I forget what the fancy term for it is, but it's been a concern ever since my buddy who worked in satellite communications for the military clued me in to its existence.
Kessler syndrome.
The problem with index funds is you're forced to buy SpaceX regardless, at least if you're in the Nasdaq. If Elon can keep the bullshit going, its inclusion in the S&P 500 isn't far behind.
Fucking Allbirds, the shoe company, 6x its stock price all because it said the magic AI word and retarded retail groids and algobots bought it up. Tesla, the mediocre car company, is no different; it just has a better cult leader.
Every company is in a competition to get into the S&P 500 and other indices so they can defraud retirement accounts forced to buy their hot garbage of a stock.
Last time someone tried space resource extraction it gave us necromorphs.
No, Elon, I'm not holding your bag.
Other way around, Yahtzee followed them. Yahtzee's an eternal wagie and afraid of going independent.
Bongs don't have air conditioning and they're weirdly proud of that fact, despite constantly dying to heat stroke.
Oh, and the windows don't open all the way because the government is afraid people will jump and suicide out of them.
I'm not advocating shit, unlike the (((fund managers))) and fiduciaries who will vote for ESG corporate governance with your own shares. That's part of the deal when you buy the index from Blackrock or Vanguard.
I was talking more about the moral hazard of letting corpos get free retirement money every month from gormless normies who don't care that they're investing in absolute dogshit as long as Index Go Up.
With everyone in index funds, everyone is trying to game the index. You have the orange shabbos goy trying to pump the stock market up every week, and now Elon trying to sell his bag to retail investors with the SpaceX IPO.
The move from baked lighting to realistic ray tracing means a noticeable loss in cinematography along with it.
Video game development is now a government DEI work program. Money and message are incidental compared to securing the loyalty of the useless eaters.
Normies need RTX lighting and DLSS textures.
Although I do think there will still be a push to release propaganda flops, because the money will keep being put there in illicit ways.
Most investors are index plebs nowadays, and the feds will never let Line Go Down. Why not soak 401(k)s for some nepobaby jobs?
"Yes, I truly believe the world would be better if us goy--I mean, whites disappeared." -- Shlomo Goldberg-Shekelstein
Only if you have skin in the game. Rentoids fuck all of that up, especially if they use Section 8 vouchers.
Oy vey, the goyim won't let me in! it's anuddah shoah!
It's mildly amusing knowing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was nominated for the Gayming Award and Vavra tweeted a long-ass pilpul claiming he's totally not woke.
Mandatory "I love jews" segment in the last act where you must protect your greatest ally from evil white christians who want to kill them for no reason. To facilitate this arc, they introduced an imaginary jew quarter into a city thst, historically, had no such thing at the time.
No enterable churches, despite taking place in Christian Bohemia. Fully modeled synagogue though, complete with secret underground tunnels.
The Powers That Be supposedly really, really care about votes because of legitimacy or some shit. I don't really buy that theory, because they could always put every single ballot in a shredder and make shit up afterwards.
Daughters are the best of both worlds in media. It triggers the simping girldad instinct in men, and it gives women someone to self-insert onto (even if she's a 40yo roastie).
In the eyes of a woman, every criminal is just a cranky toddler in need of a nap or a time-out.
Stolen vehicles only get a shrug from police, so mass surveillance wouldn't have preemptively stopped this. Same with all the fake temporary dealer plates illegals use to skip registration, insurance, and tolls—police don't care. Bonus points if the plate's on a clapped-out Nissan shitbox with peeling paint and a missing bumper.
How does one amass an army to invade Iran? The country is a natural fortress, with fuckoff mountain ranges on all four sides.
Freeze kits can be dangerous because you can easily asphyxiate yourself from the CO2 gas. It's a last resort, and no plumber would use that when there's an operable main shutoff.
It seems like OP's real problem is obstructive bureaucrat dipshits, in which case he should call the plumber anyway. At least they can tell the building supervisor to fuck off.
The greater fools in this picture are pensions and 401(k)s that'll keep automatically buying toxic waste because MUH INDEX.
