  • the dreaded “death cross,” a historical indicator of a likely downturn for the company

    […] occurs when a company’s 50-day moving average crosses and drops below the 200-day average.

    Fuck Tesla and all that, but holy shit is that standard ever a depressing indicator of to just how reliant late stage capitalism is on endless growth that a tiny dip after half a year of stagnation is a reliable indicator of a company’s imminent failure.



  • There’s this weird phenomenon where Zionism and antisemitism have a ton of overlap on the far right. White Christian nationalism has end times beliefs that rely on Israel existing as a nation in full control of the entire original “Holy Land,” but such beliefs don’t necessarily require the Jewish people to be thriving or treated as equals.

    I guess it’s possible that Israeli intelligence and leadership behind such an operation, if there is any legitimacy to the idea this was a Mossad operation, could’ve decided that the odd hate crime carried out against Jews by mentally ill lone wolves stochastic terrorists would not only be a comparatively small price to pay in the furtherance of their goals, but even serve to galvanise the broader populace in support of Israel. And that outcome is actually what we’re seeing in reality - we see that a large number of moderates and even some progressives have hopped on board the “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” train.

    I’m not saying I believe this theory, but it definitely seems plausible.









  • The system would require each worker to contribute just fifteen hours of labor per week

    The irony of this whole thing is that fifteen hours of actual work isn’t that far from what I do in an average week, but I’m still here forty hours. And I work with my hands, in a skilled trade in an industrial facility; I can’t even imagine how much time-wasting a lot of white collar people do.

    Outside of shutdowns, I could easily work three days a week with no loss of productivity. But that’s just not an option.
