Then it doesn't "rule them all" for anyone who needs a terminal, does it?

r-w··on US Government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
It might be if all you're seeking is large-cap stocks with lots of volatility you can leverage that are here to stay for the long haul. Also, the market doesn't seem to believe that Trump will be in power forever.

r-w··on Can we have the day off?

r-w··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
Alternate take: Consider strategically avoiding exporting your anti-immigration views for visibility here in the US. That way an intelligent administration can take hold that doesn't cause further havoc in the Middle East and accelerate the rate of emigration from there. Deal?

It's so weird to see empathy-speak be regularly co-opted by habitual mass manipulators. "I don't know if this will make you feel better... but we're concerned with manipulating the reactions to the reactions as well! See how much we care?"
