This is how I found out I'm supposed to hate tankies apparently.

That was an interesting read, thanks for posting it.
They're richer than me. They're better at Marxist analysis than me. I need a vodka shot...
This is really common, most people simply will not get around to recommendations in my experience.

I feel like half the time I see fedposting it's you; watch out for the
Tbf to our AI overlords, it looks like it's bent behind her back.
It's astrology but instead of being based on the mystique of the stars it's a video game infinite money glitch that's based on a rug pulling mini game
A short is based on borrowed stock, basically you borrow a bunch of shares from someone for and sell them for money, with a promise to return them later. If it goes down, that means when you rebuy it to return it's much cheaper and you can pocket the difference.
A put is a contract that you make with someone that says someone will buy a stock from you at a certain price if you decide to sell. The contract comes with an expiration date and a fee for you based off of calculated likelihood. The idea is, if the stock drops below that amount and then drops enough to cover the fee (the breakeven point), you invoke the contract and make a profit.
There is a lot more to it including reselling the contract etc. but frankly it's a glorified gambling hall for the most part unless you're in the know or have enough influence to move it yourself for specific tipping points.
Puts on the US. Massive bull trap ahead 🫡
It isn't an issue for me, I just wanted to float some reasons that liberal idealism tends to meet strong resistance here. There are more pragmatic reasons for the stances taken as well, which with my current understanding, I agree with. But frankly, I'm currently too drunk and too behind on theory to be a good source to articulate it. Assuming you aren't banned on my instance and I remember through my ADHD deluge, I might circle back on this in the future and explain further.
I hate the constant guilt tripping of certain sectors where they try to weaponize the harm (or sometimes mere inconvenience) of you not slaving away for them on their terms. Maybe, if it is so urgent, pony up the cash, and things can get back to normal faster!
