I hope you don't get sent to mod prison for this.

With that UID you've waited a long time for a sand worm story, and you should be given the latitude to have fun with it.

Tell yourself whatever you must to get what you want.

But we are talking about a smartphone.

If a person can't leave off buying a smartphone + voice and data and texting plan, with 0 degrees of separation between the seller and the stock market, it causes me to question their level of commitment and true understanding of what you describe as "everyone is connected to Wall Street". You'd have to win a contest to get a phone with fewer people between you and an actual 1%er.

If this movement could more accurately focus on chrony capitalism versus capitalism, the duality wouldn't sting as much. But a lot of people just want an excuse to set something on fire and I don't blame them.

Exactly.

Because GOOG, SSNLF, 2498.TW, and T are unconnected in any way to Wall Street.

During the election bias of that sort seemed to be a selling point.

It seems to be functioning quite well right now.

It wasn't until I read your comment that I realized the guy you replied to was describing the bad guys.

I thought he meant the police.

A fair portion of what I do for a living involves photographing things in what most people would consider 'conflict zones'.

The reality is that opportunities to photograph anything a news agency would consider interesting in relation to any conflict are few and far between. More often than not it is just not possible to move fast enough, even by helicopter, to get to the fighting while it is still going on unless you are riding along with whomever starts it. Most of it starts fast and ends fast.

You think one day you are sitting in the drive thru at Burger King and some signal goes out and you head into the woods with your SKS to live born again hard.

I know that not to be the way things will go, and I know that you don't know.

So this.

Wen Ho Lee.

Of course I'm not a 1%er. I don't know about favorite, but I was a pretty good whore for a time.

Feel free to further thrill me with your trick shooting exploits, like that is even half the entrance fee.

I've seen Marine artillery shell a city, and I've seen a team of 6 guys with rifles do their thing with gloves off, against a foe far harder than you and your weekend buddies can fathom. I know how it ended and how it will end again. I still regularly shoot against the best of you and I know your poor form. Now would be a good time to pretend you were being metaphorical.

None of you people are going to rise up and do anything of the sort, not least because you can't. To people who don't know the history behind the quote it looks tough printed on a T shirt, but we all know that is just tough talk.

And the larger point here is that class warfare has no end because someone always has more than the next guy.

I'd have skipped the derp part but you rang the bell with that one.
