The housing market should behave like the car market. The wear and tear over the years should not add value to a house. 60% instant reduction in value when you buy a new home should be standard and expected, after all, it’s not new and never will be again - that should cost a significant junk of value. That’s what a sane market would be. Housing as an investment has torn this country apart by the framework.

Finance people: what’s going on with the spaceX IPO? Are there shenanigans afoot or is that conspiracy nonsense?

Let’s not make the same mistake our forefathers made. Let’s be smarter about this threat.

@MissConstrue ok now once enough poor peoples money can be tied up in these scams and once more taxpayer money can be secured to bail out the scams... the crash everyone is rubbing their hands gleefully to come will be here... guess who will not be affected by it at all? the ones running the scams.

@laprice I’d be willing to stand as plaintiff if a white shoe attorney wants to take the case pro bono. As an index holder, I think I’d have standing.

Y’all, we need to talk about upcoming #IPOs, and the insane rule changes that #nasdaq has just announced.

Nasdaq rewrote its #index inclusion rules to accommodate #SpaceX’s mega-IPO, implementing a "Fast Entry" provision that allows the company to join the Nasdaq-100 index just 15 trading days after its initial public offering, down from the standard three-month seasoning period.

They also eliminated the minimum float requirement of 20% available public shares and instead stocks with less than 20% of shares publicly traded, Nasdaq applies a 3x multiplier to the free-float for index weighting purposes, artificially inflating low-float giants like SpaceX in passive funds.

Ok, but in English? #SpaceX, #OpenAI and #Anthropic have just figured out a scam to force every passive #IRA, #401k, and index fund to buy their stock before pricing evaluation.

They’ve figured out how to steal your #retirement.

Jeff Bezos went on TV to whine about Zohran Mamdani to stop demonizing billionaires and the very next day Mayor Mamdani responded by forcing Amazon to pay $9M in fines accrued by Amazon delivery trucks for illegally idling and blocking NYC traffic.

This is what happens when you elect a mayor for the people, not the corporations. We need more of this.

I have a weird stance on #AI

Fuck the proliferation of the #AIDataCenter .
(We should buy #silver to slow this down)

But also full steam on AI taking over work.

Not only will we have more free time to overthrow the government. The economy will collapse if the bedrock is slop. Which is a fine thing: let all the stocks collapse. Let all the rich lose all their money. I cheer this on.

Let’s all meet at public parks and discuss. While parks are still public…
