  • Yup. People hate when it’s the easy answer but there’s no huge conspiracy. Traditional economists were terrified about the potential shift at the fed and Trump picked an establishment guy. The dollar got stronger, while crypto, gold, and silver crashed.

    The other part here is that crypto had a decent bump when Trump won, but before he took office. Investors were excited about him as a pro-crypto president
















  • In my life, I’ve held an array of jobs. Sometimes I’d just be off randomly on a Friday (because I’d have to work all weekend).

    Some people in this economy are struggling to find full time/permanent jobs, so they can spare time to protest.

    Speaking from my current situation, I have a bank of time I could pull from if I wanted to take time off. Many people can easily fake saying they are sick to get time off on short notice. Some people probably have cool bosses who will let them request vacation at the last minute. There’s a million possible scenarios.




  • Which Lawrence of Arabia version from the 40s or 50s (your words) are you referring to?

    If you mean the famous 60s film…. Yes, it has a minute of credits and another 4 or 5 for the overture. Not credits.

    Again, still looking for examples of extended credit sequences. Overtures are basically the same as intermissions. That’s a totally different beast.

    Even if you want to lump them together, we’re still at the “one or two” I mentioned. Huge Hollywood blockbusters. Exceedingly rare.
