Possibly something with how nicotine/tobacco interacts with the brain?
I don't understand how commission based realtors exist nowadays. They primarily provided value in the past by being the sole network between sellers/buyers. That monopoly doesn't exist anymore, so it doesn't make sense for them to demand a huge commission. I personally look forward to companies like Zillow disrupting this archaic system.
Also, the high prices for real estate make sense right now. Millennials are well past settling-down age in combination with a flight from inner cities that are becoming crime-ridden ratholes. (Just look up how many shootings occurred in Chicago this past weekend if you don't believe me.) I wouldn't be surprised if this guy had a "10 Reasons Real-Estate is a Terrible Investment" video a few years ago when prices were cheap.
$70M is 0.625% of the conservative value of Robinhood[1] as of a year ago. That means they have over 99.375% of value remaining to work with. How is this not simply treated as "cost of doing business" in the finance world? They should be putting execs in prison when the law is blatantly broken.
Then they expect younger generations to blindly trust the finance system. Time is ripe for millennials to cash in their 401ks and find a new place to put it....where sticky hands can't touch it.

If we tried, it would require regulation on how politicians can be compensated for the rest of their lives after taking office. Need to close the revolving door where politicians help out rich people/corporations while in office, then are compensated indirectly after leaving office.
And if you lived in the 15th century you'd probably be the guy ridiculing anyone who said the Earth might not be flat. How dare those crazy people!
There's around 8 billion people on Earth. Most of the wealth on Earth is controlled by a small number of those people. What stops the other people from taking it from them? Answer: The illusion of power and control, via use of that wealth.
Historically, the best way to control people is to divide them...over and over. That's what we're seeing nowadays: via use of the mass media. You'll rarely see a major news story nowadays that doesn't pit large groups of humans against one another. Currently, the best "division" strategy is for them to use the media to promote left-wing thought.
Since a lab-leak doesn't align with the political aspect of Covid, they're doing everything they can to squash any discussion of it. Admitting they were wrong, or having discussion around the possibility of them being wrong, would bring the possibility of people waking the fuck up to the level of bullshit they're being fed.
Amazing how the NYT is gripping onto this "bat origin" conspiracy theory for dear life. They present this as fact, then casually mention the actual cause is being investigated.
You'd expect the primary focus of this story to be the fact that virus sequences were "mysteriously deleted"...but instead it focuses on pressing a deceptive dialog that aligns with NYT political agenda. Shows you the current state of the media. Cancel your subscriptions.
I guess we'll have to rely on those crazy Q-anon people to actually investigate why these went missing in the first place.
All media is owned by probably 5 people....but the general population eats that shit up and seems to get offended if you inform them of that.
Don't think they really care about left or right, they use politics as a vehicle to keep the masses divided and therefore under control. It also shifts focus away from the growing class gap and how the upper classes are hoarding wealth.
There's systemic corruption at the highest levels, but the SEC decides to go after a handful of little guys. The next French Revolution is a ticking time-bomb.
Anyone know details about the analysis they do? I'm assuming some sort of scan that notices when multiple people in the same geographic area and/or are publicly connected in some way (i.e. are fb friends) simultaneously place massive stock market orders on the same security.
Secondly, I find it interesting that you shift the focus of your argument from the idea, to the person...especially considering we aren't talking about any specific theory here. That tells me that it doesn't matter what's actually being discussed, because you've already made up your mind. This is the mental foundation that allows things like discrimination and stereotyping to exist. Do you really not see that? Your cognitive dissonance is so strong, that your mind is tricking itself into actually believing there's something wrong with another person, simply because they discuss an idea you already made up your mind on.
Your wireless router sends out a constant signal . That signal bounces off stuff, and can be measured in real time. Once a 3rd party has a calibrated measurement of your wifi signal, they can scan it and make relative measurements in real time. They can reconstruct what's going on in the room by reconstructing the triangulation of how the signal is changing. They've been able to fine-tune it enough to see a person breathing, or see their heart beating.
As this technology matures, I believe this will be the next-level of major privacy concerns.
Amazing how using your own brain to think critically to reach your own conclusions is now frowned upon (a.k.a. wrongthink). And it's being done by people who think they're smarter than everyone else, but are actually under control of a much smaller group of people in the social wrung above them.
Nothing going on in the world lately is really about politics, it's all about population control and class warfare. Politics is the vehicle to recruit useful idiots.
Not true. That's what you want to believe, and what you've been led to believe. Show me the science that proves this isn't all a load of horse shit. Show me literally anything that remotely proves any of this had a meaningful impact. Anything. Oh yeah I forgot, people here aren't a fan of science and data when it goes against their fragile leftist beliefs.
If what I said is in fact true, it would all appear the exact same.
Obviously if you can force people by gunpoint to not leave their homes, you can slow the spread (i.e. China)
I seriously urge you to check your cognitive dissonance to the situation as a whole. This is literally the definition of political theater.
> Covid has actually outpaced cancer and heart disease to become the number 1 cause of death
Not true at all. Did you miss the months of heated discussion when it was found out that hospitals received lump sums of additional money if they checked off "covid" as the "cause" of death? Then they clarified that by making it acceptable to consider covid as the "cause" of death if the patient had any "flu-like symptoms"...aka coughing, shortness of breath. Is it even possible to die without at least one of those "flu-like symptoms"?
I hate to break it to everyone, but we did absolutely nothing to slow down covid. Everything we've seen over the past year has simply been placebos, population control, and political opportunism. Buy hey, can't wait to read Fauci's new book!
Not true. Death rates aren't a linear scale. The total number of deaths last year was already set up to be significantly higher than in previous years (not accounting for covid). The actual death rates were lower than expected the past 4-5 years, which tells us there were many additional people on the brink of death. Also, there's a significantly higher number of baby boomers reaching the likelihood-of-death-from-strong-illness age over the past year. These are the types of people who more easily die from the normal flu, so the common sense explanation is that they wouldn't stand a chance with a stronger flu-like illness. That also explains why normal flu deaths were basically non-existent last year. (No, it's not because the normal flu didn't happen last year, or because of masks, it's obviously because covid wiped those susceptible people out)
My guess is we'd be in about the same situation had we done nothing at all (no masks, no vaccines, etc). It's all political theater, cash-grabbing corporations, and there's lots of suckers in the world who believe everything they're told.
And would need a way to backwards-track trades to make sure a single entity isn't placing millions of small trades...which would also require individual verifiable identities being linked to each trade.
The argument our society should be discussing is that individuals own the underlying data. All previous "user agreements" are null and void. All new user accounts should be bundled like non-fungible tokens, then every piece of data associated with that account can be tracked to compensate that user based on actual impressions. Companies can take their cut, but if a user isn't happy with the setup, they can revoke all access to their own data. Enough of this "you agreed to our service agreement" smoke and mirror bullshit...that's like saying the water company owns the water itself.
We need DE-centralization, so no-one in the world has this type of power over anyone.
Big money has a decent amount of influence over what information is accessible to the general public. We're witnessing the modern version of burning books...but many are too WOKE to realize.
I'm not anti-vaccines, I'm anti this experimental & rushed vaccine. Buy hey let's create vaccine passports and try to force everyone to get it because of politics.
Now prop this data of actual medical conditions created as a result of getting the covid vaccine up against the likelihood of getting covid in the first place, and the likelihood of having lifelong side effects as a result of getting covid. Risk of getting an experimental vaccine substantially outweighs the reward of the "protection" it provides.
