TBH buying Gamestop stock for $300 and selling it for $3 reflects Gamestop's business model perfectly.
I’m afraid the fuck around and find out meme will happen to a lot of unexcpecting people in this case
So otherwise, what was already happening before this will continue to happen after this?
I mean it's pretty obvious that some new people are getting roped into this and many of them are going to be the suckers at the table.
Which, again, happens every day because the neoliberal capitalist order has made people so desperate for any relief they are willing to put their last $10 all on black. It important to continue to tell people to not put more into this than they are willing to lose, but posting about it didn't create the conditions that made it possible in the first place.
👍
I'm just trying to be mad online at exactly the right things in exactly the right amounts
:baby-matt:
Since this is Hellworld, I'm waiting for someone somewhere to offer people holding the bag after the bubble bursts, double their deflated stock values in exchange for transferring over their stock ownership, as long as they take it as GameStop store credit.
she has over $12 million and Raytheon loves her. thanks for torpedoing our last chance for managed decline asshole :warren-snake-green:
Capitalism is theft with rules (by her logic) and Liz Warren really wants to be the cop on that beat.
There are plenty of people out there who have done worse things but I have a special hatred for Warren because she pretended to be a leftist and completely fucked the closest thing to a leftist presidential candidate I'll probably ever see in america. I know it's electoralism but fuck that ghoul.
Eh, kneecapping Bernie was really a whole-party effort and she managed to get fucking zilch from Biden for her contribution lol. At this point I don't even hate her as much as I just find her pathetic.
Haha I'm definitely not laying 100% of the blame on Liz, she has nowhere near that power level. I'm just saying the fact that she pretended to be a leftist then acted very strongly against leftist interests makes me hate her more.
Yeah, I think that checks out. It's funny, thinking back to that Pete move it's pretty obvious the DNC thought Pete was their guy at the time.
How the fuck do people like her? Its mind boggling. Over and over she demonstrates not only how big of a fork tongued snake bitch she is but she says and does the dumbest shit I've seen in politics and yet somehow people keep supporting her.
Most of the people I know who like her are libs that are borderline soc dems but too well off to even be that. They want to feel morally superior to chuds but still want their class interests protected on a subconscious level, and do actually believe in meritocracy.
One of my coworkers is a really smart guy who does genuinely good hard work, but he wants a technocracy and believes in meritocracy because it worked for him.
I also know several radlibs who think she is the same as Bernie and argued with me about why would I not support the female progressive candidate.
Anecdotal but that’s all I got.
A lot of people don't actually give a fuck about policy they just pick somebody and go with it. The fact that she isn't an old white man probably attracted people who play politics in more of a cultural significance kind of way, though that obviously didn't help Kamala lol. I think there's also some sense to the idea that "progressive" messaging speaks to people. It worked for Obama. It even worked for Bernie up to a point, the only reason it fell short for Bernie and not Obama is that there weren't as many coordinated negative attacks from inside the party being leveled at Obama. Liz had at least a few boxes checked off for a certain type of voter, unfortunately that type of voter is more often than not a dumbass.
she literally was on the other side yesterday, it took her 24 hours to change her stance
Shifting her stance is literally the only thing she can be reliably counted on to do.
I swear to God you could build a massively successful political career by just doing the opposite of everything this woman does
What steps will the SEC take to ensure that securities markets better reflect prices that are in line with the intrinsic and fundamental value of underlying companies? a. Please describe the impacts of disorderly, inefficient, and unfair prices in securities markets on communities, consumers, workers, and investors.
This is a good bit.
Edit: No, seriously, I keep reading this and laughing harder.
Edit 2: :michael-laugh:
I have an idea to reduce speculation on the stock market. It's called bulldoze the stock market
Bulldoze the stock market? What would Adam Smith think of doing such a thing?
spoiler
He would passionately support the idea
Holy shit. Outtake that specific sentence and post it in the dunk tank. Jfc
:centrist:
Because that's what the workers care about. We want the price of securities to accurately reflect the intrinsic and fundamental value of the underlying companies.
Ugh, she’s right for the wrong reasons lmao. Business as usual for 🐍
Is there a position this woman doesn't triangulate herself into poorly?
She isn't triangulating, she has been holding this position for at least 15 years(some of her papers from 2004 etc.)
Edit: moral of the story, she is a bad politician and ruthless career climber. Also tries to create "fair" capitalism(doesn't exist but whatever), you shouldn't approach everything that involves her with remains of hatred from the primary
you shouldn’t approach everything that involves her with remains of hatred from the primary
watch me
Eh, I'm fine approaching her with residual hatred whether or not her political idiocy is internally consistent. And let's not forget that consistency is the hobgoblins of little minds.
only a neoliberal ghoul like this fucking fraud can run a campaign on being a "capitalist to her bones" & "anti wall st" and turn around and pull this when her constituents take it upon themselves to fuck over wall street.
Her constituents took it upon themselves to give her 3rd place in the primary
Nobody thinks she’s good at this point but radlibs
IT HURTS THE WORKERS
THE SAME WORKERS WHO THE HEDGEFUND BET AGAINST LOSING THEIR JOBS IN A PLAUGE SO THEY COULD BUY A NEW BMW
BMW
Aim higher. We're looking at "one of a kind 7 million dollar super car" kinds of rich, not, "Boomer who decided to take some extra money out of his 401k to get a nice car" rich
I know nothing about cars I didn't even know a 7 million dollar car existed god fuck them its probably a useless piece of shit too
7 is just a random number I sort of just tossed out, but there are indeed cars that cost multiple millions of dollars

A BMW is more on the 30~50k range
