If everyone is employed, that means if you want to hire someone new you need to lure them away from an existing job

If there's a consistent pool of unemployed people, that keeps wages low because you're competing with unemployment instead of a wage

That's "slack"

What is a 51% attack?

My understanding of this is that what defines the "true" blockchain is kept consistent between parties through consensus/verification between clients, measured in terms of the balance of recorded computing power effort

If nodes you controlled somehow constituted more than half of the ledger, you could effectively forge docs and rewrite the history of that chain because your fake ledger outnumbers/outweighs the "true" consensus

So I went from losing 5k in shorts in the fall, and my 401k being down 10k due to short positions, to GME crack pinging my brain and deciding to spend 7k on meme stocks

300 AMC ($4.38) and a smattering of GOGO, BBBY, FIZZ, MAC, SKT, ASO

All highly shorted stocks, I'm ready to ride this into the ground for the lmaos.

Also I bought 2 $6 call option AMC lottery tickets today that are already in the money.
