ZERO Leverage (HODL Capital)

The second order effects of this would be disastrous. Bezos knows this—he’s just trying to deflect criticism. It’s not about the 3% of tax revenue. Every voter needs skin in the game and needs to feel the sting of government spending. Otherwise, they’ll only vote for more.

Actually zoomers are poor because boomers printed out $39 trillion in debt for welfare programs like Social Security and Medicare, as well as bullshit forever wars in the Middle East. Also because boomers imported infinity bomalians and offshored all the productive work.

Jews were 0.8% of the population of Germany in 1914. They were 25% of all executives, 40% of executives who also held 2 or more corporate board positions and 80% of the top 10 German executives with the most board appointments.

I simply judge the administration based on the condemnations from liberals. The Mexicans are terrified and that makes me happy.

Hot take: A larger share of today's parents are raising children they wanted, waited for, and planned for, and they're calmer, better parents because of it.

America used to mass-produce steelworkers, engineers, and fathers. Now we mass-produce “stay-at-home boyfriends” who argue about Batman lore.

🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES.. THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!! The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing".. It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point.. Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume".. Every single firm said yes.. Here's what they recorded.. Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume".. When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200".. $200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume.. MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera.. "We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit".. He said that on a recorded FBI video call.. CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely.. ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic.. All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded.. And the clients were even worse.. Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors.. $7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic.. One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook.. Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything.. When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture.. But here's the part that broke my brain.. Real people bought NexFundAI.. The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish.. When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token.. The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back.. And it gets worse.. Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day.. Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for.. Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore.. IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular.. The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected.. The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured.. And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.

Austin mass shooter confirmed illegal who DA Garza let loose after felony theft of a firearm

Breaking news on Dalton's Case! Dalton "Chud the Builder" Eatherly case update Affidavit of Complaint just made public. Andrew Branca (self-defense law attorney) breakdown: • No racial slur alleged. Zero. The state's affidavit contains not one word of Eatherly provoking Fox with a slur. That was the biggest threat to his self-defense claim. Gone. • Affidavit describes zero criminal conduct. Not one sentence states what Eatherly did that was unlawful. • "Verbal altercation" is not a crime. At most a misdemeanor that would apply equally to both men. Neither is charged with it. • "Bladed stance" is not a crime. Taking a defensive posture against an angry antagonist is legal. • "Reached for his firearm" is not a crime. Preparing to defend yourself is legal. • "A physical altercation ensued" is written in passive voice. The state does not allege Eatherly started it. By omission, the inference points to Fox as the initiator. • "Discharged his firearm, striking Fox multiple times" is not inherently unlawful. Thousands of lawful self-defense shootings fit this exact description annually. • Ricocheting rounds near bystanders is not a crime absent recklessness. The affidavit alleges no recklessness. Police miss roughly 70% of shots in lawful shootings. • Lawful self-defense shots are, as a matter of law, not reckless. • Affidavit does not contest any element of self-defense. Not Innocence, Imminence, Proportionality, Avoidance, or Reasonableness. Not a single one. • Charges: attempted murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, employing a firearm during a dangerous felony. • Branca's verdict: "Hard to recall the last time I saw an Affidavit of Complaint so utterly lacking in legal substance." Sees no realistic path to conviction beyond a reasonable doubt on these facts.

If you make more than $200k a year get an angiocardiogram before age 40. I know 3 people under 45 with significant blockages. All three healthy, good diets, exercise often.

@cynical_subvet @marcorandazza I think all the free money is what gives the "teens" time to take over amusement parks, beaches, public events etc.

@marcorandazza I happen to agree with you, but don't forget that with that welfare and housing comes easy access to television, the internet and hallucinogens to keep them docile. The only thing that will rile them up is lack of food. Society is only 9 missed meals (3 days) from anarchy.

you fucking moron... if they don't pay taxes, then they're gonna vote for infinity spending, which means infinity corruption, and eventually they come to your house with a guillotine and an order to confiscate everything you have.

@marcorandazza Yes. They need skin in the game to care about government deficits.

@BowTiedBull Therein lies the problem. For high achievers, they will be fine.

Yeah and now you can just find companies that have no AI integration, add it, fix the revs/margins and off to the races Any new technology = new way to make money if smart

7 old books that should still be read in every high school: 1. The Apology, Plato 2. Parallel Lives, Plutarch 3. Consolation of Philosophy, Boethius 4. Confessions, Augustine of Hippo 5. The Republic, Plato 6. Meditations, Marcus Aurelius 7. Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle

reminder that modafinil is not some gay little study drug you use to pass college exams. somewhere out there this thing is being handed to pilots as "go pills" before 40 hour combat missions. if you're gonna have military-grade focus, at least have a fucking mission.

I was in the '80s, and we rarely went. Going out to eat was not a regular occurrence. I'm not saying we had a better, but was not a regular thing. And there was a fraction of the fast food franchises. In my area, we only had a KFC and McDonald's. When Burger King came in we thought we were big time.

Person who clearly did not experience McDonald’s in the 90’s: McDonald’s was a once a year treat

Law schools aren’t left. They are radically, unrelentingly, aggressively left. And in a nation of laws, the results are predictable. And bad.

If Boomers want to be exempt from property taxes, that’s fine, in exchange, Zoomers should be exempt from SSI.

I can easily explain why nobody seems to care about America’s 250th anniversary, just a month and a half away. It’s because the United States has *voluntarily* allowed itself to be populated with people who hate, or at least aren’t loyal or sentimental towards, America. Thread.
