New York Times hasn't reported much about this, if at all. But someone should.

TLDR: #Google/Alphabet really depends on its domestic spying work for revenue. Who knows? They may even have invented the #Pegasus spying app. All I can say is it's compatible with #Android products!

[2/2] A little article in the @thebaffler.com clued me into this particular problem. It was written quite some time ago, by Steve Albini. It quoted #CourtneyLove.

Tom Frank was the editor of the publication back then.

[1/2] - Smart people everywhere: beware of placing too much trust in bank stocks. However, luckily, there are other stocks to invest in.

For instance, #BIIB (#Biogen) and #Merck (a well-known pharmaceutical company).

But be careful of signing anything that even looks like a "deal memo."

I wrote a book called Southern Cross. It is available through Amazon, at a website known as southerncrossbook.com. One state that I did not visit was Arkansas.

People who love to mansplain and pick out small faults may wonder what I mean when I say that not every bank will get the #FDIC bailout. Hello!

I'm going to talk more about why I have concerns in a different forum soon.

Hoping later this morning. Visit lotusrose.substack.com for the full report.

Believe it or not, I bought Chase [trading symbol: JPM] stock today.

The reason is that I know they're too big to fail.

In other words, they will get the # bailout. I'm not sure that every bank will, in our current economy.

Have concerns that may impact professional traders. Probably should not say much more until I speak with a lawyer who has expertise in this area.

Selling some stocks on #Robinhood. One of them, I'm even selling at a loss. It's unfortunate. It's just that right now I'm still locked out of a lot of applications on my work computer. The nearest Apple store is more than an hour away...

It's important to remember that when people vanish mysteriously out of a community, it affects other people. Regardless of the reasons for their departure.

Just took this post live. Fixed a few typos but there may be others. Had a problem due to a vendor’s payment processing and had to visit my local bank as a result. Unfortunately that consumed a window of time I would otherwise have spent proofreading. : (

Sorry, good people but I am officially abandoning this platform. There simply is not enough activity here to make it worthwhile. It's almost as much of a ghost town as "X."

I truly have to say that I have experienced more negativity and internalized #sexism from other #women than from men. #meangirls are still alive and well. That is our problem as #feminists to solve. Spouses should NEVER act as gatekeepers.

As far as #regionalbanks go, my bet for the one most likely to weather the coming storm is #Banner. Then again, I am prejudiced. But it's always a good sign when banks offer non-negligible interest yields to their commercial customers. #finance #stockmarket #stocktrades #investing #trading

Regarding #transphobia and #trans identity, this is one of those areas where it's dangerous to stick your neck out right now.

The religious right has an agenda and it involves targeting trans persons, and using them as scapegoats.

I heard one such conversation in a bookstore. It was chilling.

If you are a professional #stockbroker, you know that America's real vulnerability is #regionalbanks. Some can cover their reserves on a good day. Most cannot.
