politics @lemmy.world•Senate passes bill to lower housing costs and restrict Wall Street from buying homes
21·3 days agoYou think that’s the chart for S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq?
To be sure - the stock market is not a good measure of economic health. Nor do I disagree that what you and the people you know are experiencing as your lived experience. But whatever that is, it’s some historical cherry picked chart that is not YTD performance of the major indexes.

politics @lemmy.world•Palantir CEO Says Making War Crimes Constitutional Would Be Good for Business
7·2 months ago“you would have to make 100% sure of the exact conditions it’s happening in, and in order to do that, the military would have to use Palantir’s technology, for which it pays roughly $10 Billion under its current contract.”
Trump could do the funniest thing - call Palantir essential for national security, buy it under Eminent Domain “at a reasonable price” (let Trump call it 20x forward earnings instead of 220x or ~10% current market cap), and let the competency of the government run it’s course until the whole thing has degraded

I can see where this is going. I don’t disagree that just about everything is in worse shape than I’ve ever seen it, but don’t look at the stock market to help substantiate your claim. People with the excess cash to invest are doing just fine. Good luck out there ✌️🕊️
