Oh I’m not trying to defend or exalt China. I’m saying that we should be like China when it comes to dealing with billionaires. Or even better, be like Vietnam, when the court ordered a billionaire who defrauded thousands to pay in time or be executed.

Hasn’t the leader of The Proud Boys dildoed himself on live TV to “own the libs?”

UBI when?

I could still access .world though.

Quiet quitting is such a bizarre phrase for me as Irish. As long as we do our jobs right, we can do whatever we want. At the end of the day, a job is meant to put food on the table, not be your life. Even some of the worst companies I have worked have a laidback attitude compared to workplaces abroad.

At least China is right about not bailing out their companies when their own property bubble collapsed.

I do. You are talking about how communism is so great, that I am vindicating you how Westerners were desperately risking their lives to get to communist countries.

I mean, sure, those who clawed their way out of the Berlin Wall, vault poled over electric fences in the DMZ, defected with a top secret Soviet plane as insurance to be allowed to stay in the West, and swam the Caribbean to desperately leave communist countries surely love communism.

“I like to say I love communism without under duress.”

“I love communism not because I am a card-carrying party member.”

“The fact that more people fled from communist countries than coming in means those people are crazy.”

The Troubles was so long ago for me that the character quirk went over my head.

We should end these and start class war. Class divide is the root cause of it all.

The metrics probably doesn’t include those who were in gulags and died of famines.

The rise in communist party membership you speak of maybe increased by 100%, when two new members joined an already two member communist party.

Wake me up when communist slogans are getting viral on Tiktok and Instagram, and if communists are getting elected in huge numbers on national level across the world.

People love getting high on nostalgia when things aren’t looking up well in the present moment. Even many of those who were under fascism are nostalgic of it. That’s the point of nostalgia: only remembering the good parts of the past while pretending the bad never happened.

Thanks for the info. Silly me didn’t realise Nvidia doesn’t manufacture semiconductors. I thought Nvidia also does because they are one of the leaders in GPU. Speaking of GPUs, at the very least they command the GPU market.

I also invested in TSMC.

ASML is way too expensive for my taste. I’ve been hoping they will do split stock so I could get in.

Nvidia has near monopoly on semiconductors. Even if Nvidia stocks crash, they will recover. I just trimmed my own shares on Nvidia to cushion the blow.

But AI trading is (theoretically) about spotting and predicting long term trends in the market, not front running active trades.

Yeah, AI has been useful finding leads for me. So far, it had been correct with some long term market predictions. I asked AI of the resilience of the renewable energy sector, and it had been correct since my renewable stocks have grown in face of tech stocks sell off and broader market uncertainty. But I suppose it’s a no-brainer considering that the renewable energy sector is still utilities, and utilities are go-to defensive investments in the face of market downturn.

I just use AI for projected profits and losses, and determine earnings schedule and report. I also trade in international markets and I have used AI as well. And like a lucky gold miner prospecting, AI helped me with finding good leads in the international market.

But of course, in spite all that, you have to have due diligence. You still have to verify if what the AI is saying is correct.
