Turn it off! Turn off the freedom! (They’re stealing our thing!)

January 2021

“Wall Street was getting rocked so hard by average people buying stock in GameStop that they just stopped average people from buying it. Yeah, the same guys — the same guys who are always like, ‘The markets must never be regulated. They must always remain free!’ Those same guys are now like, ‘Oh, [expletive], the poor people got hold of the freedom. Turn it off! Turn off the freedom!’” —Trevor Noah

“They’re like, ‘We can’t have a bunch of randos on Reddit manipulating the market — that’s what we do. They’re stealing our thing!’” —Jimmy Kimmel

“So thanks to this ban, the GameStop stock that a lot of people bought for a ton of money is now worth a lot less, which is probably a familiar feeling to anyone who’s sold a used game back to GameStop.” —Trevor Noah

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s The Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
