It kinda seems like if you haven't read it, then it's not much of a book report.
Obviously it's political in nature, but is it somehow worth the $96.03 Amazon currently lists it at? Or is this just a way to pass money to Trump without it being considered a political donation?
If there was at least a list of who these correspondences were with, maybe we could make a leap of faith. Some would probably pay for a few correspondences with Stormy, but my guess is that they didn't write much. OTOH, with today's announcements and the last couple months lead up, I might even pay for a few good back and forths between Trump and Tucker. My guess is those aren't in there either.
In the future I'd rather we try to keep political books out of this area. Thanks

Not really but then how do we know if we didn’t glance or speed read a few chapters. The previous book I posted above yeah probably unless one would want to view ‘Rigged ‘ in a broader light than the left wing fiction. I doubt you’d read any of them, It might change the hate that’s been propagandized into the world view that so many have succumbed to. My opinion you have yours. Thought there are a few on this board that would like to be informed.

I don’t think we need a special “book notification” section.
While I admit I might have interest in “rigged” just to try to understand the people and methods behind a conspiracy theory, you’re right that I would be more likely to read it if it was about an oil platform, or prepping a sailboat. But hey, we all have our hobbies.
I do like trying to understand the lead up to major financial bubbles, and really it’s the same thing. People get lathered up into a tizzy over something, thinking the world is changing. This time must be different! Tulips, hanging chads, or newfangled voting machines. Like any conspiracy theory, it helps when there is some mystery, the possibility that something is happening, that for some reason con trails are chemicals, 40,000 feet up. Throw aeronautical science to the side. Some made up theory is probably right.
The whole thing is rigged, man!
Figure out some way to be relevant to AAPL, apple, or finances. If not in every post, then in the majority of them. I can’t actually think of the last time you had an on-topic post, and it seems your “macster” name has long outlasted your interest in anything Mac related.

These book “recommendations” are totally irrelevant to what this place is supposed to be about. Enough is enough.
