Ed Zitron mentioned in his podcast that apparently during the crypto boom Nvidia claimed that all of the GPUs being sold for crypto purposes were for the "gaming" market. It's not illegal, but a very bad accounting practice. They were slapped by the SEC for it. I imagine right now there's some other "creative accounting practices" going on right now and they are getting ahead of it before their shit gets rocked. I don't believe for a minute this is really what's going on.
So when no one can afford to buy the Mcmansions that Boomers are forced to sell to pay for end of life care, and the only people who can afford to buy them are the most wealthy and fucking Blackrock, that market is going to crash crash crash. Maybe around the same time the AI bubble pops. Maybe we'll get 2008 and 2001 at once!
I'm convinced that the world cup is not going to happen here. I know FIFA is like the most corrupt organization ever, but if their athletes can't even get in to the country what's the point? Don't chuds specifically hate soccer because it's like gay, or European or some shit?
I have a lot of cousins who married guys who like sports betting. Every family function I see them at they look increasingly miserable. My pet theory is that they are all losing a lot of money gambling. Just a theory, but it feels like this shit is just ruining people's lives.
Talked to my coworker who is Venezuelan. Their take was glad that Maduro is gone, but understand that it was under terrible circumstances, MAGAzuelans are awful, but the pro-Maduro people are also awful and they are all white so they don't understand the situation. Unfortunately, I don't really argue because I'm a white guy and I have to work closely with this person.
I think he's probably dying and doesn't give a shit anymore
