The Wall Street Journal just called Elmos Twitter takeover as the worst bank buyout single the financial crisis. That's good right?

It's been a complete trash fire with all the anonymous "verified" accounts, reply guys, and bots Xitting about the DNC this week, or spamming threads about the DNC with links to t-shirt sites, porn, etc. Even Blue Blocker isn't of much help.

I actually think it's about time the DOJ steps in on the gas station mergers.

Yeah, if Speedway and Circle K merge like 75+% of the gas stations in Alaska will be owned by one company. This is on the heels of the Safeway and Kroger merger which would leave us with one company owning nearly every grocery store.

This is the biggest issue. There are de facto monopolies created by regional gas stations getting gobbled up. A statewide monopoly needs to be prevented just as much as national.

In Maine close to 100% of the gas diesel fuel oil comes from one refiner , Irving oil. It might be sold as Shell or Citgo but it all comes from Irving

US economy holds its breath as it's about to find out how tied to Canada it truly is: Canadian National and Canadian Pacific/Kansas City lock out union after negotiations broke down.

CP owns one of the major lines in and out of Maine. They also bring crude into Irvings refinery in St John NB. Might be an issue for us Mainers as all(most) of our refined petroleum comes from St John
 
I saw a cybertruck in the wild! Looked brand new. I kept well clear since obviously the driver was an imbecile.
 
The Tim Walz Economic Recovery continues as the Dow basically erases the loses from a couple of weeks ago. Over 41k today...

Nasdaq is down today but higher than it was before the guaranteed recession same with the S&P.

My 401k thanks the Dems :)

The stock price of Truth Social/Trump Media has dropped to all-time lows, closing today at $21.69, a third what it was after going public 4 months ago. Funny and (because he must hate it so) gratifying it’s such a proxy for his odds of victory—stocked peaked 7/15, Biden withdrew 7/21, stock has tanked ever since.

One of the only stocks that is struggling right now...must be because they anticipate Trump winning.
 
Trump's stock continues to free fall...down below $20 now. ($19.53 as of a minute ago)

Most markets down in part because everyone is worried about Nvidia's earnings call.
 
Gee, economy growing at a 3% annual rate, fewer people seeking jobs, gas prices falling, you'd wonder why so many are pizzing and moaning about the economy.

Oh wait, that's their job, to get their cult leader elected.
