I’m reminded of the scene in Airplane when the goofball unplugs the runway lights.... “Just kidding.”

[RummyChick]

It boggles my mind how much money was made and lost running those stops?
I wonder if the trades will get busted

Just an admonition to the media, the ‘powers that be’ and the White House, “when you mess with the truth, you open yourself up to unintended consequences.

BTW, if you have your money in a mechanism that is so volatile and so fickle as to be instantly and significantly affected by something such as this, a prudent person would re-evaluate their position and where they have their assets....

Just sayin’
