Tony Stark voted for Trump out of a 9th dimensional chess logic and immediately regretted it

Sorry, do you think semaglutide and tirzepatide are understudied as drugs? Compared to what, water?

Eric is doing a little sleight of hand where he’s grouping GLP-1 drugs with random doping chemicals because they’re both gray market peptides and ignoring the fact that 98% of the demand is for the first category

“We have a drug that lowers all-cause mortality by 20-50%, would you like some?” YEAH NO SHIT

One of the obvious reasons for this is because, unlike prior wellness crazes, we actually have invented a class of peptides with massive sweeping benefits shown repeatedly in large double blind trials.

What's the BQL command for that?

The manosphere is a conspiracy to prevent men from doing the things that actually are attractive to women (locking in and spending 18 hours a day posting on Bluesky)

Day in Trump's economy: > Wake up, check the news > BLS: "10 billion new jobs created" > Check my phone to see what today's tariff rates are. > Norway up 20%, Cambodia down 5% > Go to my iphone assembly line job where I make $7.25/hour > Spend next 4 hours putting chips inside phones > Take 15 minute break > Check my shitfartpisscoin holdings > Rugged > Watch the FOMC meeting > FOMC is just Trump > Trump goes on stage and announces he's raising rates from -10% to -5% > Also announces date of Jay Powell's public execution > AI manager scolds me for taking 16 minutes on my 15 minute break > It's only been 12 minutes > Call employee help line to complain > It's also AI > Go home frustrated > Complain to my girlfriend about my job > She's also AI

Get ready to learn to speak Chinese economic data alternatives, buddy:

-20%

Congrats to James Fishback of Azoria Capital on his new job as head of the BLS I guess

You have -2 days to accumulate generational wealth before the music stops Mr. Poopoo.

yeah cuz they're gonna cut rates, dollar sold off 20 bps tho

Value of $100 of Argentinian pesos in USD (blue line), value of $100 worth of Argentinian stock in USD (white line)

This isn't as stupid as it seems, btw, if you think they're going to cook the books and have massive inflation you'd much prefer to own equities over bonds/cash: see the performance of the Argentinian MERVAL vs. the peso.

S&P straight up 50 bps since the firing lmfao

The Ghislaine release really goes to show that suicide is never the right answer. No matter how hopeless things may seem, you can’t take back shooting yourself five times in the back of the head and jumping out a window.

I'm kind of mad that "the market won't care about tariffs until August 1" actually fucking worked. Things should not be this stupid.

Trump fired the Commissioner of Labor Statistics by tweet just now, in case you're wondering about how reliable job numbers might be getting over the next 3.5 years

Manchin would probably be CDU instead of SPD but that’s about it.

How dare you impugn the beautiful, perfect visualization tools of the Wolfram Mathematica Computer Algebra System, I banish you to the shadow realms for all eternity

Momo names getting taken to the woodshed today so naturally Moderna is down again

Did you know that the Democrats would actually be the right wing party in Europe? No, I cannot name any right wing parties in Europe or what they’ve been getting up to lately, but I’m pretty sure that she’d be part of one anyways.

generic US equity index returns? 6% real + 2% inflation

Lopping off both these tails and allow people to compounds at 8% tax free on a modest contribution base- $10-20k max total- is plenty to fund even a quite lavish retirement

Because when you allow arbitrary investments what happens is
1. Regular people blow their savings on lotto ticket stocks because they think they’ll need the capital gains shield
2. Very rich people play games with undervalued private assets and amass hundreds of millions tax free

I live paycheck to paycheck actually (put my business-class tickets to Europe on a travel card instead of paying cash)

To the extent that tax-free individual savings accounts are a thing (I dislike them as a general matter of policy), they should be a single account run through the government invested in the TSP funds.
