Seems like it’s almost time for Arab Spring 2.0: Global Spring.

The audiobook is also quite good. It’s fully cast, so each section is voiced by a new actor who writes the letters in the collection.

It’s crazy how predictive this 1990 B-Movie was about our graduating class: https://youtu.be/3w-ph46XYWQ

They didn’t make “back” money, they’re just making money. His friends are the ones telling him to say insane shit that drives the market (or specific targeted stocks like Apple) down, then they buy while it’s low. After a few days/weeks, he changes his mind/can’t enforce his nonsense and the stock goes back up, his friends sell and have nothing but profit. The majority of the shit he does is market manipulation to benefit himself and anyone riding his coattails.
