I've found myself finding more satisfaction and joy out of doing fewer things, but going deeper. Instead of picking up a new sport, I've gone deeper into running.

Maybe I just don’t understand finance very well, but who is bankrolling over 1B in losses? And why?

Good feedback here. Do you have any example “smaller forums” that you have found particularly helpful?
