The Gamestop Incident with a Leftist and a Financial Advisor
This week is a bit different. I talked to 2 people who know more than I do about the Gamestop situation with the stock market and tried to figure out what the hell was going on. Ood Galifrey is a podcaster and leftist over at the Occultae Veritatis podcast and David Richards is a financial advisor and progressive activist. Between the two of them and my lack of understanding I hope we can help you figure out what the hell is going on with Gamestop and r/wallstreetbets
