I'm not an investor per say in stocks, but I do swing and day trade. I bought Comcast on Friday and sold before close, On Monday I shorted the same stock and sold before closing. I have a margin account so I can trade every day but normally I only have about 6 good trades a month. I bought 4,000 shares on Friday and shorted 4500 shares on Monday. For some reason I had a hard time getting the stock to short but eventually I did. Not sure why. But not bad for two days of work.

Neanderthals carb loaded, helping grow their big brains
by Disillusioned JW insee https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/05/neanderthals-carb-loaded-helping-grow-their-big-brains .
the article says in part 'the study is “groundbreaking,” says harvard university evolutionary biologist rachel carmody, who was not part of the research.
the work suggests the ancestors of both humans and neanderthals were cooking lots of starchy foods at least 600,000 years ago.

Scientists make findings and then interpret them for us, we have to be prepared for new knowledge to change those Scientist's views.
Like Covid, Masks, Locking down the world economy and Social distancing.

Do local JWs want in-person meetings back in your congregation?
by JWTom ini realize many here think that in-person meetings will return as soon as things are safe with covid.
but many acknowledge it will likely be 2022 or later when this happens.. surprisingly, many pimi jws in our congregation are not shy about saying they are fine with zoom meetings forever and do not want to go back to in-person meetings.
many speculate similar thoughts that are on this site....such as a combination of in-person and zoom meetings.

Kingdom Halls will probably reopen soon since things are starting to turn somewhat back to normal now that much of the USA population has received a Covid-19 vaccination.

Well let's see!
There hasn't been door to door preaching for over a year
All kingdom halls have been shut for over a year
There hasn't been a convention for over a year
They aren't printing and books like they used to every year
They sent hundreds Bethelites home
Got rid of DOs
Pioneers don't have to do the required hrs.
Practicably all the young jws are leaving once they turn 18
They are selling tons of Kingdom halls every year-so they aren't expecting a Great Crowd to come in
And the child sex abuse continues
What was the question? Oh that right, "Have they stopped printing the Awake Magazine

The vast majority of the homeless ones I see living 'on the street' (many in tents) are men and I wonder why that is the case.
This guy explains how the divorce laws have tilted to favor the women. At least in the USA
Read the comments to get an idea what young American men are feeling about marriage.
Example;
A wise man once said, “love is grand, but divorce is a 100 grand” ..
Not getting married in your 20's and 30's is like missing out on buying the last ticket for the Titanic.
The wedding ring is the world’s smallest handcuff
Behind every successful man is a woman that was waiting at the finish lineNever sign a contract with someone who benefits from breaking it.
People tell me “you wanna die alone?” My reply “well I’m not trying to take anyone with me”
"They say marriage is an institution. So is Alcatraz. You can't compare marriage to prison. Yeah, you're right. The warden doesn't max out your credit card."d every billionaire there's a woman wanting to make him a millionaire !
When I was a young man I got ribbed relentlessly by my married friends for not joining the club. None of them are married today but in my case, I didn't lose half my wealth or a family business to be single. -

Yes If someone could explain what possible advantage a government would have for instigating all this.
Studying how America handled the Covid virus tells us a lot about Government. America is comprised of 50 individual Sovereign States. Each with its own State Legislature. Under the terms of Article V of the U.S. Constitution, State lawmakers retain the power to ratify Constitutional amendments which have been proposed by both houses of Congress. Which include lockdown laws.
Each State can also form their own laws that differ from the other States. A good example of this is Gun law. In some States like New York, California, Chicago, it’s almost impossible for a citizen to have a carry permit for a Gun. In other States like Texas, Florida, Arizona, it easy for a citizen to have a carry permit and own a Gun.
Each State has their own Governor that acts sort of like the President of the USA.
If a person with a legal carry permit in Texas drives to New York where it is illegal to have a carry permit, that person can go to prison for a long time, because the Governor in New York is like a dictator whereas the Governor in Texas is not, and both States haves their own Sovereignty with their different set of laws.
When Covid appeared in 2020, the World went crazy. Reason being is that all the medical experts were contradicting each other. Some were saying this and others were saying that about the virus. In other words—they were being “Human” which basically means---they know very little----including the experts-------but act like they know everything.--------Sort of like the Governing Body of jws.
Government Knows even less. So each Government of each State had to calculate and reason which expert sounded like he knew what he was talking about and apply that idea to his own Personal State that he governed.
Some State Governors studied the case and Others Governors didn’t study the case and choose to go by their instincts.
Some Governors like Governor Cuomo of New York felt like the best thing to do was lock up all the elderly together in nursing homes. Surprise thousands of elderly died.
Governor Gavin Newson of California decided to go to extremes and lock down everything and made sure anyone, including one lone surfer miles out in the sea, and by himself be arrested for breaking his laws on lock down. Governor Newson and his family were exempted of course from any lock down.
What you said is actually happening in many Democratic States. Many of these State Governments are being recalled and replaced with other Government
usually, with one accord decide to place fear in the hearts of their populace, drive apart families, close businesses and cause a financial downturn which will likely ensure they themselves are voted OUT in the next election.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PNGy0-UREs
On the other hand there were many States that decided not to go to extremes in locking down the State. Instead they decided to open up the economy, and warn the elderly and those with medical condition that they were at risk and needed to isolate themselves from everyone and make arrangements for food and other necessities.
One Governor that did this was in Florida and his State is prospering to the extreme. He has even filed several lawsuits against the Federal Government for certain lockdowns.
So the lock down and fear by some Governors is because they are ignorant, or stupid, or power hungry, or just plain crazy and like to see people suffer.
Other States were fortunate to have a Governor that choose no lock downs. Some of those States had less deaths than those who did lock down the entire State.
Others had the same death as those who did lock down their entire State but their economy didn’t crash.
Here is the thing I learned. Don’t live in a State where your Governor is stupid, ignorant, power hungry, or just plain crazy, because it could cost you-your life or your livelihood.
So all these lock downs were not planned, but some individuals are using it as an opportunity to enrich themselves and want to continue the lock-down.
Example; I have a store that sell groceries and other needed household items, you and a thousand others have as brick and mortar store that sell groceries too. The Governor is my brother or close friend. I tell my brother that if he locks down all the one thousand stores for a year or three, then all the customers that bought groceries from those stores have no choice now but to buy at my store, and my profits will ZOOM!!!!
I promise my brother 40% of the profits if he keeps the lock down for as long as possible resulting in both of us becoming RICH when the hysteria is over. In other words----keep pushing the fear to the masses.
What incentive do you see here for the lock-down and certain stores that continue to remain open.
(Walmart, Amazon, etc.)
And who keeps the thousands of homes that have defaulted because both husband and wife lost their jobs because of the lock down.(Banks)
And who made around 26 billion in profits in 2020 because of covid. (You know the vaccines were not free)
NOW APPLY THIS WORLD WIDE TO EACH GOVERNMENT IN EACH COUNTRY.

how many JWs are secretly fearful (or even convinced) that they won't be deemed worthy enough to be there?
I remember hearing the speaker at either the Convention or Kingdom hall use this scripture.
(Zephaniah 2:2, 3) All you who are not proud, come to the Lord.
You who obey his laws, come to him.
Do what is right. Learn to be humble.
MAYBE---- you will escape
on the day the Lord shows his anger.WHAT THE THELL---MAYBE!!
