I expect much bigger influxes. From at least a few dozen people with hundreds of accounts. Probably around the time of an election.

Well, they can think of it as a PR stunt/lobbying that helped get this done.

I think it's logistics. They threw him in a pit with a hundred other guys. Maybe you can find the one who will claim he's supposed to get out.

In many cases on social media the "majority" opinion is crafted by external entities.

Except for Luigi. They couldn't control that one.

I wonder what percentage of your comments are about pushing people off of LW.

LW mods generally don't have more than one major community. It's not a rule, but we have made a bit of an effort to avoid reddit-style supermods.

I agree, that's a good message. Vote in primaries.

That IS what you meant, right?

Yes, everything bad that happens is really caused by the Dems.

Our best option is clearly to not vote. You've convinced me.

My point is that despite there being a public component, this information was targeted.

Well, you and I can't. You'd need a previous heads up that it's market manipulation vs begging.

They can' literally print money. They don't even have to print it.

Ironically, it would weaken the dollar enough that the rich would lose money on their tax cuts. So in that sense you're right. I just don't want anyone thinking that the government actually needs to find all the money it spends.

You'd have to be watching the speech, ready to react within a minute it two and you could have caught most of it.

DJI with source.

Just search for DJI and go to 1pm on the 9th.

But OP was on SPY.

"Great time to buy" could just as easily be "plz make stock market go up". You can't really make a decision based on that statement.

Sometimes you even get to show off the cool, useful shit you built for them!

Vance could be relatively good. Signs point to no, but those signs are weak. The only thing I truly know about him is that he'll lie for power. What he does once he gets that power is anyone's guess.

He's close to Peter Thiel. His book is really fucking condescending towards the rural poor. (Why don't they just get out like he did?) He's young enough to go for a second term if he gets half a first term. And he hates Trump except when he needs to use him to gain power.

That's the complete record of what we know about Vance. Maybe his book was bullshit that he knew would play well with rich conservatives. Maybe he was using Peter Thiel. Maybe there's a human in there we've never seen. Or maybe not.

The budget bill? Things were going to be worse if there was a shutdown that hands more power to the executive.

El Salvador.

Neither will the color of your skin.

That's part of why everyone should have cared about BLM, even for purely selfish reasons. The cops will kill you if they don't like you. They have enough room to not like black people AND to not like you.

How much more risk are they really taking if they report a random, white citizen vs a brown green card holder? Neither is legal. Does it matter.

I don't know why people think they're safe just because they're not a minority. Our police problem has spread. Now it's the cops, ICE, half the judges, and the administration.

And now that would be the reason they didn't get elected.

It's an excellent accounting by the person running the country. It's going better than planned.
