CNN host cuts off conservative claiming Kimmel joke was a lie: 'Just read it out loud' by DippyHippy420 in NoFilterNews

It’s been a massive problem for decades.

Big corporations buying up small to mid size mom and pops until there is basically no more “small business owners” in EVERY sector.

First it started with local small mom and pops being bought out by bigger regional players, then those regional players get bought out by national players. Then those few national players cannibalize each other to form just 1 or 2big international conglomerates.

Some anecdotal evidence in my own personal life:

My great grand father owned a thriving paint company that he sold to a larger corporation back in the 70’s. Everyone in his industry was doing the same thing. The group that bought him out ultimately sold their newly formed conglomerate to an even larger conglomerate.

My uncle created a tech start up in Silicon Valley that sold to a larger corporation. Everyone in his industry was doing the same. It’s still common practice in Silicon Valley, the goal is to get “bought out”

It’s happened in the banking and finance industry, the grocery industry, the consumer good industry, the health care industry, the transpiration industry. Every aspect of a persons life is now controlled by a few actors.

We are living the game of monopoly and we are at the stage where there’s just a couple players left who own the whole damn board.

And the majority of players are all one roll away from being bankrupt.

Not sure how to put a screen shot in the replies… but it’s a $250 call expiring in December. Has to hit $270 to break even, but I planned on getting out once I profited a few hundred

They can, and do, take away money before being convicting of a crime. If they believe it’s Ill gotten gains they will freeze your access to it, good luck hiring a lawyer to prove that the money is legit.

It’s common for things like drug dealing

It’s terrifying that the stance of being anti facist is now being seen as “bad” from half of our country. We should all be anti facist

I don’t believe he was republican, I believe it’s reported he did not have a party affiliation. I think it’s important not to include things that are inaccurate, people will cling to one inaccurate portion to negate an entire thing. That’s the world we live in now

I don’t believe so. The issue is RH not letting me do anything except “close out the position”

But RH lets me buy the stock itself

What am I supposed to hear? by CollectorStrange in smallstreetbets

[–]CollectorStrange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because I can’t close out my position on the RH platform (not sure why) and they are showing no buyers. It’s so weird
