Twitter's Stock Downgraded from "Hold" to "Sell"

That's because it's essentially a petri dish for stupidity, cowardice, cruelty, and impotent hatred, and we already have plenty of that without it.

75 I mentioned this the other day. Okay, not the stock recommend, but the fact that Social Media is all-in on leftism, and pledged to help in any way.

In any way.
Whether it is banning BadThought, or taking a hit in share price.
Whatever it takes.

Of course, I posit that the bigs have insulated themselves from most of the downside, as their own actions have consequences and they know what they are.

IF Trump wins, expect a "re-evaluation" of policy at Facebook, reddit, etc.
Expect Twitter to sell, and new management to institute a (temporarily) balanced free speech policy.

If Hellary wins, expect them all to spike the ball and redouble their efforts.
Except Twitter, which is still going to be bought out.

197 Ya gotta fight the power. Fight the powers that be ...

1 Stop buying stuff
2 Do only what the government directly compels you to do.
3 Pay in cash with a winkwink
4 Cheat the government whenever possible
5 Steal all your entertainment
6 If you know of tax cheating, keep your mouth shut
7 If called to jury, refuse to convict
8 Discriminate in all your private dealings, without openly saying so
9 If you see a CoC sticker on a business, go elsewhere
10 Vote against all tax levies, particularly school levies
11 Buy firearms and ammo. It's not simply a just-in-case, it's a good financial investment of small sums when savings are yielding 1/4 of a percent.

Good Citizens and consumers are chumps.

199 There was a comment the other day about the visible falloff in restaurant patronage. The RR segment, retail and restaurant, hasn't been doing well to begin with.

If these mass shootings in public places continue, expect a fast and nasty cascade of restaurants and retailers folding. They don't have the margins or the capitalization to hang in there.

When the employment numbers are built around large numbers of waiter and bartender jobs, as has been the case in the Obama economic miracle, those numbers are going to take a huge hit too.

Once some of the leading conservatives fall off the other "followers" will self-ban.

As I stated up-thread, counter intel guy visited my son's vet group on campus and told them there are ISIS-related organizations using FB to try and get active duty and veterans to friend "women." He showed them a list of about 100 names, and son recognized at least 10 who have reached out to him. Son said the broken English was a tell.

How did the ISIS related group get their names in order to honeypot them in the first place? That bothers me as much as what they are doing.

But priorities, Jane. We have to make sure everyone feels special in today's military, no matter what. But actual veterans and soldiers, who do it for love of country, better sit down and shut up and wait in line for the VA to call them.

I think it's an interesting peek into human nature that every huge social media company is assumed invulnerable right up until it collapses. See re: My Space. And yet, the next hot company is assumed to be invaluable right up until it isn't and then everyone acts all shocked and surprised.

Speaking of valuations and expanding user bases and the like, I think the ultimate proof that the kid who started Tumblr is very bright indeed is that he told Yahoo "You know what? I think I want all cash, not any stock."

Sometimes fragmentation may actually INCREASE group-think.

Take political blogs, for example, and consider the tendency of the in-crowd to gang up on anyone who doesn't properly echo the popular line. This can lead to fragmentation into smaller blogs that are then insulated from dissidents.

Russia is entirely predictable. They act in a self interested way. If they can improve themselves at your expense and know they can get away with it, they will do so. They are a rational actor. The west hates itself and acts in an irrational, unpredictable manner. It wants to punish itself, but not too much, too quickly. But it can't admit that, so the plans aren't usually well thought out.

368 There's been a Muslim attack just about every day for a couple of weeks now. Its just once in a while they are huge, and sometimes they are small. Axe on a train, stabbing girls, this guy, it keeps happening again and again.

If only we had a president who had allies that would work together to get to the root of this, to track back the network, funding, and supplies, and wipe them out. It worked for a decade or so when Bush did it.

Oh wait, I'm sorry, I'm supposed to hate Bush and pretend the war on terror was a huge mistake we don't talk about any longer here.

455 Someone linked to a story by AP - Lee, their State Dept. reporter (who is good - actually a real reporter, in the old sense many thought/hoped they actually existed).


The quotes he runs from the predictable folks are utterly predictable, and yet utterly delusional.


NATO has been a massive inertial mindset and collection of iron rice bowls looking for a purpose since 1991. It has been irrelevant to every important undertaking since then - when not actually a hindrance (and in each case where NATO members pitched in, the NATO structure was not relevant or needed).


In any case, the US - under the current band of idiots, an operation many here actually claim to intend to support for a 4-year lease extension - has ostentatiously screwed the best (i.e. most actually pro-US) NATO members repeatedly. Most amazingly in the case of the Poles and Czechs WRT missile defense.


But not to worry, useless inertial status quo sorts, no new president is going to actually be able to effect much change in anything connected to NATO.
