For those of you who don’t understand what’s happening with GameStop, here’s a simplified explanation, from someone who went to a viewing of The Wolf of Wall Street put on by a business fraternity:

So, on one side, you have DiCaprio and Scorsese (Italians), who are money boys.
On the other side you have gameboys: Mario, Luigi, Spyro fire lizard, and Sinatra (a quirkier group of Italians) who are singing “fly me to the moon!” and wanna be money boys too. The gameboys decided to storm this capital in order to bring video games back to schools (BAD idea).
And at the same time, Joe Gaff Again and Pelosi (possibly Italian?) are also singing Sinatra songs because it reminds them of their glory days when they could throw a football over a mountain, but now that mountain is GameStop stock and they can’t throw it over anymore! (spooky)
