I was thinking the same thing, I don't know why there is so much disdain for $GME among all the experts.

But there is a global pandemic still waging, millions are unemployed, and now riots are raging across the US, and some places like Minneapolis City are voting to disband the police, calling for an end to law and order. It's pandemonium! Should this unprecedented time lead to much uncertainty and volatility? I would think people would flock to safe havens like gold.

I've been baffled at how the US is in utter chaos and yet the stock market is hitting new highs. What can possibly explain it?

I know religious can be quite positive. It can offer hope and encourage people to stay honest (assuming they believe God sees all). But I still believe it is the root of most if not all wars.

In fact an argument can be made that Nazi fascism and communism were a war against religion in that they targeted Jews and viewed those whom held God as the ultimate authority to be a threat to their own authority.

The problem with religion is that it's leaders are human and as easily susceptible to corruption, greed, vice, pride and many other human failings. Far too many injustices in the world are committed using religion as an excuse. Virtually every war has religion as a root cause. Sure, in ideal world, religion can be beautiful and helpful, but in reality, it is anything but.

You really think shale oil production is ending?

Good read. After seeing "Blood Diamond," I swore I'd never buy a diamond - it's too difficult to know where diamonds truly originated from and who suffered as a result. Unfortunately my finance did not agree with that outlook and required a diamond ring to complete the marriage contract. De Beers has brainwashed generations of women!

Interesting, thanks.
