but came to the conclusion I wasn't good at it, so walked away. Problem is, of course, you can't dabble and expect to make any money.

Now, it's a spectator sport for me.

No company can make an accurate forecast right now. Even those that are benefiting from the panic buying can't forecast.

Money is coming out. There is no way to stop it.

No matter how often they have a good day, the bad days will be worse--down 10%, up 9%, down 13%, up 5% (that is the past four days). Don't watch unless you are a rollercoaster fan.

That shit needs to end, it's just slavery 2.0 for most, and fools still floating $15 an hour, which is also way too low with inflation, you're still poor AF in most parts of the country after paying taxes and expenses.

That and the $15 they propose is a gradual increase, it's ridiculous, if you can't make enough to pay people fairly, then you shouldn't be a business at all!?!

A better minimum wage would be more like $25/hr.

...and don't get me started on Healthcare, what a fucking sty.
