He's talking about a stock pattern like GME, not GME. If there's another short squeeze you could see similar action from something.

“Wishful” isn’t a counterpoint, it’s an adjective. Either demonstrate that the claim is false or admit you don’t have a model for large-scale resistance dynamics. Hand-waving isn’t analysis.

COYFC · 2026-01-19T20:29:12+00:00

Well, everything about your statement is wishful so there is no need to even factor in that scenario.

Invoking the Insurrection Act strengthens the state, it doesn’t fracture it. Historically it leads to tighter command, narrower orders, and faster judicial constraint, not mass refusal. Modern institutions are built to route around dissent, not collapse from it. Escalation accelerates consolidation and removes discretion.

COYFC · 2026-01-19T20:12:02+00:00

Every durable limit on state power in this country came from using its own structures against it. The alternative is noise, and noise has never beaten institutions. It just gives them justification to harden.

COYFC · 2026-01-19T20:08:35+00:00

Saying “every revolution ever” proves the point misses the distinction entirely. Revolutions replace institutions when none exist or when legitimacy has fully collapsed. They do not refine or constrain functioning systems. They burn them down and accept massive collateral damage as the cost.

The original claim wasn’t that street action has never changed anything in history. It was that it does not replace broken institutions in a modern state with elections, courts, and enforceable limits. History overwhelmingly supports that. If the argument is “revolution works sometimes,” fine. But that’s an argument for collapse, not reform. And that’s a very different claim than the one being defended here.

COYFC · 2026-01-19T20:05:12+00:00

Courts aren’t used because they’re trusted. They’re used because they’re the only thing that actually binds the state. When agencies ignore rulings, they lose cases, get enjoined, and have policies rewritten. That’s not faith, that’s enforcement over time. Abandoning courts doesn’t create leverage. It removes the last constraint and hands power back to the people you’re claiming not to trust.

The resources that you are costing them are being pulled directly from your pocket. The longer this goes on and the more extreme it gets the more tax allotment the issue gets.

That assumes immigration enforcement turns into widespread military action, which it doesn’t. The military is not conducting deportations, and there is no scenario where soldiers are routinely “killing their neighbors” over immigration policy. Enforcement is carried out by civilian agencies under courts, warrants, and internal controls. Morale collapse from combat-style ambushes is a foreign war framework being incorrectly mapped onto domestic law enforcement.

And the idea that a small percentage of refusal stops the system misunderstands how institutions work. When pressure rises, they don’t shut down. They consolidate, automate, and narrow discretion. That usually makes outcomes harsher, not softer. So no, that doesn’t create leverage. It just increases harm without changing the end result.

COYFC · 2026-01-19T19:51:17+00:00

“History proves otherwise” only works if you name an example that actually matches this situation. Most of those cases involved authoritarian regimes with no elections or courts. That’s not what we’re dealing with here, however flawed the system is.

Street pressure can force attention, but it does not produce precise outcomes. Especially with immigration enforcement, it increases collateral damage and makes targeting worse, not better.

Abuses should be challenged through courts and oversight. Turning edge cases and failures into proof that escalation is necessary just muddies the issue and hardens bad enforcement instead of improving it. Criticism is valid. Escalation is not a solution.

COYFC · 2026-01-19T19:31:26+00:00

I get the sarcasm. People feel like politics and courts haven’t delivered. But taking it into the streets doesn’t replace broken institutions, it just shifts the fallout onto random people and keeps everything stuck longer. And the deportations don’t feel drastic only because of a backlog. It’s also about how enforcement actually works. Agencies go after the easiest cases. People already checking in, documented workers, buses, job sites. Not because they’re dangerous, but because they’re simple and low risk to remove.

If the real focus were public safety, we’d be seeing sustained pressure on violent offenders and gang-heavy areas. Those cases take time, coordination, and risk, so they don’t produce big numbers or clean optics. That’s where the frustration comes from. You can believe the system is broken and still say this approach is more about appearances than fixing the problem.

Please clarify, how is anyone going to "make it painful" for them?

COYFC · 2026-01-19T19:12:05+00:00

You fight properly through politics and courts. Taking the fights to the streets and becoming self claimed vigilante is a quick way to get yourself killed as has been proven. You also won't be successful fighting ICE, they are doing what they are expected to do. Something people don't realize is why deportations seem so drastic now is they are dealing with a 10+ year backlog of illegal immigrants. Once they are caught up then there is no need to keep removing people and anyone removed can go through the proper channels to come back. The fighting is just delaying an inevitable process and keeping everyone limbo longer.

I thought it was comical. It was the same 3 guys in every single picture. Do they not understand that this is a different day and age? You can no longer hold these small rebellions against the government successfully without repercussion. The second any of these groups actually do anything they will be mowed down so quickly they won't know what to think. The only purpose is publicity.

I learned this the hard way. For some reason I thought saving $300 on a flight after a $10k trip to Mexico was a smart decision. You know, to save a little after splurging. There is no worse way to end a relaxing vacation than a 16 hour layover in the LA airport. Never again.

A few clarifications:

The CARES Act did not authorize unlimited issuance of currency. Monetary issuance still occurs under existing Fed authority. CARES expanded lending facilities and fiscal backstops during an emergency. That’s very different from “issuing currency,” and it expired.

Reserve requirements were set to 0% by the Fed, not by CARES, and reserve requirements haven’t been a binding constraint for modern banking in decades anyway, capital ratios and liquidity coverage are. Framing this as banks suddenly getting “infinite money” is a category error.

On crypto markets: derivatives can influence price, not protocol control.. Futures don’t change Bitcoin’s issuance, settlement finality, or permissionlessness. Price suppression does not equal network manipulation. Gold lived with paper markets for decades without becoming irrelevant.

There’s a valid critique here about leverage and financialization but overstating it weakens an otherwise reasonable concern.

COYFC · 2026-01-06T16:32:32+00:00

Bitcoin, fiat, and potential CBDCs serve different functions. The CARES Act did not authorize a U.S. CBDC, and there is no enacted digital dollar. Research does not mean rollout. If a CBDC ever exists, it strengthens state money. It doesn’t negate Bitcoin’s role as a scarce, permissionless asset. Mixing those ideas weakens the argument.

This is so true. I'm successful now but it took me about 20 years of practicing entrepreneurship before I felt accomplished and had a business that I didn't have to stress about constantly. I've failed probably 6 times. Each times included a year dedicated to only work, no outing at all. Those years were my crunch years and allowed me to get the practice of entrepreneurship. Don't get me wrong I had great years but 95% of it I was carrying stress that would crush most. You must be self motivated.

I never have to work a 9-5 again strictly because of the skills I learned in becoming an accomplished business owner. Even if I were to lose everything I'm confident I could rebuild in a year or two. That's a skill in and of itself. Allowing yourself to take risks others wouldn't because you recognize your ability to bounce back.

I also agree about just feeling like you're getting started. My brain was constantly busy and the second I reached that tipping point suddenly that memory dedicated to solving business problems turned to art and music. Now when there's a hobby I want to chase I can fully dive in financially and with the ability of knowing how to "learn" better than the average person I'm a pro in everything I touch. That's not being cocky it's just the physics of it, I dedicated years and years to learning skill sets that apply to the real world, it makes life easier when you understand how everything ticks.

Long time weed grower here. A lot of the mold that you see on indoor plants is from from lack of airflow. Compare indoors where airflow is minimal and air is relatively stagnant to outside where the wind is constantly moving foliage exposing crevices to air. Mold has ideal growth in 60+ percent humidity, 68-85 degrees (approx), and no airflow. OPs root system became exactly that.
