  • Yea i guess the most simple explanation, that is most coherent with the rest of the administration’s actions, is that it’s just a mob style shake down of every major economic player. Pure extortion as the japanese said.

    But ya its funny to see the SEC and DOJ neutered and then actually used against big tech. Ironic and poetic, and fucking stupid. It really burns at the senses, and creates confusion.


  • Absolutely. As an investor and enjoyer of US markets and economy, I am truly terrified at the ramifications of all this. No safe harbors left to hide in and it appears to be hit the economy with a wrecking ball, and funnel the remaining funds to elon. I’m not so interested in US markets anymore and i can imagine this will have a lasting effect on investor confidence and companies bottom line.

    What confuses me is if you steal all the money and destroy the stock market and USD in the process, what do you even do with the stolen wealth?





  • This is the big news lol. He’s put the worlds faith in the US financial system at the brink of destruction. They are slowly winding it back for huge financial gains for insider traders. When the world is tired of being scammed they will abandon us at best. Attack us at worst.

    But yes inbetweem this news he is still erasing minorities from history books, arresting tesla protestors. Supreme Court voted 9-0 against his deportation, so he’s still doing a constitutional crisis. He is still supported by a lame congress who can only rubber stamp his bad ideas into law. So ya the normal stuff is still in the background but we’re all starting to wonder if the great depression has arrived.








  • Oh I know, we live in a world full of Nazi double-speak. I want to verbally headbutt people too. Not enough time in the day to sort through everyones words and intentions, so it’s easy to make quick judgements. I’ve been pro-palestine and vocal about the conflict for 20 years. I can relate to all the kids who are passionate about it now, because it reminds me of me 20 years ago. I can also see the cause being high-jacked by bad actors. You are clearly not one, but you have to set a good example for the younger kids. Having followed the changing dialogues for over 20 years between all the involved nations, there are good ways to talk about this and bad ways. If we want change we need to change the messaging and focus the energy on meaningful realistic changes.

    I don’t know if I can ever forgive the “genocide Joe” crowd who seem to be okay with genocide if trump does it for a hotel.




  • See, now that was really well spoken. I can’t argue with any of that. You’re absolutely right. This a compelling arguement I can get behind. That is a much better way to point out the hypocrisy, and voice your frustration. This makes me want to support palestine. The former makes me want to support Isreal. I really hope that the pro-palestine crowd can learn to temper their anger and strengthen their arguments like you just did. Well done. This is one of those internet interactions that left me with a smile.
