significant counterparty risk

  • Noooooorm!

    My man.

  • Aw damn I thought this was gonna be Bill Ackman with May I Meet You :/

  • owing to a slight miss on revenue

    Nope, try again.

    spending surged 66% to $37.5 billion in the latest quarter ... approximately 45% of the company’s $625 billion in remaining performance obligations (RPO)—a key measure of future cloud contracts—is tied directly to OpenAI

    Ding ding ding! That's right, OpenAI, the company where being profitable is a physical and mathematical impossibility!

  • I didn't know where to put it :/

    I also put it in shitposting on .world and, you may or may not be surprised, but those brave enough to comment sided with the Epsteiners over the Bunch of Lads ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • All your data are belong to us.

  • No. Your initial comment is whataboutism. The cartoon is not.

  • This cartoon is about Ukraine.

  • It's so funny to see capitalism trying to cover it's ass. Since when does having a great harvest translate to free food for everyone? Gimme a break. The reason those 4 million kilos of potatoes are being given away is that the capitalist who was holding the futures contract for these potatoes decided to take a loss instead of have the potatoes delivered to market, since the price of potatoes would not have yielded him a profit. The point of capitalism is to yield a profit, even for life's basic necessities. In this case, it wasn't even the futures trader that arranged the giveaway- it was the people who did. The trader didn't plant or harvest a single potato, but he was placed in charge of four million kilos of food. It really goes to show that we don't need these people at all- we can manage much better without them.

    Auto-translation of linked article:

    Try to imagine a quantity of four million kilograms of potatoes. Four million kilograms - that’s 4000 tons, the weight of 800 adult elephants, stacked as high as the Berlin TV Tower. It’s a lot that could fill hundreds of thousands of people.

    These potatoes are stored in the halls of a farm south of Leipzig, neatly sorted, cool and dry, best food quality. And they have a problem: no one wants them.

    The story of these potatoes is a story about the absurdities of our food system. A trader had ordered the harvest, but when the potatoes were harvested and stored, it was clear: the supply on the market is greater than the demand. The market price had fallen, the offer too big. What is no longer profitable for trade becomes a burden for the producer. Financially, everything was settled, but the potatoes remained.

    Shortly before Christmas, I received an email from Ecosia, a search engine we had just reported on. Ecosia is the Berlin company that plants trees with its advertising revenue – over 200 million worldwide. Chief Financial Officer Wolfgang Oels wrote that there is contact with a farm south of Leipzig that has to destroy 4000 tons of potatoes. “Do we, as Berliner Morgenpost and Ecosia, want to make this a joint action?”

    We can. We want. And we need your help.

    The largest potato rescue in the city

    The plan is simple: Ecosia finances the transport from Saxony to Berlin. The Berliner Morgenpost helps to organize the free distribution.

    We are looking for distribution points throughout the city: parishes, schools, sports clubs, neighborhood initiatives, social institutions or private individuals. Each collection point receives one ton of potatoes, free of charge, to distribute to all who can use them (Agria variety, firm cooking!). They can help distribute - and show together with us what is possible if we treat food for what they are: valuable.

  • You can make so much money defending the use of watch lists to track anti-Israel protestors in the US.

    It doesn't say much about watch lists but it does say a lot about what it takes to become wealthy.

  • What were the answers?

  • Well we got Biden into office because he was the only one that could beat Trump and defeat MAGA fascism forever, right?

    The US has, at the very best, a 4 year break from Zio-MAGA fascism (if we make it to 2029), but imo the curtain is already closed.

  • They tried their best :(

  • It's great!

  • Oh god, did anyone listen to it? I kind of want to know what Klein's take is but I kind of don't. Ezra Klein is like if comedy is supposed to make you furious.

  • Finally, someone with some common sense!
