On par with inciting class warfare by invading and harassing poor neighborhoods and then going, "They had illegals!"

You can't tell me your market chances arent 50/50 if you decide VIX calls or puts at par today. Pick it and yolo This is questionable financial advice.

Funny thing about the internet, we can call people out on their bullshit because facts. From 2000 to 2023, Texas had more weather related power outages than any other state. 2023 saw 500k people without power due to winter storms in Jan and Mar. Given the degree of climate denialists in their legislature and hatred of clean energy, it's safe to assume that TX won't be able to stay on par with whatever TF Mother Nature intends to throw at them in the next 10 yrs. TX wants more nuclear btw while 2/3 of CA is powered by solar energy. Wonder which state is more fkd when there's another catastrophic weather event.

Everyone. All that did was hurt the other manufacturers who were dipping their toes trying to get a piece of that sweet EV market, but now their only selling point (tax credit) is being torn away. Tesla is still eons ahead of any other car manufacturer in the EV space in quality and technology. Now everyone who wants an EV will go to Tesla for the quality alone. There’s no reason for the others to try and compete anymore. Their precious tax credit - the one thing they were banking on to sell their sub par vehicles - has now vanished. TSLA 🚀

It's definitely a YMMV thing. I feel Target is in this weird spot where it peaked in 2010s under the: * Middle-upper class aspiring poors shopping for an aesthetic that punches above their class * Umm we're not like those Walmart trash * Decent higher-quality-at-relatively-same price and better designed fancy home goods n clothing (more farm2table, live laugh love signs, that slop) * We aren't Amazon! The retail experience is better! Unfortunately, all those have kinda blown up in various ways. Our Targets are not quite as trashy as Walmarts in Alabama but they're definitely highly degraded from the 2015 with increasingly barren shelves, disheaveled shelves, a who gives a fuck attitude. Walmart here has actually cleaned up their act but still not great. I would put them roughly on par now. Not nearly as many shoppers these days as back in 2018. There's now only like 1-2 checkout stations manned out of the battery of 20+ cashier stations that they could have staffed. It's actually sort of sad how big the checkout area is and only like 2 have been active in the last 4 years. Lines are mixed because of how poorly staffed the store is. On other things, quality has tanked so fucking hard that even the Beckys I know go elsewhere now. Costco or even fucking Walmart has much better quality clothes. Prices are through the wazoo and much cheaper than clicking "buy now" on Amazon. The actual Target experience itself feels like shit when it used to be more fun. And yeah discretionary spending for the plebs or aspiring-upward plebs has been collapsing in on itself. To me, its at a price where it's a no brainer to hold equities because there's enough book value and it's not going anywhere*, but I wouldn't be playing derivatives because that's highly finicky to news and sentiment.

Opening the TPUs always was NVidia black swan. They are on par and often somewhat better than anything the green giant has. And with Deepmind, they have all the vertical integration they need to optimize the whole pipeline.

Par for the course
