Is wearing a mask racist because it prevents old white people from dying?
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

If you have to even ask that question then you're not woke.

The stock market is racist and sexist because old white men make money from it.

I think I'm getting the hang of it now. Has AOC figured this one out yet?

Designed to fail.

While neural networks are capable of back propagation to adjust their ability to produce the desired result, they are bound to do so with the data and parameters they are trained with.

A group of scientists placed 5 monkeys in a cage and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on the top. Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the others beat up the one on the ladder.

"woke investor's agenda": Sell Energy 'cause it's bad, racist and Global Warming! Buy IT crap and crypto 'cause they're good, inclusive, equalitarian and they fight Global Warming!

These things do happen when everybody is on the same side of the boat, i.e. the woke, "liberal" sinking boat owned by the most corrupt political party in the US ever. Until that boat flips over, and they all drown in their own filth, nothing different is gonna happen any time soon.

Our state is on lockdown for billion billions and billions in environmental study lawsuits.
These half wits will not even allow them to tunnel and secure the drinking water for 50000000 people.
You are slaves to layers of corruption.

then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

One week ago, in our initial take on the biggest hedge fund collapse since LTCM, we explained that - in our view - the catalyst for the failure of the Archegos hedge fund, which had as much as 10x leverage allowing it to hold some $100BN in positions, was Morgan Stanley and Goldman breaking ranks with their fellow prime brokers, and sparking the biggest margin call since Lehman and AIG.
Turns out we were right.

The purpose of this and similar posts is to show what The Principle of Maximum Ruin has come to in my case. The principle is stated as:

If you want to figure out what the market will do during a generational crash, then assume it will take the path that will ruin the most people, and that's the path it will follow.

With the S&P 500 currently over 4000, and only a very small percentage of the population getting the benefit of that increase in the market, the suffering on the way up has been maximized and is set up to be maximized when the market crashes.

The quoted article below explains how the suffering on the way up to the top of the stock market bubble has been maximized.

We Can’t Afford to Live Anymore, and The Rich Are Gaslighting Us
While the author understands that the statistical mean or median person can't afford to live in the US anymore and further understands that the rich are gaslighting the average person, which is a good first step, the author still apparently fails to understand how and why the average person has gotten into this situation.

It's because the Federal Reserve blew up a stock market bubble for the top 1% while the middle class didn't benefit from the stock market bubble and only saw their costs outrun their pay.

Her proposed solution:
Let’s get real for a minute.

The economy needs baristas. It needs cashiers and servers and farmers. Society needs police officers and school teachers. It needs nurses and social workers. When someone gaslights them about their finances because they can’t pay their bills, they’re pretending we can live in a world without them. The truth is, we need them far more than we do lifestyle vloggers. The solution to widespread financial desperation isn’t to turn everyone into millionaire YouTubers and Instagram models.

It’s to pay them more.
I don't believe that will work at this point because the US economy no longer has enough real productive capacity remaining after what the Fed has misallocated and drained out since 2008. Most of the jobs that she proposes paying more either aren't necessary jobs or aren't being done efficiently enough to warrant more pay even if they are necessary. Police officers and school teachers being two obvious examples in the paragraph I've quoted.

It appears to me that the masses of people in the US have a lot more work to do to understand their current predicament.
