Oats invoice dutifully responding, just casually having what I think was its biggest its biggest ever one day sell off and then unwinding it entirely. I’m beginning to doubt these markets are efficient.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Michigan sent out all their driver’s license renewals with a small photo of a random smiling man in the corner… Oh and an expiration date in 2067
Had to renew my license this year, went to a kiosk to do it, so they couldn't update my picture, but I have questions...
Why is there another persons picture in the lower right corner? And what is up with 1/12/67, other than it being the future day before what would be my brothers 100th birthday?Who TF is this man on my license?!
I'm going to try to go to Canada, and they're going to lock my ass up!GOT THE SAME GUY ON MY NEW ENHANCED ID THAT CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY TOO! And the back is messed up because it says first name, middle name, last name...Michigan SOS messed up cause who tf is this on my license ?

How corrupt is the Trump corruption? More corrupt even than has been reported. King Cambo has done the research which, it appears, no one else has done. He is one whistle stop short of alleging illegal insider trading. I'm already at the next station. kingcambo812.substack.com/p/trump-trad...

Someone asked me what single event do I think is most likely to induce a stock market correction. I had to think about it for a bit. If we do have a correction, my guess is the most likely cause will have been a hiccup in the fixed income capital markets.
