@Stormblessed545 @arthur_affect @KobalDeux Just a few, maybe.

@Stormblessed545 @arthur_affect @KobalDeux I’m not sure I’ve seen Weimar hyperinflation described as “markets get jumpy” before.

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@arthur_affect @aaiqbal It’s also one of the most stable ways of providing municipal funding. You don’t suddenly want to be unable to pay teachers or trash pickup when the economy takes a slight hit. The federal government can raise funds easily. Your local municipality? Probably not so much.

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@Stormblessed545 @BootlegGirl Technically 3! Or two-and-half; since they determined you can get two plus then "corrections."

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@arthur_affect Be careful. I hear if you subtweet Ben Shapiro three times, he writes a hit piece on Breitbart saying you’re the problem.

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@arthur_affect Killjoy.

@arthur_affect Even from a non-cancel culture perspective of just “actions have consequences”, landlady may be justified in wanting to avoid legal liability. Your tenant has a tendency to leave dangerous substances around that could get someone hurt and you sued? Totally reasonable.

@BootlegGirl They should have got Patrick Stewart to play Gurney Halleck.

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@ScottMendelson Samuel Jackson didn’t even play the same character as from Jackie Brown.

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@AndrewPlewe @JuddApatow Considering she started doing movies at 10, maybe.

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@BootlegGirl I figured what you meant. Hard to believe that the prequels could alienate Finn fans, what with, y’know, time and chronology being a thing.

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@ChristophSouza @BootlegGirl That’s just quality writing

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@Stormblessed545 @BootlegGirl The rise of American fascism which time?

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@arthur_affect @johnlk_80 Like, not only was there the Shazam/Superman fight, and the Captain Marvel/Shazam fight, but then a whole weird offshoot in the UK that got crazy involving Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman in the modern era. People have fought over that name for as long as comics have been around.

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@arthur_affect @johnlk_80 The legal history comic characters named Marvel is really weird

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@BootlegGirl There's a lot of hyperbole around the markets the past few weeks, but they actually haven't been terribly volatile.

Yet.

[Merrick Green @MerrickGreenVM]

@BootlegGirl Having both stocks and bonds go down at the same time usually means that interest rates are going up and stocks are going down, which isn't a terribly unusual combo (and, in fact, the interest hike rate can cause the stock drop).
