Reminder that the current growth of plant-based alternatives to meat is due largely to meat eaters who think they're adding a "healthy" option to their diets.

This actually make Tyson's idea of meat products that are cut with veggies seem pretty appropriate, but I don't know if people will go for it.

I'm letting the shares in my IRA ride, but considering selling my robinhood shares to take that 6.5% profit. Don't want to be TOO greedy, especially when there's the possibility of cheapies tomorrow from any of the companies reporting tomorrow:
>MRK, MO, MA, GEO
>NRZ, PFE, FDP, LLY

>PFE
Eh, not a bad idea with Gottlieb on board, but there may be better cheapies tomorrow. Could you imagine getting in on Merck for cheap just because their CEO said something dumb on the conference call? (He won't, he's a steady hand.)

I guess I'll just watch The Batchelor and spend all my money at the local bar instead of enjoying my hobbies.

This is all judgmental boomershit from the "Turn on, tune in, drop out" and "never trust anyone over 40" generation.

Diversity in and of itself isn't bad. The CEO of Merck is a blackmen, and he is fucking KILLING it. They even got rid of their mandatory retirement age just so he wouldn't have to step down. Pretty happy I've got this one on DRiP, but I'm a little spooked for when he finally announces his successor.

But yes, diversity for the sake of appearing woke and appealing to feminism is fucking DUMB.

Ugh... it's a long term holding but it's doubled since I bought like 10 years ago. Already trimmed so hello taxman!

I guess I'll really have to compare the individual holdings, I thought VTSMX basically was an S&P 500 fund, I've got a lot of homework to do.
