Gina Carano made a dumb Holocaust analogy (a national pass time these days) but calling it anti-Semitic reeks of the same annoying edginess that inspires dumb Holocaust comparisons to begin with. Stop reaching for the worst thing you can think of to bolster your arguments.

Just to prove my econ ignorance: I don't get why you can buy put options for stock you don't own. As a defensive hedge for your assets it makes sense, but as a pure gamble on a future price it feels very "stocks for stocks sake." I'm sure there's some obvious answer to this.
See this is my problem - I'm going to have to learn about econ now just to come back around to understanding this one thing. Thanks a lot, GameStop.
I'm getting very irritated at the "I don't get this GameStop thing" trend.
It's not complicated and has been explained 75,000 times in the space of less than a Tweet. Waste a literal minute of your day learning something.
PEOPLE BET ON A STOCK TO GO DOWN. OTHER PEOPLE DELIBERATELY BOUGHT THAT STOCK SO IT WOULD GO UP. FIRST GROUP LOST MONEY. SECOND GROUP MADE MONEY. Sheesh.
Obviously there's more to it than that but this is enough info for you to not have to broadcast that you don't know what it is.
