It is worth remembering that when looking at the Nasdaq, one thing that differentiated the record 102% gain of 1999 and the latter stages of the blowout top in 1Q 2000 was the shift in volatility. Nasdaq vol consistently declined in 1999, but rose sharply ~3M before the actual peak in the index. zerohedge.com/the-market-ear…

A man in Pattaya reportedly confronted a Thai woman in a restaurant because he thought her symbol was connected to Nazi Germany. But in Thailand and many parts of Asia, similar ancient symbols can have Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, or cultural meanings connected to good fortune, well-being, and spirituality. Yes, the Nazi use of the symbol is hateful and should never be ignored. But context matters. You cannot travel to another country, misunderstand local culture, attack someone, and then call it “content.” Ask first. Learn first. Respect first.

Animal Farm by George Orwell, in short: 1. Old Major, the fattest pig on the farm, delivers a sermon about "liberation." He has never missed a meal in his life – but he is the most envious of the Man – the producer, the entrepreneur… 2. “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy” – the ideology is manufactured from the start, designed not to free the animals but to direct their resentment away from the pigs and toward a useful target. Every revolution needs an enemy. The pigs chose the farmer. 3. The revolution’s commandments were never a constitution. They were a management tool – sacred enough to motivate, vague enough to rewrite, and controlled from the beginning by the only ones who could read – the pigs. 4. Boxer the horse, the most honest creature on the farm, decent, loyal yet naive, totally devoted, responds to every setback with the same answer: “I will work harder!” He means it completely. He works himself half to death. It is the most heartbreaking sentence in the book – because the new system is perfectly designed to absorb exactly that kind of devotion and give nothing back. When he finally collapses from exhaustion, he is sold to the knacker. For cash. The pigs buy more whisky with the proceeds. The other animals are told he died in a hospital receiving the best care. The most useful animal on the farm is the one who never once suspects he is the product. 5. The commandments get rewritten at night not because power corrupted the revolution – the rewriting was always the plan. Language was the weapon from the first speech Old Major ever gave. 6. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” – this is not the system’s failure. It is the system’s true face, finally visible once the animals are too exhausted and confused to object. 7. Orwell’s message: the lie came first. And the "liberation" it promised delivered something far worse than what came before – because the fattest pig was merely selfish at the start, but by the end is selfish and fluent in the language of "justice." He took all the eggs. He took everything. And made the hens thank him for it. The fattest pig knew what he was doing all along…

Atlas Shrugged made simple: 1. Society runs on a small number of highly capable producers – industrialists, inventors, engineers – whose work everyone depends on but takes for granted. 2. The system starts rewarding need over achievement: the more capable you are, the more

As someone who lives in Portugal which already stops every single package you get from outside EU with no exceptions for a decade or more: I can tell you how this will go From now on if you receive a package from outside EU, it'll first go missing for weeks and nobody will know where it is, then you'll receive an email from your country's customs agency They'll make you login to some extremely unusable and outdated web portal which breaks half the time and where you have to classify your shipment in one of 10,000 confusing category codes Depending on the category code you'll pay a different tax rate, sometimes it's 5% sometimes it's 60% Then you have to pay the customs duty in some archaic way that will also be broken half the time And then you'll finally receive your package from outside EU after months Experiencing this for a few times you'll realize you will never ever try to order or receive anything from outside EU ever because the ordeal is too painful and expensive I get asked a lot here by people from US to test out new products (like the guy who made the Minimal Phone) and it's just literally impossible for me to receive it even for testing. I tried to classify it as samples for testing but you need to go through a bureaucratic process of insane lengths to get that through so I just gave up Realistically all this does is make Europeans live even more in the stone ages, as now they can't use modern AI, nor get modern products from outside EU because it'll be too much hassle to order

Communism always goes the same way. They smile & promise you the world. Free this, free that, abundance for all! How? Don't ask! Then they get into power, and the rationing begins. First a smiley ask. Then a demand. Then a bullet. "You used too much energy, comrade"

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool. Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can. Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings,

„Citizen Vigilante“-Regisseur bei AUF1! Uwe Boll spricht nach Film-Zensur in Deutschland Klartext: ◾️ "Der Staat funktioniert insgesamt nicht mehr." ◾️"Die Gerichte funktionieren nicht mehr, die Leute werden überhaupt nicht bestraft." ◾️"Es wird quasi eine Täter-Opfer-Umkehr durchgeführt." ◾️"Man versucht, die Realität mit Propaganda und Verboten zu verändern." ◾️"Dann immer so: die traumatisierten armen Migranten, die mussten natürlich dieses Mädchen vergewaltigen." ◾️"Hätte ich im Film sechs Neonazis gezeigt, die so eine Migrantin vergewaltigen, wäre ich wahrscheinlich der Eröffnungsfilm der nächsten Berlinale." ◾️"Ich rufe nicht zu Gewalt auf; ich zeige, wie es enden kann, wenn man Probleme nicht löst." ◾️"In allen anderen Ländern sind meine Filme ungekürzt zu sehen, nur in Deutschland nicht." Elon Musk hat den Verkauf des Films massiv angeschoben, alleine 18 Mio. Aufrufe bei X.

The US ended Germany access to cheap energy by destroying Nord Stream and then provided economic incentives for the struggling German industries to relocate to the US. However, our "journalists" can inform us the problem is a "full-blown assault" by China.

Ro Khanna reported his children's ownership in three private golf clubs & the income they received from them on page 126 of his 2024 financial disclosure. Good luck finding this on your own. The document isn't text-searchable and these tables are designed to be unreadable

Part of me thinks it’s good for Kentanji to use slang in her SCOTUS writings. It discredits the entire institution. She gets attacked - and people on the left who agree with the attacks feel compelled to defend her. SCOTUS has way too much power over basic political questions.

This is how politicians and their families launder money. Nobody wants a book from Dr Biden. But some commie NGO that got taxpayer money from the admin can’t pay the kickback with a check. So they buy 100K books and burn em. The one-time bulk buy charts it for a week, then 💨
