Wall Street Hedge Funds feel the pitchforks as Reddit-fueled retail traders take revenge. Think about the big GameStop story as the revenge for what those very same Hedge Funds did to Toys R’ Us. Gotta say, it’s fun to see “eat the rich” trending.

For example: “Sen. (name), who signed a letter asking members of Congress to delay certifying Pennsylvania’s electoral votes despite no evidence that would call those results into question, today introduced a bill …”
A thirty-year-old bartender in Montgomery County has tested positive for the UK variant of the coronavirus. That’s one the variants that spreads more easily and more quickly than the original strain.
