- The revolution that wasn't : Gamestop, Reddit, and the fleecing of small investors / by Jakab, Spencer,author.(CARDINAL)626938;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-287) and index."The Revolution That Wasn't is the riveting story of how the meme stock squeeze unfolded, and of the real architects (and winners) of the GameStop rally. Drawing on his years as a stock analyst at a major bank, Jakab exposes technological and financial innovations such as Robinhood's habit-forming smartphone app as ploys to get our dollars within the larger story of evolving social and economic pressures. The surprising truth? What appeared to be a watershed moment--a revolution that stripped the ultra-powerful hedge funds of their market influence, placing power back in the hands of everyday investors--only tilted the odds further in the house's favor."--- Subjects: GameStop (Firm); Reddit (Firm); Investments.; Stock exchanges.; Stocks.;

- The hard tomorrow / by Davis, Eleanor,1983-author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)493874; Drawn & Quarterly (Firm)(CARDINAL)555608;
"Hannah is a thirty-something wife, home-health worker, and antiwar activist. Her husband, Johnny, is a stay-at-home pothead working--or 'working'--on building them a house before the winter chill sets in. They're currently living and screwing in the back of a truck, hoping for a pregnancy, which seems like it will never come. Legs in the air, for a better chance at conception, Hannah scans fertility Reddits while Johnny dreams about propagating plants--kale, tomatoes--to ensure they have sufficient sustenance should the end times come, which, given their fragile democracy strained under the weight of a carceral state and the risk of horrible war, doesn't seem so far off. Helping Hannah in her fight for the future is her best friend Gabby, a queer naturalist she idolizes and who adores her. Helping Johnny build the house is Tyler, an off-the-grid conspiracy theorist driven sick by his own cloudy notions of reality."--- Subjects: Comics (Graphic works); Dystopian comics.; Fiction.; Graphic novels.; Anti-war demonstrations; Fertility; Gender identity; House construction; Interpersonal relations; Man-woman relationships; Organic farmers; Pregnant women; Survival; Gender identity.;
