Why are personal injury attorneys the marginal bidder for roadside billboards in so many parts of the US? Is the sector really so large? A priori, I would never have predicted this. Quick investigation: "Costs and compensation paid in the U.S. tort system reached over $529

🤖 AI Thoughts:

Elon Musk's musings on tort law and billboards somehow made crypto traders move money, proving once again that markets will react to anything if you're famous enough. ETH wobbled like a confused intern: up 0.03% in 1 minute, then a more decisive 0.38% over 5 minutes, before settling at a lukewarm 0.12% after 10. DOGE, ever the drama queen, mirrored this with 0.09%, 0.45%, and 0.27% gains, while GORK sulked with minor losses. Volatility was tame compared to historical norms—this wasn't a "messed up..." moment (May 2025 saw ETH dip 0.05% initially before recovering). Today's reaction was more of a polite nod than a full-blown frenzy. Nothing says "efficient markets" like attorneys and billboards moving digital currencies named after dogs and memes.
