The Fortunes Won—and Lost—in the Mind-Boggling Rise of r/WallStreetBets
 
James never paid much attention to the stock market. The 41-year-old has worked for 20 years at the same aerospace company in Cincinnati, coating jet-engine parts with a protective layer of aluminide. He lives in Cheviot, a working-class Ohio suburb just minutes from his childhood home. He's not particularly emotive, and his goals in life are modest—his greatest ambition is to own a house of his own, maybe a new car. He is a thoroughly ordinary guy. But when lockdown orders were issued last spring and the economy cratered, James, a longtime Reddit user enamored with the swashbuckling environment of r/WallStreetBets, a subreddit for high-risk retail investors, saw an opportunity to turn a quick buck in the stock market.

The 13 Best Joggers That You'll Probably Never Wear for an Actual Jog
 
Sometimes the real test of whether a pair of pants is a jogger is whether it feels like a jogger. And once you find one that feels right to you, then all you need to do is wear it. With a T-shirt, a track jacket, and classic runners to walk the dog. With a camp shirt, a chore coat, and some slides to pick up coffee. With a different T-shirt and some slippers on the couch. Hell, you could even throw on some proper running shoes and a tank top and actually...jog in your joggers. Hey, it could happen! But before it does, you'll need to start shopping for your new jogger pants. Start with this list, and trust your instincts. Read More
