When really big money is threatened, the media moves in lockstep. You saw this in the 2020 Bernie Sanders campaign. Love Sanders or hate him, as soon as he gained momentum the Bernie Blindness began and any news pundit who dared say anything positive about the guy got his mic clipped and disinvited from that network. (see r/bernieblindness)

The same phenomenon seemed to be at work this week with hundreds of articles pushing the completely bogus tale that Reddit investors had all moved from GameStop to silver, which any interested reporter could have debunked by spending 5 minutes on WSB.

Lawyers are not allowed to walk into the ER and solicit clients, this used to be called "ambulance chasing." Have you contacted any state bar associations about the ethics of using patients' location data to accomplish the same end?

Take the tour. On your way to the bottom of the dam a thousand feet down, you'll traverse a succession of doorways and elevators worthy of Get Smart. At the bottom, you'll eyeball a row of yellow turbines. You won't see this, but the dam engineers work in a nondescript government office that's tucked in above the turbines, in the middle of the Colorado River.

Pro tip: Use the mens' room at the top of the dam right before you get on the 2nd elevator.

Alas, the mens' room sits at a unique perch atop the dam and, although there are womens' rooms at the bottom of the elevator and at the visitor center it just ain't the same.

You can buy Abbey's books at the NPS bookstore at the top of the dam. BTW, how's the town of Page holding up with no houseboat renters? Sounds pretty dire.
