A real foe for traders is time. How far around the corner can we see? What can we do to see further than others? Is there a better way to be in more than one place at a time?
Time for a paradigm shift in trader psychology. Most traders are stuck on the mirror match, thinking their toughest opponent is themselves. Skynet is your true opponent, and it plays a perfect game.
Lock your counterparty into too much risk.
Welcome to the #HallOfMirrors.
Iron Dome destroyed after firing a salvo of interceptors.
These Iron Dome sites are not fixed, so the Iranian missile can't be purely guided by satellite.
There has to be an imaging infrared seeker. So it's tailor made to hit mobile military targets
Israeli intelligence must've known of this capability. Which means they DELIBERATELY put the Iron Dome in a residential neighborhood, knowing they will be targeted.
Yes that means the Israeli military used civilians as human shields.
They smuggled wheat blight into the US and were trying to genetically modify it
Had they succeeded, they could have destroyed much of the American wheat crop, which would have caused untold harm to us and those who rely on our wheat exports
China already destroyed the orange crop doing essentially this, with the HLB ("citrus greening") bacteria that suspiciously showed up in America knocking out 95% of the Florida orange industry
They already know we're in a state of war....
This is one of the biggest problems in America and nobody in power cares
“Private equity is ruining everything and it's driving me insane. My dog's vet got bought out by private equity. And it used to be this place that actually like dogs. The doctors were so awesome. Now every time I go, they try to upcharge me on everything.
— I went today and I took my dog. He needs to get his like prescriptions refilled, basically. So we did a heartwarm test and they proceeded to quote me for $2,000 in additional services that he may need, one being teeth cleaning, which all of that was for teeth cleaning actually. And I've gotten quotes for other places for teeth cleaning because I know his teeth need to be cleaned pretty soon. And I've gotten quoted for $400 at other places. $400.
Why is it $2,000 at my former vet, where I used to be able to go in without an annual exam and get vaccine, where now I have to annual exam. I have to go in for an exam for anything. And every time I go in, they try to upsell me on multiple things that I've already declined. And they don't even pet my dog. They don't even act like they like dogs”
“I just feel like private equity getting into pet ownership is insane because we've been pushed out of the market to be able to afford children because of private equity and private insurance. And so a lot of us have gotten dogs and pets because we want to have something in our lives. And now they're making this extremely unaffordable as well. I was shocked by the way they tried to close the meeting and push for additional tests that weren't discussed with the doctor, weren't discussed before I arrived, saying that because he's five, he needs to get these tests. And then when I get the quote for the dental work, it was actually pre operation blood work when I haven't agreed to going and getting his teeth cleaned there.
It's a scam. I feel scammed. I feel like every time I go somewhere it's been bought out by private equity and everywhere is trying to price gouge me where I feel like becoming Amish may be the next best thing I could do for myself because I genuinely can't continue to live in a world that is controlled by private equity”
