⚡🇬🇧 Rupert Lowe gives advice to British Patriots:
“If you want your country back, when you’re called a racist or a bigot, the three key words are...”
“I don’t care.” Restore Britain
But the Lego story is a real debacle. The Mormons got a little too arrogant this time. Those dirty tricks may have worked ~pre-2014 but now it’s all on camera and clear there’s serious corruption going on.
This is a hugely important whitepill.
Under every previous president, most deportations were very recent arrivals caught crossing the border. Once a person escaped into the interior, sanctuary laws and other soft amnesty meant their odds of actually being forced out were minimal.
Now, the median male Trump is deporting has been in the US for three years.
We are finally kicking out long-term “visitors” who never should have been here in the first place.
Buddy, you're not going to believe this.
Jane Street, 2nd round interview, 2015. The guy slides me a map of the United States divided into six completely arbitrary regions labeled A-F.
“You have won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. You can go anywhere in America, but you must stay inside one region the entire time. Which region do you choose?”
I ask, “Are these borders legal, geographic, climatic, or just drawn by someone making a point?”
He says, “They are settlement boundaries.”
Then he fades out the map.
The lines, by themselves, form a dead horse.
“At expiry,” he says, “each region receives the portion of the horse inside its boundary. Make me a market in D getting the largest allocation.”
I say, “So this isn’t a vacation problem. It’s a physically settled dead-horse spread across arbitrary geographic partitions with tourism beta, meme-decay carry, cartographic basis risk, and perishable collateral.”
He says, “Keep going.”
“Region A has airport liquidity and coastal optionality. C has park convexity. D owns most of the torso, so it’s long carcass notional but short freshness. The legs are high-vol because a one-pixel boundary shift changes who can claim mobility, even though the horse is already dead.”
He asks, “What’s fair value?”
“Depends whether we allocate by area, weight, smell, or repost volume. Pixel settlement is gameable. Physical settlement has negative carry. And there’s no clean hedge because the underlying is both the map and the joke.”
He smiles for the first time.
“So what do you quote?”
“Wide. Vacation demand is the dividend, glue is the recovery value, and every repost increases dead-horse volume while decaying originality carry.”
He says, “Can you beat it?”
I say, “The market?”
He says, “The horse.”
I say, “Same book.”
Feedback: Strong grasp of cartographic basis, meme decay, and physical settlement.
Rejected: Candidate beat the market by beating a dead horse.
It is de facto illegal to ask out someone if you encounter them when either of you are at work. Nobody intentionally passed such a law, but through tort law they made romance too risky for employers. The managerial class did the rest.
We're all slaves to the bottom quintile and the collection of megacorporations that exploit the various subsidies lavished upon it
For example, the productive are taxed to fund SNAP, which the bottom quintile uses to buy carbonated corn syrup called soda, and SNAP is about a quarter of Coca-Cola/PepsiCo revenue. Soda is the number one item bought with SNAP. We then are taxed yet more to fund the Medicaid for the bottom quintile, so our tax dollars can pay for the diabetes treatments for the corn syrup enjoyers, so they can continue consuming more corn syrup while relying on SNAP and Medicaid.
So, those who are destroying the West's topsoil at a rapid rate to grow corn benefit (they're subsidized through other programs as well), Pepsi and Coca Cola benefit, and the bottom quintile benefits
The average net taxpayer, on the other hand, receives absolutely no benefits from this...unless he owns shares in those companies, the gains on and dividends of which are then taxed again to further keep the ridiculous cycle of yeast life subsidization going
Over the course of the past week we went from "zoomers need to live within their means even if that means living on PB&J" to "boomers shouldn't have to pay property taxes because sometimes it prices them out."
