I sent in the wrong cover letter: same employer, different position and department
But they're interviewing me anyway, for some reason? I'm down

Yeah, I agree it's urgent. I don't think it'll be 5-10 years but the fact that they think it's that close clearly informs their actions and they're apparently not interested in being taxed to fund universal healthcare, UBI, etc

There are trading "experts" who will tell you never to ask why, just look at the chart. The chart and your technicals tell you everything you need to know. According to them, if President Asshole posts on Truth Social and creates a bull run, you don't need that information, all you need is the chart in the moment
Those folks and their followings are hacks
They don't want you to become adept your own research and analysis because they're trying to keep you dependent on their subscriptions

One basic principle they got right is that equities can be wildly over-priced for a very long time before a fundamental catalyst disturbs them
Prices and forecasts are changes in analysis. A fundamental catalyst is a change in the "real": earnings reports, legislation, etc.

The constant stream of "oh my god huge crash incoming" over the last two years has gone real quiet now that the actual thing is in progress

conversation with student employees today
They said why don't we get change from our politicians, why do we get riot cops and broken campaign promises
I said the party politicians are mostly all franchise managers - they manage you instead of representing you. They don't think they need to consider the substance of your protests, they think the bad press is just a problem to mitigate while implementing the party's agenda. They're functionally traitors to democracy

Trump fired the coast guard general who uncovered the coverup of rape culture in the coast guard, a report buried by her predecessor
The reason given: "devoted too much time and resources to DEI efforts"
Folks, investigating sexual assaults will be labelled DEI, now

Once every other month or so I get an e-mail from facebook suggesting I friend request my dead friend's old account

Right, yep. Smart money needs an off-ramp - liquidity - and it's just nice of Trump supporters to give them one with an attractive price

Reminder that when the markets are hitting 52 week highs without fundamental supports (like, for example, during a bull run precipitated by an election*) it is a bad time to buy
*because an election is not economic performance data it is a speculative trigger

Haven't heard much about election polls in the last month
I'm sure that has nothing to do with Harris consistently leading them

That's basically what I'm saying, yeah
In 20 years we'll have thinkpieces about millennial and Gen Z complicity, too

2024-10-09 13:41:22 UTC

GenX calling themselves millennials is fine by me
Yes they're trying to escape the bad reputation of the boomers even though they're complicit
But so are millennials, so
That's fine, I appreciate that people want to distance themselves from the crimes of their fathers, because recognizing that these were crimes and responding is an important first step

Yep, that's the whole thing - if you're already wealthy then "x policy set will be good for the economy and make us all richer" does not mean "x policy set will be good for *me* and make me richer"
If you're a roughly average amount of wealthy then yes the choice is obvious, you want the policies that pull up the average

That is my idea too, but it's definitely not a clear choice to everyone and it's not as though the competing opinions are meritless (even if they are distasteful). For whales, current position plays a big role, as well as timescale: your goals on different scales might lead you in opposite directions. Especially if you have a lot of money in the energy sector
But really I think they're not as "undecided" as they claim to be and they're using uncertainty to fish for concessions

The answer is: they're multimillionaires and billionaires
People for whom the choice of president only matters in terms of how much their personal net worth will change (and for whom personal net worth is their only political priority)
The reason they're undecided is they're still unsure which candidate will increase their wealth more, and that's the only metric that will impact their daily lives
The reason the establishment cares and caters towards these sociopaths is they are the donors

Here's a hint:
Eligible non-voters are technically undecided too, and they don't get the same attention
Here's another hint:
Journalists seem to think some of the most important issues to illuminate right now are: whether and how much a candidate talks to the press, and whether and how much a candidate will increase the federal deficit

2024-09-19 22:14:02 UTC

It's pretty obvious who's claiming to be "undecided" every election and why they matter so much to campaigns and pundits
I mean think about it: what's the one difference between the candidates that is still arguably unclear and that some people might be prioritizing over everything else, including human rights and national security
If you can answer that question, you know exactly who's still "undecided" (and you know they're completely toxic)
