Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is a better basis for a system of government than career politicians, corporate lobbying, and a pretend two party uniparty system, hell bent on dividing the population against each other in order to protect the fraudulent interests of elites from the scrutiny of the common people.
No I never personally owned any but it's kinda funny to see that the Wojak meme coin literally dropped 99% instantly overnight. I mean the irony being this is something that would happen to the character Wojak in his show on YouTube. It's kinda a "wo-is-me" meme right, entirely relatable sometimes although no one actually wants to go to zero. But if anyone did surly it would be Wojak...
This meme gets it exactly right.
Bernie and a lot of politicians want you to imagine Elon sitting on a massive pile of cash like some cartoon villain hoarding gold. That’s not how it works.
His net worth is almost entirely tied up in Tesla and SpaceX stock. He’s said himself that less than 0.1% of it is actual cash. The rest is ownership in real companies that build things.
Tesla has over 100,000 employees making electric cars, batteries, and energy systems. SpaceX has thousands of people working on rockets and Starlink. These aren’t abstract numbers on a spreadsheet. They’re factories, engineers, technicians, and workers who get paid and, in a lot of cases, own stock themselves.
Just recently SpaceX’s valuation turned more than 4,400 of those employees into millionaires. Not just executives — regular people who helped build the rockets.
The money isn’t sitting idle either. It gets poured back into the companies. That’s how they dropped rocket launch costs dramatically and got Starlink internet out to millions of people who never had decent access before. Customers actually choose to buy Teslas and use Starlink. Investors and employees choose to put their money and time into these companies because they see the value.
Most of Tesla isn’t even owned by Elon. A huge chunk belongs to regular retail investors, index funds, pension funds, and the employees. When the value goes up, a lot of normal people benefit too.
Politicians know this isn’t liquid cash sitting in a vault. They just hope enough people don’t understand the difference so they can score points by pretending it is.
You can’t just grab a “trillion dollars” that mostly exists as shares in operating companies without hurting the actual businesses, the jobs, and the progress they’re making. This is what wealth creation looks like when it’s working — not some fixed pile of money getting stolen from everyone else.
All human beings are tribal to some degree.
Interestingly, one of the main things that separates people is on what criteria they base their dividing lines.
For some, it's superficial traits. For others, it's value driven. Even being an individualist puts you into a tribe.
A couple months ago I starting with the original film and I proceeded to watch SG-1 partly in preparation for the new series which from everything I had heard at the time looked promising. It turned out the show was even better than I had remembered it to be. The writing was good the characters all had their part to play and as the show develops I can't help but come to care about them all. A nice mix of thoughtful Sci Fi concepts and action mixed in and even the special effects hold up well enough to not take me out of the show. The main criticism I had was some of the repetitive lines given to Richard Dean Anderson that do get annoying at times, maybe they were lines he put in himself I don't know but apart from that overal it was a joy to revisit after so many years. So my thoughts end up being well they don't make them like this anymore do they. 🤷
Sadly turns out I was right that they don't even want to make anything with the kind of thoughtfulness and storytelling shows like SG-1 and SG Atlantis had back in those days. They will literally cancel the possibility of it even happening so they can serve us slop like the Rings of Power.
Great job Amazon. At least I know that whatever show they end up producing who's showrunners hate the fans and disrespects the lore will crash and burn and waste them a lot of money. It just sucks to know we may have been so close to something that could have been good. Who's even going to bother to watch what they put out now instead. Probably not me unless it's only because I'm curious to see how bad it is like I did with Starfleet Academy.
Seems we live in a time where everything has to become the worst version of itself. RIP STAR GATE.
@BullTheoryio I think they increased activity so the US would think twice about moving accents away from the pacific to help vs Iran. It's probably just that (for now) let's hope.
how to make $10,000,000,000 in 90 days
Jane Street case:
1) get billions of dollars from investors
2) let's say btc is trading at $69k, buy btc on spot
3) open big short positions via derivatives
4) sell all btc within few minutes in a low liquidity market at 10 am et or during negative sentiments
5) btc price starts to go down, say to $65k
6) close the short position for big profits, they lose only 5.8% in spot position
7) buy again in $65k, create fomo, open short
8) rinse and repeat
> do this for the next 90 days
congratulations you made $10b by literally manipulating magic internet money
🚨MASSIVE DISCOVERY rewrites Human History:

📍This is well over 30,000 YEARS OLDER than Sumerian Cuneiform from ancient Mesopotamia, which was long thought to be the oldest 🤯
They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.

Then slowly raised the price of everything.
Ownership quietly became renting.
