“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

I keep seeing this attitude on forums when people ask how to avoid the Space X IPO ETF/Mutual Fund scam, “Don't worry about it, worst case your portfolio loses 5%”.

That attitude drives me nuts, look even if I was OK with just randomly throwing away 5% of my hard earned money, the last place I want it to go is to that racist grifter.

@goodlinks I can’t find an option to
Summarise an article. I never want this. I saved something to read it.
