    I'm struggling with this as well.  Trying to explain sound investing to my youngers.  And, this type is considered "Boomer" thinking by the youngers.

    A lot of young gens don't want to work for their money.  And that's fair, I guess.

    Yeah, I don't agree with your thinking here. The younger generation is just taking the rigged systems we shrugged our shoulders with and decided to change the game. We're seeing it in all facets of our society and that's a good thing. Adapt or die. 

     

    Fyi - CLOV and WISH up 25% before open

  2. It's truly sad that a large swath of our society voted for a man to change the rules of Washington and the country, applauding the destruction of every norm of the Presidency, built over decades of governance and experiences (for good and bad [mostly bad]). Flaunting the fact that Trump was doing so and eagerly awaiting the next attack from him on our society. And then here we are, in the wake of that mess, employing the same demeanor back at them. And they crumble. Feckless and snowflaky: The modern conservative.

    The delta was 8m iirc.  And that included a metric fuck ton of people who just couldn’t deal with Trump, single issue voters if you will. 

    That's a stat for the election. A few big things happened since, that luckily, chipped that away a bit. Regardless of percentage, they've earned our ire.

    I have no idea what you’re talking about here. 
     

    I’m just sitting here in scenic Galveston, TX, USA. Halftime of the Mavericks game and I’m looking for recruiting news. Looks like poor Donkey Cigars made the mistake of disagreeing with CR orthodoxy. He’s no sock of mine. Just another one of the other half of the country y’all despise here. 

    Third of the country. And we despise for a good god damn reason. A third of our nation is too dumb to realize they despise democracy while wrapping themselves in the flag and calling us traitors. Fuck you.

    I saw a post from a Qdiot on Facebook regarding an app called Telegram.  

     

    Oh she was a former Marine officer and her husband carried the Nuke codes for Trump and it still on active duty.  

    Telegram is just a messenger app but yes, they have moved a lot of discussion to open groups there

    I suppose the counter-argument to that would be “what makes you think it wouldn’t happen again?” 

    And I say that seriously. We’re trying to teach this lesson to the most unteachable people on the fucking planet.

    But won't it be a shorter response due to an immediate end vs. elongated turmoil while he is in prison til end? Or is the thought that you want a slow burn out in followers as promises of some reclaim to power lessen their meaning til the fringe is too small to worry about?

    Tempting as his execution may sound, that’s a horrendous idea. Do we really want to make a martyr out of that fucking clown? 

    I struggle with this. You want a defining response to this issue so that it doesn't happen again, but is life in prison somehow a better, modern solution?

    I think that we'd be way better off without the efforts of the professional race agitators.  This country is far more just and nowhere near where it was 100 years ago.  The Tulsa riot was a tragedy, but it has almost nothing to do with where we are today in terms of race relations.  Some folks seem to want to play that angle for political gain.

    Thank you for (not) answering honestly. I'll let everyone else take it from here.

    BIDEN: "...young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are, but they don't have lawyers, they don't have accountants..."

    IDK, it seems like his comments were a bit condescending to the Black business owners who have somehow managed to find legal counsel and accountants to help them run their businesses without the help of the the government.  

    Did you vote last election? If so, for who? Who would you vote for in 2024 to do better than Biden, especially on addressing current race relations in this country?
