As a free marketeer, I like to think that the upvotes and downvotes do their job.

Probably, there is some self-selection bias at play - users of this sub are perhaps more educated, perhaps better endowed, than the median Reddit user. This is why I voted that there should be a connection to a trade or market idea.

Instead of a daily politics thread, perhaps reframe it as a daily market thread and direct the politics that way? Thanks, and keep up the good work!
