  • Among many other reasons, the biggest reason for me that the US stock market cannot be trusted is because market makers combine 3 techniques to create fraud and push risk to others to dilute unwitting companies and investors: borrow stocks, selling a borrowed stock to buy later, strategically failing to deliver stock.

    Borrowing stocks doesn’t create a clean paper trail, can be done repeatedly, and steals shareholder votes.

    Selling a borrowed stock to buy later can strategically intend to fail from the start where they don’t even have to locate (not even acquire as you might assume) a share to borrow, effectively creating new shares out of thin air. Market makers in the US can legally do this, even for the benefit of their hedge fund counterparts (sometimes under the same company).

    Fails for stock delivery are allowed, so they’re a strategy. Cash in lieu is not the same as share ownership. Cash is fungible, stocks are not, and this gap can create technically infinite risk.











  • Nah, I meant the state says they are going to find and kill all of us that ever said anything bad about trump. His signature is on the strategy document already. Correct assumption though, and I’m not able to leave the dying empire yet so I might die here.

    Anyone’s car near any protests turn the owners into suspected domestic terrorists, for example. Remote shutdown so they can box your car in and kidnap you. It listens in on your conversations and AI/LLMs have made data analysis super easy. Nationwide Flock cameras are enough to be targeted anyway, so I don’t need my car shutting off in an emergency and snitching on me to the traitors with guns. More people will die if EV conversions or old cars are made illegal.







  • Yeah, the problem is even if you don’t encounter problems at the border, there are still random blacked out SUVs driving around abducting, raping, and deporting people, facial recognition with errors that could flag you (publicly accessible too), and at least a 1/3 of everyone you see is a MAGAt who are notoriously violent. The most important problem is that by going, they accept and support these realities with their money.
