not just that “Enron, Theranos, Long-Term Capital Management, and Countrywide Financial” two of those are blatant frauds and ltcm just had over levered trades go against them. not sure they are examples of bubbles

i think what pissed them off is trump winning in 2016. Which they then blamed on facebook and "disinformation".. (instead of hillary being the worst candidate in history) and the left decided they needed to take control of these c

just saying that and getting angry doesnt make it true. urban areas all boomed due to the roaring economy up until covid, especially powered by the large growth in the tech sector there and corporate tax cuts (and seattle's low state t

you didn’t actually provide any proof to disprove my claim and then said i was 100% wrong. either way i don’t think we’re aspiring to be finland.
