ffggvv··on Almost every Ferrari sold since 2005 is being recalled
at least in america a sports car would be a car like the toyota supra. Which only added a manual this year. Didn't offer it before. same with many bmw's etc.

intersting assumption. most sports cars don't even include a manual option these days.
ffggvv··on US has lost at least three nuclear bombs that have never been located
because they actually have a lot of those weapons and an extremely unstable/poor state.

ffggvv··on A man’s lonely fight to ban private jets
look at all the new cars. if they arent fully hybrid/electric, then they are these small displacement 4 cylinder engines. The v8 has essentially died out, or is on its last leg. V6 are super rare and only for the top trim cars. (look at 3 series bmw for example.. all the way from base 3 series to m3 and what has changed over the years)

In europe its alot worse than the uS.

Each new car generation that comes out in the US is now losing horsepower as the manufactureres have to hit environmental regulations.

120% on board with this. why can all these woke celebrities and politicians tell me I cant buy the car i want but they pollute the equivalent to 2000 people a year each.

maybe they should be first to make a “sacrificel

ffggvv··on What’s going on with Google and Facebook hiring freezes?

get rid of both

they hate it because it doesn't produce the results they want. And instead of introspecting they want to blame the system itself.

most arguments i see for affirmative action are on the face not logically consistent. but it feels more like the type of policy where people choose what action they want ahead of time and then desperately scramble for any justifications possible.

it's turtles all the way down. people will simply say the roots of the other problems that cause disparities are discrimination. And if you try to disprove that.. you see where this is going.

ffggvv··on US Gross Domestic Product, Second Quarter 2022 (Advance Estimate)
lol that’s pretty funny. forgot he’s the type that just wants the govt to keep printing money despite the massive inflation. that’s the number one goal in his life.

and yes fox news is right leaning but atleast they’re open about it. and a 10% drop after a 2x increase isn’t that exciting

ffggvv··on VCs are scared when they should be greedy
tell that to fang companies. some fire less than 2% of the work force.
ffggvv··on VCs are scared when they should be greedy
VCs as a whole are followers, not leaders (with small exceptions). they all just fly into the latest hype bandwagon hoping to replicate the last big success.
ffggvv··on Price shocks in formative years scar consumption for life
no i’m saying high energy prices make them even more expensive
ffggvv··on Price shocks in formative years scar consumption for life
what if i told you a lot of fossil fuels go into producing electric cars, which then drives up the price of them making them out of reach for the avg person
ffggvv··on Price shocks in formative years scar consumption for life
scarring consumption is probably a good thing at an individual level as most people are reckless with money

but the way our society is built we need people to consume to keep the economy afloat

ffggvv··on Coinbase lays off around 1,100 employees
that’s true, volume driven by money already in the system will fall due to prices going down.

volume driven by new money coming in will be reduced by the phenomenon i mentioned (price down, less hype, less money coming in).

So if we break volume down in 2 groups the first would experience what you’re saying and the second would experience what i’m saying. It’s the same with stocks but to a much lesser extent, especially because 401ks and institutions are required to buy no matter what

Not sure what percent of volume is each case.

ffggvv··on Coinbase lays off around 1,100 employees
happy to be proven wrong but i think most investors say “i have 10k, i want to buy as much bitcoin as that buys me.”

rather than “i wanna buy 1 bitcoin, regardless of price”.

atleast that’s how i think of things. in terms of dollars invested. not coins desired.

same with stocks. i say i wanna 5k in Coke stock, not 121 shares.

youre right they make money off volume, not price. but volume surges when price goes up and dries up when prices go down. (aka crypto winter)
