Future Vittles

Whether he likes it or not, @ryancohen has set himself up as a brand, and @gamestop shareholders his customers. His customer service mantra is why I invested. Unfortunately I, and my ROI, feel the opposite of “delighted.” Maybe I can get a bereavement letter from his assistant.

@Comedyorwat What does this mean? When I click on the Target logo on Google maps,m this comes up on the side... "Get GameStop Near me Games" 🤔

@monotanus Well said. Just a little bit more clarity would go a long way. RC may have wanted this thing to happen sooner as well, but due to legal issues, unforeseen circumstances, etc, he couldn't make it happen. But at least drop us some crumbs that that's the case.

It is entirely possible to have genuine confidence in RC’s vision and ability to execute while also believing that more than a reasonable amount of time has passed while GME has been intentionally withholding delivery of shareholder value. We have gone from “buckle up” to talk of “decades and centuries,” which highlights the need for greater clarity about what defines a reasonable time horizon, especially with GME. It's been over 5 years, at least for me, drsd as much as possible. At some point, indefinite delays and feeling like you are constantly being edged, especially for many long-term shareholders...well it isn't healthy or funny anymore. It's just quite frankly, genuinely kind of sad. I have no intention of selling because I still believe in the broader vision and in RC’s ability to execute, as well as Carl and Brett. At some point though, we need to see real courage, given the emotional and financial toll this has taken on countless long-term shareholders, followed by action that justifies the trust we have continued to place in them. x.com/Hey_ross/statu…

@Hey_ross Just the lack of straight talk has been disrespectful at best. I understand you can't give away the game plan, but just a few nuggets here and there (to balance out BS cryptic tweets) would go a long way in showing you actually respect the shareholders supporting you.

@Jackkk hah! @Danny_Clinch... this one of your photos?

Threadguy realizes that NFTs could disrupt the ENTIRE art market "I bought this $600 photograph of Bob Dylan. It says 1/50 on the back and it has like a signature on the front from the photographer. I walk out the gallery and I’m looking at it and I’m like wait how do I know if this is real?” “So I start talking to Claude and I'm asking all these questions like how do I know there’s only 50 of these photographs. Claude’s like, well you don’t exactly” “So I’m sitting here thinking did I just spend $600 on a piece of printer paper? Claude’s like well maybe.. You’re telling me the art market is worth BILLIONS and the whole thing is just based on trust?”

@ryancohen I appreciate that our capital is revered but it would be nice if its value reflected the positive transformation that @gamestop has undergone under your supervision. If the days of being polite are over, what are you and the board doing to address this misalignment.

The Hollow Men American capitalism is rotting from the head down. We have replaced the "Owner-Operator"—the risk-taker-with a new, parasitic class of corporate bureaucrat: The Risk-Free Insider. By "Insider," I am not referring to a specific title. I am referring to the entire administrative state that has captured the modern corporation. This includes the Directors who exist solely to collect fees, the Executives who exist solely to collect bonuses, and the Managers who exist solely to hire consultants. These are the hollow men of the boardroom. They are masters of PowerPoint. They wear the right suits. They say the right buzzwords about "governance" and "ESG." But they are mercenaries fighting a war with someone else’s ammunition. In a functioning economy, authority is tied to liability. If you make a bad decision, you lose your own money. That fear of loss is the only thing that keeps a business honest. It forces you to cut waste, obsess over the customer, and stay late to fix what is broken. Today, we have severed that link. We have rigged the game so that heads, the Insider wins; tails, the shareholder loses. If the stock goes up, the Insider collects a massive performance bonus. If the stock crashes due to their own incompetence, they are fired with a "Golden Parachute" worth tens of millions. They are gambling with the house’s money, and they never leave the table poorer than they arrived. This looting starts in the boardroom. We have normalized a "Country Club" culture where directors are selected based on social profiling rather than their ability to build a business. The modern board member is often a professional tourist—paid an average of $350,000 a year. Let’s be brutally honest about what that number represents. The average director is paid nearly five times the GDP per capita of the United States. They earn more for attending four quarterly lunches than the vast majority of Americans earn in five years of hard labor. And for what? Most of these directors are "over-boarded," sitting on three or four boards simultaneously. They treat directorships as a gig economy for the elite. They fly in, rubber-stamp a compensation package they didn't read, and fly out. They collect checks from companies they do not understand, do not use, and certainly do not love. They are not there to ask hard questions. They are there to be collegial. They are there to protect the other Insiders. And what happens when these boards hire executives who also have no personal capital at risk? We get the Delegation Economy. When a Risk-Free Insider faces a crisis—bloated expenses, a broken supply chain, or a stale product—they do not roll up their sleeves. They hire a consultant. They pay a strategy firm millions of shareholder dollars to produce a 100-page deck telling them what they already know. This is not management. It is intellectual money laundering. They use shareholder capital to buy an insurance policy for their own careers. If the plan fails, they can blame the consultants. They delegate the work because they are terrified of the responsibility. They would rather preside over a slow, comfortable decline than risk a bold mistake. While American Insiders are busy optimizing their severance packages, our global competitors are optimizing their products. They are not slowed down by bureaucracy. They are not waiting for a slide deck. They are outworking us. If we continue to fill our C-suites with administrators instead of operators, we will lose our edge. We will see iconic American franchises hollowed out by fees, managed for the benefit of the Insiders, while the true owners—the shareholders—are left holding the bag. The time for polite governance is over. If we want to save the American economy from mediocrity, we must demand a return to the "Owner’s Mentality." We need leaders who treat shareholder capital with the same reverence they treat their own savings. The era of the Risk-Free Insider must end.

Hi @ryancohen @larryvc. Someone sure doesn't want to see $gme succeed. $32 seems like a quaint little fairytale somewhere over the rainbow. Will wishes come true? Or did you get snatched by flying monkeys.

@AustinTobitt @pulte @ThePPseedsShow @PhantomBlack699 @jake2b I follow from a distance, but what would be the endgame of people pushing $BBBYQ where the shares aren't even in play? No one's charging a fee for the hopium. Well, some may. But I hope people wouldn't be dumb enough to pay.

Just watched "The Cult of the Dead Stock". How have I not seen this before. You're all sh*t. Grifting. Lying. Pieces. Of. Sh*t. @pulte @ThePPseedsShow @PhantomBlack699 @jake2b All of you.. And more. I have all the dirt I need, but I found more. I'm gonna bury you with it. $BBBYQ youtu.be/C5Bd6YxifCo?si…

@WaltRuff Bussi needs to be protected at all costs.

Brandon Bussi goes on a Pyotr Kochetkov-esque adventure, but recovers with a stellar save. Wow.

@thejackhopkins We’ve always had two competing belief systems in this country battling it out. And to change a tribe's core ideology is an uphill, almost insurmountable, task.

@thejackhopkins The faces of today’s GOP are just the latest version of visible sores of the deep rooted infection of racism and bigotry ingrained in our nation's DNA. Getting rid of them does not cure the underlying disease.

Let me say this as clearly as possible, because people keep getting it wrong. Republican lawmakers didn’t stick with Trump because they were hypnotized...terrified...or somehow helpless. They stuck with him because he’s one of them. Trump didn’t corrupt a moral party. He exposed a corrupt one. If Trump were merely embarrassing...reckless...or rude... they would have dumped him years ago. Politicians abandon liabilities fast. What they don’t abandon...are mutual liabilities. Trump normalized behavior that many of them were already guilty of: ethical shortcuts...financial murkiness... abuse of power...contempt for oversight... lying as policy. He didn’t invent the rot...he gave it cover. And here’s the part people don’t like to hear: For a lot of Republicans in Congress, Trump isn’t the risk. Accountability is. Trump absorbs attention like a sponge. While everyone is watching his circus...others operate quietly in the shadows. He’s not a distraction...he’s a shield. A very useful one. Once they crossed certain lines together...election lies, January 6th...obstruction...weaponization of government ...there was no clean exit. Loyalty became self-preservation. Defection meant subpoenas...investigations...and career death. That’s why the so-called “good Republicans” vanished. They weren’t persuaded. They were purged. Retired. Primaried. Marginalized. What you’re seeing now isn’t universal agreement...it’s selection pressure. Only those comfortable with ethical decay remain. This is how systems rot. Not with villains twirling mustaches...but with people who decide, one compromise at a time, that survival matters more than principle. Trump didn’t take over the GOP. The GOP recognized itself in Trump. And that’s why expecting them to “come to their senses” is a fantasy. You can’t ask people to enforce standards that would incriminate them. The alliance holds...because it has to. That’s not psychology. That’s incentive structure. And until people stop confusing fear...with complicity... they’ll keep being shocked by behavior that was always predictable.

Maybe we should've allowed secession. The idea of states united was grand and ambitious, but the people who saw, and still see that vision, have forever been shackled by the weight of racism and bigotry which is a significant part of this country's DNA. It’s time to unshackle.

Hey @Hey_ross. If you're still in Raleigh, you should make time to check out the monks traveling through on their walk from Texas to DC. They'll be there Saturday and maybe Sunday depending on the weather. Best info is here... facebook.com/walkforpeaceus…

@paxtrader777 I feel the middle class, at least what many picture in their heads, started in the 50's (through the 60's) and was an anomaly. The success of future generations couldn't have happened w/o help from that first class. But the tide can only stay high for so long before receding.

I have always been center/right. I am prof-life througg and through, I like lower taxes, Less regulation, less government intrusion & intervention and no war except in true self defense. That said, have a question-how do we bring back the middle class? The majority of American not own a 401k or 1 share of stock. Our jobs have been off shored since I was a kid. Everyone is drowning in debt & swimming in cheap poorly made things. Less and less people can own homes and the dollar continues to erode yet and through it all we have never had more billionaires on our way to actual trillionaires. What is the answer? Dont be an asshole in this thread, be respectful of one another. We are all in this together.

@Canes I think it's time to... Let Freddie go. ☹️

Let’s go, Freddie 💪

Hey @Topstep @MichaelPatak I fixed your banner for ya. #topstep

@MichaelPatak @Topstep WHAT THE FUCK! Again... issues! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Get back to us when you're fucking bulletproof. Actually don't. You guys are the ones selling shovels to speculators. You don't care if the handle breaks.

Real talk @Topstep community-I hear you, and I hear the frustration. We’ve grown wild fast this year because we have the best program. But with that growth, we haven’t delivered the best trading experience or the best support — and that’s on us. We see it. We’re fixing it. Adjustments to improve your trading and support experience are our top priority... More details soon...
