/biz/ - Business & Finance

/smg/, I have returned. Sminem has given me clarity.
A pawn shop opened up next to my job and I went there for some clothes, while there I asked the guy if he had any keyrings because I have cheap ones which bend open
He produced two made by his wife, one just a fork head with two tines rolled up and the other two clipped short to make a peace sign hand, but the other a basic piece of rose quartz cut into the shape of that low poly polar bear GIF. $5 each and I need keyrings and thought this one made up for the fork, so I got both.
As he swiped my card and checked me out on his smartphone, I noticed there were two sets of business cards, same last name, on the little counter. He's an auto mechanic and his wife is...a shamanist, reiki healer, life coach, etc etc. I'd been in here once before and he had told me she ran a "massage parlor" but had to close down due to COVID, probably this is what he was talking about.

Anyways this is not THAT unusual of an encounter when you live in Vermont, but still I feel a strong sense of comfy markets from this bear charm. Like a polar bear we must weather through this cold season and accumulate genuine cheapies where available. Don't be afraid to hodl and hibernate a bit either, and stay well hydrated. Time in > timing.

Lastly if you're into cryptos at all, the bear whispered to me that it might be worth stacking a bit of Monero before it gets easier to buy. I can't because my credit union doesn't even work with Coinbase verification to get other cryptos, but the rest of you needn't miss out.

Stay frosty!
