Islamic scholar in the UK is very angry and threatens to rip out the tongue of anyone who dares to criticize Islam and Muhammad. “Infidels are getting too comfortable around Muslims, and we are ready for mortal combat.” How is this not incitement to violence?

@WarriorTrading - Do you see a potential asset shift on $STAI and $JTAI ? Looks like Volume spiked up on STAI - the same time on $JTAI - but in opposing directions. I'm still new, maybe this is obvious stuff - but was curious about those situations. Thanks!

I would argue, the single most effective thing that can be done for #Veterans is to take whoever is in charge of the VA, Tricare, MyHealthEBenefits websites and fire them immediately. The log in process and constant down time is laughable. @elonmusk Find the waste please.

@WarriorTrading ironing out my strategy and hotkeys, once I'm paper trading smoothly, I'm going pro and full committing to the Warrior Trading Community, just being a fly on the wall of the chatroom over the past 2 days has given me FOMO for not profits, but community!

Here are some notes on the anti-billionaire ideology - and why it might do more harm than good: At the heart of the frustration with wealth inequality - especially among younger people - are several overlapping ideas. Broadly, they stem from the following premises: 1. Zero-Sum View of Wealth: Many who rail against “billionaire greed” subscribe to an implicit zero-sum assumption that if the rich are gaining wealth, it must be coming at the direct expense of everyone else. This perspective sees the economic pie as fixed; a bigger slice for billionaires means a smaller slice for ordinary people. 2. Moral Indictment of Profit: There is also an underlying moral stance that profits at very high levels are inherently exploitative. Under this view, earning billions can only happen through unethical means - mistreating workers, hiking prices, or bending regulations. 3. Suspicion of Capitalism Itself: An increasingly vocal segment of young people critiques market economies as rigged or fundamentally unjust. They note that, in their eyes, capitalism privileges capital (ownership) at the expense of labor (wages), and perpetuates a system that traps people in lower socioeconomic strata. 4. Focus on “Equality of Outcome” Over “Equality of Opportunity”: The critique often goes beyond wanting fair chances for everyone. Instead, it emphasizes the relative gap between the top and bottom, rejecting the idea that big disparities can exist even when upward mobility is possible. 5. Conflation of Net Worth With Liquid Cash: A common misconception is that billionaires have all their “net worth” in spendable forms. In reality, most wealth is tied up in assets (stock in a company, real estate, etc.). This fuels the anger because it appears that billionaires “hoard” money and choose not to share it. Why These Ideas Can Be Misleading or Harmful 1. Zero-Sum Thinking Overlooks Wealth Creation In many industries—think technology, medicine, communications—total wealth isn’t static. When someone creates a product or service that millions of people value (like smartphones, software, or life-saving drugs), it grows the economic pie. That’s not to say exploitative practices don’t exist, but simplistic zero-sum frameworks gloss over the dynamic, generative nature of innovation. 2. Misplaced Moral Indictment Painting all (or most) large-scale profit as immoral doesn’t address nuances: there are ethical ways to build wealth (improving supply chains, investing in local communities, fair business practices) and unethical ways (sweatshops, unfair contracts, environmental destruction). Lumping all billionaires into the “bad guy” category overlooks differences between, say, a biotech founder who develops critical medicines versus a predatory lender. 3. Ignoring the Benefits of Investment Much billionaire wealth can be tied to investments that themselves foster economic growth and job creation. When venture capitalists fund startups, they often take on significant risk. While it can lead to high personal returns, it also creates industries (and jobs) from the ground up. The ideology that all returns on investments are undeserved fails to account for the role that investment plays in building healthy economies. 4. Weakening Incentives Kills Innovation When the system heavily penalizes individuals who become extremely successful, it removes the natural “carrot” that drives ambitious endeavors. Launching a startup or spearheading a major breakthrough usually involves massive risks — entrepreneurs sacrifice time, money, and personal stability on a venture that might fail. If the potential rewards are cut off or capped too drastically, fewer people will bother to take the leap. This doesn’t just affect a handful of hopeful billionaires; it reverberates throughout society as whole industries and transformative ideas (whether in medicine, clean energy, or technology) never get off the ground. In other words, when wealth creation stops being worthwhile, everyone loses out on progress, jobs, and critical innovations that improve lives. 5. “Taxing Billionaires Out of Existence” Derails Society This approach doesn’t just strip personal fortunes; it severs the capital fueling innovation, startups, and major philanthropic efforts. Without high-stakes investments, lifesaving research and transformative technologies often stall. A scorched-earth method of “leveling wealth” might sound fair, but it ultimately starves society of the breakthroughs and funding necessary for widespread progress. Yes, young adults face serious economic pressures - from soaring housing costs to student debt - but framing every concern as “wealth inequality” injects a needless negativity that can distort the real issues. A more constructive focus is keeping living costs down and creating a robust, opportunity-rich economy. That means controlling inflation - primarily through efficient government spending and lower national debt - while removing barriers to innovation and enterprise. By prioritizing stable monetary policy, competitive markets, and better education, we give more people the tools to thrive, rather than just harping on “inequality.”
