The manager said “no”, called me “vibe killer” as he escorted me out and locked the door behind me.

A meth-head said “welcome to the club” and invited me to IHOP, so, not a total loss.

Old kinda idiot. Marketing Dept pumping stock with “white paper”.

The Canadian Government is hurting its own people by not telling anyone the truth. Carney, take your own advice and take the sign out of the window please.

Thank you for your kind act of mercy.

The good news is my bra is off. The bad news is my manboobs are sagging and the conversation in the room turned awkward.

Yes, but don’t call me Shirley.

Be good looking. Everything is easier when you are good looking.

Edit: Lose weight, take care of hair and skin. Clothes, style all help.

Oh, we’re definitely in BIIIG trouble.

Was it propped up by international goodwill/trust/fear which we have now burned?

Partially. US markets were loved globally due to perceived openness, depth, low geopolitical risk and liquidity for amounts that are difficult to move otherwise.

US tomfuckery has altered the risk profile so quickly and so badly, money is not able to measure risk meaningfully. To be clear, it’s not a moral stance. Money is psychopathic. A lot of the US psychopathy suits money just fine. But there is a bit of a panic on geopolitical risks and global banks, insurance and pension funds are shifting stances as we speak. This hasn’t been as damaging as it should have been, because it was dwarfed by older phenomena.

The other things fundamentally driving markets up is twofold. 1-The efficient retail investor who holds ETFs that just lets markets float on inflation like a rubber duck in a tub. As your dollar inflates, more dollars pour in as long as populations grow. You can piece together the difficult phase we’re entering here. The idea of a market return at all is getting deeply suspect with low birthrates and aging societies.

2 - Petro State investments. Rich middle eastern oil producers know that their cash cow will die one day, and fossil fuels will be abandoned almost completely, except for chemical feedstocks. These countries have no other resources. They are building sovereign wealth funds, private and public where the money has to go into whatever the market has to offer. Price, value, ROI are all secondary to parking that cash somewhere where it can endure. The geopolitical risks of a fascist US empire are secondary to getting those countries’ lifeblood, oil money, parked somewhere usefull. They are not exactly panicking, but they are desperate.

My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel.

This is way too wholesome to be a shitpost.

From the … gecko? From the get-go. Boneappletea in the wild, or autocorrect gone wrong?

It’s always projection. This means the dark empire is weaponizing commercial drones and wifi routers and everything else. They don’t want anyone to do to them, what they will now do to you.

Their checks and balances were the senate and supreme court. They lost all three at the same time to a party hellbent on going Vader.

Wait until the rest of the world figures out that Epstein wasn’t the only kompromat operation. There are several, simultaneously running ops from Russia, China, US, Israel, and likely quite a few more. Honeypots that include children where advantageous towards agency goals.

It’s not like the current US admin have any reservations whatsoever in using children this way.

If you’re at a dining table with 11 other people and one of them is a Nazi, you are at a Nazi dinner party, with 12 Nazis.

It’s an AND not an OR. Let’s not go to war. Work from home, build public transit and everything else to stop using fossil fuels.
