Just the most remarkably stubborn thing...
Doesn't everyone know the steps:
1) crypto down
2) crypto traders steal mom/dads money to go into the last breaths of AI/space until the IPO
3) mom/dad figure out too late and forced to foreclose
Where efficient markets?
Wages, benefits, and transfer receipts are all broken down by the BLS monthly. This is pure sophistry to answer in this way. He wasn't asked about PCE. He was asked about real wage growth.
I know everyone hates bears right now and I will get many QTs calling me a boomer moron, but please consider that megacaps being up 20% in a day ex-earnings is not early cycle behavior, and there is a very real chance of a long term top and years of 0 or negative equity returns.
Trump painted himself in a corner by trashing JCPOA ("Obama deal") only to find out that his improvisations can only get a worse deal, after: draining SPR, depleating arsenal, ruining GCC, destabilizing NATO, driving inflation higher, ruining US/boosting China global prestige.
@SirHiss108@mc154mc154 If you want me to state it again...
Lqda could have done more earlier.
Do I believe they'd win in the end? Yes. But do I think they were borderline absentee in their comms and landing the story? Also yes
Blaming only a judge was clearly misguided, look at the price. Wake up
@SirHiss108@mc154mc154 Surprising that you think subsequent bad data readout in dec and slower uptake for INSM invalidates anything I said. They (appropriately) leaned into being a market darling
Now they are back to only being >4x over 5 years, without ever having existential litigation risk
Passive S&P 500 funds could have to buy roughly 19% of public SpaceX shares within 6mo under fast-tracking framework (it would enter the index at the est 6th spot), Russell 1000 and Nasdaq 100 may buy another 5.5% within weeks of the IPO. Thrown in active MFs benchmarked to those indices and you get to HALF of SpaceX shares. Nice study from my colleague @rduboff
Infleqtion has signed a Letter of Intent with the @commercegov CHIPS Research and Development Office for $100 million in proposed funding to accelerate U.S.-based quantum computing technologies critical to economic competitiveness and national security.
“Quantum computing is emerging as a foundational technology for economic competitiveness, technological leadership, and national security,” said Matt Kinsella, Chief Executive Officer of Infleqtion. “This investment reflects the transformative potential of quantum innovation, and we’re honored to work with the Department of Commerce to accelerate U.S. leadership in quantum computing.”
The proposed investment supports the advancement of neutral-atom quantum systems across quantum hardware, photonics and full-stack system development, while strengthening domestic quantum manufacturing, supply chain and workforce capabilities.
Infleqtion’s quantum technologies are already supporting programs across national security, energy, and scientific research, including @DARPA, the @Energy, @NASA, and the @DeptofWar.
“NVIDIA and Infleqtion have long worked together to accelerate the capability of quantum computing through integration of quantum processors with GPU supercomputing,” said Timothy Costa, Vice President and General Manager for Quantum at @NVIDIA. “This announcement is an important milestone for developing large-scale quantum computing systems in the United States, and we're excited to continue supporting Infleqtion on this journey.”

The Boomers of Kentucky embarrassed the United States on the world stage today.
Around the world, people genuinely wondered: can an American politician survive who doesn't repeat low-IQ platitudes about Israel and the Middle East?
The Boomers -- with their heterodox Christianity and FOX News propaganda -- gave their answer.
Republican politics is dominated by people who for some reason still think Sean Hannity is a smart guy, and Mark Levin is a constitutional scholar.
Pat Buchanan had given them the example of the learned and articulate right-winger -- and Pat was well to the right of Hannity and Levin -- but they decided to go with Tomi Lahren and Dan Bongino instead.
Oh, Massie voted this way or that, people will say, and that's why he was targeted in this unprecedented way. Yet there's Donald Trump out there campaigning for pro-amnesty Mike Lawler. So I don't believe you that this is a question of Massie's voting record (which is stellar, by the way).
Even if Massie had had a handful of objectionable votes, a million times more important than any Massie vote is this principle:
A patriot who values his country's sovereignty cannot allow three socially leftist billionaires who represent a foreign interest to buy a congressional seat and place a ridiculous empty suit in it.
Even if for some reason you don't like Massie, you as a patriot would have to dislike THAT a hundred times more.
These three billionaires never once set foot in Kentucky -- Kentuckians, to them, are lower than dirt, and exist solely to have congressional seats bought from them.
Put up a nonentity like "Ed Gallrein" who refuses to debate (how can any voter reward that?), have him utter a few Boomer slogans to satisfy the rubes, and otherwise hide him away. That was the strategy. Boomers (yes, I know there are exceptions) are too morally and intellectually corrupt even to understand what just happened.
But the rest of us understand.
Can you imagine "Ed Gallrein" leading the charge against the Covid restrictions? He would have been first in line for the damn "vaccine"!
Remember, too, that the folks who voted for "Ed Gallrein" tonight are the kind of people who think Marco Rubio is an impressive person, so there was no reaching them.
But the younger generations, who don't get their information from the insulting caricature of conservatism that is FOX News, aren't going to fall for the nonsense that snookered the Boomers -- and therein lies hope.
Incidentally, the easiest thing in the world would have been for Massie to buckle. Nobody reading this has the remotest idea the pressure that was brought to bear against him. Not one of his detractors could have lasted a week in Massie's shoes.
If Trump can sup in happy concord with Zohran Mamdani, the radical leftist mayor of New York, you'd think he could have spared a meal with Massie, whose track record proved he was not Trump's enemy.
Not that you'd know it from the anti-Massie brigade (half of whom used to love Massie before they were instructed not to love him), Massie defended Trump through two impeachments, grilled Merrick Garland over FBI assets on January 6, and defended Trump during Russiagate. By contrast, "Ed Gallrein" left the GOP when Trump was elected, and came back only when Biden was in office.
But since we're not completely dense, we know the real reason Massie could not be tolerated.
As Glenn Greenwald put it, "If the AIPAC/Adelson crowd wants someone out of Congress for disloyalty to Israel, they will be out of Congress.
"There are a few exceptions due to unusual districts, but not many. The Israel Lobby has unlimited funding and will spend limitlessly to expunge the blasphemous."
I repeat that no American patriot can tolerate, much less celebrate, this grotesque and demeaning situation.
The polls show that this situation won't exist forever. We will reach a point at which the foreign money (and that's obviously what it is) will at last be a mark of shame for the candidate receiving it. That will be a great day for American patriots everywhere.
Thomas Massie should hold his head high: he stood up against the machine time and again, knowing that it could one day lead to this.
Tonight we have to explain to our kids: in this world, the good guys don't always win. But you fight regardless of the prospects of winning. The fight for what is good and right is an end in itself.
For that reason, people will remember the Thomas Massies and the Ron Pauls. Nobody will remember "Ed Gallrein," not even as the answer to a trivia question.
