    When she’s on tour, the jet when she’s touring on serves the entertainment of lots of people, not just her. In the same way a venue does. When divided among lots of people it’s meaningless fraction of the transportation of the audience.

    I also think worrying about a few people is a way to discredit climate change concerns.

    Regulations and investing in better energy sources are what matters. I don’t give a fuck about a few rich fucks with yachts and airplanes. I care about policy and how society distributes resources and energy.

    All aviation accounts for less than 2% of emissions. Private jets are a tiny fraction of that. But now we’re talking about that instead of the actual issue. This serves climate change deniers. This serves the Republican agenda, and the pertrol agenda. You’re doing that right now.

    “Climate change exists”

    “Religion shouldn’t allow governments to prevent basic healthcare needs”

    “January 6 was a failed insurrection”

    These are the things that the right calls indoctrination.

    And the hard left calls not important enough to bother voting.




  • Ryan cohen doesn’t need to be brilliant to turn 1 billion into 50 million in profit annually. Video game retail will not make them a profit. But that 50m will negate enough losses to appear profitable. But no one intended to invest a in a retailer that fails to profit from retail, and only profit from cash pulled from a miracle squeeze.

    People expected a MOASS years ago. They cheered for nfts and web3. None of those things will ever come to light. Now we are banking on a low return hedge fund. With a dog food twitter troll running the show.

    There is zero chance gme makes a profit in store. Or online.

    Used games. lol.

    Batteries. lol.

    Gift cards. lol.

    DD means knowing the the downsides. There is no DD in the gme cult.






  • When borrowing rates are lower than investment returns borrowing just makes good financial sense.

    I could pay off my home loan today, but at 2.5% interest why, when I can keep that money and leave it in a safe high return investment? I’d be losing 10s of thousands a year in returns for my retirement to save a few thousand in mortgage interest.

    Same thing with cars.

    Then again, I don’t even buy new cars. I just get a dependable used Japanese car and drive it until it dies at 300k miles.
