Yes, it is different. Pretending it is the same is just another way to defend the corrupt ones.

how exactly is different…? I give you Trump, you give me Biden. I give you Scott, you give me Pelosi. I give you Bush, you give me Clinton… it is not different but regardless of whether it is or isn’t no one is defending it. it is just a disservice to everyone to think somehow magically things are all this different now than before, same crap different toilet paper

Lol which major media companies paid bribes to the Biden family?

I don't disagree that they're all corrupt bastards but come on man you cannot seriously pretend the degree of corruption is the same.

Ok, give me biden. Where are his lists of corruption scandals[1]? His public statements about taking bribes? I'm not quite sure how to explain this very obvious point: biden and his government was not corrupt in any meaningful sense and trump and his government is extremely corrupt and pretending that they're the same is both factually wrong and has the effect of protecting trump and his corruption. The point isn't t…

If you think Biden is corrupt surely you're completely crashing out about Trump.

Or do you only care about corruption when it's not your team?

It's different because it's all about that now. The Clintons had their scandals, the "pay to play" lists etc. We all know they are in bed with the moneymen. But it didn't define their administration, and they were pretty hush-hush about it. Trump on the other hand is completely open about this. He even brags about making money from deals, something that was previously considered a huge conflict of interest. He appoin…

just do a simple thing - ballpark how many lives of innocent people has America taken, lets just say since WWII. then lets see after you ballpark this whether you still think we are (or ever were) “good guys”

Hahaha why are people so mad at this visualization? I thought it was pretty cool!

Most people are not doers but losers. When someone does anything, they like to throw s*t at it. Doers are perpetually disliked by losers simply because they can do stuff while them can't. It's natural that the losers' actions are aligned towards making doers disappear, but it's usually a very low level and pathetic threat to doers. I enjoyed reading your article and hope you have more stuff coming :). Keep it going!

If you are going to be a doer - make sure to never give anyone else equity. Lest a private party with a liquid $20 billion creeps around the corner...

nope, I just don’t fall for the sensantionalism and clickbait shit like “oh oh shit is really bad now, OMG we were such a sancuary before but look at us now…”

Literally nobody has said things were good before. Only that they are objectively worse now

> The $20B will be paid out to investors. You are stating this as a fact. Do you have any links? Otherwise, the simplest interpretation is that the $20B is paid by Nvidia to Groq, the company, not the investors. I don't even think it is legally possible for Nvidia to do a deal with Groq's investors directly, rather than with Groq.

Right; Nvidia pays Groq then Groq pays the investors. Groq has no better use for the money.

Is that your opinion, or you have some more solid source to state that?

Because your argument sounds something like this: Nvidia did something (a fact), and I am sure that after that Groq will do something else (not a fact), therefore Nvidia is such a bad player. Do you consider this to be a correct argument?
