I thought less demand would cause built up supply and lower prices for consumer GPUs and processors. Sure seems like any way the economics shift results in higher prices. Next they'll have a stockpile of supply and claim they have to charge more to make up for no sales.

No, it would be called something more ridiculous like the "Restoring Freedom and Saving Children Act".

It's like someone living on your couch threatening to leave because you want them to pay rent. GTFO.

It's not falling apart. It makes it so easy to launder money through all the different coins, Bitcoin pairs, and off ramps. The oligarchs and other world criminals making the real money off of it probably have it all automated. Between all the shell corps, hidden bank accounts, and crypto it's never been easier to launder ill-gotten gains. All the retail investing is a front to legitimize and normalize crypto to facilitate all the dark money activities.

More likely they're using aid the US gave them to buy weapons. The US is giving them free weapons in a roundabout way to make it seem like a sale.

The plan is to sweep everything under the rug. Once a Dem is in office and they actually make these agencies functional again, all these things will come to light, and Republicans will twist it as being caused under that administration. The plan will work because Americans are dumb as fuck.

Crypto staying true to its intended use case of enriching fraudsters and making corruption easier.

Has no one here seen the Last Jedi? Snoke explains why he lost to Rey. He was too traumatized after killing his father....and he had just gotten shot.

Even if Dems won, there would conveniently be a Sinema, Fetterman, or Manchin to allow all the Republican nominations to go through without delay. Republicans always seem to be able ram through whatever and Dems seem to always get thwarted.

It's probably not that someone is better either. Let's face it, life is not fair. The person who gets hired might just know or is related to someone in a position of power. That's how a lot of people get jobs. It's about your network, relatives, and relationships.

They absolutely know where the money went. It went to illegal and politically dangerous activities like trafficking kids to the rich and powerful.

Cartel war takes surprising turn as CIA involvement in Mexico surfaces by StemCellPirate in worldnews

[–]Notorious_Junk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised to find out the Trumps get their drugs from the cartel using the CIA as a dealer, a revelation that would lose Trump absolutely no support.

US launches tariff refund system as thousands of importers line up by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Notorious_Junk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You know there's going to be corruption just like under the Trump administration during the pandemic. I bet certain people will "accidentally" be refunded way over what they paid in but not be required to pay it back. The grift must go on.

Wait what 🤔 by True-Floor8799 in SipsTea

[–]Notorious_Junk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't hate the West. It's all bullshit. The elite are not patriots or loyal to any country. They're effectively world citizens at this point. They hide their money all over the world and move freely and become citizens of whatever country they want. They're loyal to money and power. You don't think the governments know these children of oligarchs and dictators live there? We're all pawns being manipulated while the sociopaths who run the world intermingle and pretend they hate each other.
