I watched last night’s 2022 Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which was shown on HBO (it actually happened back on Nov. 5th). It’s been many years since I’ve watched a program like this all the way through (three hours). Here are some takeaways:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi just announced she’s stepping down as (majority/minority) leader, effective at the end of the current session of Congress. This is a wise decision with profound implications going forward. It’s a game-changer.

Cryptocurrencies are ruining lives. It’s time to call out all the rug pullers, Ponzi punks, ransomware criminals, tax evaders, and slugs who promote this toxic garbage.

3. You dove into an unregulated market.
4. You rejected oversight.
