Comment AI data center is want power now (Score 1) 20

The reason they're pushing for 2027 is they are trying to get it in before Trump leaves office because he is gutting regulatory agencies left and right. So they are hoping to get something up and running before the adults come back in the room.

On the other hand it's entirely possible Trump will get a third term or if he's just too sick for it JD Vance will win the election. There is going to be so much voter suppression going on that if you want to vote blue it is going to be tough.

But I'm sure it's fine. A shitload of multi-billionaires and trillionaires want unlimited electricity right this very second and are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to undermine basic regulations while pushing for rapidly building nuclear reactors in a country with a shortage of high skill construction workers and tens of thousands of multi-million dollar tofu dregs because of it... I'm sure having the guys who can't build a frame square can throw up a nuclear power plant no problem.

I really really hope this country comes to its senses. I'm not looking forward to evacuating my city Fukushima style...

Comment You can't short the shares (Score 1) 45

They got a special agreement that anyone who bought it could not sell the shares for the first 120 days. You cannot short a share that you can't trade or buy.

After 120 days SpaceX gets dumped into the NASDAQ index funds by force whether you want to have it or not. This will pump up the value of the stock making shorting it basically impossible until right before the collapse. Unless you have insider information then you will not be able to catch that and deal with it. You will just lose your money.

You need to wake up. All of the systems designed to protect you and to give you even a ghost of a chance in the market have been dismantled and you are in the process of being stripped for parts. Unless something drastic changes you are going to lose all your property.

Comment It's hilarious because there's no money in it (Score 2) 45

Patrick Boyle on YouTube covered this but the market for satellite internet is completely tapped out. The high cost of launching satellites isn't going away because physics and that means the bare minimum you can get by charging is going to be about a hundred bucks a month and even that is really cutting it close. There are only so many people on planet Earth that can spare $100 a month for internet and can't just get wired internet which is cheaper and faster and better. Never mind competition from cellular internet.

But what's funny here in a holy shit we are screwed kind of way is SpaceX did such a huge scam IPO and it's going to drain so much cash from everyone's 401ks, 10 trillion dollars is just lying there waiting for the Epstein class to take. So it's no surprise other people are looking at that and getting in on the action. I just saw an article from an economist talking about how the only way to fund the AI expansion is to put their worthless stock into your retirement plan and snag all your money.

People keep telling me that they are just going to pick their own stocks. That's not a retirement plan that's being a day trader. If you have a full-time job and it's not day trader that really isn't practical in the real world. You simply do not have the time to do the research and track the stocks so that you can reliably earn the returns you need to retire off of your investments. That's why index funds were created in the first place. It was a safe place to park your money that was heavily regulated and controlled.

SpaceX broke all those rules and they were allowed to do it because you're not paying attention and NASDAQ looked at all those fat sacks of cash and said we want some of that.

Now the only question is will you die of old age before they get around to taking your property? Because if you're under 65 the answer is no.

So one tweet from Trump from back when he wasn't relevant in US politics yet and a single post from Rush Limbaugh, someone who only MAGA types listen to, was MAGA being "effective in claiming the "real" number was the labor force participation being low."? What a laugh, this was never a major thing during the Obama administration.

Because permanent access to an expensive online resource should be free forever?

Not even remotely what I said.

You may want it, but it really isn't a sustainable business model.

Jacking up prices when their product is already having a hard time finding a significant presence in the market is what seems like a bad business model to me.

Comment Elon Musk murdered 8 million children (Score 1, Informative) 117

But he did so overseas so it doesn't show up in the statistics. It is strange that he the greatest mass murderer of the 21st century though. I guess maybe Henry Kissinger might be in the running.



As for the orange pedophile the effects of his actions don't really kick in until after the midterms because he doesn't want you to know what he did to you. We did take millions of people off their health care so we could squeeze billionaire tax cuts through the reconciliation process and get past the filibuster for those extremely unpopular tax cuts... Oh and your taxes went up assuming you're American which will, I mean honestly with that comment I have questions...

After the midterms suburban and rural hospitals will start closing down because they got huge income cuts from the Medicaid cuts. So death rates will tick up. We also massively deregulated a wide variety of safety protocols and environmental regulations so expect more cancers and more food poisoning.

On the other hand murder rate keeps going down despite the Republicans best efforts so there is that but on the other other hand they do seem like they want to get us into a really really big Vietnam style war and send a few million Young Americans off to die in the Middle East. It's pretty clear Trump was trying to get the country behind invading Iran which would require a absolutely enormous draft. And would result in a lot of dead people.

What I'm getting at here is that you're dealing with complex systems and you put two completely incompetent criminals and grifters in charge of them. The shit is going to hit the fan it's just going to take a little while for it to splatter on you personally.

Calm down grasshopper. What's being "said" (keep an eye on statistics instead of inflating percentages into everybody) is that taking away many peoples' healthcare (in favor of tax breaks for the wealthy) does not make many people healthier, it makes them more unhealthy and poorer. Everything that el Bunko and Elmo do *sometimes* (more often than should be) make people dead or sick. Cutting minuscule foreign aid kills scores in Africa. Pissing it off on Israel killed scores of Palestinians.

la Presidenta is cutting rules and regs on pollutants. I presume in your book that pollutants do not kill people or make them sick. Then you'll be wanting to cozy up to that coal fired power plant that is now allowed to spew more mercury into the environment. You do recall mercury from HS chemistry, yes? Okay, no. So look it up.

One can go through the list of el Bunko's EOs. They have two defining features: they are bad for Americans' health and they benefit he and his crime family. Elmo is not far behind but his reach is smaller.....now. That little fucking Nazi has every intention of tell everyone else how live and his Silicon Valley fellow travelers (Thiel, Ellison, Altman, etc.) are right behind him. Bezos is bringing up the rear. You are mere cannon fodder to their schemes.

If you want to see how the proles are doing, pay attention to credit card debt and how many jobs they must work to make ends meet. Jesus, and stop whinging about how mistreated is the Epstein class.
