Market not open today but the futures are tanking hard. They were up briefly last night when rumors came out about a Biden-Putin meeting. But then Russia had a televised security meeting where Putin pushed for war. Nasdaq currently down 1.5%

Does anyone see the connection between these two stories?
The comments section of the Tim Cook story are worth checking out.

Thanks Dave. The comments were indeed interesting. Also, good to hear from Tommo and Robert Leitao, who used to be very active and wonderful on this board.

Okay, this is the connection that I see. -Apple changes App Store rules so that the end user has some control over its privacy. -Facebook loses billions of dollars. -Zuckerberg calls in favors from politicians that he has contributed huge political donations to. -Bills are introduced into congress that would negate point one above. -Facebook returns to its previous business model now supported by U.S. law. -Politicians reinforce that they can be bought, but the price has been infatuated like everything else.
