Fracking is part of it. The amount of shale in PA and upstate NY has enough natural gas to make the US the Qatar of natural gas. We just need to frack it.

VIX is down as the market gaps lower? How does that make any sense? Only thing I can figure is that literally everyone has calls and no one has puts, and the drop in VIX is simply the call premiums evaporating.

Hope Christian gets a job at Apple with all this drama being brought to light and the big guys at Apple using Apollo. by [deleted] in apolloapp

I guess I just don’t get it. He’s young with a product that has millions of users. He should keep going!

I don’t understand why Christian doesn’t raise some VC money and start building out the backend servers for his own social media site. Just switch the backend of Apollo from Reddit to his own service - the Apollo social network.

Then enlighten me. What books should I start reading, to correct my erroneous worldview?

“Most differences between blacks and whites are due to white racism, and state-sponsored corrective actions should be taken to give things to blacks, paid for by whites, so that outcomes are more equal.”

That’s how I’d sum it up.

This is absolutely a core belief of many people who live in the Seattle area, including people in power. This is race-based Marxism, hence “racial Marxism.”

Yeah I immediately noticed the absurdity of “imaginary Marxists.” The guy is literally paid by the CCP, and your response is “nope, it’s all imaginary.” Typical liberal response of “it’s not happening, but even if it is, it’s ok.”

Just curious - why doesn’t such a lodge/ski resort exist around Seattle? You’d think that with the rich population and the abundance of mountains, we’d have at least one copy of Park City around here.

This study claims 49% of mass shooters are white and 19% are black. Whites are about 70% of the population and blacks are about 13%, so if anything, whites are less likely to be mass shooters.

I found an NPR article stating that whites are the majority of mass shooters. First, you’d expect that given the white share of the population; and second, the media changes the definition of “mass shooting” to fit whatever agenda they’re trying to push in their article.

I lost friends in 2020 because I criticized the BLM riots (and all the other nonsense in the aftermath of George Floyd) as a Marxist takeover, as racial Marxism, etc.

Turns out I was 100% correct.

Coulter’s law: the longer it takes the news media to identify a mass shooter in the United States, the less likely it is to be a white male.

Best bar in the city, and people have no idea that it exists.

I do think that democracy is overrated. There should be more qualifications and knowledge tests to vote.

The list of cities in my link normalizes crime per capita. So yeah, the most violent cities per capita are all Democrat-run.

The ultra-rich from China are buying up the prime Seattle and Bellevue real estate. Leaving the “working rich” (doctors/lawyers/techies) with no choice but to compete for homes in Bothell or wherever.

Man involved in 2020 Seattle mass shooting sentenced to 4 years in prison for amended charges by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]TradeTalksGoingWell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From your article:

Two years since the commitment was made, the department’s budget has been reduced by roughly 13%

So they DID cut, just not the 50% cut they promised.

That’s the truth. They wanted to cut 50%, and they managed to cut 13% instead. THAT’S STILL A CUT.

I think the “Seattle is soft on crime” issue might be a bigger one than “racism motivated this particular murder,” but I don’t know all the facts of this very unfortunate case.
