It’s kinda relevant if we’re going to make a big deal out of this. Otherwise, it doesn’t seem like something the average voter should be paying attention to given the fact that they’re literally shooting people in the streets.

How much money do you think the average taxpayer is losing here?

Ok. But no one is losing money. I guess that’s my point.

Ok. So, Elon gives a kid some SpaceX stock that the kid doesn’t pay for. That helps prop up the stock value. The kid holds it for five years and the stock value eventually craters. The kid eventually sells the stock that was initially valued at $160 for $5. How much money did the kid lose?

I think you’re confusing “corruption” with “scam.” You will not lose money by participating in these accounts. Not financial advice, obviously.

I don’t know what to say other than that’s not how any of this works. You can’t pump and dump the S&P 500.

By vastly overpaying for groceries at my local Kroger affiliate, I accumulate fuel points that let me save $10 on a 16 gallon tank of gasoline. So really, I’m scamming *them.*

This is the definition of a scam. Who is being scammed out of their money by participating here?

Holy Boulder Roller @vivasisyphus.bsky.social · 12h
So you can buy IVV which tracks the entire S&P 500 just like SPY does. You think the scam is that people have to invest in a broad based ETF that tracks the entire stock market and hold that investment for at least 5 years? That’s the scam?

Which index funds? SPY is an index fund. It’s really hard to lose money buying SPY on a 5 year timeline.

This is correct.

Why can you just buy SPY in these accounts for your kids and have them hold it for 50 years? How is that a scam? Who on earth opens one of these accounts for an 8 year old with a <5 year selling horizon??

Get mad if you want, but my point is that you’ve got thousands of followers, and you should take care to know what you’re talking about before getting people worked up over nothing.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Historically? Yes. There haven’t been many recent opportunities, but this is generally how the system has worked historically. No one gets blackballed until the end of a Congress just because they lack a majority.

Genuinely asking - what was the alternative at the time, as you see it?

Holy Boulder Roller @vivasisyphus.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I can get behind all of this, but I’d also like reforms that prevent it from being necessary in the first place. Like, let’s abolish the Senate.

Yes. The refusal of McConnell to even debate the Garland nomination, as well as all the other McConnell interference, was actually a huge deal.

I don’t mean this to sound like a slight, but did you live through the Obama era? The whole reason we’re in this mess with SCOTUS is because nobody checked the legislature’s power.

Like I said before, I think that’s fair, and I’m totally good with it! Grizzly bears just don’t eat that much meat.

Holy Boulder Roller @vivasisyphus.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
But the majority of our diet isn’t meat. We’re invulnerable omnivores, not apex predators.

Holy Boulder Roller @vivasisyphus.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
In what way?

Holy Boulder Roller @vivasisyphus.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
There’s a difference between “nothing eats you” and “apex predator.” Pronghorn antelope have no natural predators, because they’ve outlived the American Cheetah which was the only animal fast enough to catch them. But they are not predators.

Wild. So why bring them up?
000
Holy Boulder Roller @vivasisyphus.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Yeah. But we shot them all in preemptive self defense, not because we wanted to eat big cat borgers. Water buffalo kill lions, too. It doesn’t make them predators.

Which other hominids are there?

Holy Boulder Roller @vivasisyphus.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Humans have been preyed on by big cats for our entire evolutionary history. Still an issue in parts of Africa and Asia with lions, leopards, and tigers.

Holy Boulder Roller @vivasisyphus.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
He is, and I’m sorry to be pedantic. Human beings occupy a mid-level position on the tropic ladder. We’re the dominant species on earth, but we’re not really an apex predator. But, again, this doesn’t undermine the point of the OP which is why there’s no reason to argue about it.
