Heads up everyone. I just went to check my voter registration. I have voted in every election for years, but suddenly found out that I was no longer registered. Make sure you are registered, especially in red states!

Late 1990s dotcom bubble: Eyeballs are the only thing that matter, not profits. 2000s housing bubble: Loan money to people who can't pay it back. Real estate only goes up in value! 2020s AI bubble: Speed is the only thing that matters. In the end, profits are what matters.
