Crazy times

         Even with the internet and  the 24 hour news cycle it's undeniable we live in a crazy time, although the aforementioned facilitators amplify the insanity.

        The Gamestop pump and dump scheme played out in public and in real time.  It basically let the public know that for all the financial markets' utility in the capitalist world, they can occasionally be turned into a glorified casino where the chumps can be separated from their money, sometimes in spectacular fashion.  The original take was this was a band of Davids taking on the Goliath hedge funds.  In the end, it turned out the Goliaths probably infiltrated and duped the Davids.

      Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene made a half assed apology to her fellow members of the House.  She admitted 9/11 took place, but on the other hand didn't show any contrition for harassing students who survived the Parkland school shooting, nor did she apologize for liking a post on facebook calling for a bullet to the head of Nancy Pelosi.   She also didn't mention her assurance to fellow Q devotees that the hanging of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was being planned.   Even though she was stripped of her committee assignments by Democrats and some Republicans, she will remain a cancer in the House until the next election.   

    Who knows what will come out in the late Friday news dump.   Stay tuned and be ready.
