Re: Alpha Anxiety
I would return for a full refund.? Who knows what else is wrong. I think they deserved a second chance but not a third.? Of course I have nothing invested, but that is what I would do.? Good luck

Re: Happy June Solstice
Yes, in the Northern Hemisphere this point in the annual solar cycle is referred as the summer solstice and the first day of summer. However, this is a northern-centric bias. Apologies to Shakespeare
