And a call option is a stock market trade to take advantage of good news for the business.

Biden did this in March, too... and TSLA stock shot up.

Don't really care who makes them as long as projects being screwed over by the Koch-backed complaint tying up the Commerce Department can go forward.

I’m sure it will be all over the news … not

But the high gas prices/inflation stories will be there, yeh?

Maybe Joe should do a signing ceremony like Pisswig would do with EOs, flashing his markie sig on a Chucky Cheese puzzle he’d completed at lunch that would be on every newscast


But seriously good news .. if I had coin leftover to rub together I’d invest in solar … bc petrol isn’t coming down, and won’t last forever anyway … the sun 🌞 on the other hand
