tough, risky profession is about to get as close to suicidal just by signing up as you can get.
