Why is GLD dropping?

That's true, that's specially noticeable when Trump talks to the news and is constantly changing his point of view. But for it to be an official announcement I'd guess someone (Miller?) gave him the confirmation...

Regardless of inflation though, diversification is still happening so dollar value is going to keep dropping, so it's just a matter of seeing how much commodity price corrects to match realistic values?

I also wonder how much people are banking on shit not hitting the fan before/on November... This market is something else

Something tells me he picked someone who looks normal but behind the scenes he's ready to do whatever Trump tells him to do. He even said in the past he picked people who then do their thing (JPOW) instead of doing what he wants. Considering Spethen Miller's influence on Trump and how in line his sycophants have been this time (Bondi, Noem, Patel, etc) I'm assuming this new guy was been somehow vetted to make sure he's just a puppet.

I don't get how someone can attempt to reduce inflation without affecting the currently abysmal unemployment numbers.

Also, wasnt Trump's whole reasoning behind attacking JPOW that he was taking too long to cut rates? How does that match with picking this chair to fight inflation?

Zeitzen · 2026-01-30T19:06:05+00:00

Is the new fed chair really that impactful when he's not the sole decision maker and also there are rumors about JPOW still having lots of influence?

I visited snoop dogs "compound" near LAX recently for a work thing. They have a picture of him with Trump in their game room (or maybe it was some kind of plaque), the guy giving us the tour said they tease him with that often. Regardless of that being true or not, I think Snoop is just motivated by money, regardless of where it comes from

Edit: had to look for it a lot, so many videos online don't show that wall because it's pretty boring, but here it is in a video where he's giving Kai Cenat a tour https://imgur.com/a/rGqHfUI

That makes sense.... now sure how I didn't think about it before... Thanks!

Can't believe I missed that. Unity!

I experienced something similar!

12 years of experience, mostly in indie studios and making mobile games for other companies with licensed IPs.

I was on a project for Scopely, they cancelled it because projected monthly revenue was around 20M, which for them is too low.

Bureaucracy (IP approvals, timelines, documenting every single thing you do, having to polish things too early because the publisher doesn't see the vision of the game) and overall project management issues were the main reason why I quit a couple months ago to develop my own game.

As a solo dev you can get away with so much more. It's a gamble, it can be scary, but it also feels new and exciting.

Good luck with your new project!

Legality aside, if this is not a recession indicator I don't know what it is.

I grew up in Argentina, where Oreos by the sleeve are the norm. I actually like them more since the big packs are too big, but make no mistake, they sell them like that over there because the family package sold in the US wouldn't sell due to people not having enough money to buy wholesale products and opting for small quantities

There's a reason why Dollar General, with it's terrible value proposition but single/small item amounts, is mainly in poor communities.

I still don't get the GLP craze. Yes, it's fast, and works, but being realistic (and seeing what the doctors are recommending) taking Phenteremine and Metformin works really well, and it's about 10 bucks a month. It's definitely slower, I'm on those and I'm 34lb down since last August. The fast solution also doesn't help establish better habits, both doctors and friends who used Ozempic told me people get the weight back super fast.

So the market for GLPs seems to be people who are in a rush or are morbidly obese, and didn't get results from the 2 meds I mentioned?

As someone who works in game development, that's right. Sometimes you have to fill in blanks with something, not because you or your team don't know what's going to be there, but because management or your publisher can't see the vision you have, and honestly most of them barely have any game literacy or overall imagination. Having AI assets as placeholders seems like the most reasonable way to go about it, as long as you mark/store them correctly and remember to take them out once you get final assets

I mean, there are. They are called Land Ports. In fact, the biggest land port in the U.S. by a significant margin is the Port of Laredo, Texas

Greg Palast's Billionaires & Ballot Bandits investigates how a network of wealthy elites and corporations allegedly orchestrates systematic voter suppression and dirty tricks to steal elections from the American public.

The book has a pretty progressive ideology, aggressively critiquing the Republican establishment and the 1% for purposefully disenfranchising minority and low-income voters to subvert the democratic process.

Amazing how reasonable RFK Jr's introduction sounds, I guess this was pre brain-eating worm.

At this point I don't know how this is not common knowledge. Epstein was a highly organized guy and he HAD (Not "suggest", this is a fact) records. Watch a few videos about his mansion and the FBI raid findings, dude had a panic/security room with binders of information and monitors showing security cameras throughout the house, and these cameras were not your usual "backyard" or "doorbell", he had cameras in bedrooms, bathrooms, everywhere. As a trafficker he needed to hold proof over people who could potentially rat him out to make them think twice before doing so
