DOGE gutted SSA, IRS, directly affecting seniors and other vulnerable people getting checks, gutted CFPB taking away fraud protection, not to mention gutting of USAID which caused countless deaths, though I'm sure you…

There's a vague correlation between wind direction and sailing speed, but there's nothing real here. The mechanics of sailing upwind, downwind, or the cost of tacking are interesting mechanics that aren't explored here…
Reading titles like these makes me feel like I'm having a stroke.
I had the same mindset about wanting to be good at a lot of things, working on myself, not "wasting time", but now in my mid thirties I figured that if I really wanted to do something, I'd be actually doing it, and a…
To who? There's no immediate benefit of holding a stock that doesn't pay out beyond voting rights, or a fraction of company assets. As parent said, you're just hoping to sell it to somebody down the line for more. It's…
Every time I try to explain this to people I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. Even more frustrating to hear, otherwise reasonable, market analysts say that "dividends don't matter because the stock value goes down…
It didn't already happen. As you pointed out, people who funded the purchase of Twitter hold SpaceX shares, and this IPO is how they get their money back.
People who helped Elon buy Twitter want their money back. After all the share-swap acquisitions X shares are now SpaceX shares.
Europe is dealing with the US, just not via empty threats on social media. Things take time when you have a functioning democratic system with checks and balances.
It's there any evidence that trading off of headlines works long-term?
Sounds a lot like what Musk does, except maybe that Musk uses his companies to outright bail himself out.
I think you underestimate how little economic pressure matters when people are up against an invader who attacked amidst negotiations for bogus reasons, threatened total annihilation, and killed thousands, including a…
Beside posturing, modern China was only involved in skirmishes at the Indian border. What's delusional is blindly comparing China to Russia or the USA.
Russia is keeping their expensive equipment in the back since years now because they're afraid to lose it. They would be fire bombing cities if they could. Russia already used white phosphorous in this war. The only…
Thanks Joe Rogan.
Thousands dead, millions displaced, Hegseth just quoted "Pulp Fiction" at a sermon, but perhaps this might make enough Europeans fed up with the US.
Hardly a surprise. This crack team of negotiators couldn't make Russia budge an inch after a year of negotiations, and only managed to put pressure on the victim country.
Hilarious. Trump didn't agree to let Iran have control of the strait in a desperate attempt, they just can't find the mines, because if they could, the strait would have been open by now. This is funnier than when Vance…

It's safe to assume nothing has actually changed until there's a signed deal. With Trump it's all just talk.
Bitcoin is in a side trend. It's slightly up because it follows the equity market. Nothing indicates an increased demand yet.
The talks are theater. Trump is running around like a headless chicken, so it may look like a lot of "diplomacy" is happening, but if you look at the Iranian side, they remain in control over the strait, and their…
There's no ceasefire until Israel stops attacking. Iran retains control over the strait, and their demands haven't changed. Nothing's new other than Iran is ready to sit at the negotiating table because Trump caved-in…
I will side with any country that's being illegally attacked, and whose population is being illegally targeted, thank you very much. Sovereignty is fundamental, it's been broken. The state of Iran is the result of US…
