The Gamestop fiasco reveals our ruling oligarchs at their worst
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
A week or so ago, I quoted Prof. Angelo Codevilla's view that America is now an oligarchy. That's become even clearer in the current imbroglio over short-selling of Gamestop shares. The hedge funds that usually make fortunes at this game were caught off-guard by "ordinary folks" like you and I, who organized on Reddit and began their own short-selling campaign to force the hedge funds into closing out their short positions at far higher costs. The result was that Robinhood, a popular trading app, restricted trading in Gamestop yesterday, and some of its members even had their...
Energy conservation holds in quantum mechanics

Instead, we live in the era when the mass media are intensely misinforming and indoctrinating the readers so you may read a promotion of this pseudoscience at the moderately widely read blog of the male co-author.

With this type of innovation the buffalo commons is on the way back. The majors have created the necessary commodity market that supports the steak market for high quality premium sales. You were never going to own that and by the way, you never wanted to own that unless you want to own millions in equipm...
