The number of sea shanties being sung about GameStop is a larger positive integer than I would have expected in 2019 reddit.com/r/wallstreetbe…

The GameStop frenzy feels like a cultural seed crystal for something Gamergate-like, although far less toxic so far than that was. But the deep emotional roots of childhood video games combine with young adults confronting 2021 elite failure in what are clearly fascinating ways.
Anyway, shed a tear for the degenerates on WallStreetBets who just wanted to gamble away their mortgages trading stock options in peace, and instead found their forum taken over by a nascent religious cult eight million strong
More generally, the fact that civilians are now trading options (a tail that can very easily wag the dog when volatility gets high) is going to blow everything up soon. Probably the only safe investment is ten-year Pinboard subscriptions.
