Looks like the Coronavirus is *finally* hitting the stock market. Down 850 right now, hovering around -800 all morning. Or, you know, it's Bernie. Either/or really! https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1231972713574653952?s=19

LingcodKilla posted:what a loving hack It's very likely both. Not because Bernie is bad for the economy per se, but because he scares investors and the capital class. Reminder that the market != the economy (Disclaimer: I'm going by the quote in the tweet as I'm not able to watch the clip, I don't know what other dumb poo poo he might have said) Edit: Other factor to keep in mind is that the markets, for good or ill, seem to like Trump (probably due to his "loot everything gently caress the consequences" policies). Bernie winning could also cause a slump because the market believes Bernie is likely to kick Trump's rear end. Jarmak fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Feb 24, 2020 |

The markets "Like" Trump because he's a rampant criminal who is destroying barriers to oligarchy and monopolies, and he's a gift to the 1%. The markets are also schizophrenic and don't actually give a poo poo about continuity of the economy like you said, only how much short term gain they can make. It could all come crashing down and as long as they made short term gain, the "Markets" would love him as it all burns down around them.

Milo and POTUS posted:These people are afraid of poor people's lives being improved in any way. They're worse than republicans Nah, I don't know Cooper but I know some of this crew. They're still traumatized from the Regan-Bush-Clinton-Bush eras and genuinely believe that America is at best a center-right country if not a hard right country. They're also completely terrified by Trump's dismantling of US institutions, and the combination of these two things is loving them up hard. They're absolutely convinced that Sanders will lead to a UK-style historic defeat of the left and the continued erosion of anything good that the government does. It's not a front - it's an actual pathological despair about the American public and a genuine belief that the only realistic possibility for the left is slowing the bleeding. I think they're probably wrong? But they might be right. We'll find out one way or the other.

Ah surely the market going down will show Sanders supporters the error of their ways! I have every confidence the Dem sky is falling centrist twits will do everything they can to try and ensure Dem defeat, but apparently my they're out to get Sanders viewpoint is delusional as there is clearly no evidence for that

so if i was in congress and someone tried to bribe me with like a million dollars, what's to stop me from agreeing to it, receiving the money, and then telling them to gently caress off? i'd report the million to the IRS. tell me how bribery works. for a school project.

That's not how it works, they give the million dollars to your campaign/PAC/other legally distinct entity. If you take their money and don't do their bidding, they give the next million to your opponent.

So using my basic knowledge of the game theory, if every politician did that it would have the same results that we have now except the money would be going from the rich to other people instead.

Yeah the bribee would get the maximum-allowable amount to their campaign (which can be used for drat near whatever, food and etc), a chunk to a connected PAC, then the gigantic chunk to an affiliated SuperPAC. Bribee can't touch the PAC/SuperPAC stuff (in theory), but said PACs still work on getting the bribee elected/reelected. Once the money is donated from briber to bribee, there's not much recourse for the briber, other than potential ratfucking down the line. Maybe some blackmail too, if both bribee and briber both knew that the rules were being broken or the money was dirty. Double-check on the connected PAC stuff, that poo poo gets confusing in a hurry. Focus in on the dollar values allowed for each. I'm almost positive SuperPACs don't have dollar figure maximums attached.

The thing that cracks me up about a lot (but not all) of the political scandals is that there's a shockingly low amount of money involved. A few hundred thousand, at most, to buy a member of the house. That's an insane bargain. edit: A building inspector in my home town went to jail because he took almost 300k in bribes from the mafia. That's a man that has some respect for the craft.

I'm almost positive SuperPACs don't have dollar figure maximums attached. I thought SuperPACs were some weird endrun around the rules because they are actually n+1 normal PACs, where n is the number needed to be allowed to take however much they are taking. I remember the term "PAC of PACs" used to describe them. Basically, you donate to SuperPAC, and it in turns splits your donations up so each PAC is taking the legally allowable amount or some poo poo like that?
