What's the appeal on losing money to those with inside information?

Or just regular sports betting. The silly stuff gets all the press but in reality it's all just a sports betting platform. It was just a stupid way to get around state regulations using the current incredibly corrupt national government.

It's just up to various forms of insider information. Not trading because this isn't trades this is gambling.

And the supreme Court is completely corrupt. So no attorney general is going to want to risk anything getting anywhere near the supreme Court because you never know when those corrupt assholes are just going to rule that states cannot Levy fines at all.

Basically right now and for the foreseeable future it is open season on consumers. Keep an eye on any elderly relatives you have that you care enough about to potentially be forced to bail out.

Will tell you that there really isn't any growing demand except for Elon musk's own companies wanting to launch more satellites for satellite internet that itself has pretty much maxed out the number of potential users because there's only so many people who don't have access to wired high-speed internet and can afford $100 a month for high-speed internet...

This is hype and people buying in because they are anticipating a bunch of people who can't get in on SpaceX IPOs and are going to want to just buy something related to space.

YouTuber Patrick Boyle has a pretty good video explaining all of this in detail and explaining why the SpaceX IPO is a giant scam that's going to hit the economy like a truck. Most notably the rules of the NASDAQ were changed to allow all sorts of nasty little shenanigans and because of the size of the IPO it basically forces fund managers to buy into it because of how large a percentage of the NASDAQ it becomes.

I don't even know emotionally or intellectually how to process just how bad all this is going to be when it comes down on our heads. And we all know it always comes down on our heads and not the heads of the billionaire Epstein class assholes who made all this happen...

Of those, Google will be the hardest to replace. At least without exerting eminent domain over patents.

What's sad is that it has taken so long to reach that decision. I thought it was clear they needed to do this back before 2000. (I'm not exactly sure how long, but plausibly while I was in high school.)

We all know they are because Trump fired all the people who calculated those numbers because he didn't like them.

I would guess that it's the classic where people who drop out of looking for IT jobs are no longer counted in IT unemployment statistics. There's probably other ugly shenanigans too. Things are so much worse out there than anyone is willing to admit.

I really hate the 90% billionaire owned corporate hellscape of the modern news media. It feels like we're living in North Korea now. That's the level of misinformation you have to wade through. I guess at least so far when the thugs have rounded up American citizens they have at least released them in a few weeks... Which is a sentence I had the write

You would be shocked and appalled to find how evil just about every company on the planet is including and especially the small ones.

We have a hyper competitive system where access to food and shelter are on the line and 60% to 80% of everything humanity produces goes straight to the top before anyone else gets a crack at it. People are not going to be nice about it.

To make way for more money to blow on AI.

The elite and the Epstein class are done with us. They're going to spend all their energy automating us away. And we are going to spend all of our energy pretending they're not doing it.

They don't need us to buy their products when there are no products. This is the end of capitalism. It has served them well but they are done with it. Unlike us they are not emotionally attached to it.

It's also a sociopathic one.

That it's SOP doesn't make it any less so, but rather an indictment against our capitalism-first culture.

It's called a private cloud, it's not rocket surgery, we were doing clustering with machines with only dozens of MHz clock speeds and less RAM than most modern embedded platforms back in the nineties.

It is insane that the EU hasn't done more to create local tech companies to reduce their reliance on the US. They need their own version of Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent (among others), just like China does. It's fine to leverage allies for certain parts of your economy, but the tech sector is right up their with military when it comes to industries where the EU shouldn't be depending on external allies so strongly. It's not like the EU has the same religious devotion to free markets that the US has which would make them hesitant to prop up their local tech companies for 10+ years until they could survive on their own.

I found an EU report from 2025 that suggested it would take $5 trillion to do this, which would be about 5% of the government revenue of all EU countries combined if done over a decade. Just like efforts to become less reliant on the US military complex, the EU should really get started.

Violence doesn't work for left-wing causes. The left wing is by nature bad at organizing and following orders and those are what you need to make violence work. Sooner or later any left-wing movement that uses violence turns into a right-wing movement when it inevitably gets taken over from inside by the right wingers.

The left wing is good at being right about basically everything but not good at violence. And that's not going to change because people who are right about things aren't good at following orders.

Trump voters gave up friends and family and husbands and wives. It's tough to turn on Trump after giving up that much for the man
