Why do they mark the Covid dip for trump but not mark the Ukraine Russia war dip for Biden? You know, one of the largest countries on earth being completely sanctioned from the dollar-economy probably had at least some effect on stock futures...

Trump will put money into the stock market

The stock market literally reached an all-time high under Biden, and most Americans are still struggling. Because 90% of stocks are owned by the top 10%...

Nah it was J. B. Pritzker, channeling the spirit of Huey Long.

The Buddha: Life is always full of suffering, so you should abandon the pursuit of wealth and enjoy the time you have.

Perfidious Albion and the Miserly Dutch: If you do not become wealthy it means that Jesus hates you and will send you to hell.

The name of the webcomic is "Webcomic Name," it's pretty good, like a simplified version of Pictures for Sad Childen.

I can guarantee you that nobody who still watches Saturday Night Live has read a non-young-adult-fiction book in the past 10 years.

Awesome.

What is NOT awesome are the posts on the university subreddit.

https://twitter.com/thestustustudio/status/1786541753064931643

"At the George Washington University Gaza Solidarity Encampment today, the protesters held a "People's Tribunal" where they put President Ellen Granberg, Provost Christopher Bracey, the Board of Trustees, @GWPolice, and many others on trial."

"Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine"

https://www.reddit.com/r/gwu/comments/1ck57j2/your_protest_is_no_longer_peaceful_when_you_call/

"Calling for the execution of university officials is where free speech ends. Whoever led these chants should be expelled and face legal consequences. Zero tolerance for that behavior."

A more effective protest would have been them form a student union and saying meet our demands or we won’t pay tuition next semester.

As you know, there was always an American flag 🇺🇸 flying in that location till the protestors commandeered the companion flagpole and replaced the GW flag with a giant Palestinian flag which was illegal for several reasons inc. "When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size."

Fucking FLAG LAW NERDS, the worst kind of nerds.

Starmer had previously refused to state whether trans women like Lia Thomas should be allowed to compete in women’s sport amid accusations from Harry Potter author JK Rowling that his party could “no longer be counted on to defend women’s rights”.

Ah, so this is what the Labour party is designed to do: make billionaire feel better about imaginary threats from minority groups.

I have not played Palworld but I love that it has exposed the greed and capitalist rot of the company that makes Pokemon. Seriously, the "old guard" video game giants like GameFreak, Valve, etc. are putting out lazy content and sucking up billions from micro-transactions, lazy retreads, and subscriptions. It's just funny to see capitalists be bad at capitalism.

I'm imagining the AI-generated films of the future, where you can change the gender of any character by pressing a button. Like choosing your own character in a video game. Or maybe auteurs could use this kind of like how Bob Dylan was played by four different actors in I'm Not There.

Markets have brought more people out of poverty than anything.

Yes, just like the Irish people who were "helped" by the free market in the 1840s. Or the Indian people who were "helped" by the free market in the late 1800s. You might be interested in this book by the late, great Mike Davis which completely refutes your ideas with hard evidence that the free market can be used (and has been used) as a tool of genocide: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/7859

You should e-mail that to the presidents of Cuba, Venezuela, and China, to show them the error of their communist ways.
