  • 1998 didn’t have retail investors, meme stocks or Bitcoin. The entire market turned into a carnival, I’m not sure old rules apply. For fucks sake people are trading futures on NFT’s.

    It’s the same game, different rules. People nowadays don’t care about the shit that made the companies picked by Berkshire Hathaway successful, like brand recognition or quality, they are about, what, glitter and noise? It’s naked gambling on how insane it can all get, and I think there’s even odds on the bubble going nuclear and us all getting paid with NvidiaBux a year from now.






  • Slight misunderstanding here. Every country has a whole bunch of “that guy” who likes to do stupid shit to the detriment of society. Sometimes it’s the poor and uneducated, sometimes it’s the ultra wealthy unburdened by their sociopathy. It varies.

    Most first world countries set up safety nets, assistance, pro-people laws; you know, a society that understands the why and how of the situation these people find themselves in so that society can be there to cushion the impact on everyone, improving society as a whole.

    Not with us U.S.ians. We give those people three wheelers, moonshine, YouTube accounts, and private jets in the hopes that their insufferable behavior sorts itself out against the immutable laws of nature and thermodynamics. There’s a ton of land over here, so we have the luxury of letting these kinds of things play out. Mostly [ see EPA and Superfund Sites to learn more! ]
