Put it in to your truth decoder... Always the opposite. Something more like: we're losing 350 billion due to lack of free trade.

I think Steve Grasso on @CNBC might be an idiot... Also probably a Trump voter.

Anyone feel similar?

He's referring to his book that came out September 30th. NVDA is up like 10%+ since then.

Maybe come up with a new schtick?

We can agree on those points.

Fwiw: I find it offensive to abstain from critical thought as an adult on life's big issues.

That's not the power of prayer. The power of prayer is to comfort the person praying so that they think they did something while doing nothing.

Let's encourage things like donations and continuing to attempt to thwart the climate crisis (a very uphill battle right now).
