I bought two of those magic electric globes the other day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks

Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester sees an economic recovery or a ‘much more dire’ scenario as equally possible. Meanwhile, the President is calling for negative interest rates like the jaboofer he is.

When the so-called “rich guys” speak negatively about the market, you must always remember that some are betting big against it, and make a lot of money if it goes down. Then they go positive, get big publicity, and make it going up. They get you both ways. Barely legal?

Smashers react to EVO Online not including Ultimate

This is really bad for the Smash scene.

Why ya'll celebrating no Smash in the EVO Online announcement? Would of been dope idc

Weirdos.

— EE »4PF« (@EEvisu) May 14, 2020

EE has a point.

EVO announces it will be a full online tournament this year and has cut Smash from the lineup due to the game's poor online performance with lag

and you know what? they're in the right here and it's on Nintendo to fix Smash online https://t.co/ag8L6xZqSU

— Rod Breslau (@Slasher) May 14, 2020

I hope Nintendo does something... they won't

-Byleth murders Smash hype
-ARMS reveal leaves us in the dark for months
-Virus shuts down major tourneys
-Everyone stuck playing Smash online
-Plead to Nintendo but get no answer
-WiFi Sonic killing the meta
-Smash is dropped from EVO

Okay, who put a curse on Smash this year? pic.twitter.com/rqr7DLfj0s

We should never had opened that sarcophagus.

How everyone thinks smash Twitter is reacting to the evo online lineup vs how we are actually reacting pic.twitter.com/o0U6idq1hg

The memes intensify.

Imagine if Nintendo did a 5000 IQ play and requested the Smash Ultimate tournament to be cancelled so the general masses don’t see how bad the online mode is https://t.co/exmXFhTLqT

Zero is probably right. Nintendo squashed this most likely. Sucks for pro players

David Tepper says this is the second-most overvalued stock market he’s ever seen, behind only 1999
