In the morning update out from a European bank, crypto YouTube views sink to lowest level since 2011.

Won’t someone think of the creators/ grifters?

this is a test now of whether twitter - which is where I would have once gone for this sort of question - has any serious merit left.

Can someone with more knowledge than me explain to me - or lead me to a source which explains - why the Muslim Brotherhood is a source of violence in the Middle East but the political arm in Morocco (Justice and Development Party) oversaw a peace treaty and normalisation of relationship with Israel?

I always pictured you as a singing construction worker. Always cheerful and optimistic.

I have a camcorder recording, originally obtained by bribes, of my then three year old saying that he likes big fat wet sloppy kisses from girls.

I stored it for this occasion. And I never used it.

I regret never using it.

The 100 plus billion is the right market cap. The price to sales about twenty and the margin well over 50 percent.

Growth rate is high too, but duh.

Price to sales is 2.94 if you use 14 percent margin

You need to work out the minority

Margin much higher.

I bought a 7 percent position in 2013 and have held a full position ever since.

I have alas trimmed it many times.

Historical Fact: Between March 1946 and August 1947, our airport was used for housing prisoners of war. This taught us everything we know about handling passengers today. #CustomerService

The most important achievement of the right in the C21st has been the invention of an all-powerful "establishment" that does not include the editor of the Sunday Telegraph, the world's richest media moguls, the party that was in govt for 14 years, Boris Johnson or the billionaire president of the US

Deported is not the right word. You don't "deport" a citizen.

They were trafficked.

Charge the people who did this with kidnapping and child trafficking.

The people who deported her should be jailed.

And the people who gave orders should be too.
