I think that while the wealthy doing drugs is bad, arguably, when they do drugs, they can both easily seek help for it, and pay for that help. When the homeless do it, the public health system picks up the tab, and it there are higher barri

I think you are just slandering Bloomberg. The Chinese are growing pigs to become bigger because they are in need of pork, in sacrifice of taste. America’s record pigs are just for that, to get a record.

The barriers isn't as high for EVs as it is for internal combustion engines right? Plus, I doubt they are focused on the consumer market, maybe tractor makers are thrown in there. Then it starts to look a little more reasonable (althou

You have the definition of shorting right, but it doesn't mean that shorts cause a stock to drop. Beyond meat has had a crazy amount of people shorting it, but that hasn't stopped it's 800% rise

This is a little misguided. The only reason that AMD is so cheap on the consumer side is that they genuinely want to take a crack at Intel's market share. With GPUs, they're only competitor is Nvidia, and as long as they are cheap
