This is like the perfect distillation of capitalism in such a myriad of ways. Always will be the mental image that comes up first when someone mentions "9/11" too. They wanted to make it some version of Iwo Jima with a US flag at Ground Zero, but in my brain, it'll always be this.
I play with stocks the same way my grandmother would play poker with pennies. I just write down pretend numbers without spending any money, just to see how good my guesses are. Pretty good, it turns out. That lets me scratch the itch without funding evil shit, and I can still afford groceries.
Ah, the high-school Economics class method. I see.
I was like "eh, it's only $5-20, putting in for 2 stocks won't set me back if it craters, why not?" But RobinHood was like "we need your SSN and Drivers license to verify your account with the bank/start investing" and I'm like "...nah..."

Yes, $GME is still alive, but it's a losing company. Digital Distrobution hasn't gone away, even Nintendo is starting to embrace it. Being +23% isn't going to last forever.
Brother just you wait until May 6th and 7th for the new economic data presented at the Federal Reserve meetings, that will be the official recession indicator.
In all seriousness, this is the time to be in the market.
The market I'm specifically talking about is China. A stable company with a reliable government and a promising future. The time is now. You don't want to be too late. Get in before you're left behind.
the weird thing is the markets aren't down nearly as much as they should be. people don't actually believe what trump says even when he follows through
but moreover , everyone and their mother knew the market was a bubble and anticipated a recession at some point
it really was the perfect response to put trump in office let him do something crazy that deflates the bubble but that, thanks to who he is as a notorious liar, no one actually believes so that things don't go into #bugout mode
