Chat, are we cooked as a nation?

The person who has a $38 million dollar short on silver at 20X leverage at $97.34 is fucked. The current price of silver is $120 and this person will be liquidated at $125.22 if he hasn’t covered yet 😹😭🤣🤭

Depends. My guess is that person has more than enough to cover the short.

People don't want my fascist cars? Fine, I'll exit the B2C market and sell my fascist robots to businesses instead! Just as soon as I have a production-ready model that can actually deliver value, that is. Any day now!

Congrats on the new job, assuming you like this new job, lol....

It's funny how we've been convinced that money is for hard workers, when the rich get more handouts than the poor. Farmers got MASSIVE welfare because they are so dumb. And I saw data that they were getting more income from their product with Obama and Biden (by a lot), but voted for the orange moron so they don't have to work.

And you paid for your unemployment. But I get the icky feeling.

Despite the circumstances, I think I learned a valuable lesson from this whole experience. Staying and being unhappy at a job you don't like just because it pays well and you don't want to have to explain a short tenure on your resume is foolish. Especially in my niche where there are still plenty of opportunities. The red flags were pretty much all there in the first 6 months, and I should have been looking to leave last winter. I stayed thinking it would get better after they completed a re-org to finish off a merger with another professional services firm they had bought before I joined, and instead it got worse. It's a two-way street and I also made some mistakes, but I should have cut my losses sooner.
