  • If you have a 401k you are probably a holder of Tesla stock since it’s in the index funds.

    This is one of the bigger problems with the current stock market where investment decisions for a huge amount of the capital in the market is being made mechanically by looking only at the market capitalization of the company. We end up in a hyperreal situation where if you pump hard enough on a stock you can basically “manifest” a blue-chip label on it and then leverage everyone’s retirement accounts to keep it








  • This is liberal cope.

    I’ve seen tons of Bernie people from 2016 become Trupists. Several have become full-on groypers. The reason is clear: Bernie got curbstomped and these people are still looking for some other solution because they’re still precarious.

    Liberals are still clinging to the basket of deplorables. They want to think that not being a liberal is a moral failing, or a sign of weak breeding or something. They can’t admit that all the punching left they’ve been doing over decades while scolding, preening, etc and sucking up to corporate elites they serve has created the terrifying right-wing moment that we’re in. And they’ll going to be smugly declaring themselves to be on the right side of history as they get thrown into the camps with the rest of us.

    Leor was listed on Forbes 30 Under 30
