Tuesday's top story.

SEC Gary Gensler, disappointed by part of Ripple, still assessing opinion and AI could play big role in the future financial crisis.

So I was just reading the little prompt that I had here because it pretty much sums it up. So basically what happened yesterday at an

event in D.C., Gary Gansler said he's disappointed with the court's decision in the Ripple case

regarding retail investors. But he's pleased that the part found that the institutional sale of

XRP did violate federal securities laws.

And then he went on to talk about AI, believes AI could destabilize the global economy if big tech monopolizes its development for financial market applications.

But the good thing about AI is, we all know that Gary Gensler is incapable of doing his job.

So people in AI that are working in that industry, they'll have no problem innovating

in the United States,

probably for the next 10 years because by the time the public servants get it together

and come up with some form of regulation, it will already have destroyed the United States

of America. So, congratulations, public servants.

I love a good Wendy O rant on a Taco Tuesday. It doesn't get much better than that.

But yeah, this is, there's so much has happened since I've been away.
