Oh what's that? Couldn't find people to screw those tiny screws?

I love that he claims that "math can't be trusted" clearly because he can't understand it but it disproves his world views so therefore it must be lying.

When I told my father, who has been using computers since the MS-DOS days and is by no mean technology-illiterate, that I switched to Linux, his response was "What's Linux?".

I knew it was a lost cause to explain him about privacy, or control and ownership of his own device. He uses Windows 11 and as long as it does what he needs it to do he will never care enough about switching over.

Looks like a German bunker on Omaha Beach to me

A good part of the Southern US economy was originally based on slave labour and since its abolition the business culture and mentality never moved on from it. They've just found new ways to have cheap labour that they can exploit to different levels. Immigrants, "unskilled" workers, rented prison labour... Now that the immigrant workers are being kicked out, they're looking for replacements to fill the gap.

It absolutely is a gamble, a dangerous gamble. Essentially, when you short a stock, you "borrow" a stock from someone with the promise of giving it back at a certain time. You then sell it, wait for it to drop, then buy it back. You give it back, usually sharing some of the profits you've made with the person you've borrowed it from.

The problem with that is that if the stock goes up while you've borrowed it, you need to buy it back at the deadline of the deal at the price it happens to be at. Unlike normal stock trading where you can only lose up to the money you've invested, there is no limit to how much money you can end up losing shorting stocks if things don't go the way you expected. This is how the whole GameStop stock shorting debacle happened.

Real reason: His "advisers" cashed out from shorting the stock market and bought stocks back.

When he says he's going to "pause" the tariffs that means that they're coming back just like it happened to Canada. He's going to jerk off the world economy like that for as long as he's in power.

IDK if it's a pump and dump scheme but it sure does look like it. Meanwhile the world will decouple itself from the US economy.

I bet his tariff-loving aides have shorted a bunch of stocks and are making hand over first right now.

Only $4000 for the entry model. That's how much it costs once the tariffs on the semiconductors that you simply cannot produce in the country for at least 10 more years even if you tried has been covered, the salaries high enough to motivate people to willingly work the assembly lines now that immigrant workers are gone, and the markup needed to cover the cost of completely creating an entire supply chain from scratch as well as paying back the insane debt that results from the outrageous high risk investments this would require and that frankly no investor would want to touch with a 10 foot pole.

Now more than ever should be a good time for anyone who hasn't done it yet to watch Schindler's List. I think everyone should watch this movie. Boring historical facts and statistics do not convey it the way the movie does.

It's a sign of greed. Musk wants to sell his Teslas and doesn't care about stepping all over Trump's "plans" for it.

I can't wait to see his reaction to that.
