The people that benefit most at the markets being at record highs are the same people in the Epstein files so…
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

You need to use your local library more. If it absolutely needs to get done and you have literal cents to spare to make it happen, a librarian is like your personal assassin. Libraries have saved my ass so many times, in so many ways.

Ditto this for luge. I hate to hand it to NBC Universal but goddamn they put on a good show for these things.
the following drone shot that NBC has for the downhill skiing feels like a paradigm shift in covering the sport. it really changes and lets people see just how fast they're going and how much these guys are just on the razor's edge of complete disaster at all time
