Taking performance enhancing drugs? Idk if that should even matter. Steroids are not going to change your skims, gross as they are.

I had a similar sort of thought but figured it was an automated thing, where they would buy or sell to manipulate the market price with the fund removed from the owners of stock.

Something like that could have made a fortune as the stock price was gaining and as such been able to manipulate the shit out of the stock price and fuck short Sellers and everything.

I think there is a fundamental difference now, the government has bailed out stocks twice in 2008 and 2020. Moved Heaven and Earth with the fed and indirect injections of capital to prevent the rich from losing money. So these stock prices reflect tax dollars billing them out in the downturn.

No rational person would think that Tesla would command the majority of that market of autonomous vehicles, robots, or whatever. Especially not after their Flagship truck turned out to suck in like 20 different ways.

I don’t know if that is true to any degree. The Democrats were chosen by the donors to be weak. They will not enforce the law against the rich and connected, they would not enforce the law against Republicans that tried to end the Republic in all but name and set themselves up as a one-party State rigging elections promising to persecute the other side they fall falsely claimed were doing that.

Which is the president’s raison de etre, Biden and the Democrats abdicated their duty to defend the republic after the most egregious in your face attempt to kill it.

If that would not spur them to action nothing will. The party is broken. Not a single Challenger for president with four months to go with a candidate that never broke 30% approval rating and was roundly hated by all sides, that offered no substantive reform against a candidate running as reform in a time of anger and upheaval.

Pelosi handpicked her replacement as house Speaker without challenge, Schumer has not faced a single fucking challenge.

What the fuck is wrong with this party?

If the last 5 years has taught me anything, it is that stock prices are completely divorced from the realities of the fundamentals of business. It is a clown economy and more like a casino then an honest measure of what a stock is worth. Especially with tech.

AI is way overhyped, to a level we perhaps have never seen before, but I would not expect the stock prices too reflect that.

Look at Tesla. The intrinsic value was no more than 10 billion before he started sieg heiling on national TV and alienated half of the western world.

What will continue to drive the stock prices is the support or acquiescence of governments to it. Do you the United States and the rest that follow.

They do not see it like that, they think we have no choice and we’ll have to accept the position our betters decide for us. And why wouldn’t they? Three presidential elections in a row they have gotten the most unpopular worthless candidates possible in. And the same people that forced them are still in power in the party, still being shitty to the actual left that they cannot win elections without as they ratchet to plutocracy every election.

The thing is, the NSA already has all of this info, this is a new database they will be collecting that lower level people will have access to, it will be vulnerable to hackers, foreign intelligence, business groups, politicians. First off they’re going to use it to go after people protesting Israel Gauranfuckingteed.

But there is no bottom, there’s no end to it. And not only is this cynical piece of shit Gavin Newsome going to sign this piece of shit, he will probably be forced as the Democratic nominee to lose in 2028. Running SD Kindler gentler status quo of plutocratic rot and zero real reform. Backed by armies of influence agents and Bots online being shitty to anybody that wants a solid reform opposition.

If this guy was presidential material, he would have stood up in 2024 and taken the nomination from the universally unpopular Kamala.

The US governments including the state of California, and Silicon Valley are the cynical pieces of shit and we all know it. This is connecting everybody’s ID to their IP address to be cataloged and everything they do by a novel means.

A database that lower level government and politicians and muckity mucks in the business world and foreign intelligence agencies and hackers will be able to access.

Seems like the parents would have to be vetted to make that Proclamation and their identity connected to that IP for that to happen. So in reality this is a betrayal, in a way that makes it look like it’s not a betrayal so people like you can say no it’s not like that when it is.
