  • The capital comes from the profits from other markets. Which comes from exploiting workers. The original investment didn’t just spontaneously expose itself, people chose to flow money into it. They’ll pay for the next bubble with the profits C-suit executives stole from their workers and the little guy. They will take what should have been yours and bet it away on some fever dream that was doomed to fail from the beginning. All in the hopes that they might make their wealth get more outrageously excessive before this bubble bursts and they try again on the next.





  • Nothing is wrong with you, the job market is a hellscape. It’s a job posting written by AI being applied to by AI. Most entry level jobs get thousands of applications when a few years ago it was only a few dozen. You literally can’t compete in that. My suggestion is network. Goto job faires and meet people who are looking for or match people to jobs.


  • Much easier said than done. Some people have a difficult time accepting that their children are adults with different opinions. My Dad still sees me as the little boy he raised, sometimes that’s nice and I treasure it. Sometimes it’s still the most frustrating thing in the world. I’m fortunate that my parents haven’t fallen down the MAGA pipeline but they’re definitely more conservative than they were 5 years ago. I couldn’t educate my Dad on anything, he just doesn’t see me that way. Mind you I don’t have to, I’m fortunate.

    My point being, for some people their relationship with their parents will never go both ways but that’s okay. They’re your parents and it’s one of the relationships that rarely is symmetrical. My Dad is my father, I’m his son, and I’ve learned to accept the relationship we have (which is pretty good) rather than get upset about the few problematic beliefs he holds. For people who are not as fortunate as me, zero contact might be the answer. Sometimes it’s okay to accept things that aren’t perfect.








  • It’s almost like the Republicans are using the Epstein files as a way to distract everyone from them taking cudgel to the foundation of democracy and the Democrats are playing right into it. What if the files were released today, would any representative or senator really see any consequences? Would any of them sit before a judge? Will it be something else for them to yell at each other instead of addressing the real elephant in the room, the governments abject failure at governing. Cause you know, we could just believe the survivors. I trust them over anything the government releases at this point.



  • It doesn’t matter, Trump can legally do whatever he wants, he’s a king. 1/3rd of the population of America believes that Trump can rule unilaterally. The other 2/3rds are scared of the first and they should be. Trump and MAGA have the executive branch, the judicial branch, the legislative branch, the armed forces, law enforcement, immigration enforcement, and wall street in their side. They only group not on Trump’s side is the general public and it should be pretty obvious now that he doesn’t have any use for the general public. Trump won. He’s king of The United States of America, I suggest you start to think about what you’re going to do about it.
