Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

"Only Israel is allowed to have nuclear weapons without telling the rest of the world."

Pretty much confirmation he has absolutely no cards when it comes to opening the strait but threatening war crimes.

His buddies already sold stocks so the crash can happen while the markets are closed for Easter and they can buy the dip Monday before he says he pulling out in 3 days again. I see no approaching reason why this will ever end.

Wellz the more he does it, the more he's burning allies and the more gas prices suffer, which is what destroys American politicians more than any other silly little crimes like rape, paedophilia or genocide.

If he plays too hard and loose, people might get angry enough that they face consequences. So far no indication of that happening.

Most of the large ai companies are still privately held by the wealthy. If he pops the bubble before they have a chance to leave retail investors holding the bag, then he might face consequences.

Corporate lending has already been moved to small investors and retirees. Since that is harder to liquidate and play with like stocks.

The little guys are already holding the bag.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry, do you mean small investors are lending to companies? Through financial products? That are highly exposed to ai?Or any bubbble? I don’t know that I’ve seen this reported. What are you referring to?

Private credit has been increasingly moving from something only hedge funds invested in, to retail investors and retirement funds. Like $3 trillion dollars worth. And it’s withdrawals are restricted by the banks, often to like 25% per year I think.

I'm sorry to hear this. I was hoping for better news this morning.

I'm ok with the fascism, reduction of our rights, human trafficking, pedophilia, rape, forced deportations, economic wars against our allies, bombing of civilians, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and bigotry against anyone that is not a cis het white man, but I draw a line at an American President cursing on Easter Sunday.

[–] coalie@piefed.zip 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The U.S. president wrote early Sunday morning on Truth Social that Tuesday would be “Power Plant Day” and “Bridge Day” for American forces selecting targets in the region, adding: “Open the Fin’ Strait, you crazy b**ds, or you’ll be living in Hell.”

“Praise be to Allah,” Trump concluded his first Easter Morning statement to Americans.

We are in World War 3, and it is accelerating.

Nah, " 'another intern' or staff member wrote it." would be my guess
