Re: FTX Crypto Business Crash & Ponzi Scheme?

Not just on Crypto. Jim Cramer was bullish on Meta and had to apologize when that dropped. He was riddled in the media for that call As he should be. He is just another Louis Rukeyser. Nice suit and a time slot but I wouldn't trust their stock advice. Sam Bankman-Fried puts up -0- dollars for his b...

As a Canadian who has seen this guy run his mouth for 15 years. He is not necessarily who you want to invest with as his funds aren't really that competitive. His acumen in investing leaves a lot to be desired. He probably won't be losing all your money with him but you would be better off with an ...

Re: FTX Crypto Business Crash & Ponzi Scheme?

That is a bad precedent to set. I could see offering that deal to a much lower level participant but she and the other employee need to spend some time in prison. Otherwise, you could be the number 2, live large and then turn on the boss and skate with no less than what you started the game with. R...

Re: Title 42 Expiration and the Border - What happens next?

Yeah that's great, but there's never any detail. How would the guest worker program work? How would Mexico ensure compliance on their end? The Mexico we are dealing with now is not the same as when the bracero program was running decades ago. 'They should come here legally' is not a solution - it's...

Re: Title 42 Expiration and the Border - What happens next?

Don't conflate all the migrants with the homeless. Many of those seeking assylum found ther way thousands of miles from home. They are resourceful and hard working for the most part. Despite what the GOP likes to claim to the contrary. Can you provide any source the GOP has said that? I mean nobody...

Re: Oregon Gov Commutes death sentences.

Cool story bro. Though I am sure there are probably a few wrongfully convicted people in the US - some sentenced to death - who would strongly disagree with you. Believe it or not, other countries base their justice systems on innocent proven guilty, and provide for appeals - so the US is not an ou...

Re: Musk, Twitter News and Discussion Thread

About Twitter polls, or any similar online polls on websites, they're totally meaningless. On Twitter it's worse since it's an app used all over the world, but of course Musk is first and foremost followed by US users. And on Twitter and facebook, you can have a few people that call on their commun...

Genuinely, I think if you found some better sources, some that aren't in it to manipulate you, you'd find yourself being much less angry and scared at things going on around you. The anger and fear are the point. You have never met me and know zero about me, how do you know I am angry? See that is ...

The best part of election night for me was watching Sisolak lose, for he is just another Newsom and hurt Nevada.

Re: Title 42 Expiration and the Border - What happens next?

Red herring to answer a red herring? POTUS narrative doesn’t change the fact CBP is actively securing the border as best they can.

Pretty clear he is just suspending people reactively. The irony is he doing the things he claims Twitter did before, but actually didn't. Really? Come on.

If this goes badly, it will play into the hands of the far-right. And this will further push away any sensible solution. The window may have have been in the last 12 months.

Re: World Cup 2022 Football Thread

One of the best, if not the best, WC final I’ve ever seen. Edge of the seat match, and as in all good fairy tales the right team on the day won in the end. Congratulations Argentina, a truly deserved World Champion! Not a Messi fan but he and his team withstood a France comeback and deserve the win.

Re: World Cup 2022 Football Thread

OMG a finals for the history books! Shame it has to go to PKs. I wish FIFA would at least change the rule in a final game that it has to play to a natural goal to win. PKs is just not right to decide this game.
