Yes. There's a 30 day waiting period for the IPO allocated retail investor to be able to sell it without being penalized by Robinhood.

Supposedly, they say they'll usually block an account from future IPOs for violating their restriction.

I haven't broken the rule on my two prior IPOs; so, I can't say how serious they are about it - because of their use of the word "usually".

Pedantic Nitpick:
Sub(scription)Stack

It's a linguistic phenomenon known as Semantic Rebracketing or Prefix Paralysis.

The prefix can coincidentally have an unrelated negative interpretation - or sometimes be humorous in other words.

This seems to happen often in words starting with: over, under, mis, dis, in or out.

Yeah. It worked. It was way better than wading through 15 or 20 navigational links and dodgy adverts, first through Google and then Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB - only to end up reading some pompous reviewer whine negatively about how much he hated it, violated his political religion, etc. or worse, explain the story was the greatest work of art since the beginning of time.

@Phranklinton1 That last scene reminded me of how I occasionally feel hearing something sounding not-right coming from the talking heads or some politicians in legacy media.

@Victoria00025 Well... You know what they say ... It takes one to know one.

Shouldn't you and your congressional ilk be spending your time working with the people you represent in your district?

Instead of figuratively galavanting all over the country like some celebrity, as if your're in charge of everything and everyone, stick to the people's problems in your own district in the Michigan Wayne county area.

@mazemoore She wants us to think when she asked Pelosi if what Trump said was true - it was a fact check.

She tells us Pelosi told her "no" and ends it as if she just did a mic-drop.

@DefiantLs The carpetbaggers from the post civil war era have returned - this time, they're from other countries instead of the northern states.

@Babsphemii The comment section is an orchestrated marketing thread. 💩

It's our America - Trump's just the temporary CEO of the federal government's executive branch.

Get over yourself.

A lot of us didn't fall for the peer pressure to join the self appointed cool-kids-clique empowered by the schoolyard bathrooms and they aren't going to fall for it in the real world now

These are boomer coots, clueless about being someone's useful idiot, meeting up for a friendly Mall Walker event - while badly cosplaying as a protester.

Most had parents that allowed them to be well off enough in their youth to avoid the Vietnam draft. They're relieving their college party protesting days.

No women or children. Just a lot of well fed, decently dressed, adult males with a lot of energy to use tools while they hang around for days in large packs.

Where do they get the time, the wherewithal, to be this organised? Wouldn't most of them require having some source of income?

I took your question seriously and went down a rabbit hole.

The Sopranos wasn't written by a single person. Series creator David Chase served as head writer and showrunner, conceiving all the storylines and story arcs. He delegated individual episode scripting to a carefully selected writers' room.

While Chase wrote the majority of the episodes, a team of writers and a few actors penned the rest of the series.

David Chase: Authored or co-authored 30 episodes, including the pilot and the series finale.

Core Staff Writers: The most prominent included Terence Winter (25 episodes), Robin Green & Mitchell Burgess (22 episodes) and Matthew Weiner (12 episodes).

Michael Imperioli: The only main cast member (playing Christopher Moltisanti) to write for the show. (5 episodes)

Other Writer Staff: Frank Renzulli, Mitchell Burgess, Todd A. Kessler, and Diane Frolov.

It turned out all of them seem good at it.

@Angelin2295 @elonmusk It's an image of the police (blue gloves) putting handcuffs on an 18 year old while he was bleeding to death - done by a Muslim stabbing him for being racist.

Exactly. People should realize, if they were unaware of it, that's how the word "Police" originated; it was derived from the pronunciation of the word "Policy".

They're not meant to be your bodyguard, regardless of what their unions' and lobbies' propaganda push to promote their political power.

The employees of Police departments only obligation is to enforce government policies.

(In the US, the Supreme Court has upheld this on 5 different occasion in the last 60 years.)
