Neolibs don't see it that way. There are people who say Yellen's ties to Wall St and speaking income being scrutinized is sexist. They're just as divorced from reality as the GOP, it's just a reality where viruses are real

having a republican state step up and hold Trump accountable, no matter what the conditions are, seems unlikely to me man. i sincerely hope i'm wrong, though

You're right, the Lincoln project folks are all about competent fascism and Meyers isn't

If you want to push the Reagan era minus the racism you aren't left with much besides bipartisanship to further goals that disproportionately gently caress over oh wait back to racism. If they did some good this election, great, but I still do not believe they acted out of anything but greed and a desire to further their own abhorrent agenda

She had a challenger in 2018 but the libs voted for her because "this isnt the time for an unknown person" and "she knows how to get things done" then after the ACB shir went ,"well yeah of course she did that they're all friends there". California neolibs don't want change unless they benefit and that's a block of 6 figure earners so you get poo poo like people voting yes on 22 because the law says theyre contractors and we can't just change that because that's the legal definition (???)

I consider myself lucky that my parents are both on the far edge of boomer, both born in 47 and 49. My mom worked in mills and worked as a labor organizer and my fathers experiences in vietnam probably helped temper them both against the onslaught of the bullshit in the news. It's baffling to me how people fall into that hole and just don't think or question anything they hear, or just don't care about other people.

Same here, my Mom went to UC Berkeley and got pepper sprayed at protests and stuff. Vietnam made my Dad do an about face on his previous political and social views real quick. Neither of them are very stoked on what's going down, to understate it.

They're definitely already working on how they get someone like Tom Cotton in to the nomination and HOPEFULLY the Dems get it through their loving heads this is all out war and just don't meet in the middle to heal and give every loving nutjob in Congress that helped make this happen a pass but as a quote I saw said (maybe here?) the only thing more insane than thinking Trump won is that the Dems will use their power

I just thought he was probably hurting for money like a lot of other hollywood types seem to be lately. Seeing more commercials with Jamie Foxx now than the last time he starred in a movie. Mostly the one for a gambling app.

I like robinhood. Giving people access to financial markets seems like a good thing to me.

Which can be done via any number of actually loving reputable brokerages. You open a TD or Fidelity or Schwab account and ask for options with zero experience they don't let you. Because that poo poo is dangerous as gently caress. Robinhood is irresponsible, unscrupulous and has allowed people to do an insane amount of harm to themselves that they shouldn't have had the opportunity to get in to in the first place were they using an actually decent brokerage.

I don't have my Series licenses anymore and I no longer work in FinTech, but there is no real "low cost" trading, you can use a discount brokerage like TD Ameritrade but you'll always have some fee or commission. Additionally, trading is inherently high cost due to the lingering potential that you stand to POSSIBLY lose your entire capital investment.
If you're looking for an investment vehicle, find commission-free ETFs to buy and hold long term (5yr+). I think the market's going to heavily favor Green Energy stuff for the near term, so find a good fund that doesn't include Tesla.

Also consider avoiding Plug Power

TD's Think or Swim platform gives you real time market data with 500 in your account, otherwise you're on a 20 minute delay. They also have a market play back feature that allows you to replay a few months back to 48 hours prior which is extremely helpful if you gravitate towards active trading, which should 100% not be done until you know how to position and swing trade and then should only be undertaken in ridiculously small sizes.

everyone involved got off easy. one of the SEALs hit on the victim's wife in the aftermath, too. loving bullshit

one of my buddies recently came back from Coronado. as he told it a SEAL CPO gave a talk about how they want men with integrity and told a story of one of his teammates killing a woman just for the sake of it on a raid. he asked the candidates if they would run it up the pole if a teammate did that and my boy raised his hand and was the only guy to in the room. he got dropped from training shortly thereafter despite failing no evolutions. i wasn't there so i can't validate but having known and worked with the guy he's owned every screw up AND given the culture in NSW that tracks

You can always invest hundreds of hours in to learning how to read companies books, learning to trade and testing your strategies on small scale, taking meticulous notes, creating playbooks of your best trade setups, doing daily report cards on your performance and journaling, spending your weekend time analyzing charts and identifying setups and stocks for the future and developing a network of other serious experienced traders to learn from and committing to improving a day at a time and recognize it takes years as an alternative to just putting it in index funds if you want to learn to do it yourself.

Or you could YOLO some deep OTM PLTR calls because WSB is on that pump again.

So many of my coworkers day trade pretty hard now. It's going to be interesting to see their reaction if the bottom falls out since I know some of them have a ton of money in the market right now. And then there's the one that used part of a HELOC to buy more Tesla stock. I don't know if she owns anything but Tesla stock either.

I should probably look into investing since I have a pretty obscene amount of money just sitting in checking accounts(they at least all draw decent interest) but I'm just really lazy and don't give a gently caress. I honestly don't care about making more money and that attitude blows so many of the people I work with away.

I'm one of those weirdos who likes the challenge of trading and how it's a big puzzle. I'm hoping this trait is what leaves me with capital when everything falls apart versus my old coworkers who told me I'm an idiot for not going all in on NIO. Or as Sean, who now won't talk to me because I called him out on being a misogynist says, "It's not a loss until you sell".
