All of the presidents pardon tons of people unpalatable to the other side of the political spectrum. They usually just save it for the end of their term so it doesn’t cause too much noise.

So if you filter out the Republican owned ones or whatever your bugbear is, does the 55% persist?

by kortilla 2y ago
Right, but if 55% is avg over the last few years, “buy stock” is going to be correct more than not. https://www.crestmontresearch.com/docs/Stock-Yo-Yo.pdf

Both. It’s a lot of electrical work, hvac work (think ducting, plumbing, more electric). Tons of concrete work. Once you have one working design for the environment (e.g. hot desert vs cold and humid), you can stamp the things out with mini

Yes. Scale up the judicial system and cut laws if needed. Also, there will likely still be some pleas. Some people own up to being guilty and want to move on. There is an absolute dearth of lawyers to support this. We just need more courts

“I have a few degrees in economics” is an appeal to authority, and a laughable one at that. Economists are historians that tricked themselves into thinking that overfitted models of the past predict the future. 2008 was obvious in retrospec

All that research indicates is that Walmart isn’t a good place to work. It doesn’t say anything about how much is saves you by shopping there. I saw this first hand when Walmart showed up in my small city in the 90s. Everyone saved enormous

Yes, people quite literally did go hungry or got far worse food. The local economies were shit before Walmart. There just happened to be a handful of small business owners that did well squeezing their community. If Walmart didn’t offer bet

Would you get angry because you thought it was real though? Because that’s what happens with these people. They show you something and say something incredulous like, “I can’t believe something like this is legal. How is this allowed?” Your

What’s your point? The spreads are tighter than you would get on the open market. NBBO requires that if there is something better that Robinhood gives it to you.

Yeah, I don’t like the phrase either, but market making in these pools is quite literally taking the other side of their trades.

Retail is offered tighter spreads because it’s safe to assume they have no edge at scale.

This is illegal and is absolutely the dumbest way to make money.

by kortilla 2y ago
What you described is how you bet against retail traders. The bet is that they have no edge so it’s safe to run tight spreads and nice pure market making algos that assume random behavior at volume.

Nope, this is one of the counterintuitive things about people paying RH for order flow. Market makers can offer tighter spreads when they know it’s a pool of dumb money.

What do you think the economy is built on? Do you realize how much is spent on basic things like energy, food, construction of roads, buildings, houses? It’s very obvious when people straight up lie in these industries because the physical

This is a classic midwit criticism of capitalism that assumes zero sum. You can sell services and goods that boost productivity and the alternative is just the status quo that produces waste. Someone that creates a successful business doing

You forget the massive benefit to everyone who shops there. It wrecked small businesses because the prices were lower for the same things.
