Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is not about China. This is about private equity being so desperate for money they want new laws that allow the shadow PE banking system access to government money. Tax payer money.

Be very careful around this topic. Reading headlines isn't going to cut it and this is very dangerous territory.

The house of cards needs money urgently. Your money and they are done asking nicely.

Not just tax payer money, your money, your personal savings.

They're going to burn it all and then oh too bad, it's too big to bailout so fuck you American people! Keep working in servitude till you die at your post.

No shit it's not about China. The China argument has whatever threat level is convenient at the moment, which is why we couldn't possibly give any chips to China, until actually Nvidia kind of wants to send chips to china because they want that money too. If it was a real threat, the messaging would have any sort of fucking consistency.

Hey, it's a tradition, and you don't want to be the turd in the punchbowl.

Forget about the money, alright? It's not going to matter in the coming years, so let us take it now and use it, as we best know how.

Don't you worry about a thing. It will all work out.

Ideally with the poors dying out, and being replaced by robots, but we can't always have nice things immediately.
