    Watch Facebook fall! It's their own fault. They blew it!

    A year ago, before Facebook had turned Meta, the social media company was sporting a market cap of $1 trillion, putting it in rarefied territory with a handful of U.S. technology giants.

    Today the view looks much different. Meta has lost about two-thirds of its value since peaking in September 2021. The stock is trading at its lowest since January 2019 and is about to close out its third straight quarter of double-digit percentage losses. Only four stocks in the S&P 500 are having a worse year.

    I looked into CS recently. It's not in great shape, and probably won't be for years, but it isn't going belly up.

    My opinion, of course. I'm wrong 0.0001% of the time. Or I'm right that percentage, I forget.

    I remember when I was a boy (yes, it was before electricity) when the British pound was worth five American dollars.

    These kinds of policies are the cheap and easy kinds of things we can do to actually address our country's problems.

    Maybe we should redefine what greatest country in the world means. That is a title we claim. Greatest country should mean our children are fed.
