Capitalism means the same tool in the same factory can be produced with different names and price points. This is efficient HiHo ChiRho posted:This is slander of the highest order. Number is merely going the opposite of up so the opportunity to buy can make number go up even more than it would otherwise. Smdh thanks to the short sale even when number go down , you still make money!

The decline, which erased about $120 billion in market value, is the largest one-day drop in the history of the American stock market.   Number is logical. Number is life.

MiddleOne posted:That's not entirely correct. He's basically just abandoning outright the idea that the climate goals (say 1.5 and 2 degrees) will be met. That they will be overshot and it will be awful, but some kind of new normal will be established regardless out of regional self interest. I keep reading that we're already at 2 degrees, if not right this second then with the feedback loops and emissions, and we're not exactly even close to kind of maybe doing anything about it.

wilderthanmild posted:Does China have any real incentive to make a deal with Trump? They don't really need to wait out the whole US economy in this trade war, just Trump's presidency. Prolonging or even escalating the trade war probably results in him out on his rear end and his opponent will likely make ending the trade war a point of their platform. Nope. Unlike the US they have a population that still remembers a lower standard of living, has no pesky elections, and suppresses the hell out of them as a matter of course. The US has a lot more to lose going toe to toe with them. Sure, our standard of living has been gradually getting worse, but we won't abide a sudden drop like that. We pride ourselves on an illusion of prosperity and hate when that's pierced. That would cost Trump the election, at which point China can negotiate favorable terms with someone more reasonable.

It's good, except the elite will just catabolize the working class to continue to extract the amount of wealth to which they're entitled. Number go way up: Can't distribute it, that's socialism and unfair Number go way down: Have to cut jobs and distribute the loss, it's only fair.

Dumb Lowtax posted:Word of warning, if you think your house/car/condo is insured right now it might not be. There are signs that major insurance companies are realizing that if they all just stop paying out claims at once, no one can do anything about it -- partially because it's illegal (or against mortgage contracts) not to have insurance. The money that's rightfully yours to pay for a covered repair might not be coming. I’ve pretty much accepted that insurance is a just another grift. They have no intention of paying out and no one will hold them accountable if they don’t

Piracy is both easier and harder since 2011. It's harder because they're way more active in sending notices to ISP now, so a VPN is basically mandatory. No more just rolling up to a public tracker in the clear and draining it dry. I actually stopped pirating shows since I'd rather pay a bit and just have it available rather than have my computer running a Plex server on top of the TV and blah blah blah. And since my legit content is plentiful, I don't really have time for anything more than that.

Open secret is that pretty much every major corp does this because when you tie senior management compensation to stock performance and stonk likes it when you say number is up, the incentive is to just lie as much as possible to inflate number And when rich people crime is basically a freebie, why not?

Perusing my stonks app to check in with glorious number. According to ABC News "US stocks climb amid sings of a thaw in US-China trade war". What loving thaw exactly? The babyman has been ordering companies to bring their manufacturing back to the US and threatening unprecedented government intervention via a fake national emergency all weekend.
