Circular deals at best, none of which are any more than announcements to bump up market cap.

They could always do what MAGA always does: sign the doc, ignore having done so & do whatever they wish w impunity.

Newsom is becoming such a predictable Republican.

What’s next? MAGA?

This Palo Alto boy from the 50s is doing it from the comfort of my deck in Portland. And, yes, Mr. Garcia was one of my guitar teachers. Ron McKernan’s dad was a legendary DJ. And, oh, the Lytton Plaza, El Camino park & Frost amphitheater concerts were superb.

It’s a pretty predictable script playing out, eh?

Neither civilization cared too much about skin color or place of origin like we do today.

We suppress many truths by not learning about the classics & studying history more broadly.

No. They use, say & print that as a pretext for exercising their overt racism & advancing their related & bizarre form of white β€œChristian” nationalism.

So, $META trades at 28X earnings & has a 5-year beta of 1.2. $MSFT trades at a higher multiple, 38, but has a 5 year beta of 1.03.

Gambling?

You have a much lower threshold for risk than most apparently.

Your key word is β€œtargeting” (to meet an arbitrary quota).

Trying to differentiate good & bad β€œtargeting” to meet an admittedly arbitrary quota does little to call out the bad public policy & arguably overt racism in play here.

You’re in denial.

It’s not that anyone didn’t try to warn others, especially the vulnerable MAGA tribe, about all this for the past 10 years that r so.

No. Just paid more taxes - very regressive ones to boot.

You could just as easily put Theil, Zuck, Musk, JD Vance or the whole crew of Yarvin-inspired rich, SV mutants on that cover & it still works.

We’ll learn later it’s a lot more & that the monetary waste is secondary to many other losses.

Early exit from a sinking ship with an incompetent captain at the helm.

Oren Cass? That pretty much sums up abundance to a tee.

Not sure she was ever alive in the sense you refer to.

02.08.2025 23:13 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

She should take the lead of others with her experience & quietly go work for a think tank, policy institute or just retire entirely from politics.

Musk & his band of Yarvin-inspired tech bros & SV capitalists would likely prefer those that are/become impoverished & hungry just go & die.

Newsom, a Dem by registration only, unless the Dems now occupy the political space the GOP abandoned in their transition to MAGA.

She’s always been to the right on all but a narrow subset of public policy matters.

Her advocacy has skewed to the business lobby, developers & favored old school tax expenditure methodologies.

Never a champ for ppl w disabilities, seniors, social services or education.

Hopefully, a one termer

The newly wealthy - especially modern US-based tech bros - have always been easy marks for every derivative of organized crime.

Human trafficking & sex slavery is so on brand for the misogynist SV guys like Thiel.

Today’s prevailing cop culture is all about extracting as many public dollars as permissible without regard for crime clearance rates, prompt responses or push back on so many unjustified self-preservation decisions.

Shielded by police unions this is unlikely to change & will probably get worse.
