A day will come when crypto will fall before the feet of one hacker or a massive EMP. The shit has less real-world tangibility than that ugly monkey image that Biebert bought.
So, today I closed the lit on my MacBook Pro, walked to another room, opened it up, and the screen was fucked. Huh? So not only did it totally fuck my work day, and an important Zoom call, I got at appointment at the Apple Store at the Grove in Los Angeles, and let me tell you, the Grove is my Kryptonite. I fucking HATE that place. And there's this huge ridiculous Apple store there. It used to be a two story Crate and Barrel, which was great, and then Apple took over the lease, tore out the second floor, and created a one-story store with two-story ceilings, and a massive two-story glass door that slides open, releasing all of the air conditioning into the stratosphere. The store is a parody of itself.
Anyway, I arrive already pissed off, then there's a DJ blasting music in the store, then they're late for my appointment. The tech looks at my computer for 15 seconds and says that'll be $848 to replace the screen.
Also, how fitting is it that “former NBA star Lamar Odom, who used the occasion to praise Trump as ‘the greatest president’” has his own *token* (SO. MUCH. PHRASING.) named “$ODOM”, since anybody who buys into that con is definitely getting it in the “A$$”.
$ODOM! I mean, if the writers of VEEP had written that as a character's name, the audience would have been like "oh, that's a bit on-the-nose. Maybe this show has jumped the shark."
What a lovely, honest, and forthright opportunity for grifters, scammers, thieves, usurers, and currency launderers to get together, let their collective hair down, and share various industry secrets over drinks and hors d'oeuvre. 🙄
So many presidents are spinning in their graves in outrage...with Nixon and Agnew spinning at near-relativistic speeds in furious envy
P
Chinese investors? Well, well, well...
Well this makes dinner not sit so well, but honestly, when Donald Trump is the subject of discussion, that goes without saying.
How’s that swamp now republicans?
If Biden was doing this stuff, they would carry him out of the White House in a straightjacket.
Trump's meeting with the South African president should remove all doubt.
Trump...the greatest whore of all.
Trump is losing it, dementia, Alzheimer's? His meeting with the South African President should erase any doubt.

I came out of my shoes.
The word "STRUMP" longs for an "ET".
I thought the whole cryptoboi dinner thing would make a great setup for a Knives Out/Benoit Blanc mystery.
Oh, trademark that concept. With the right director, writers, and actors, that would be a very satisfying film.
So we can all agree these greedy assholes can be called strumpets now, right?

So ... what if Harvard buys some large amount of $TRUMP for every Chinese graduate student they admit?
"Mister President, it's Garber from Harvard on Line 1."
“…build the crypto industry…”
“industry /ĭn′də-strē/ - noun
The sector of an economy made up of manufacturing enterprises.”
WHAT THE FUCK DOES CRYPTO MANUFACTURE?!?!?
False hope, greed, and lies -- all essential elements of a Modern Economy!!
