My MSCI World ETF shares lost about 4% in a day. yesterday. Does this have anything to do with this shitshow?

Great. removed by mods. So much for freedom of speech at this sub.

I am subscribed to amazon prime, mainly because of the benefits I have regarding shopping. I might cancel that subscription however. I am really annoyed right now because they changed their return policy and they try to force ads on me while at the same time reporting their modt profitable quarter.

No. They make money if they find a sponsor. I also skip over those sponsors' ads but the sponsors don't know that or they accept a certain fraction of people not watching their ads. I just don't watch ads. If, in the future, that means I cannot watch my favourite tubers' content, well too bad, I'll watch some ad-free netflix series or read a book or whatever. But one thing is certain: I'll rather light my dick on fire than watching ads. I even joined a class action lawsuit against amazon because they want to make me watch ads without my consent.

No, it could not have been avoided. I don't watch ads. Ads don't need to be "scam ads" for me to not watch them. I just don't. Full stop.

And in Germany we don't have those without filters.

On the other hand, we have 230V and our dish washers's sump only have half the sump size at most, they heat up the water in no time, even if it's cold to start with. So we've got that going for us which is nice.
