Now that GameStonk is a $25 billion company, how long until they buy Steam or EA or somebody? If GME is distribution, then Steam seems like a logical acquisition.
Re:Ask HN: Is the systemic risk on stock market getting too high?

The very best answer is: Nobody knows.
If you are not emotionally or financially prepared for your portfolio to decline by half, you shouldn’t be in the market.

Good point. Crime is down. Sounds like policing is working. Give the boys in blue a raise. Anyone who thinks police are overpaid should apply for the job.

10 years ago, I could get behind the anti-cop bit as things had gone too far police state, but today with dangerous crazed chaos in the streets and the being made to do all the kneeling and feet washing... Anybody who can stand working as a cop deserves a medal.

I’m looking in starting a brokerage where we take all your money and then change TOS so you can only have shares in the brokerage, which you can’t sell. Nonvoting. Then I’m leaving town. I’m calling it Don’t Kill Puppies brokerage.

We’ve got billions of people who need to feel sufficient confidence in the media and authorities to take vaccines nobody has used before at a time when every media outlet has some agenda to monkey around with what we know to be true. Not cool.

Bachelor’s degree in business, master’s degree in business, and a law degree. I would have been far, far ahead to have continued to develop a business I started in middle school.

I regret every one of my degrees. The “big lie” isn’t the regular round of election skulduggery, it’s convincing millions of young people to waste their time and treasure on useless degrees.

Why are your options limited? I’ve got more options than ever. They’re all lousy, same as ever. The housing bubble was the same nutty crap excited bankers do every time they get de-regulated. The liquidity is a palatable way to surrender reserve currency status.

This is just absurd indulgent whining. Find something useful to do; there is plenty of work for everyone. Find simple pleasure in being kind. Be thankful for what you have. Tinder dates and sex calendars reflect a lack of character not a problem with society.
