    Link.  I'd like to show my "libertarian" cousin how us cutting spending on Ukraine is really punching ourselves in the nutsack by not getting defense jobs.

    Unfortunately I think it’s subscribers only.  Their intelligence podcast had a great summary of it and is free.

    Fantastic fabulous super calafragalistic expialadocious… whatever just give me the fucking stock options at $50 per share god dammit. 

    Dude you can't add spaces to singing like that, you go girl.

     

    $50 per share is kind of open ended if you know what I mean.

  3. Fascinating story from the Economist today on how it's up to Europe to finance/prop up Ukraine for the next few years.  $140 billion is from frozen Rus assets, and probably another $260 billion from common bonds.  Because the US funding is basically gone.  The most interesting thing is that the focus is on funding Euro defense companies with that funding, so that less and less goes to US companies.  Nice.

    I’d be a fabulous senior VP or corporate VP but a shitty rank and file which is how I would  have had to start. It’s really an impossible task for me to be an employee.  At this point though if I get an offer that’s a high enough level I’ll consider it but it’s not like I’m sitting on my ass the last 20 years either. 

    A fabulous VP sounds kind of RuPaul like but you do you.

    VP depends entirely on the organization.  I'm trying to get one of my best employees promoted to VP and the assholes around the room are saying she's just too young.  You fucking idiots, that's why she should be a VP running an office.

     That you know about. This site has more than one "wealthy" guy, there's at least 4-5 "wealthy guys," and I'd guess probably 15-20 or more in the $5 million range.

    There's probably a lot of engineers and lawyers worth well over a million just based on long careers and retirement funds, particularly if we're including home equity. 

    I think it's more like an iceburg. 80% of it is below the water and doesn't post or you'd never know about it. Someone here probably invented a Jump to Conclusions mat. 

    Iceberg.  Sorry for partying like the 1%.

    So you’re saying you sign/seal things without checking/reading them?

    No, I’m aware of my responsibility. After an initial review you don’t expect changes to things you didn’t mark.  There’s no guarantee if someone is using AI to write that it won’t be different.  So yes, if a seventy page report has four or five revisions now I’m going to have to reread every word.  Because if there’s one thing AI is known for is a different response each time due to their model.

  7. If you don’t think your company could track you you’re not paying attention.  I don’t use any of it but my company HR has a ton of tools and data available to me if I want it.  I just don’t give a shit to worry about anything except my people getting their work done.  I think my biggest fear now is the dumber ones trying to use AI to write engineering reports or letters, which either they or I seal.  I am really nervous about something slipping by with a hallucination in it.

  8. Look our government has its stress test and turns out it was not designed for this level of stupidity in the population.  We can look forward to restricting voting to property owners soon.  It is not going to look anything like the old system.

    Back in UURAF 15,000 shares at $4.32. Have 10,000 shares of UUUU at $6.63 and 15,100 shares of EOSE at $5.79.   Have alerts set at $12.15 for EOSE and $17 for UUUU to add to those positions on a pullback.  If those don’t materialize, well, worse things could happen.  

    You're my hero.  I couldn't take the heat and finally bailed on IBRX.  Fuck PSS and his fucking goat ass stock.  Hope he cures cancer and doesn't get ass cancer himself.  But he fucked me pretty good with that stock.

     

    UURAF is interesting and I made a bit on it.  Debating getting back in if the REE talks don't go well.  I am sitting on a big pile of ARSMF right now that would really like to see fluorspar production.
