an integral part of our society
It’s an overvalued meme stonk pushed by Tim Urban’s 2015 Musk propaganda pieces and WSB, supercharged by Twitter Muskapades during the very strange COVID-induced market wildfires.
The price is fueled by retail gambling, with the cult of personality and [false] idealism of the company lending it stamina that finally seems to be ailing.
Tesla’s stratospheric P/E ratio is ridiculous.
It’s oddly shaped like a cartridge
VXUS might be a viable avenue to support Tesla’s competition.
Yup, that’s how jokes work. Sometimes the best ones are too subtle for many to identify as a joke and the humor is tragically lost on them.
Ehhhhhhhhh, I think I’d prefer gentle asphyxiation by nitrogen or a lethal dose of morphine or sudden teleportation to the center of a star.
Geez you communicated that perfectly.
Bingo. Disarm, detain, distrain.
I’ve been having a recent craving to rewatch Conspiracy (2001) in light of the past year.
Be judicious about the degree of productive capacity you can exhibit…
Number of registered firearms purchased. Family members’ names and locations.
I feel very small…
It’s one of the reasons it’s in my top 2 places to live within the next couple years.
I love how disingenuous phrases like “wiped out $4 trillion” are, as if someone piled up four trillion $1 bills and burned them with gasoline. The perception of $4T was unimagined in the minds of potential share buyers. Or, the appetite to spend $4T in the market was displaced by pessimism.
And another thing! (since I decided to stand on a soapbox) I hate the concepts of market cap and even enterprise value. As if every single one of those outstanding shares is earmarked at whatever the prevailing trade rate is at any given moment. Obviously there’s so much more integrated into the perceived value of shares than just one spot price. I guess it’s why incredible tomes of text are dedicated to security analysis.
I’m not an economist. I’m a failed active investor and born again Boglehead. I know this shit has been studied and debated ad nauseum. It’s just annoying to see sensationalist numbers and verbal qualifications thrown out to communicate a certain message.
Still, I don’t really know of a better way to say it. It’s my ultimate hope fascism continues to communicate how generally unprofitable it is, leading its heretofore mid and low-level supporters to temper or displace it.
Do you think they’ve accessed records for the past election to build a database holding every voter and their respective vote(s)?
Performative in MN, but in locations more sympathetic to the GOP agenda is it a beacon of inspiration and blueprint for legalized oppression?
That’s nothing to sneeze at!

Can that even happen in a capitalist society? I thought the pursuit of profit was supposed to fix everything. It almost feels like thefacebook doesn’t have its users’, or even society’s, best interests at heart. If only someone could have made a full length feature film warning everyone about this 15 years ago!
How long until the next, deadlier, plague shows up? Laurie Garrett did some pretty great analyses back in the 90s based on population density and mobility in The Coming Plague that worked pretty well for COVID, iirc. With the collapse of biomedical shields at NIH and CDC, I shudder to envision a pathogen like the one in Contagion showing up for Act II of the American Shitshow.
They definitely don’t look entitled and angry enough. Some even seem to exhibit hints of appreciation and humility, which would cause a dimensional rift in the real world. I’ve never seen a less accurate depiction of what this event would actually look like.
It’s so weird to realize some people saw the scene where Neo woke up and thought “Heeeeeeyyyy, now that’s a pretty nice way to do things. Someone (preferably me) should do that!” instead of a natural sense of revulsion.
