Buy Bitcoin instead.
Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.
It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.
I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

The way books influence thought is really interesting. It's hard to untangle life experiences from reading of course, but I was thinking about how I read a lot of dystopian fiction as a child and it left me oddly optimistic. Not sure why.

Carter, who died on Sunday, would prove to be an Oval Office trendsetter. Nearly all the presidents who followed him were captured wearing jeans while in office.
