  • To be totally honest, this isn’t about stock market gamesmanship to me–I’m not trying to buy the dip over the next few days. (If anything I’m waiting for the AI bubble, which I personally believe is bigger than the .com bubble, to blow the fuck up.)

    Between incompetent idiots and assholes running everything, ridiculously inflated stock prices, meme stocks and market manipulation, on-again-off-again trade war bullshit, and the AI bubble, I’m happy to have my money out of the market. I have zero faith in the people who are running our economy to do anything worth investing in, and I’ll be perfectly happy to find alternative means of investing over the next 2-4 years.

    Frankly, I’m sick of putting almost my entire life savings in the hands of corporations and the delusional k-holed fucknuts like Musk who run them. It’s a bonus that I’m no longer the shameful owner of bullshit ETFs and company shares that serve only to enrich and empower the richest corporate oligarchs.

    I’ve lived through multiple crashes already, maybe I’ll hop back into the stock market during the next one, or maybe not because fuck this whole system.












  • Aside from Trump, you must be the dumbest person in any room if you think rewarding Russia for invading Ukraine is a good move. History has shown those of us who know it that imperialist conquest must be met with all kinds of forceful opposition.

    It was already a mistake for the world (including the US under Obama) for not pushing back hard when Russia took Crimea, and it would be an even bigger one to let them take another huge slice of Ukraine today.

    Ukraine has paid their fair share in this war–they have paid with the blood of their people. But dumbfuck Trump is so desperate to give his “buddy” Putin a win here, and to join in the shakedown of Ukraine for “mineral rights” that wont mean fuck all when Russia continues his campaign and takes the rest of the country. Like seriously, what fucking good will all those minerals be worth when they end up within Russia’s borders?

    It’s the dumbest plan of all time, it’s a shakedown of a nation that has already been invaded, and if we give up on Ukraine it will ultimately lead to a broader war that Europe and USA will have to fight themselves, because there will be no Ukrainians left to fight on our behalf.

    This is the darkest moment in American geopolitical history. We can’t even pretend to be a country of values or valor anymore. We’re a pathetic country of greedy short-sighted cowards in ill-fitting business suits and we are inviting the war to us.
