It’s by design. You just have to look at the grift at the “office of chief technology officer” for Washington DC

fireeyedon Chris Sacca's Act 2: Lowercarbon Capital

Dusting off the newly repainted Chris Sacca. It took 4 years for the paint job to be complete.

fireeyedon Rust Foundation: Hello, World

Huawei ?

fireeyedon Amazon shortchanged drivers $61.7M in tips

This is why I tip in cash. Instacart, Doordash & Amazon peas in a pod when it comes to stealing tips from hourly wage earners.

fireeyedon CDC website built by Deloitte at a cost of $44M is abandoned due to bugs

The veil of Democracy is coming loose revealing the Oligarchy (I include politicians and their government & media buddies in it)

fireeyedon Robinhood Play Store listing went from 329K reviews to 180K in few hours

Can't repeat this enough. "Its a big club and you ain't in it" - George Carlin. A lot of people are waking up to the coordination between the Oligarchs. Its hardly a surprise. The politicians, their government lackeys and media are in bed with them nice and comfy only feigning outrage when the system appears threatened.

Apple is blocking ratings of Robinhood on AppStore. Coincidence much ? "Its a big club and you ain't in it" - George Carlin

fireeyedon Robinhood now has a 1-Star rating on the Google Play Store

There should be zero stars available for scamsters. Seriously this should be an option. Why should anyone give one star to a scamming firm Robbing Hood which has colluded with their backer Citadel. They have derogatory term for Retail Investors - Dumb Money. Now the 'Dumb Money' has figured out the the hedge funds'rigged game.

Goodluck with DOJ and SEC investigating and bringing charges against RobbingHood and Citadel. I am not holding my breath.

https://twitter.com/justinkan/status/1354853920762253315 >Just got a tip that Citadel reloaded their shorts before they told Robinhood to stop trading $GME.

If this is true, Ken Griffin and the Robinhood founders should be in jail.

This is class warfare.

fireeyedon WallStreetBets vs WallStreet: It's not about the money anymore

I am not a WS insider. I just checked $GME its up 6% as the serfs moved on to other trading platforms. Obviously someone is on the otherside of the trade no ?

fireeyedon WallStreetBets vs WallStreet: It's not about the money anymore

Don't you think the honchos at Robinhood got the call from the man last night ? Its a coordinated ban of serfs from buying up AMC GME BB. Its got too hot for them.

fireeyedon The Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company

My friend recently got admitted to the hospital. There must be 10 people during the intake who didn’t seem to be doing anything. Some “nurses” were just observers. There were two admin people who came into to take personal information. 2 medical techs who just took temperatures and nothing else and finally a real nurse who did all the vitals and finally the doctor after 2 1/2 hours. Imagine the efficiencies that could be extracted and passed on to the patients.

fireeyedon Twitter permanently bans My Pillow CEO

Don’t forget AMA antitrust violations but curbing the number of doctors that could get into the system.

fireeyedon Show HN: Compare prices that US hospitals charge patients, insurance companies

This is made possible thanks to the current administration’s CMS price transparency rule which went into effect Jan 1,2021 http://www.cms.gov/hospital-price-transparency

Edit: By “current” I mean the Trump administration.

fireeyedon Big Tech Has Helped Trash America

If anyone cares to actually go back and review recent history, the mostly left leaning media’s heartache with Social Media only started after Hillary lost narrowly to Trump.
