Seeing NASDAQ, banks, & regulators begin to halt trading over the Reddit WSB $GME stock rally proves that we don't have a free market.

We have a controlled market that is gamed to benefit banks and hedge funds, and if you don't invest the way they tell you to, they'll ruin you.
NASDAQ is basically "fact-checking" the $GME rally.
Wall Street: but what will this do to the hedge funds?!

Me:
I guess these hedge fund operators should've spent less money on avocado toast and put it aside for a down payment on an investment firm.

Well anyway, if they get nice haircuts and make eye contact, they'll get good jobs in no time.

6 things for you to remember on this Holocaust Remembrance Day:

1. Power allows bad people to be monsters. Hitler on a cul-de-sac is a jerk that ends up getting shot for trespassing. Hitler in government sparks a genocide and plunges the world into war, killing 100s of millions. Image
2. A disarmed people are a vulnerable people. The first move any oppressor makes before victimizing his target is to rob them of the ability to fight back.

FUN FACT: Hitler didn't pass gun control. He targeted Jews using gun control laws that were passed by the Weimar Republic. Image
3. The infrastructure they use to oppress others will eventually be used against you.

Many of the concentration camps that were used during the holocaust were built decades prior to hold "enemy civilians" (refugees).

Turns out you can put anyone in a cage once it's built. Image

Biden's order directing DOJ to stop renewing private prison contracts just means they're putting the prisoners in government-run prisons.

No one's being set free. The cage is just being changed.
And it doesn't even apply to the privately-run border camps because those are DHS contracts, even though those were the ones with the biggest problems.

For those who wonder if this somehow reduces lobbying for higher prison populations, three of the biggest lobbying groups in the prison industrial complex are corrections officer unions, prison construction firms, and prison labor contractors.

None of them are affected by this.

In order to not get banned from social media, I'm not going to say what I think is an appropriate punishment for someone who leaks their own children's nude photos on the internet.

They restricted healthcare workers & let your loved ones die.

They robbed you of your livelihood.

They ran up debt in your name & handed trillions to billionaires.

Now they dangle $1400 of your own $ in your face & say you have to get a vaccine that's still in clinical trials.
They don't know if the vaccine slows transmission or not.

They don't know how long immunity will last.

They can't even guarantee that the long-term side effects won't be worse than the effects of COVID itself.

But they'll prod and coerce you to take it, and guess who profits.
Don't take my word for it, look for yourself.

Here's one of the trials being undertaken right now, for a vaccine that's already being mass-distributed.

Time of completion, where they'll be confident to say it's safe and effective: 2 years from now.

In one of Muhammad Ali's last fights, one of the commentators insisted Ali was "saving it for the final rounds".

Then he was "saving it for the last round".

Then "for the last minute."

"for the last 30 seconds."

This is what MAGAs sound like waiting for Trump to be the hero.
If he was going to:

- drain the swamp
- end the wars
- declassify secrets
- lock up the deep state
- release the kraken

He would've already done it.

Instead he's going to leave today with little fanfare, having damaged his party, and leaving his supporters in a lurch.
The reality is, this is what he always does:

- make big promises
- fail
- blame everyone else
- walk away, leaving those who supported him holding the bag

And the architect of every bad policy to come out of DC for the past 50 years is going to replace him.

Trump built that.

Last day of the Donald Trump presidency. Let's see where we're at on those 2016 campaign promises!

1. "I will build a great wall, and Mexico will pay for it!"
Only 80 miles of new wall was built where there was none before. Mexico didn't pay for it... you did.
2. "If I become president, we're all going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' again."
...
3. "I'll eliminate 'Department of Environment Protection' (EPA)"

He did cut the budget, but the EPA is still alive and well. In fact, he felt the EPA was necessary enough to look into his claim of “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once."
No, really.
