Investing: Uber + Tesla -- we may have reached a tipping point.
Investing: whistling past the graveyard --
- we've just gotten through the worse two trading weeks in October! Whoo-hoo!

- ICE:
- Memphis crackdown: > 1,000 arrests and dozens of missing children found;
- mRNA
- cancer survival rates enhanced with mRNA vaccines. Flatlanders aghast.
