xhitter down so bskyfin it is. Still too orderly to be the big one imho.

This thread needs amplification. The guy looking for fRaUd is literally funneling gov't $ to his own failed product.

Might be early but feels like the NFL and the Super Bowl have jumped the shark.

Some would say a military flyover for a game played in a dome might be an example of actual govt waste.

Tesla getting the Xitter treatment. Couldn't happen to xittier guy or car.

Econ 101 - ignore whatever Powell says about the strength of the US economy and just follow the chart of $PII that will tell you how the US consumer is really doing. Might be interesting in the teens in 2026-27

FWIW - AOC's media blitz means she's already running for 2028

The smartest guys in tech who don't have a financial incentive to push AI continue to sound alarms "AI simply being better at mundane things than the average human will cause carnage." "We are super fd" I guess 20-40 million jobs at risk in the US and many of those late career/high salary jobs

Just leaving this here for future generations bc hopefully the other app is gone by 2028. 2028 prediction: Vance/Rogan vs AOC/Hasan. The VP debate might turn into a pay-per-view deadlift competition but I'm here for it.

"well, if we don't communicate health risks to the public they can't blame me like they did with covid when I just tell them to drink bleach. I still think that would've worked. Have we tested that any further? Elon will you drink some bleach for us?" 1600 Pennsylvania Ave tonight (probably)

Most likely scenario - By 2026-27 we will hit 7% unemployment, official recession and 40-50% decline in stocks. But Trump's inner circle will tell him he's killing it because they are scooping up assets for pennies on the dollar.

I'm not sure I'm ready for 4 years of headlines screaming "TRUMP SAYS.....(insert lie here)" again 🤢

Most bubblicious IPO description of 2024: The company provides caviar and caviar-based gourmet products. #IPO #Stocks

If you want to see the cesspool that all social media will become post Meta's decision to drop content moderation - look at the comments on xitter regarding the devestating LA fires. Vile commentary without an ounce of sympathy for fellow Americans.

So we all left Xitter for obvious reasons and now Meta/IG is heading down the same path. What's the solution? Leaving all social media?

You don't have to worry about accountants questioning your illiquid PE investments if you sign their paychecks.

For all the talk of Trump, Santa rallies, etc. The market is now up about 1% since the close on the day after the election. Still think there is a little upside when flows improve after 1/1 but we're getting really close.

Don't want to take all the credit but whoever ran with this idea, it's gaining traction. Well done.

Can't wait for JPow to tell me how wrong I am and inflation is contained. Unfortunately, no one is telling corporate America. Just paid my first 2025 health insurance premium - Up 25%. Also paid January monthly parking - Up 15%

For those trying to keep up at home - Al Qaeda got their Zelensky makeover (complete with green fatigues) so they're cool, but ISIS is still bad. Our level of interference in a country 99.999% of Americans couldn't find on a map is inexcusable but very on-brand for the US in the 21st century.

Me: In December government "collapses" - France, Germany on the verge - Canada Impeached - S. Korea Combined that's 10% of Global GDP With Trump and his motley crew of addicts ready to take over 25% of global GDP Markets: To da MOOOON!!!

Everything about this is stupid. Not every govt service needs to be turned into a profit center. Some essential government services - like mail, FDA, USDA - serve to unite and protect citizens. This is a futher step on the path becoming a dysfunctional democracy.

There was a time when companies would avoid investing in rogue states that didn't follow international law, that actively sought to harm the enviroment and its citizens through lax regulations. In today's "Grift now, MAGA later" world companies like Softbank are lining up to throw $ at Frump. 😡

Let's get a rumor going that Elon is considered the REAL president and that people are bypassing Trump's inner circle to talk to the addict-in-chief. Mr. Insecurity would have Elon's security clearance revoked by dinner.

Fund managers 40x eps for a low end retailer and grocery store have clearly never been in one of these stores ($WMT).

It might be a day or two — or potentially longer — before health officials in DRC can determine what is the cause of an outbreak in a remote part of the country where 382 cases, 79 of them fatal, have been reported. Samples had to be transported >500 km for testing. www.statnews.com/2024/12/05/m...

Okay, now that we're all here people need to start posting. Happy to be away from xitter but bluesky feels like the gym everyone signed up for but no one actually visits.

This is just Bezos trying to figure out why you have 3 items in your cart and you have yet to click buy it now despite the fact that you've been reminded 619 times that its CYBER Monday.

The last thing NYC is another Bloomberg Democrat as mayor. Tilson is a non-starter in the primary.

Are these the sort of headlines you see at the start of a bull market or right at the end? Chinese entrepreneur Justin Sun -- founder of the cryptocurrency platform Tron -- bought a banana for $6.24 million worth of crypto at a Sotheby's auction Wednesday evening in New York.

Free business idea for anyone who wants to unseat google... Deliver search results just like google but if the link requires a login or subscription to read the story it appears in red. Links that take you to the actual story (like the OG internet) appear in green. Profit. Or better yet, don't

1. California's Dept of Public Health reports a #birdflu case in a child with no known contact with infected animals. They're looking into possible wild bird exposure. Oddly, the press release doesn't say which type of bird flu (there are many). I'm assuming #H5N1. Specimen being sent to #CDC.
