Maybe it was Barron's first time trading, and he just got lucky, you know?

The company knows just who that somebody is and I'm pretty sure a government that gave a shit would have no trouble prying that information loose.

And we are forced to sit helplessly in the bleachers.

Congress - do something! 25th Amendment would be a start.

Millions of stolen Africans were considered property and millions of indigenous people were murdered for land and resources.
Man to man is so unjust.

I'm starting to feel that SCOTUS decision that legalized online betting may have been a mistake.

That was back in the 80’s. I guess that since Barron doesn’t work with investments they don’t watch what he’s doing or they’re falling down in the job. Trump probably put some corrupt dumbass in charge. They usually know who made a transaction.

was given free access to the hen-house for some bribes, kickbacks, and a tax dollars. Legalized gambling ruins lives, families' lives, and makes very few people wealthy, and the wealthy people are those who run the online sports books and casinos, not the people betting.

There's no putting that toothpaste back in the tube, either. Excuse my mixed metaphors. 😉
