So in other words your claim that they are holding tens of thousands of "citizens" is fabricated. cool, thanks for clearing that up.

Tens of thousands of "citizens" or "residents"? There's an important distinction here.

Democracy is when the candidate the globalists want gets the most votes. If they dont, then you can claim "election interference" and misinformation and then call for a do over.

I don't know a lot about this specific situation, but this seems to set a dangerous precedent where governments can just claim "election interference" or "misinformation" any time their candidate loses to get a do-o

A high paying, cushy job in tech / FAANG with great benefits and easy work/life balance can be as much of a crutch as it is a blessing. With your own personal situation so good, it can be too easy to just stick to the default and

The DEI community is basically a cult at this point. Anything that goes against their dogma or preferred narrative is blasphemy. Pointing to the (fairly obvious) impact of the pipeline issues goes against their dogma and the grift that goes

I can’t think of many better examples of “The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions” than the DEI cult.

SF has spent over $3B on the homeless over the last 5 years, and the pop continues to skyrocket along with rampant crime and drug use. Money isn’t the issue, at least in this case

We can and should teach about the history of racism in America. We should not however be telling children to use an “oppression matrix” to group and divide one another by identity, teaching children that if they are white they are automatic

Both. I have cards for certain players, teams or inserts that I buy to collect, if I can make money on them great, if not I enjoy having them in my personal collection (PC). Then there are cards I’ll buy anticipating a rise in value with th

As someone who has been into cards and collectibles all my life, the past few years have been wild to say the least. What we saw in 2020/early 2021 was really a classic bubble - FOMO buying pushing prices to unsustainable levels. Then

I'm not saying they're excluding them. Black hair products are a great analogy actually. Virtually no white people buy them, and virtually no white people will sub to a platform like this. There will likely be slightly more white

I never said it was divisive. All I said was from a practical standpoint the vast majority of their TAM is capped at capturing part of the 13.5% of the population. Can they build a good business doing that? If they can discover and secure g

I don't disagree. Can certainly build a great business capturing part of that 13.5% with great, focused content. The challenge, similar to Netflix's big challenge is discovering and securing the right content. Good Luck.

Just from an addressable market standpoint, it seems like you have work cut out for you given that you’ve essentially isolated your product to 13-14% or so of the US population. Not to mention those in that segment that already sub to Netfl

Sports cards in general have gotten to the point of absurdity. Grown men fighting each other in the aisles of Walmart trying to clear the shelves of NBA cards. The Michael Jordan PSA 10 went from $100k, to $370k to over $700k very rapidly,
