    White people still are the most overrepresented in leadership https://about.google/belonging/diversity-annual-report/2023/ - you can deny reality all you want - there's only one gr…

    I don't believe this at all - the GOP is getting more and more diverse and there is no explicitly racist GOP policy. This is untrue for European ethno-nationalist parties. Sure the…

    These are considered "incubated" companies - I don't think these usually go well. Common in biotech though.

    Crypto was a massive innovation unlike AI - I'm referring to the ability to liquidate investments to retail by completely bypassing securities laws. I don't think this AI wave can …

    Gamestop and AMC's business is primarily selling stock at a massive premium to retail idiots. Their secondary business is making sure they are not violating their fiduciary duty. V…
