The mega-Walmart has cops (as in, real man employed by state with gun and license to kill, cops) posted by the entrance. That advice is a great way to have a real bad day lol
They’re acting useless so they are given less work in the future. Realistically these are teenagers working close to minimum wage that probably don’t plan on rising through the ranks so who cares if their performance review is ass.
What are you gonna do, fire them? (This is a rhetorical question, because the answer is so often “no” which, combined with their wages, results in this feigned helplessness)
It is quite impressive how China has bootstrapped a modern Navy in such little time. From purchasing and refitting an obsolete Soviet ramp-based carrier, to a modern fleet carrier that surpasses US capability in what, 2 decades?
The Koreans basically got unlimited tech transfer and engineering support from the US via the KDX program to try the same thing, and after 30 years they’ve produced what is basically an Arleigh Burke destroyer from the 80s.
It’s little wonder USN admirals have kind of been losing their shit publicly lately. They know they have been surpassed.
We are going to see headlines of US carrier groups sinking to the bottom of the sea in our lifetimes.
Yessss. In my area the food bank is basically powered by corporations donating their imminently-expiring food, rotating out the entire store. Whole Foods, Chick Fil A, WalMart, pallets and pallets of food, enough to keep a literal warehouse filled.
Gallons of restaurant soup in frozen bags straight from their supplier. 13 Dr. Peppers per person. Fuck it have 3 pounds of celery. An entire grocery bag filled with random donuts from the bakery lmao
Individuals helping is good. But in comparison, money can fund the cold storage warehouse. The reefer trucks that carry it around to distribution centers. The wages all those workers are paid. The advocacy and advertising and outreach. Money!
I’m literally funding a revolution by investing in China so I will continue sitting on my ass awaiting the destruction of America to join the organization in the rubble thank you very much
You see, dear investor, there is no bubble. We would never do such silly things such as pour hundreds of millions into startups that did literally nothing. We all learned our lesson after the 90s Asian financial crisis spilled into the dotcom bubble spilled into the subprime mortgage bubble spilled into zombie economy of worsening quality of life and increasing stock prices spilled into the everything bubble spilled into the… why no, there is no bubble!
Imagine being born in the West with your lifetime coinciding exactly with its complete collapse
Imagine being born in China with your lifetime coinciding exactly with its meteoric rise into becoming not only the worlds most dominant society, but also the best one to live in, for the foreseeable future of human history
Their ancestors who fought as heroes in the great patriotic wars of the 20th century must be smiling at the future they fought to secure
Oh look, a leftist that actually understands how labor gets shit done instead of calling everything a bullshit email job
Use this knowledge wisely! There’s potential for huge profits by investing against the capitalists. And taking money from capitalists is objectively praxis
If it makes you feel better, the planet is in a climate feedback loop right now and the worldwide ecosystem is in complete collapse, and will get exponentially worse in our lifetimes, causing worldwide conflict over water, arable land, and livable area, and everyone is just pretending it’s not going to happen
After the collapse, it will not be possible to regain access to modern tech trees because all the resources close to the surface were mined away 200 years ago, and we would lack the engineering base and industrial capability to manufacture the tools needed to reach those resources, not to mention those resources would be needed to develop those precursors anyway
We will return to monke. No credit scores. No power plants. No smartphones. Just farmers.
This is incredible news. No leftist that has ever been born since the death of Marx has done more for leftism than Comrade Trump. With every breath he deals a fatal blow to the American and Western empire.
It is clear Western leftism has proven itself completely nonexistent, ineffective, and successfully disenfranchised. Comrade Trump is claiming eternal glory by destroying not only the United States of America, but the entire West in only 8 years. Long may he reign!
You could mess around trying to exclude big tech like some wacky S&P 500 ex-tech fund or try to overweight small and mid cap. That’s if you absolutely must hold US though.
For me about 70% of my portfolio is a world index with overweight on international. 60% VTI + 40% VXUS or equivalents. This is considered overexposure to international by conventional US investors.
The other 30% is all-in on China via MCHI. I’m edging towards increasing international and China exposure and reducing US. The US large caps are fundamentally overvalued so I’ll probably do this soon. Just hard to make that mental jump even though the material analysis says so.
To be clear, this is a risky strategy. All the major players and investors worldwide are adamant there is no AI bubble, and no US bubble, and China will never pay off or grow.
It’s just about what you’re willing to risk to say you’re right and they’re wrong. Safest choice is VT and chill.
