You might say the only reason it could even be lawful evil is because the PE firms spend lots of money on lobbyists to ensure it stays legal.

This is an over simplification and no one here is saying private ownership is bad. It would be mind boggling if someone were allowed to buy your home with a mortgage in your name, kick you out of it and then sell the home for pure profit. Y

I don't have the link but I think people linked Hertz' valuation pop after it's bankruptcy almost exclusively on Robinhood type traders.

Well you should be like Kennedy then, when the shoe shine boys were giving stock advice it was time to get out in 1929, perhaps High School dropouts and convenience store workers "getting rich" gambling with options on Robinhood m

Not sure that makes sense? Gold's value was typically based on scarcity and it's multi-millennial status as a thing of value? Why else would much of the world have based their currency on gold itself?

Probably a mistake to assume the USD value of something is relevant in a collapse situation. As you said ammo could end up being far more valuable that it currently is. Similarly Gold's utility as a way to transfer value could make it

Can't really speak for Venezuela but lets say if currently 1 oz of gold is as valuable as a Macbook worth ~$1800 and in a hyperinflation event a Macbook costs $200,000,000 perhaps 1 oz of gold could be worth a Macbook? You would then j

Why wouldn't you plan for that? The only plan you'd need for the total collapse situation is to have a revolver to eat a lead sandwich with.

This is one of the most bizarre comments I have ever seen. Mind boggling. Are you going to start a petition to get the Crips to let white people join or the Aryan Brotherhood to let in PoC? lol

Don't the majority of FAANG engineers cap out at Sr. Engineer and that's a title you can get just a few years out of College? So are +/-50% of Google engineers stagnant?

This is self-perpetuating. It's been my experience that moving companies has gotten me +20% in pay for doing the same work with the same title. If employers assume people will leave after 2 years and hence don't give promotions an

The same as any LBO most likely. They gutted the company and now want to cash out on the public markets. Private Equity is disgusting.
