This remind me when in the 1980’s Cup Holders were introduced in Dodge Caravans, but most cars they expected you to buy this and clip it onto the inside window the story historygarage.com/essential-evolution-handy-cup-h…e. 1980’s

Nothing is stopping you from being a shareholder except you wanna buy those fancy things. Read “The millionaire next door”. We drive 10 y.o.Toyotas, shop at wal-mart, cut our own hair, and buy parts of businesses. You don’t?
now-a-days if you hurt someones feelings they ban you if you go to r/reddit there is a mention of a user (by name) who got banned for saying Wesley Crusher [a ficional character] is a soy-boy
If they keep banning people for shit like this, they won’t have any customers. And the character was a soy-boy.
Why I say confirmed our launch is there have been at least one close call on each side. One I remember the details of one was the USSR Officer in charge, Stanislav Petrov, over-rode the information from the radar and 40 years ago, on 26 September 1983, he saved from potential nuclear disaster....
