Hands down, when someone is eating while using a handheld phone. No matter how hard you try, mics are designed to pick up audio from near your mouth, you WILL sound like a face hugger from Alien
Thanks for following up and sharing this; sincerely. There's not enough of this kind of emotive sharing with Gamestop. I agree that a lot of the 'movement' borders on being cult like in the blindly following kind of way.
I touch base on reddit monthly or so to keep tabs because the same thing you find sad, I find absolutely fascinating. All the dynamics at play...from shifts in sentiment, conspiracy-style interlopers, systemic corruption to the highest levels of bureaucracy, and sometimes actual information about the mechanics lubricating the movement of stocks and money.
I've been told I'm an emotionless rock though, so it might account for our differing perspectives on how people spend money.
Talking points: That bunch of retail traders made a bad choice and ego won't allow them to bail out. That it was 'luck' for a few people a few years ago.
It may have been a bad choice for you and that's why I wonder why you posted what you did instead of your own opinion baked through your own experience. More powerful words generally come from personal experience.
I'm not here arguing with you about the stock, it being a good/bad investment isn't what I'm on about. I guess I'm more hung up on why you said what you did.
Like, what was it that compelled you to post such a banal response to this post? It's so sad that people are holding stock in a company with a ton of cash, a motivated and aligned management team, and very little debt?
Sounds like you're painting a brush and saying that any person holding Gamestop makes you sad. It's a pretty broad assertion that, honestly, feels like it has a story behind it.
Just because a few people got lucky...? My dude, instead of parroting media talking points do the reading so you know what's actually keeping folks holding the stock.
I think from a global general-population perspective, if things don't go the right way there are going to be some very angry and disillusioned people. People who are already teetering on the brink of going from abject frustration to full-on rage. For one side, nothing short of a cease-fire will do (as a bare minimum); for the other side, anything imposed on them is a crime against humanity.
I feel like UN/ICJ know this, so they'll hedge their bets and swing for the middle. No matter which way it goes, some chunk of the general population is going to be let-down. Again.
I watched this a handful of days ago. It's pretty decent, and there was certainly info in there I didn't know. Some added context to current world events
Love how they get ahead of naysayers right up front by showing that the info being presented is known by anyone that's been through a mainstream seminary. Then differentiating between biblical scholars and pastors.
Not only did they say the quiet part, they went ahead and pulled the cloak from the dagger. Every statement and action seems to be in blatant disregard of public perception on the international level. Diplomatic and otherwise.
I remember being utterly flabbergasted by how overtly things were happening when this all started. "The blood oath must be kept" was the best reason I had then.
Thanks to the less bullyable entities you mentioned some definitive action might finally be taken.
I feel like this micro-news-cycle and news fatigue thing is exactly what they've been counting on, seems like they legit think this will all eventually blow over. People will forget, get bored, or get distracted by something new....
I also feel like the attention has been sustained longer than they would have liked but they're so balls deep into murder that its too late for the pull out game
