SPACs have been very lucrative for the sponsor.
"The average SPAC sponsor return less concessions, forfeiture and vesting over the last two years was 648%."

Oh and David Hogg of the Parkland kids is doing a startup selling pillows to compete with Mike Liddell's My Pillow:
so you can now have liberal or conservative pillows.

Hey, Hillary asked if she should get Obama a pillow - influencer?
Seems the whole indy investment trend is straight out of Road Warrior. Gonna be brutal.

In the back of my mind reading all this road warrior capitalist stuff, I can't not be reminded of this:
especially when some wag on twitter mentioned about some kid all excited cashing out his winnings on Gamestop, "did anyone tell him about the capital gains tax owed?"
Edit to add: also too, there is this general mood or zeitgeist people are noticing around NYC, how nobody seems to be chomping at the bit to get back to working the old way, and anyone who does still have to show up for an actual job away from home seems to be getting real surly about it, like "why am I the only one who has to work?" It's like nobody wants to be an employee of anyone else anymore...delivery persons seem especially angry, to a one, and everyone has U.S. mail delivery horror stories..

Here's how I see the trend: everybody wants to be a capitalist, nobody wants to work for wages anymore. No doubt scrambling for dough to live on during lockdowns has helped many see that "light," that there are other ways to make a living. Bernie bros contingent losing popularity big time. It may not last long, but it's real.

P.S. Kaepernik is just another role model for this, he's shut out of working for "wages", capitalism gives him powah to be true to his self, his own man, don't need no boss men.

looking like they need to coin a new word, as "bubble" or "irrational exuberance" doesn't seem adequate:
