I think you can buy some canes hand made in the hills of TN at Cracker Barrel.

Yes. The NYSE stockholders are getting out while the getting is good. All effective trading these days is by algorhythms with uncontrolled flash events challenging the term “effective”.

Some time ago when Goldman discovered its trading algorhythms had been removed to London and Germany by a former employee, they halted trading on the NYSE for a week...trading volumes on that exchange were reduced by just under 50%!! Goldman is leaving the US for Singapore as announced recently. WHere will Ob go??..the UN?

ICE houses the financial nidus for the climate change movement, having bought out the Chicago climate exhange interests to revive them apparently in Europe, in spite of the climate fraud exposure evidenced there, with current recalcitrance to harness whole financially failing economies and banks to climate political issues for the moment.

There is NO legitimate financial market for a mainstreet citizen to have confidence in, and his/her financial life is now “protected” by a Fed Reserve housed and funded CFPB for monitoring, control, and compliance at a micro-level (every single little transaction) in their lives. “Protection” is questionable. All put together, current events are anything but encouraging.

Zippo lighters, the old-fashioned lighter fluid ones. You can find them all over the world (and they’re status symbols in many countries).

The Germans, or at least Volkswagen AG, have a word for the joy of driving, “fahrvergnugen.

And I thought it was a long way to drive for a cookie...

The NYSE board voted only hours ago, how can this be a ho-hum ?!?

Easily. It’s been known for years that NYSE would be sold. The only question ever was “To whom?”

Hmmm........

If we could sell all 7,000,000,000 on Earth a Zippo lighter for $10, and also a bottle (medium size) for $3...

Nope. Still not enough.

I wonder what is going to happen when every piece of American property; real, personal and things in action are sold off?

We are witnessing democracy in action. The democracy has declared a national liquidation of all property for purposes of raising cash.

“Boeing”
No. They just assemble japanese and italian parts. I would not call a boeing a “american made product”.
