I do actually maintain a private twitter account to follow a few accounts on there, I logged on for the first time in a while and was shocked at how short and sort of lame all the posts from the big RW accounts on there were. Just posting meme images, weird one sentence replies that at best sound low brow and at worst just sound dumb. There was only one joke I saw that I actually chuckled at.

They remind me of me at this point, though they all at least pretend to care whereas I just openly do not give a shit anymore. Is this just them getting addicted to the whole "pay per post" thing?

‘Northumberland 2’ Free on Bail After Alleged Mink Release

I'm more than a little concerned that the recent election is going to pull a lot more people into investing in cryptocurrency -- most of whom probably are nowhere near as savvy as they need to be to avoid getting fleeced by scammers. I hear constantly from people who poured their savings or kids' college fund into crypto, only to see it all stolen when they clicked the wrong button or link.

You know what the typical answer is from the feds? We're drowning here. Just too many cases. These thefts are often $500K or more, and the frequency of them is rapidly increasing the monetary loss thresholds that would normally get law enforcement's attention.

Also, tons of people are now pouring money into the market, which is already vastly overpriced by almost any measure. Here are some sage words from a WSJ story today about how "investors are betting on a market melt-up:"

"One measure closely tracked by investors, the equity risk premium—or the gap between the S&P 500’s earnings yield and that of 10-year Treasurys—shrank close to zero, the lowest level since 2002, according to Dow Jones Market Data. That means the reward for owning stocks over bonds is dwindling."

“The market is awfully expensive to have a melt-up,” said Rob Arnott, the founder and chairman of Research Affiliates."

Never acquired a taste for store carrots. In fact, I don't care for any store fruit or produce. Home grown is far superior.
