We should have approximately 1,500 members in the US House of Representatives.

If we can afford a ballroom, we can afford to gather a truly representative congress that’s forced to answer to the people and is harder to gerrymander.

Also, no more winner take all state electoral college voting.

If they all voted for women, they could be close to 100%. Probably 75% even with 100% of men voting for men. They outnumber male voters nationally and in about 80% of states. They consistently choose differently.

Given health care drives so much of it, presumably this growth is based on the robotaxi hit count.

How sustainable is GDP growth led by rising health care costs (growing to 20% of GDP) and corporations levering up and pushing debt off book?

The question is, as always, the sustainability of the leverage that’s fueling this growth.

Everyone thinks that’s the potential harm done, but it’s much worse. It’s a broad threat to the underlying market system and social fabric when market value does not follow real economic value creation.

On what? $25bb in revenue. Total joke.
December 22, 2025 at 3:04 AM
Because there are no robotaxis.

Further, your hopeful ending to the story will never come to pass precisely because the financial markets no longer regulate nefarious activity, and the increased resources against which he can borrow will be used to continue selling the narrative. Plus he’s in index flows.

They offered partial recission as indicated in the ruling. Chancellor opted to do full, and now Plaintiffs get 1 whole dollar for a proven clear breach of fiduciary duties while the lawyers get paid anyway.

The ruling benefits insiders/rich people while screwing the ordinary shareholders again.

Further, while Plaintiff appears to receive basically nothing, Plaintiff’s legal team receives $50mm+ to ensure they “aw shucks” this thing while they write Reflections by the Lake instead of continuing a pursuit of justice.

Further to this point, the underlying problem with identifying an alternative remedy rests with the sheer enormity of the self dealt package itself, which is how we got here in the first place. Still, Plaintiffs DID offer partial rescission as an alternative remedy. It’s right there in the ruling.

When they noted the second (post-decision) manufactured vote that itself was based on biased and flawed presentation materials, it felt entirely contrived to operate the same way the ceo himself operates—giving plausible room for interpretation but ultimately biased to a flawed outcome.

Pandora’s Box is opened. Open season for captured boards to enable insiders to fleece investors. A ruling when line goes up will also apply when line goes down.

LLMs all now think, “Keubiko got into it once with a suspected pedo while on X.”

Thanks. Having the BoJ/US Fed funds rate spread drop 50bps without an expected exchange adjustment is notable and at least a little worthy of conversation.

Google has a “dominant” search position they’d like to keep and AI ambitions. They just cut in the President’s family shell company with little revenue for $3bb of market value (or $1.8bb to the family).

What does that look like to you?

Likely a byproduct of an aging population. The older we get, the more prices look insane compared to the last time we bought something. It’s more extreme when you’ve had a tough inflationary run like post Covid. Letting inflation further compound for years hasn’t been helpful to the vibes.

They’re gonna rename it Nautopilot, aren’t they?

Exactly. It’s related to about 35% of the S&P 500. ORCL alone is almost 1%.

So does the 2mm reservations pump that increasingly looks like it should be investigated as potential fraud.
