Worse. More like less than 0.0001% of the humans on the planet.

“It’s just a prank bro”

Naw, that’s what shitty AI is for

Ah yes, an internet classic.

Instead of engaging in meaningful conversation when the topic gets tough, you would prefer to fall back to insults.

👏

I mean, yeah, so is electricity, aerofoils, and explosives. Old tech.

I’m not sure what your point is…

Can you store it in commodities instead? Like gold??

As someone who is both new to trading and who has only had exposure to US index funds. What are some European funds you recommend?

About 90 years later, yep. Here we go again…

Same suckers, different century.

This isn’t necessarily going to affect the ultra rich who count on crashes like this to buy up real estate and assets in mass.

It’s practically a guaranteed win, a cheat code even .

If you’re ultra rich and wanna be ultra ultra rich, just setup a market collapse by acquiring power. And now you’re ultra-ultranrich, and the next one is even easier.

The undereducated masses are so easy to mislead they might as well not be a factor. It’s trivial to get the masses to fight amongst themselves by stirring the culture war pot with the near monopoly on media you and your buddies have bought. While you carry on class warfare unopposed

It’s for sure plausible.

Whenever a collapse happens, the rich get richer by buying up cheap assets, like houses and land.

And since corporations are immortal, these assets will forever be owned by them generations into the future.

It’s fiefdom, except that it’s much MUCH more stable over time given modern economies.

This has happened once every 100 years or so. And each time it’s a complete disaster for the country.

Give it another 100 and history will just repeat itself again

Same reason people think the earth is flat, the moon landing was a hoax, and that vaccines cause autism?

A lack of critical thinking skills, and general stupidity.

There’s no guarantee it’s even the police. Could be sex traffickers for all you know.

There is no guarantee this is an arrest.

These people are not showing that they are law enforcement. For all we know we just watched someone get kidnapped by sex traffickers.

Bystanders shouldn’t stand by idle, if someone is getting kidnapped right in front of you, and you’re able bodied, you should do something about it, violently. Even if it means grabbing the closest heavy thing and throwing it at them. Yell, make a scene, yell out “kidnappers help me!” …etc

NEVER LET YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE BE TAKEN TO A SECONDARY LOCATION. EVER.

Anything your captors are willing to do in public is only a fraction of what they would be willing to do in private.

You don’t necessarily have to put yourself in harms way, but you can still show some level of resistance to kidnappers, rapists, and the rest. No one should just let those things happen in front of them, and simply pull their phone out to film.

That’s some psycho pass level shit.

Legal defense doesn’t matter for you when you’re shot or choked dead by “police” because you defended yourself against an unknown assailant.

Oh I’m sure. And Trump and other MAGA would look on with glee because they hate the PNW.

This is another one of those stupid feel-good statements where it feels good to say but completely hand waves away all the complexities of actually achieving this.

Never mind the massive financial barrier to get people to switch away from gas in the first place (which the majority of everyone is not going to be able to afford so how do you expect that to work?) where does this money come from?

But you now need to contend with electrical infrastructure changes to support that extra load. Where does this money come from?

Sure in theory this is a great idea I would love to switch to heat pumps as I’m sure many others would as well. However the cost is egregious ($30-50k). And unless it’s supported with massive government subsidies (remember the US government just cut all subsidies for these sorts of things) then it’s not going to happen because people just can’t afford it.

As long as they don’t cut off gas to the PNW. Almost all the natural gas we use comes from Canada, and the majority of the voters there didn’t vote for this.

That would be fucking brutal, no heat or cooking gas.

Yes but how’s that relevant to the topic at hand?

Topic of hand is sending all of your (mismanaged or otherwise) wealth overseas while
