Kinda no? Its not had a great last few years.

I hate that this is the best reason I have seen.

Why?

This is the global political equivalent of standing on the couch and shouting “PEACE!”. No one is taking the idea of letting russia get away with territory and any form of immunity seriously.

Ukraine has already stated it is not able to legally sign away territory (a big part of this bullshit “deal”). This is dead in the water unless there is a regime change in Ukraine, something that would likely cause even more issues.

I have seen a move away from office products into cloud things like google for years. Not a huge fan of the “cloud” but here we are.

Ha, the sad part is that meth use will increase inversely relative to the average households buying power. Meth is always affordable… just need to rip the wires out of your houses skin.

I first noticed the raw material value oddity was years ago when a bank was trying to sell me on a saving product, the return was below inflation and therefor useless. So I looked it up and if I bought a large amount of lead, and put it in my yard the lead cube would (even with the lead being loss into my grass) be worth enough after 10 years to give a better return then what the bank was offering.

Bail out almost anyone that bought tech stocks? Seems unlikely, and it would be basically admitting the end of the stock markets legitimacy. Bailouts tend to be for companies on the edge of collapse.

Really anything that has value outside of a currency, and the funny part is that raw materials often out preform other ways of investing like GICs. Not talking about silver or gold but like a literal ton of copper or iron ore.

Now the trick is where to put the stuff…

I am at a loss to what that would even look like. The bubble popping would mean the admission of AI (LLMs) not having a viable path to usefulness or return, so then what would a bail out even be? Money? To what end, the bubble would have burst and the idea of AI (LLMs) being anything but a money pit would be what makes the bubble burst in the first place. Unless they can show a path to profit (they can’t) then the bubble will burst in time or continue in an endless zombie state where they just pretend that somehow AI (LLMs) are the future while burning capital. If it does go into a zombie state (as so many other things in the us market are becoming) then the whole market will just slowly fail as the “hype” turns into disappointment. The only reason that the zombie state would be preferable is that entities need to invest their money somewhere and maybe some other thing in the market can take AI (LLMs) place, but even then why bother bailing out anyone?

I meant the nation, in its entirety.

Cut the Failed Red States Loose

That system fell apart when they showed they could not count to 9. 10 Should have been 9, and it was mid at best.

I live in north America and would find it kinda neat.

One can dream.

Oh that we disagree with, Canada is more then good enough for such a simple task.

I did not have the same rhetoric when Biden was in office, come now this is next level putting words in my past hypothetical mouth.

We agree that the two party system is and has been a total joke of a democratic system however.

Canada, what is your point? We have our issues but last I checked we are not trying to take over Greenland.

When did I state otherwise? I know every nation is not immune, that is why american exceptionalism is frustrating.

It was a terrible campaign spoken to people who where/are hurting telling them they where actually in fact doing great.

It was worse then doing nothing, saying it was mostly nothing is being kind. Once again they just assumed they would win and forgot that people looking for any help will swallow lies over the safer status quo choice. That is why when the big man gamble blew up in their face they vote blue again. The real issue is this is why the dems never have to change, they don’t even oppose the other side anymore, they just wait to have their turn.

Watching this mess is just infuriating, seeing the endless exceptionalism and team based bullshit more so.
