We've been the fools of Wall Street, but the events of the past few days with
the shorting of Gamestop, and the new administration that will restore some
of the consumer financial protections should move things in a good direction.
There seems to be a new *Theory of Moral Sentimants* emerging that is
challenging the financial industry, and I'm not sure if it is really moral, but it is
disruptive. We'll have to see where the chips fall.
