Lol, no he doesn't. He drives a used '89 Bronco cuz he's a weirdo. I've trimmed from 80/20 stock bond portfolio to about a 60/40 in my personal portfolio and increased my cash holdings to ~ 10% of all assets. My corporate portfolio is about 93% bonds and 7% equities.

There will be a pop for sure.

Hard to do when you're in S&P 500 indexed funds though.

Right? It would've been great if he acted for his constituents rather than self-interest

She should've never been the nominee, or at least not in the way it happened. Biden fucked the dems over by running for reelection and dropping out after it was too late to run a primary. She scrambled the best she could but pissed off the left by catering to republicans who'd never bote for her

Yeah, it was a great bill. Probably the most aggressive investment package since the new deal. I just don't see it as coming from a necessarily left wing lense rather than fuck this long overdue lmao

But at the end of the day he was a populist in that he embodied and inspired millions to hope, which was what ultimately propelled him to victory. A centrist won't be able to do that in this environment

And I don't think Obama is a radical, just radical relative to competition.

He was primarily aligned with Edwards and Clinton on most issues, but needed prodding on the individual healthcare mandate

Not hostile to the left but his policy was centrist. Even the infrastructure bill would be considered centrist in actual terms, not the distorted American overton window where its billed as communism. But as soon as minorities spoke out after 10/7, we saw where his convictions lie

We just lost every single swing state running a centrist against a literal nazi and naziism won. What we need is a left wing populist like Mamdani.

Think back to '08. Obama was radical (relatively speaking amongst dem primary challengers) and he won twice!

We ran a centrist against extremism the last three elections and extremism won twice. They only lost once because of a biblical ass plague.

I've seen the think tank analysis. They primarily rely upon unrepresentative polls and cater towards the rich donor class rather than popular appeal.

Well, no. Their GPUs were profitable long before the AI boom started in 2013. I don't disagree with you that it will be bad. I just think your assumptions are based on cognitive biases rather than any understanding of economics

No, that is not my point. I hate AI and agree it will lead to a bubble pop. I was just curious to see if you had information I wasn't privy to as we simply disagree as to the severity. No reason to get bent out of shape

I bet it comes in between the dotcom bubble and 08-09

Do you know what mortgage securitization is? When good loans are packaged with bad loans, the rotten apple spoils the bunch.

Nvidia's profit margins are solid.

I think the bubble could have downstream effects but it'll primarily hit the investor class the worse.

That's not true: mortgage debt is much larger

I'd imagine this would help the prosecution as the suspect would lose the protection of their office, no?

That makes a lotta sense to me. As a non-hockey fan, there doesn't seem to be personalities that transcend the game
