One of the tricks of being a public figure is giving people something to talk about.
Like allowing a physical flaw to be seen publicly.
People will latch onto it, especially haters, and rush to point it out and try to use it against you.
But unbeknownst to them, you set the trap and they took the bait.
I call this “hater bait.”
No cynicism, do not despair
We need cold realism and determination
Do not be limited by the same logic that got us here
We will win, our nation will endure
Just take a moment... and think about this:
The device you most likely are holding while reading this post is computing your interests, logging what you like, records how you respond to engagements, listens to you and it uses all of this data to give you the experience of information comfort.
Ads seem to suggest items your choices in the past, that you don't keep track of, and you feel like it just so happen to pop up as a suggestion and how fortunate for you it did!
People who use terms you use, post with, liked posts by others using similar ideology and views, just find their way into your timeline... as if by fate!
This is done by Algorithmic means.
Now, in a industry that commands the wealth of the richest movers and shakers in trading... you think they are going to simply let the impulses of Buyers and Sellers muscle or "pressure" the markets and remove their firm control over them?
Their job was and is to give you the experience and illusion that you are trading a free market. Where Buyers and Sellers swing the proverbial pendulum of supply and demand forces in any instrument.
You really what to stick with that as your final answer? :)
For months, @L0m3z and I have been pressing the idea that the Left is moving from “woke” to Third-Worldism—that is, from symbolic politics to material politics. Yes, we ruined the reputation of “woke,” but Third-Worldism is a more serious threat to life, liberty, and property.
JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
"You say you don't go to Church because it's full of hypocrites there? I say you're right, but come anyway, we've got room for one more." - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
I think it’s been a very useful discussion.
Can I suggest that we both read Gordon Wood’s Creation of the American Republic, in honor of the 92 year old scholar who was just run over in a parking lot in Providence—likely by another scholar
One major, underappreciated development of the 21st century is that through a combination of improved surveillance technology and weaponised sociology, it is now basically impossible for a sufficiently entrenched dictatorship to be overthrown by popular movements.
They are symptoms of American conquest.
As in a fairy tale, only America can set its conquered vassals free. But only by telling the truth about the past.
When we live in the lie it does no good at all. When we even hint at the truth, our quislings tremble in their filthy boots
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
President Trump says the war with Iran is officially over and that a peace deal will be signed in Europe.
President Trump spoke with the leaders of Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia as part of the negotiations.
Benjamin Netanyahu was kept out of the discussions.
But I was told by pundits on the right that:
“Most of the black community was in support of killing white teens.”
Point being…
BOTH “sides” have a grift and lies going.
The internet isn’t real life.
Go engage and build with your friends, family and neighbors in your neighborhood.
Ignore MOST of the pundits unless they have had consistently objective takes.
The new virus didn’t work, so back to plan A. 😂
I’ve been saying this. The race dividing court cases got pushed to the new summer of love. The right in time for the midterms 🍿🥤
One family lost their son the other family's son will be gone for decades yet all I see grift from the grifters trying to capitalize on tragedy
Nasty work by the lot of you
