- onlyrealcuzzo 8mo agoGood thing this administration will be a lame duck in 8 months, and they know it.
- kapluni 8mo agoa very optimistic view

- dlev_pika 8mo agoSo cool we can bet on whether the Trump admin will attempt another coup - what a time to be alive
- SpicyLemonZest 8mo agoThe terms of these markets do not account for a scenario, quite likely if authoritarian takeover does happen, where the House of Representatives is a rump organization which does not exercise effective power. There was a years-long period in Venezuela where the country's traditional legislature met and conducted business under the leadership of the opposition party, but actual legislative power was held jointly by the Supreme Court and a secondary legislature that Nicolas Maduro set up.
- netsharc 8mo agoThe branch of government tasked to execute the law has been ignoring laws. So we'll get a (from Trump's point of view) adversarial congress, so what, let's ignore them, what are they going to do about it? Looking forward to a military platoon defying orders and seizing the president, hey, all countries suffer through coups, about time this young democracy go through one!

- amelius 8mo agoAre you sure? They have one skill: playing social media, and it serves them well.
- japhyr 8mo agoThat's part of why they are trying to take control of elections, which have (I believe) historically been the responsibility of each state.
- amarant 8mo ago"trump is definitely gonna lose the election" is a prediction I've heard many times. I know better than to trust it by now
- dylan604 8mo agoAt least twice. Luckily, that's the max number
- autoexec 8mo agoNot according to him
- onlyrealcuzzo 8mo ago1/2 isn't bad. He also lost his only midterm so far.
- ViewTrick1002 8mo agoUnless ICE ensures it’s is a ”fair” election with the ”correct” outcome.
- dylan604 8mo agoLuckily, the oval office is on the ground floor, so it's safe to stand next to the windows
- stdgy 8mo agoWell, you see, that's completely different. Nvidia agreed to give them money!
- johnbarron 8mo agoSilly me...its true! - $1,000,000 donation from NVIDIA CORPORATION to the Trump–Vance Inaugural Committee. - $1,000,000-per-head Mar-a-Lago dinner where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang attended. - Jensen Huang’s contribution toward Trump’s "White House ballroom" project. Confirmed, but undisclosed value...lets says at least another $1,000,000?
- koakuma-chan 8mo ago$1,000,000 doesn't seem like a lot of money for them, why would it matter to them?
- pavel_lishin 8mo agoTo Nvidia, or to the recipients?
- koakuma-chan 8mo agoBoth?

- loupol 8mo agoA good reason to outlaw bribes is that politicians tend to be incredibly cheap and offer an extremely high ROI. Albeit at the cost of a nice democracy.

- sigbottle 8mo agoGreat read. I've always noticed that the type of argument invoked is often less telling than when and in which context you invoke that argument. You can make a lot of claims and they can match to reality a lot - normally people think of evaluating things in terms of a strict "does this fit or does this not", but it's often the meta-style (why do you keep bringing up that argument in that context?) that's important, even if it's not "logically bulletproof".

- Merovius 8mo agoWow that post is bad. The author clearly never actually attempted to understand what POSWID actually means and where it is coming from. Perhaps, instead of looking at Twitter, they should have opened Wikipedia. Or, better yet, Stafford Beers books (though admittedly, he was a pretty atrocious writer). The follow-up is slightly better. But still not very convincing, IMO. They get far too stuck on a literal interpretation. Of something that self-describes as a heuristic.

- cco 8mo agoI would not be surprised if an outcome of this may be a 10% government stake (maybe golden share owned by Trump) in Anthropic.
