I'm in a meeting right now learning about how our team in China is upset about [NASDAQ 100 company] publicly banning sales in Russia | |||
It's actually really interesting | ||||
They see Ukraine as the Taiwan that won't fall in line and are worried that [company] will punish them if China ever took action in Taiwan | ||||
Spoiler: [company] totally would | ||||

Early in the conflict there was (apparently) a Russian helicopter with a hand-painted sign, "Onward to Berlin". Whether or not that was the actual plan, it doesn't seemed to have worked out for that particular aircraft. |

/u/JonStewart Like I was saying to u/ButtFarm69, as the great Dr. King said, the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice. What they don?t tell you is there will be very powerful forces trying to bend it back. Even incremental change in a positive direction for a fairer market is arduous but worthwhile. Building those coalitions and having the clarity of vision and tenacity of temperament to see them through is an enormous challenge. So when I say stamina, I don?t mean investing strategies. I mean the larger goal of creating a free market system that is more efficient at generating wealth at all levels, not just the top, and minimizing the collateral damage for those caught in its wake, not just a protection racket for those whose carelessness creates so much of the hazard. What you guys are doing is brilliant and important and fragile. Your voices, the voices of the average investor, have shifted the conversation in positive ways. Don?t let the institutions speak for you. Looking forward to seeing what happens next! |

/u/JonStewart Power to the People, Mother Fuckers! Let?s do this! I feel like for the longest time this country has treated capital better than labor. It would be a huge plus if the country could swing that pendulum back a little bit. |

/u/jango_bets What do you think of the media's coverage of GameStop in regards to short selling? |

/u/JonStewart Look, I like my news like I like my coffee, with a tremendous amount of condescension. Any disruptive movement of proles shaking up the status quo, you have to remember the financial media are in many ways more aligned with the interests they cover. The GameStop movement was always going to be viewed through the lens of it being an oddity, even without all the jizz memes. |

#275: Why are we surprised by the inevitable? | Surplus Energy EconomicsALIGNING EXPECTATION WITH POSSIBILITY Why is the world at large so often "surprised" when the materially impossible doesn't happen? In economics, the consensus line - a narrative shared by government, business and, for the most part, the general public - is that the economy will carry on growing as we shift from climate-harming fossil fuels... |
