New York Mayor Eric Adams did not mince his words about his disapproval of what he called the large number of “nasty” Gen Z voters supporting Zhoran Mamdani, the democratic socialist candidate leading the race for NYC mayor.

    Yeah, but you gotta think of the shareholder value for the next quarter! The Chinese think in decades. We don’t! Capitalism FTW, baby!

      nobody actually cares about shareholders, the entire foundational idea around stock-markets was to essentially act as a liquidity trap, to seperate the new-rich from their $. and it was a resounding success.

      as with many other things, most of the rest of the world regulated out the most glaring flaws in this setup so that it’s atleast somewhat functional, but certain rules/exceptions to rules exist within the american system that act as obscene advantages to insiders a/o old-money.

      every single “crash” is by design, and the next rugpull won’t be too much longer now…

        Don’t you mean the people with the closest and fastest connections so they can make pennies on trades before everyone else and make millions for basically no effort except some fancy stock trading algorithm they regularly update…
