**Subject:** URGENT & EXCLUSIVE – Billion-Dollar Opportunity (Limited Time!) Dear Esteemed Partner, Greetings from my private jet—gold-plated, by the way, very classy, very luxurious. You won’t believe the deals I’m working on right now. Huge deals. The best deals. Some say nobody does deals like me. But here’s the thing: I’ve got a **$250 MILLION** windfall—locked up due to ridiculous regulations (the worst regulations, folks, believe me). Crooked politicians and the fake news media don’t want me to access my own money! Can you believe it? Sad! That’s where YOU come in. I need a sharp, loyal American (or very smart foreign friend—I love all countries, especially the ones that pay me) to help me move these funds. For your assistance, I’m offering you **20%**—that’s **$50 MILLION** for doing almost nothing! A lot of people are saying it’s the easiest money they’ve ever made. But first, I need a small **good faith deposit**—just **$1,000** (pocket change, really) to cover “processing fees” (stupid lawyers, very annoying). Wire it to my associate, **Michael Cohen, Esq.** (terrific guy, very trustworthy, went to Harvard—or maybe Yale, who remembers?). ACT FAST—this offer is hotter than my steak at Mar-a-Lago (always well done, by the way, the best way). If you hesitate, you’re a loser. And nobody likes losers. Reply now. This could be the greatest financial decision of your life. Or, you know, don’t—and stay poor. Your choice! Best regards, John Barron. Self-Made Billionaire (Very Rich, Very Smart, Many People Are Saying It’s Unbelievable) Cryptocurrency also accepted. Bitcoin? Fantastic. Ethereum? Tremendous. Dogecoin? Well… I guess, if you insist. But hurry—this deal is yuuuge!

Hi, it's great that you're thinking about it, and talking to your parents about it. And I'm honored that you showed them my post. If it helps, tell them that I'm a Nuclear Engineer, and that I had the highest ACT score in my HS graduating class (ACT is like the SAT). None of that means that I'm any good at stocks or options, but I am good at judging probabilites, and that's what all my trades are. Oh, and I'm 61, about to retire doing this with all our life savings, so I'm not just some doofus on the internet spouting nonsense. I believe in this so much that I tried to get my own Mom to invest in it with LEAPS, but so far she's been hesitant. Like your parents, she's skeptical of stocks, let alone these "new-fangled" options thingies." For her, "investing" was putting her 401(k) in the one Mutual Fund that "the smart guy" at work said was best. (He didn't tell her when to get out. I'm looking at you, Janus Fund.) To your last point, will gold drop drastically? Check out this [5-year chart of gold](https://imgur.com/a/gld-5-year-gnEC2VH). (Using GLD as a proxy for gold, because it is.) Zoom out to the [10-year](https://imgur.com/a/KsmoWN1). And then the [20-year](https://imgur.com/a/bHs49Jf). Do you see any "drastic drops" in there? Are there any periods of time that look troublesome? How about 2022? That was a bad year for the market and for gold. So let's zoon in on it: [2022 GLD vs SPY](https://imgur.com/a/H2lbfFR)

BS. This is all an ACT. He’s just trying to distance himself from TACO.

No-Reaction-9364

The courts, from my knowledge, are not holding up tariffs because that was stayed. They are even only challenging tariffs under the given act. The admin would then just use a different ACT just like the Biden Admin did with loan forgiveness. Constitutionally, Congress has the power to levee tariffs, but there are several acts where Congress has extended that to the president. I have not seen Congress as a whole pushing back on tariffs, at least as in from the scope of the presidents power to use them. Escalation with China is probably the only thing that will impact markets. You don't need global tariffs to have escalation with China. The global tariffs from "liberation day" were the big ask. It was way more than what we want. Part of it was to scare everyone to the negotiating table. The other is psychological to make what we really want to be small and reasonable by comparison. If we started out saying we want a global 10% tariff, people would freak out. After having 50% on everything on many countries, 10% global seems reasonable. Add some higher strategic tariffs like most countries do and that also seems reasonable. I think the biggest volatility is over unless stuff heats up with China. The rest of the world can't replace the American consumer though. As more and more countries make deals with the US, it makes is hard and harder for the remaining countries not to.

I think our momentum guys were a week early. I'm looking for an entry after the GENIUS ACT passes with no amendments

WRL23

I genuinely never understood this argument either. If you really wanted manufacturing to come here you should reduce those taxes AND threaten the companies that don't want to start bringing construction in that there WILL be tariffs... Trying to tell INTEL to build a new mega chip factory while also implementing huge additional costs for them to construct those buildings AND mess with the CHIPS ACT was/is top tier insanity.. So clearly companies are paying behind the scenes for waivers.. else they wouldn't be doing this construction at all. And the tariffs are just a global threat to scheme new resorts and Starlink deals

Bryguy3k

Wolf was on the rocks before CHIPS ACT (which was primarily an Intel bailout program) because they were charging a really high premium for a marginal advantage in a very crowded market. Here is a good summary of the SiC market: https://www.powerelectronicsnews.com/a-quick-comparison-of-silicon-carbide-sic-solutions-across-leading-manufacturers/ Too many players and wolf simply only had a compelling usecase in extreme miniaturization - nearly everybody finds it is simply easier to not live on the bleeding edge of thermal capabilities.

That's not what these books are saying. Being positive, having a positive mindset allows you to see more opportunities. You still need to ACT to get any benefit.  Be negative and strangely, all you seem to notice are the negatives coming into your life.  The positives are still there, your just not seeing them as your focused on the negative all the time.

No, tariffs, in THEORY, can ACT as a tax. Taxes are taxes. I can explain it but I can’t make you understand it.

BREAKING: TRUMP ACCUSES WALMART OF COMMITING A HOSTILE AND POLITICAL ACT FOR RAISING PRICES "Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, “EAT THE TARIFFS,” and not charge valued customers ANYTHING.

Similar to the person I responded to in that "We have negotiated price caps in universal healthcare systems like here in holland". Also "It's centrally negotiated by the ministry of health and cost efficiency studies are also made to determine which drugs are included" I'll grant you that the private sector is trying to undermine the public sector. That's literally the aim of the game for them, to make more profit. But as it stands, we do have the PBS, we do have bulk billing, we do have cheap/free hospital care. My mother in law has been taken to hospital for overnight stays about 3 times in the last year, and hasn't had to pay anything including the ambulance (QLD). I've had to go for back spams and also didn't have to pay. I've been to hospital in the ACT after a car accident, no cost. We certainly need to be vigilant against the concerted effort by the private sector, their lobby groups and lackies, to enshittify our health care system. But the narrative that it is *already destroyed* only feeds their lies that the way to fix it is through the private sector. We should be celebrating and shouting from the rooftops about the good things we have, whilst trying to improve the areas that need it.

jvdlakers

Just because it was printed under Trump doesn’t mean he spent it. The federal reserve wanted cash on the balance sheet in case Covid got worse. 1.4 trillion cash was still on the books when Trump left. Biden spent it with his first ACT.

They diluted 20% in January with ATM which HELPED the shorts but was necessary for the CHIPS ACT money. If THEY get the CHIPS act money, the 20% dilution is gobbled up by the value increase of 750m extra money. You just pull numbers out of your asa without any proof lol

Now she’s a lab tech and just filters plasma out of blood all day. Married, comfortable, about to buy a house. But like….she could’ve done anything. And was like “Naw.” I don’t get it.

> but no one can explain to me what the alternative to tariffs is. Is your plan that factories simply continue to be offshored forever? Because that is the alternative. If your goal is to return factory jobs to the U.S. the tariffs are a terrible method to achieve that. It's not like the tariffs were designed to target countries that had the most amount of factory jobs. Most of the tariffs are just retaliatory anyways. Funny enough, Biden's CHIPS and Science ACT had provisions in it to try and return some factory jobs to the U.S. but Trump's administration is dismantling it because it was a Biden piece of work.

BathroomTechnical953

Oh look, a series of epic failures, followed by zero results. Meanwhile, the Republicans lay waste to the country while Chuck Schumer goes on Face the Nation, rubs his hands together gleefully , and says “We’ve got’em right where we want ‘em.” Meanwhile, 40 AIPAC-owned Democrats keep arms flowing to Israel. Mike Levin votes for Larkin-Riley. 10 Democrats Censure Al Green. Fucking 10 Senators LIE to House Democrats on the Continuing Resolution vote, while one of Schumer’s daughters is a lobbyist for Amazon and the other is an executive at Facebook, and Ro Khanna sets the record for most money made on insider trading in 2024. BUT GOLLY, THEY SURE TRIED TO PASS THE DISCLOSE ACT.

The_GASK

The fact that Trump is imposing bans on the sale of NVIDIA chips to China, for a product such as LLMs, that is as far from actual AI as a rock in the Himalaya, is the demonstration that they drank the cool aid from OpenAI and the other tech bros. DARPA projects like VISTA, HUNTER, SWITCHBLADE or RESCHU, that create actual autonomous weapons being deployed today, use cognitive architectures such as ACT-R and SOAR, not some shitty LLM. This is so cooked. We are forcing the only country in the world with a fully built and maintained space station to innovate outside of our view, instead of competing in the free market, while we now lack the fundamental material and intellectual resources to build our own.

rosstafarien

Powell and Biden did rock star level performance on post-COVID relief inflation. Trump put his name on two trillion in cash injected into the economy (2020 CARES ACT, look it up). Even if Biden was asleep the entire time, an excellent policy wonk ran it for him. Successful delegation to the right person is success for the administration. Trump thinks he's the smartest person in the room when he's actually an intellectual infant who has surrounded himself with people who focus on flattering him and clapping while the country burns.

This could be the civil war triggering event. If the world dumps US treasuries, I doubt most Americans understand the impact that would have to their way of life. Also, could be taken as an act of war if just one country (like China) did it. A lot tougher to respond militarily if it is a number of countries. ACT II begins…

The market fell after an enormous stimulus package pumped the shit out of it. The constant talk of recession that never happened. Joe Biden passed an infrastructure bill, Inflation Reduction and CHIPS ACT and brought jobs back. Trump was a damned disaster for this country and still is. I’ll never forgive him for lying about Covid and these stupid miracle cures. Two men in my family died because they took them instead of going to a hospital.

sissasassafrastic

This is a great idea too. 😎 But you will need to do more groundwork or research as to what you want. E.g., solid hardwood or engineered hardwood frame (if wood at all), frame thickness, wood frame joinery (mortise & tenon is usually strongest), suspension type (eight-way hand-tied springs, Intes webbing, Pirelli rubber webbing?), seat cushion foam density (choose 2.5 lbs. and greater only), ILD/IFD values of seat cushions, residential or contract-grade upholstery, etc. Upholstery is tricky because contract-grade fabrics exist, but these can have a scratchy or harsh "hand" (feel against the skin). Longer-lasting fabrics tend to be Association for Contract Textiles (ACT) certified. The ACT Physical Properties category stipulates minimum performance values for pilling, breaking strength, and seam slippage which many residential-grade fabrics don't meet. You'll need to go through a fabric wholesaler for ACT fabrics. Mayer Fabrics offers loads of filtering options and information for each product.

FlatEvent2597

China putting the screws to Navarro's tariff plan. lol His plan basically shows tariffs working ...but it has a major flaw. It will work in a vacuum only. It counts on all other variables staying the same. Countries accepting the tariffs without retribution or trade moves. IF the countries being tariffed ACT: either counter (China) OR boycott US goods (Canada, France, Germany etc... ) the plan falls apart quickly. So in a way, America creates the chaos - but has a certain expectation. But the world counters with their own chaos...countering US expectations. In the meantime, hopefully the GOP rises up to take some control and do what they were elected for -in tandem with the Dem's.

CoincadeFL

The definition of insanity is to same thing again hoping for different results. We did this exact thing in 1930 with Smoot-Halley ACT. That lowered trade out of the U.S. and into it further elongating the Great Depression. We are headed to something even bigger than 2008, maybe as big as the Great Depression. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot–Hawley_Tariff_Act

Also early 40s. It is stressing me out (I generally don’t ACT on the panic though). I just worry about a potential long recovery in my retirement account.

it would be nice to see more democrats use it, but they also don't have the entire media landscape pushing their agenda either. where are all the DC think tanks pushing "no new taxes" on all these tariffs? why ins't rogan and tim pool talking about all these trump tariffs? even biden's INFLATION REDUCTION ACT seemed whispered.

The big boy government contractors LDOS, LMT, NOC, UNH, etc all have multiple contracts across many different business segments. The ones you want are the ones that have VA contracts the veteran population is always rising and a mass amount have claimed benefits due to the PACT ACT. In addition privatization of the VA is always increasing. Just wait until the Post Office is dissolved, you'll be pissed you didn't buy UPS.

MuddVader

From my basic uninformed understanding, there has been a movement for a while to bring some aspects of manufacturing to/back to the US for years now, like the CHIPS ACT, but the primary problem is this regime's intent on violently pivoting.. Well... Everything. I would assume that building all of the infrastructure to replace all of what was once imported would take years, and at that point, we SHOULD have an actual President again, which might discourage some of the players from shifting to ALL US products and instead just try to ride the storm through the night and hope for a brighter tomorrow. Imagine spending 100's of millions/billions to relocate your facilities, and then it's suddenly massively cheaper to operate overseas again. These companies would have to have a lot of faith that this country is going to STAY under the command of the Republican party for the foreseeable future, and that's far from certain. Idunno.

EO is called "Stocks only goes up" ACT.

Airhostnyc

Yes that was induced we locked down in March. Unemployment increased sharply due to the imposed shut downs and the stock market reacted accordingly. And at the point because it was planned there was no threat of a Great Depression because the cares ACT was passed in March directly after the lockdown. They started easing lockdowns soon after that. By June I was back to work as an essential worker however my state was still on lockdown while red states were easing limitations. I mean I can go and on about details we already know. But this is completely different from the Great Depression which happened over a period of time But my point was Covid was a flash crash it wasn’t a symptom of larger economic issues that plagued bigger recessionary periods. The economy was figuring itself out once people were allowed to go back outside. Combined with the relief from government stimulus. Then they messed up and proceeded to pass another stimulus with record low interest for the cherry on top to be where we are with inflation.

jj2009128

Let's put aside the merit of the ACT for a second. The ACT passed with bipartisan support 2 years ago. That means Congress thought it was beneficial to the US in the long run. 2 years later Republican Congressmen have changed their mind? How can any company invest in the US long term not knowing what the government is going to do from year to year?

SINGULARITY_NOT_NEAR

NOBODY WILL EVER SEE THIS and NO ONE WILL EVER CARE, but LET ME TELL YOU ALL MY STORY. Back in 2017, Paul Ryan and some of his friends wrote the "TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT of 2017" which was a very thinly veiled attempt to GIVE AMERICAN BUSINESSES TAXPAYER MONEY RIGHT NOW (2017), while promising to take the money back from the Middle Class. in the future. During the months of August September of 2017, the stock market was experiencing RUNAWAY GROWTH because all of these businesses, almost every single one of them to a one, were doing STOCK BUYBACKS with the extra money they got, to increase their apparent share price. This runaway growth had the market ramping up at almost 40 or 50 percent , which is HIGHER than the maximum USURIOUS rate of a CREDIT CARD. That means, any Tom Dick or Harry would be able to (a) open up a Line Of Credit on a credit card or HELOC or something. (b) POUR the money in to the stock market (c) Watch it grow. And then, eventually (d) re-pay the HELOC or the credit line. THE BANKS contacted Man-Go-Chee-to and told him, THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. THAT is when he came up with the brilliant invention of the TARIFF MAN. Something that the PRESIDENT, and only the President could do, to "cool down" the equity markets. === === ===== And sure enough, EVERY SINGLE TIME the SPY went above 290 in 2018, the guy would announce NEW TARIFFS on China, Aluminium, Steel, you name it. I was in here in WallStreetBets EVERY FUCKING DAY screaming about this and trying to point it out to people, until my alts all got kicked and I got perma-banned from Reddit. Now, he's doing it AGAIN.

blackdog543

The problem is that cutting this many jobs in govt. AND giving a tax cut, is going to give us the same deficit Trump had in his first term (about 4 Trillion) not including Covid CARES ACT/PPP free money. Yes, when/IF we go into a big recession, people will lose jobs, they'll stop paying their mortgages, and it's 2008 all over again. Hundreds of regional banks will go bust. The really bad news is we're so broke, we won't be able to "spend-out-way-out" like Obama did to save the country in 2009. BTW, 60% of the Dept. Education expenditures are student loans to poor kids. Welcome to the dumbing down of America.

Imperce110

The Biden-Harris Administration announced on April 8, 2021, that the U.S. Department of Commerce and TSMC Arizona Corporation (TSMC Arizona), a subsidiary of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC), have signed a non-binding preliminary memorandum of terms (PMT) to provide up to $6.6 billion in direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act. There were negotiations with TSMC before the CHIPS ACT was finalised that was contingent on the subsidies. https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2024/04/biden-harris-administration-announces-preliminary-terms-tsmc-expanded

Imperce110

Can Intel make the same chips as TSMC? And do you feel that the CHIPS ACT had no impact with their subsidies on the second TSMC fab being built in Arizona, given the second fab was started in December 2022, while the CHIPS ACT was passed in July 2022? Also, if TSMC produces from Intel fabs, have they atated to what standards of microchip they will produce?

Imperce110

The TSMC Arizona fab facility is still the most advanced chip fabrication plant in the US, which still feels like the CHIPS ACT still made progress with advancing the manufacturing of microchips in the US. Taiwan and TSMC keeps their most advanced chips a tightly held secret for their national security. Even if there were tariffs, is there anywhere else that their most advanced chips could be produced or substituted for? Tariffs mainly work when there's a domestic substitute, right?

The CHIPS ACT has currently brought zero firms to the US. The first outlay of those funds was announced on Nov 2024. And this is is the same policy Taiwan operates under. Up to this year, No foreign companies could run chip businesses within Taiwan and TSMC had to produce all their "next gen' chips within Taiwan. Chips produced outside had to be a generation or two behind.

Irwin Simon has a current SPAC he sponsored, called GP-ACT III Acquisition. While it's not clear that this has anything to do with cannabis, one of the ownership disclosures was from MMCAP. They were an early hedge fund throwing around [millions of dollars in the cannabis industry](https://financialpost.com/cannabis/how-a-handful-of-hedge-funds-cornered-cannabis-financing-and-made-a-killing-in-the-process). >Over the past four years, MMCap has been the leading player in what numerous industry insiders say has been the biggest untold story of the cannabis sector’s emergence: How a handful of hedge funds have used a sophisticated financial playbook to essentially recycle capital through multiple companies and deals, funding wide swathes of the sector in the process. MMCAP was a significant[ investor in MedMen](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1304857/000156761921007478/doc1.htm) during the period where Irwin Simon [bought their debt](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1304857/000106299322002560/formsc13ga.htm). MMCAP was also in a legal dispute during this same time period with SOL Global, surrounding their [large stake in Verano Holdings](https://www.greenmarketreport.com/mmcap-wins-first-legal-round-with-sol-global-over-verano-shares/). SOL Global were the Aphria insiders associated with the short report that led to Irwin Simon taking over. They were also early investors in companies such as Fyllo, CityRow, Wesana Health, and TYSON 2.0. All four of these SOL Global companies were also early investments by a fund called K2. Irwin Simon's SPAC just filed another ownership disclosure by HGC Investment Management, whose founder came from [15 years at K2](https://www.hgcinvest.com/team).
