Haha, reminder guys to sell your SSL on open! Might be the last chance you get to unload those bags anywhere other than crushing loss!
Remember to uhhh sell at 7.5 rather than market, there's gonna be, uhh, really low demand so better safe than sorry!
Haven't you held your bags long enough already?
You're a big important trader, what's a little loss to prevent a big loss?
Can I get those bags for you sir?
An important gentleman like yourself shouldn't have to carry his own bags, right?

holy fuck this article. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/arts/pandemic-ads-salute-you.html

>Dozens of TV and online ads have angled to position brands within the pandemic experience, deploying inspirational pop music and gravelly voice-over artists to assure us that in “these unprecedented times” (Buick), that “in times as uncertain as these” (Chick fil A), “we’re all living a new normal” (State Farm), but “even now, some things never change” (Target) because “our spirit is what unites us” (Dodge).

>The hallmarks of the coronavirus ad are so consistent they could be generated by bots. They begin with eerie drone footage of empty streets, a shot of a child staring plaintively out the window and then — cue the upbeat musical key change — a medical worker peeling off a mask, a guy jamming on a home piano, maybe a deeply pregnant woman rubbing her belly as if summoning a genie from its bottle. One Coca-Cola commercial, “To the Human Race,” created by a Malaysian advertising agency, elevates the subtext of these ads to text. “For all the scare mongering, there is also care mongering,” it says. “For every virus, there is a vaccine … in positivity.”
