Lol, did you get to the article? Enough said.

So now that Trump is gone, NYT is a solid source of journalism?

Asking for a friend.

No...far right wing conspiracy websites are the best sources of all the news that fits your views. Everything else is "fake news" . I find it kind of scary that one man can create so much distrust of media among so many. Frightening.

NYT was a solid news source for all pro Trump coverage.

Hope you and others like you weren't lead by the nose in a nonstop media campaign regarding everything or anything Trump.
What, 5-6 years of constant DNC/MSM attacks, how many were true?

Look at you, still wigged out by the DNC/MSM propaganda machine.

Which laws were passed to do this? I didn't vote for this. In fact, to be honest, I really hate this because that is what is going to insure that a Republican gets elected in 2022 and 2024. Despite the fact that Republicans do not have the best interest of the middle class in mind with any of their policies. But the BS of wokeness is going to kill the democrats.

100%

The "wokelash" is already gaining momentum. The more oxygen given to the screeching mob, the greater the odds of Republicans winning the midterms. They'll be distracted with think pieces on how to pronounce "Latinx," and the R's will be dismantling democracy. Fun!

I think most media outlets aren't quite sure what to do now that the sugar rush of the Trump admin is gone, so they gotta gin up something.

You need to look in the rearview mirror, KC. One reason Trump was elected was over the dem's decimating the middle class. You do know there is no middle class in Marxist Socialism, don't you? 401's went to hell starting with Obama, somewhat regained under Trump, now it's going the other way.

Wokeness that is going to get Rep's elected is a good thing for the country. The woke is from the left, the same left Pelosi tried to reign in but ended up embracing to keep her power.

Jokes on Yall'

This is indicative of individual portfolio performance?

Most 401K's were in mutual funds, and most mutual funds were in the S&P, Dow and Nasdaq. I showed S&P, but maybe your 401K was in the Dow and Nasgaq. Hmm...those look pretty good too., Could you maybe place on the charts where the 401K's went to hell? Or maybe you should have had a better investment advisor. But that is the power of Donald Trump. He TOLD you that your 401K was "a disaster". I'm not sure where it was though.

Performance is dependent on where one chooses to put his investments. That is why one of the selling points on 401 plans, they do lose but rebound over time. The 'recession' hurt different investment areas, thus hitting certain portfolio's. people did take hits during Obama.

The Recession Hurt Americans' Retirement Accounts More Than Anybody Knew​

Most people think IRAs and 401(k)s have pretty much recovered from deep losses in 2008. They haven’t.

Although the average retirement-account balance increased by about 7 percent, about 45 percent of the workers we studied saw their balances decrease by thousands of dollars between the spring 2009 and the fall of 2011. These losses can be even more troublesome than they initially seem: If someone had $10,000 in 2008 and lost 25 percent of it, they’d need a gain of 33 percent just to stay even. In fact, we found that the average gain was far smaller than what would have been needed to recover from the steep losses in 2008. (Of course, we found that a significant number of people simply continued to lose money even after the biggest recession-induced drops.)

I can post the spin version off of newsmax if it makes you feel better.

KC previously posted what you attempt to present as some type of relevancy. 401k Funds do not totally rely on S&P, among other venues.

These findings expose the folly of analysts who have been promoting a thought experiment that blames innocent investors. Imagine someone invested $1,000 in the S&P 500 in the spring of 2009, they say—by now, they’d have more than made back their 2008 losses. But rational people do not and should not buy more stocks with their retirement funds when their previous investments lost a significant percentage of its value. In fact, Saad-Lessler and I found that those who moved their money towards cash and safer assets between 2009 and 2011 were more likely to have gained a few thousand dollars than those who continued to buy stocks

Let me clear that up for you. My 401k and my wife’s and friends have done similar. If you read the article it’s based on fidelity.
