The stage where insider trading doesn't seem to be illegal anymore especially for politicians.

Either bailouts are on the horizon or Trump has promised something.

Only America judges success based on the stock market. It shocking how many people laud presidents and politicians based on share values. It's a false economy which could be crippled in 1 hour by one bad move
 
LOL the bankruptcy judge approved Hertz's stock sale. Finance's 1st Initial Bankruptcy Offering. They are literally allowed to sell worthless pieces of paper now.

FFS, if I invest in tulip bulbs, sure I'll go bankrupt but at least I'll have some tulip bulbs.
 
because it's funny, that's why.

No good place to put this since Peterson is Canadian, but this is an interesting dissection of his views on Hitler:

I'd like to say i am surprised but really i am not.

This is the world now. People like him making money saying crap like this. Incels and racists lap his crap up.
 
I see Ghislaine Maxwell has been arrested. If those allegations against her are true (and they certainly seem true based on multiple different people saying she facilitated/participated in sexual acts along with Epstein), then she deserves a long long prison time in a very non-white collar prison--none of this one prison for rich people, another prison for the poor crap.
 


What do people make of this?

I know that the people of the US get labelled as “gun nuts”, but surely numbers like this suggest people are legitimately concerned about things that are going on? Have the police failed them in dealing with the offshoots of looting from the peaceful BLM protests? Or is all this talk about “defunding the police” leaving a lot of people concerned?

Social instability always causes a run on guns, especially in the USA where it is easier to get a gun than a driver's license. Lot of first time buyers due to the pandemic + protests, but also for your average gun owner, the state of things might just help you rationalize why you need a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gun. What is crazy is just how many guns there are in the USA; most people have 0 guns, but a good fraction of the population has 2-10 guns. There is a lot of paranoia among gun-owners from imaginary enemies such as Antifa and Democrats, both of which are often used as excuses to arm oneself to the teeth under the guise that "they are coming for our guns."
