"...and also grants a number of perks like an exclusive Discord community..." 😬
Same Op, someone gave me one of his books once and it was just sausage remade of the actual works and effort of other with nothing interesting added. A fool and his money was the one lesson he did seem to have internalized...
I'll end this easily won war in, 24 hours tops.
Economics and making them feel the pain will get them results sooner, though both approaches are warranted.
The EU and global stocks are already surging as the US is in full retreat from anything but christofascist grifterdom. Shooting themselves in the foot, destroying close ally relationships, handing economic and infrastructure future to China and others on a platter (sustainable energy, batteries and electrification, education, transportation...).
Just like despots in North korea, Thailand ore anywhere else, the dictators will cut themselves off, keep themselves rich while their actual power wanes. And eventually be overthrown, but of course it will be all too late for the US by then. Probably have to fight Qatari drone armies to try to take back our national parks that will have been privatized.
Fucking no! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_Scouts_of_America_sex_abuse_cases
"In 2010, a jury ordered that the Boy Scouts of America pay US$18.5 million (equivalent to $27.3 million in 2025) to a scout who was abused in the 1980s – the largest punitive damages award to a single plaintiff in a child abuse case in the US.[7]
On February 18, 2020, the Boy Scouts of America filed for a Chapter 11 financial restructuring to offer "equitable compensation" to survivors and their families. The BSA cited approximately 200 pending lawsuits in state and federal district courts across the United States and 1,700 potential claimants in total. In May of that same year, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware set November 16, 2020, at 5 pm EST as the bar date for all survivors of sexual abuse; 92,700 sexual abuse claims were filed with the bankruptcy court by the deadline.[8]"
Of all the potential sources for child abuse training for an important topic, you might as well share the PowerPoint from the Vatican on how to keep young boys safe.
Got room for any more on your ship?
No, those people already did. They have transferred the grift into houses, retirements, and change the course of the future for themselves and their families.
Everyone else gets to pick up the pieces for their deceit, exaggeration and stupidity.
Lower the bar, raise the stakes, got it.
What fuckwit made this graph? The highest, largest positive return should be on top, e.g. the pink. Contradictorily, the returns per annum is sorted like this with the top return of stocks being on top.
Cash is not accurate- unlike another asset that can then be redeemed or sold for an increasing amount of money/cash, the $1,500 actually represents the devaluation of cash/fiat over that time if $1,500 is what 2026 cash is worth compared to 1965. If "cash" was actually a bank savings account rate or something, fair enough I guess but it should be labeled as such.
The website starts playing a video you go to the site for and after t seconds, pops up a "keep watching" button in the middle of the video that if you don't click, jumps to a different, completely unrelated video.
Jesus fucking dystopia
Look, if you can't support the absurd concentration of wealth at the organizational level how are you going to keep your head on straight that this is all normal and acceptable at the systemic level? Next you're going to say that wealth should not be based on whatever the next charlatan shits out at Davos or TedX but actually sustainably improving the world for humans?
Keep the faith, surely those gains will trickle down soon.
