It doesn’t make sense to use automobiles. Imagine having to build out paved roads everywhere and also set up stations along these roads to refuel. Just completely impractical.

We should do an uno reverse and nationalize wells fargo.

They’re totally pissing.

Isn’t this the second time they’ve had to recall nearly every single cybertruck (which couldn’t be fixed with an over-the-air update)? The first was for an issue with the accelerator pedal getting stuck, from what I remember. Is it just tesla/musk fanatics buying these up? I can’t imagine anyone else finding this vehicle appealing, from the terrible aesthetics to the severe design issues and all for a high price. I assume tesla fanatics are the only reason the stock price hasn’t cratered either, but maybe reality will catch up someday.

I’m not surprised. Border enforcement, like all law enforcement entities, do more to hassle harmless actions than stopping harmful ones. They’re the wrong group to handle the fentanyl epidemic anyway. That should be the job of proper drug rehabilitation programs.

I’m just happy to get rid of that shit.

I don’t use those products/services anyway except for amazon a handful of times a year (usually spending slightly over the free shipping minimum each time). I take the approach of minimizing my spending in general. If everyone had spending habits like me, the economy as we know it would collapse overnight.

Do you think the market is supposed to only go up?

A ~5% drop isn’t the stunning drop that you think it is. Pointing this out doesn’t make me a Russian troll. I’m speaking as someone who is extremely pessimistic and who wants the stock market to drop a lot more.

Okay:

Are you new to the stock market? A ~5% drop is nothing.

“tanks”

Das ist sehr, sehr gut.

This is why I refuse to buy eggs until prices go down to normal. I’m not going to reward them for taking advantage.

So much delicious food on display, I have to hold myself back from buying too much every time.

Getting paid to shit AND shitpost? That’s winning right there.

The company I work for likes to hold a meeting every quarter to tell employees how the company is doing and they love to talk about the stock price as if we’re supposed to care. Executives get rewarded with shares, not us, we’d have to actually use our own money to buy shares and the number of shares we’d be able to buy with our own salaries would be meager by comparison. Still, they proudly boast about share buybacks, while if you look at the publicly-available data, the execs are selling tons of shares (not just for tax purposes). So they’re using company funds to pump up the stock price while offloading their personal shares. Real inspiring leadership, really drives me to put in more effort so they can get a bigger payout while I and everyone else gets diddly squat.

When I stare at $8 in my hand and start thinking of how that could actually buy something 3 years ago.

Bird flu for the meats, tariffs for everything else (and probably affecting meats as well). I wonder how this will affect our food supply during Great Depression II compared to the dust bowl and tariffs in the first one.

Some days at work I’ve got only half-hour gaps between meetings. I don’t care how adept people are at taking meetings, no one is going to get proper thinking work done in those gaps. If it was repetitive work, sure, you could get back into the groove of things, but even that takes some wind up time. Even worse if you’re in-office and expected to attend the meetings in-person.

Like when reagan had the solar panels removed off the white house.
