On February 11, 2021, the winter storms that nearly shut down Texas began. Over the next week or so, residents had to face frigid temperatures often without heat, due to the widespread power outages that affected nearly 4 million people. Even when the power returned, broken pipes and a lack of access to clean water provided no relief to those still struggling in the storms.

As you all may have seen recently. the internet is kinda going a bit off the walls (get it, wall street) recently when it comes to the stock market recently. From what you may have heard, the price of the GameStop stock has increased by an insane amount in terms of cost. It just simply seems that the stock had just increased for no apparent reason at all. So, to help all of the confusion that is surrounding this topic, I will be mashing all of this stock-market-drama into an easy-to-understand one-page summary. With that out of the way, let’s get into some economics!

Before a bill becomes a law, there is an extensive series of steps it has to go through before it makes its way to the President’s desk. If you want to see the most recent bills that have been introduced, look below, as this will detail their full process. First, bills are drafted by a member of the House of Representatives or the Senate. They basically explain what the bill is going to be about in a short sentence, and a number is added to the end to differentiate it from the rest of them. Online, the website shows what stage a document is in, the date it was introduced, as well as the sponsor. Depending on how far the bill has progressed, the website may show cosponsors of a bill, too. These are individuals who pledge their support for a piece of legislation. It’s best to get as many of these as possible because if there are a greater number of people supporting it, it’s more likely to pass.

What concluded was a horrifying sight.
