Being facetious, but with the latest news indicating Space X has such a retail demand, I wonder what the payoff might be of shorting the stock at the close on the opening day? This is not financial advice :0)

Speaking with farmers and ranchers that are/have been members of my congregation reveals a concern that the family farms/operations will experience more bankruptcies. Expenses continue rising while weather predictions are not favorable.

In nearly all disciplines, focusing on one's strengths rather than placing energy and effort into one's weaknesses is a significantly better approach. The only exception is when the weakness is a fatal flaw.
The announced investigation into Smith College for admissions of trans folk is a continuation of dehumanization. It lacks compassion and goes against the biblical command "For God so loved.....(no exclusions). I'd suggest if one feels uncomfortable, it says more about them.
For those of us that have only base line taste buds, how food tastes is more dependent upon how hungry we are or how much comfort we need at any given time.
I've come across too many people, on both sides of the aisle, who are not aware that lawsuits ending with monetary damages against the "administration" are paid by taxpayers, as are the costs associated therein.
I reside in fairly liberal state (MA). Thus, this may not be an omen for MA but if other likeminded people are thinking this way, it could be...."My conservative congregational members say they cannot vote for a Democrat, but they can choose not to vote."
