If you really want to see the grift, you can see how rapidly TrumpCoin fell a short while after being announced... and has continued to fall over the past 17 months.

The other possibility is - this was one of those very rare occasions where he learned GOP senators were not going to fall in lockstep behind him.

EO after EO who needs laws if you can just rule by fiat? Donnie boy truly reigns like a monarch.

He does that despite the GOP controlling both houses. It's lazy and won't last longer than the current administration.

The sudden hostility and ad hominem attacks are quite puzzling. I don't think my comment remotely justified that response. Sorry if you had a bad day.

Nowhere was the argument raised that healthcare providers taking precautions are immune to transmission. But this is an odds game, and the odds are dramatically higher than in places where friends and relatives must take care of the infected and diseased with no PPE. The experts are rightfully concerned, but they are not calling this latest Ebola outbreak the next COVID.

Apparently, "Texas Man" is jealous of all the attention "Florida Man" has been getting...

That is inconvenient for the passengers. But the bigger concern here might be that people sometimes also die in cars that were driven into a flooded road.

Washington's State Patrol is fond of pointing out that the majority of flood deaths in our state are people who've driven into a flood - often after intentionally going around a "road closed" sign / barrier.

I think to the extent in presents systemic risk, it's similar to the risks posed by other high flying AI-boom companies like Nvidia. I'm not saying it's good, but SpaceX isn't a unique exposure.

Just citing NASDAQ exaggerates things quite a bit. On IPO, Space X is going to have a market cap of around 1.5% of the S&P 500, but its public float is going to be way smaller than that (less than .25%). The market goes up and down 1% on a day to day basis without it being major news. Even a 2% day can happen without anything earthshattering. So SpaceX alone isn't jeopardizing the market if it goes bust.

I wonder... given what they've done with landers, they might try to one-up the US by landing a manned mission on the far side of the moon.

The market is a wet dream of manufacturers, of course. Already knowing that for all the forseable future however much you can produce will be sold at very good prices - amazing.

Until the house of cards comes down. Most of the stuff ordered is, as someone put well into a meme, money that doesn't yet exist buying chips that don't yet exist for data centers that have not yet been built.

Like, it's not transsexuals who are defective, but people who didn't respect Bruce Jenner enough to follow along with his nonsense in 2015?

It sounds like your life has been made very difficult by the existence of trans people. Please, tell us about how difficult it is to live in such a world.

Reminds me of that incredible economic growth we faced in housing right before 2008.

The more the merrier, I say... at least in this context.

That is highly speculative.

"Functioning" in this case is in comparison to a place like the DRC and other places in Central Africa. You won't see large numbers of people dying from Ebola who have never been cared for by a medical professional and you won't see large numbers of dead buried in the backyard or a field outside of town. It's the non-professional care and undertakers that causes people to be exposed to infected fluids.
