There are a lot of people who are “executives” and a lot of them (probably more than the avergage pop!) have mental heath issues.
I think the world is a better place if certain people aren’t in it. I don’t care how they are removed from the world and it’s fine if they remove themselves.
I tried that like three years ago with his rhetoric promoting violence, but the forum clearly didn’t want to reign him in.
I just now got to a place to address this. Not a fan of the violence. I’m silencing Bruce for a few days because I think the posting is uncalled for and has no place here. He has posted borderline things in the past that edge the line of too much so I don’t think a warning is necessary. I also don’t even think the silence will do anything. @NotBruceZ can you please tone down the threats of violence.

As do lots of their employees/victims
Some nice inflationary pressure just in time for Christmas!
It’s pretty clear at least to me he was talking about the ones who make 500x what their employees make
You’re definitely a bit off on your surroundings if you think that NBZ is saying or holding any opinion that is greatly different than yours or the forum at large. He’s just a bit more to the point without the coated frosting. I’d assume that it is why you appear confused on why he’s been allowed to post and the pushback he gets is either the “asks” to “simmer down the threats” or that he is really just saying x instead of y. I think he’s fine to post and here and seems pretty damn similar to you - but you are a bit nicer.
This case is pretty ridiculous. The Twitter board was all but required by law to accept this offer or risk being sued. And on the surface they would have a pretty terrible defense. “Yes the richest man in the world offered to drastically overpay for our shitty company, but you see he is an asshole.”
And yet that SHOULD be a perfectly reasonable defense. He lies constantly, never had any intention of honoring the agreement he signed, and now gets to be treated as a good faith actor by our lol legal system. It is absurd.
They’re always getting special treatment when they deserve the exact opposite.
On Friday, Chancellor McCormick said she would allow Mr. Musk’s lawyers to reargue their request to compel Twitter to collect and review documents from a more extensive date range.
Weird recession we’re in
Tom McParland, a New Jersey-based car-buying consultant who helps shoppers locate and purchase vehicles, said he is seeing a lot more luxury buyers interested in EVs, including those made by well-established brands like BMW. He said more customers also are paying for cars in cash or putting down sizable down payments.

It’s not a recession, it’s just a new Gilded Age.

Make of it what you will. This was new to me, I’d never heard of this as the Halloween Effect:
Here in America, the sell-in-May rule is usually called the Halloween Effect: The general assumption is that you won’t get back into the stock market until the end of October. In Britain, where the adage supposedly began, it’s slightly different: The saying goes, “Sell in May and go away, and don’t come back till St Leger’s Day.” The St Leger’s Day in question is the day of the St Leger’s Cup, the last of the five big races of the British summer horse-racing calendar, and a social bookend for the summer season. This year the St Leger is being run this Saturday, Sept. 10.
I doubt that this works in practice either. A lot of people trying to implement this in practice would still fuck it up.
Kardashian ETF?
Private equity doesn’t like to flow through ETFs. ETFs are public securities and subject to all kinds of annoying rules and regulations.

That’s actually been a thing for decades. I first heard of one about 20yrs ago. I had the same reaction then that you have now.

ah the old I’d like a car but I’m completely incapable of using the internet
well some people just don’t like making any decisions at all so that sort of thing will be around in the future too (though obviously nowhere near as many)
