The existence of publishers for scientific literature is completely unnecessary in the modern era. They exist only to make profits to continue their existence. They don’t actually provide value anymore when research institutions can just conduct peer review and then let researchers self-publish.

They create negative value (a bottleneck) by limiting who can access research for just… aggregating and hosting articles.

If I wasn’t so sure Trump actually thinks the tariffs are great and popular, I’d say he’s trying to sabotage Vance’s presidential aspirations in the event Trump can’t hold office. That’d be pretty smart.

It was just a joke. But deleted since it was in bad taste.

That’s the one book on basic economics they might actually read though. Fuck thomas sowell

Wait you mean Tow Glhvartz didn’t write it? Next you’re going to tell me it isn’t “Domale’s inside look at his lime of fomim sun thant the om curayer”

Basically it is a “technical analysis” thing. Which basically means divination based on “shapes stonk line make”.

Death cross scary shape when stonk line cross other line

I agree about windows maintenance. Mint has been easier and more stable than windows for me. The biggest hurdles were getting it set up - partitioning, mounting drives, etc. In windows that just happens.

But, actual day-to-day operation? Much easier in Mint.

Trump is not an employee of Nvidia or Apple. He didn’t have privileged information about those companies. He just manipulated macroeconomic factors that affected the price of those stocks.

For the record, the term “Insider Trading” is being misused in many posts to describe what Trump did with the tariff rug-pull. He manipulated the markets in an illegal way, just like how Elon has been sued by the SEC/FTC for making (usually) misleading/false public statements to cause changes in the price of his stocks.

Market Manipulation - deceiving investors by artificially distorting the market (like by causing mass investor panic by threatening to destroy the US economy and start a global trade war).

Insider Trading - making stock trades based on privileged/non-public information because you or someone close to you knows something privileged about a company.

So, Trump did what Elon did, but for every US-listed stock (and most globally listed stocks too). I think it might be the largest securities fraud in the history of the stock market.

Making trades based on undisclosed information about tariffs could potentially be insider trading though.

Not insider trading, no. It is market manipulation though and should probably be punishable by the largest SEC fine in history ^but ^it ^won’t

Oh sure. But the dual citizens bit is especially egregious. Like you have to pay a fee just to keep your citizenship even if you aren’t using any US service bc you live somewhere else.

It’s called anchoring

Funny enough, the US levies income tax against dual citizens living abroad.

Because we have an extremely strong propaganda machine enforcing the status quo and are also a very geographically dispersed country. The news media in America has a long history of under-reporting protest movements here.

Maybe they could try an unpaid internship to get experience first

Just a note that this appears to be an AI generated image. Note the dude up front with an arm coming out of his back. Unless thats a whole jamon iberico that he has stuffed under his jacket, in which case I’d stand corrected.

Am I crazy or does that 2-toed sloth have 4 digits on its left hand?

Edit: my leading theory is its back left leg is next to its left foreleg. So we’re seeing both finger and toenails.
