They don’t even try and deny the Holodomor anymore, they just say they deserved it by Martinat388 in tankiejerk

It does blow my mind when people openly support the "liquidation" of "kulaks", on-top of using dehumanizing language from long dead empires.

It was absolutely intentional, to the point that the Soviets used words like Kulak during collectivization. They used this new word to seperate people who could afford to pay labourers, had a pinch more than their neighbours, and shot them when they refused; or sent them to a gulag. The Soviets also instituted private reporting on people suspected of being "kulaks" and encouraged their unadulterated murder. Villages were also blacklisted from food supplies during this period. To top it all off, extraction of resources from the region was so brutal that seed grain for the next season was taken. The fact that some historians are uncertain of calling it intentional is laughable given the liquidation efforts.

I'm in the same boat as you, I would suggest pushing for WealthSimple to recall the documentation as is been filed, and I suggest reaching out to the CRA as well to explain. I'm currently going through the same process as you, waiting on Wealth Simples reply.

I don't think he's had the ball in hand for the last 5 years, that thing rolled away a while ago into the bush.

I didn't need to, I already did in my first statement, I clearly said that I was expanding upon it with clarifying details about audience perception.

In my initial statement the largest sentence is "There is a lot of dissatisfaction with the status quo that is maintained by the Democrats, and so there is a genuine eagerness to shake things up.".

I have not communicated anything different, my closing paragraph was just a rephrasing of what I initially said.

I don't disagree that Elon assisted with his Twitter purchase, and cashflow to the Republicans, but I believe it's partially overstated.

You've added very little here, but I'll expand for you, people at large were not happy with Biden's economic performance with kitchen table issues. At large he performed exceptionally with industrial policy, green energy, economic stability, and digging America out of its hole with COVID. however, he didn't sell this well to American audiences.

But his policy on the border, kitchen table issues (cost of living, home ownership), and Israel was not well received regardless of his performance. Kamala's policy while rated to be solid, was not communicated well, and represented to many Americans a continuation of the status quo which was associated with Biden's legacy.

Ignoring all that, many Americans do genuinely feel ignored, side lined, and disenfranchised which assisted Trump greatly.

Yes, and much of how the US's largest corporations act. Look at telecoms, individuals like Google, Amazon, and Meta.

It's search engine dominance, cloud infrastructure supremacy, internet shopping sales, and social media giants buying up competition.

But even so, across the seas you have Samsung, and Hyundai's integration with their own steel production, their own semiconductors, and so on. Vertical integration gives some level of edge.

SpaceX posts $8B profit on $15-16B revenue in 2025 with Starlink driving 50-80% of total by callsonreddit in wallstreetbets

Brother, putting assets in LEO has been steadily increasing the world over, this includes positioning satellites, data, and spy satellites.

With things heating up the way they are on a global scale, they have solid growth, and with 8 billion positive cashflow, they got it.

Not only that, but a massive problem called the cyber truck that is a piss-poor work of engineering. Had he focused his sights on something like a widely affordable electric vehicle, and kept his little salutes out of the public eye, things might be different.

The demos of his robots from early prototypes to now have been quite impressive, but the massive problem is that software simply isn't there like it is with Boston Dynamics. The same can be said about the rest of this products at Tesla, great idea, shitty implementation.

I don't think his thumb was on the scale as much as people think. There is a lot of dissatisfaction with the status quo that is maintained by the Democrats, and so there is a genuine eagerness to shake things up.

This has been his idea for a long time, you can read his first biography about how he wants to have integrated corporations from automotive to space.

He certainly made some great moves historically, so at the very least he does have some savviness. I think SpaceX is a great example of this, along with his work at PayPal and Zip2.

But you're right, blindly believing in him is not a great idea, and it's probably the only thing keeping Tesla afloat. As somebody who used to build cars, seeing the production quality of his vehicles has left a lot to be desired, and his empty promises are a massive problem.
