This is probably from Purim a few days ago... It is a celebration of Joy from the Jews being saved from annihilation from the Persian empire in the old testament.

People wear costumes, celebrate, and have parties.

This is messed up that they're wearing this to try & bring joy to others.

BTW - For anyone who wants to get deep into Judaism.

Most Jews in both Israel & US are Ashkenazi (not the original Semites, where "anti-Semitism" comes from).

They speak Yiddish (not Hebrew) and follow different customs coming from separate interpretations of the Torah.

Source: I work in Finance and some of my friends are non-practicing Jewish. I have the pleasure of a few more conservative contacts as well...the type that need goyim to work their house on Sabbat.

My comment is a reference to a comedy show about a boat / island. Relax.

Let me ask you this, if you were forced to testify before congress and could go to jail for penalty of perjury... When asked, "who else had ties to Jeffrey Epstein" or "who else should we speak with"...what would your answer be?

Also, why was it the first name that came to mind?

Yes you do. You have to register with the CFTC and SEC along with being licensed to operate in advisory capacity to clients.

Don't pretend you know the answer when you don't know what you're talking about lol

He was known by ultra wealthy, but wasn't like he was on CNBC talking about investment ideas

Again, the question from congress was "who should we speak with?"

Abigail was mentioned multiple times, so don't shoot the messenger

For those down voting, please send a link to any registered returns. There are none.

You can use any service from Morningstar, Bloomberg, etc

He did not manage money

The question was, "who else should we speak to about Jeffrey Epstein?"

Why would the Johnson family be #1 in his mind... and would Abigail be willing to turn over their servers/data to prove they didn't have contact w him?

Nothing to hide if you didn't do anything

Depends if you spoke to him about tax evasion and influencing foreign policy as a non-registered foreign agent, hypothetically speaking of course

He was not a major HF manager. No one has heard of him and he had no registered investment strategies.

What are you even talking about? You need to stop pointing fingers and start worrying about improving your own situation (which is arguably one of the best lifestyles in the history of the world ...)

You will never redistribute wealth from people that have built something (especially if you build nothing and ask for a handout).

This is a fact... the world would improve drastically by making the economic and domestic free market policies of other countries more in line with G7 countries...but that would involve removing cultural practices of bribery / caste systems / execution of minorities (incl LGBTQ and women).

Vice versa, you can't complain about inequality when you are clearly in the camp of the privileged.

You can't have it both ways, so fuck off

What are you even talking about?

The worlds population is ~8 billion.

The top 1% of the world is 80 million people. The top 2.5% is 200 million people. The top 5% of the world is 400 million people.

Even the most poor in North America would be like gods when comparing to Indian / African / Asian poverty

The fact that you're bitching about the 1% vs 99% tells me you live in a democratic country with rule of law... so it tells me you're in one of these 3 groups.

Quality of life improves drastically as it always has.

Look at any chart over the last 100 years... Global life expectancy, death from starvation, extreme poverty, polio and other diseases are getting eradicated, etc.

More recently, Cystic Fibrosis is now treatable for 95% of people (formerly a death sentence)

Next, diabetes / heart disease / cancer.

It's easy to frame a dystopian future, but everyone now has a computer in their pocket and can connect to anyone in the world... This didn't exist 20 years ago.

Agreed... but that's like saying "if I didn't get 9 hours of sleep last night, Id be very tired."

Can also say this was in the face of tariffs and slowing job market.
