This LGR guy took 15 min to get to the point. Any point. And his
channel doesn't even explain what "LGR" stands for.

Well, I think he kind of created a shitstorm and gave CR a little too
much exposure. The CR liquidation seems to have been going at a nice
controlled rate. Now that the whole world knows, it would not be a

I'm overwhelmed and it's time to purge. The problem isn't a desire

space and the inclination, you can eventually fill your available space.
