Wonder how this will impact accountants. Usually they are looking forward to the pressure relenting as the tax season comes to an end.

I think it's useful to keep things in perspective - life in the United States is changing, and will be significantly altered for the next several months at least. My net worth on paper has fallen 30% this year, but right now there's exceedingly few places for me to spend money, so, there's that.
