27th amendment states you can't go after their salary or some stupid crap. Can't they just declare that their investments are part of their salary and are now off limits? >Due to the elevated costs associated with requiring congress people to maintain a residence in at least 2 locations, here in DC and back in our home districts, along with rising in other markets, I am proud to sign this legislature. This bill in my hands will save taxpayers over 27 billion dollars in this year alone that it would take to bring their salaries up to what they would have been if it had kept up with inflation. Now, instead of this terrible burden being placed soley on the backs of our working class, the entire market will bear this responsibility. HUZZAH HUZZAHHH HUZZZAAAAAAAAAAAH

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! We also have variable-rate mortages, which a lot of people are forced to take, because they're easier to qualify for. For those who are lucky enough to have a fixed mortgage, the maximum term duration of their interest rate is 5 years, with many being 2 or 3 years. That means that if rates were to increase significantly (as they have in the past 2 years - from 0% effectively, to ~7.25%), when renewal day comes for everyone who bought houses, your payment will go up **Very significantly**. This has been hitting shit tons of people. The vast majority are still in their homes. In addition, prices for everything in the USA are lower than they are in Canada, at a staggering rate, even currency-adjusted. Meaning we not only make less and pay more for houses, but we pay way more for everything in general. Our real-estate values surely would be decreasing, right? I mean come on, we're paying an average of 54% of our income on housing...surely, nobody is buying, right? [Prices are still increasing, indicating that indeed...people are still buying houses, even at astronomically higher cost to purchasing power than in the USA](https://www.bing.com/search?q=median+single+family+home+price+canada+per+year&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&lq=0&pq=median+single+family+home+price+canada+per+year&sc=0-47&sk=&cvid=0AD6139AEAA24F80B6B46B9FA31DE7D7&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&ghpl=) You think you know housing pain? You haven't seen anything. If we can do it, so can you. The ONE caveat - and it's pretty significant - is that we don't have to pay out-of-pocket for healthcare. If we did, our entire economy would have collapsed years ago.

NYC to DC is incredibly built up. As a result, it's nearly impossible to build a rail corridor without bulldozing countless existing homes and businesses.

stickman07738

The real question - how much rail service is used in this region? It probably would have been better to make a high speed corridor for NYC to Washington, DC.

Haha! Elon is like the modern-day PT Barnum. He knows how to get people's attention, and he talks a good game... **The many times Elon Musk made a promise that he didn't keep** Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, is known for his ambitious visions and bold promises. However, there have been instances where some of these promises were not fulfilled. Here are a few examples: * Not buying Twitter unless they get rid of all Spam Bots: Musk signed a deal to buy Twitter. But then he later claimed that he couldn’t move forward with the deal, unless Twitter proves that less than 5% of its users are bots. * The “420 deal” refers to a tweet Elon Musk sent on August 7, 2018, in which he stated that he was considering taking Tesla private at $420 per share and that funding for the transaction had been secured1. This tweet led to a significant controversy because the statement about secured funding was not actually true. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Musk, alleging that he had misled investors. Tesla investors also sued Musk personally over the tweet, claiming that they were defrauded of millions of dollars, as Musk exaggerated the claim that funding was secured. * Self-Driving Cars: Musk’s most consistent promise originated in 2014, when he said people could expect Tesla full self-driving cars within months. The cars still aren’t fully autonomous. So, Musk keeps moving back the target date. * The Cybertruck: Musk went public in 2019 with an electric pickup — a Cybertruck, shaped like a trapezoid and armored like a tank, retailing for $39,900 for an expected 2021 rollout. The vehicle drew more attention when a sledgehammer was used on it without causing a scratch. But the Cybertruck didn’t go into production until 4 years later, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) at $99,990. * The Hyperloop: Musk tweeted on July 20, 2017, that he had received “verbal govt. approval for the Boring Company to build an underground NY-Phil-Balt-DC Hyperloop. NY to DC in 29 minutes.” A Hyperloop between the three cities never materialized. * The Tesla Semi, an all-electric battery-powered Class 8 semi-truck, was unveiled by Tesla in November 2017. After several delays, Tesla finally began deliveries of the Semi in the United States in December 2022. Tesla has built about 70 Tesla Semi electric trucks since they started production in late 2022. However, the expansion of Gigafactory Nevada to build the vehicle in volume has yet to happen. * Flamethrowers for everyone. In December 2017, Musk mentioned that The Boring Company would start selling flamethrowers after they had sold 50,000 hats. The flamethrower, technically called “Not-a-Flamethrower”, was a product of The Boring Company, another venture of Elon Musk. The Boring Company sold 20,000 units of the $500 “Not-A-Flamethrower” machines in just a few days. And then abruptly ended the project. As of now, the flamethrowers are not available for purchase through The Boring Company’s website. Musk also denied rumors that he was creating a zombie apocalypse to generate demand for the flamethrowers. These are just a few examples of Musk’s unconventional approach to business and marketing. For more details, you can refer to articles like "25 Times Elon Musk Didn’t Deliver on His Promises" and "A Long List Of Elon Musk’s Broken Twitter Promises".

TikTok will fight this in DC courts and eventually in the Supreme Court. If they do eventually lose and have to sale the platform it isn’t happening this year. Also, they said that their “algorithm” is a state secret and aren’t willing to part with it. I want to make a play on this too but it’s still too early. We also don’t know if it’s going to be Meta, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, or any number of other potential buyers. So your bet on the buyer being Meta may be off too.

Tesla is still the only company that has a large enough network of DC fast charging. If you try to use EA or EVgo or any other network you're gonna have a bad time. The chargers are often down or blocked because there is only 2-4 of them. Also they tend to charge slow also. Oh and the biggest thing they are fucking expensive as hell compared to the supercharger network. Other companies may have the cars but Tesla has the chargers. I drove my 2014 model S across the USA 5 times last year and never once was I worried about running out of juice or having trouble finding a charger. Over 200k miles and I've only run out once and it was my own fault (it was 0.5 mile from the supercharger too lol)

h4v3anic3d4y

With money from his ownwrship in paypal (which he was forced out of due to incompetence) he bought a huge share of the car company Tesla that was already building EVs based on a Lotus chasis, then pushed them to hire tons of people and rush a product to market by stealing Aston Martin design language, cutting corners on interiors and reliability. He then proceeded to abuse the carbon tax credit system to finance and push more poorly crafted EVs on the market. He didnt invent shit on that front, but he DID sue the founders for the right to call himself co-founder, which is innovative i guess. SpaceX is hoovering up tax-payer money to build a service that is currently monopolizing its market and STILL bleeding money. He learnt alot about rocket engines for interviews, but i have yet to see any proof of any sort of innovation made by him directly, let alone SpaceX as a whole. No, reusable rockets is not new; google the DC-X developed by NASA and Mcdonnel Douglas in 1993. He DID invent a way to anhilate twitters finances though, gotta give him that. And i guess you could say he invented a way of making people believe that reinventing things that already exist takes an extraordinary genius. The emperor hss no clothes my friend, but you wont see it until everybody else does.....

What Morgan said about the DC lobbyists is really important. The lobbyists are professionals who are paid to influence decision making and acquire insider information, and yet here we are in April 2024 and different lobbyists are saying completely different things... **No one knows.** Be wary of any rumors in these final months before the election. People may purposely spread bullish rumors to create exit liquidity for themselves so they are not left holding bags, OR people may purposely spread bearish rumors to enter into positions at a lower price.

Privacy? What in the fuck are you talking about. For nearly an entire decade their Chinese manufacturers were installing backdoor access on every single Iphone via hardware DIRECTLY on the motherboard. Who do you think the DC sniper got his iPhone hacked? The US government bought the hack box they knew China was using to unlock the phone and gain access. The box has a 3 mile range and use AM RADIO to hack the iPhone, fuckong nuts. Even now law enforcement can buy iphone hack boxes right off the internet that takes advantage of how Apple unencrypts data and holds it in the ram right at start up. Samsung KNOX is actually secure. The only way to hack it is with Brite force password guessing, and after so many failed attempts they can't even try anymore. IPhone people are fucking morons.

Imagine Joe Biden not caring about America or the environment what a shocker , but he did take a train from DE to DC over the Francis Scott key bridge before it collapsed!! To this day it’s such an incredible story since Biden is the ONLY PERSON to ever commute by train across the key bridge from DE to DC (must not Made many of those train rides considering in 40 Years before presidency he literally did absolutely nothing to benefit the American people and economy but no one brings this up lol!! It’s really amazing true level the scum bag left has gone recently jsut to keep VOTES! They literally will not do 1 thing they say or 1 thjng for 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸, but if you’re an illegal Biden rolls out the Red carpet for you !

Lol. Comical the scum bag liberals

China was never offered “an opportunity to be U.S ally”, that’s some revisionist history. The sudden deterioration in relationship was the result of Trump’s trade war, then Covid gave China-hawks in DC all the ammo they need to sway public opinions. Even if China is fully democratic, the U.S would still demonize them and treat them as an adversary because we do not allow challenge to our hegemony. It would just be trickier from a public opinion perspective. U.S’s foreign policy is not based on ideology, but interest. Which is why we are ally with Saudi Arabia, and why we are being friendly with the Vietnamese (another dictatorship nation ruled by the communist party) in order to counter China.

Please review their investor day slides. Primary reasons I'm staying away from this for several years: Regulatory 2nd COLA application won't be submitted until late this year, probably next year. While they worked with NRC to update what was lacking in the first submittal (2020), I believe that lack of precedent with light water reactors will significantly delay approval. Probably 2027-28. Infrastructure and Operations They highlight in their risk factors that they could be wildly underestimating the cost to build each reactor facility ($77m with 2 acre plot). These will not be fully automated and will require at least some presence of a highly skilled workforce - counterintuitive to one of their pillars of "rural and remote" areas. The reactor may be innovative and state of the art, but it's generating heat (steam) that spins a turbine and is rectified for immediate DC use or converted for efficient transmission AC. Recycling of used fuel (Uranium) This is a very significant part of their path to profitability and assumes fuel cost can be reduced by 80%. This is an incredibly complex process that they have no plan for processing on-site at the reactor facilities. If it needs to be outsourced, I imagine a pretty large fee would be required if they were to receive back the U/TRU. I understand investor days aren't for this level of detail, but it's a vital component of their business plan, and it's entirely glossed over. Cool concept. Long road full of lessons learned before this is remotely profitable. GL playing the pump on news, but bail if profit is beyond the horizon.

Nobody would have known that it was happening until Biden commanded the HHS do their review.  And nobody is paying that close attention.  They mapped out the process, they figured it is two years from start to finish.  They pulled the trigger in 2022 and now the train arrives when the train arrives.  There is nothing to complain about.  Everybody in DC understands bureaucracy

Next week we got tax free medical marijuana in DC, we got these DEA dates in April, we got the budget of canada possibly lowering excise taxes for cannabis. And like it or not, 4/20 next weekend, also offering media attention. Also the Indian Tribe in North Carolina opening its dispensary. Further taunting the state-federal conclict.

Intel always has so much potential and seems to squander it in key areas. On the negative: - they previously sold their ARM-based mobile cpu business to Marvell and refocused on more profitable desktop and server business. ARM continues to eat INTC’s lunch in embedded, mobile, tablet, and now laptop/desktop (Apple M1/2/3 line). - Intel has done quite well with integrated graphics but always struggled to make discrete graphics cards. It was obvious with Project Larabee that Intel wasn’t committed to GPU architecture and tried to repurpose their existing architecture. It was a flop (not Teraflop). It turns out the massively parallel small cores of Nvidia and AMD GPUs is also great for AI and HPC. Intel knows this yet keeps missing the boat - Intel long considered tablets as a novelty and focused on enabling the same old OEMs with laptop and desktop chips. MSFT recognized that consumers wanted better and more portable designs and the Surface and Surface Pro were honest attempts to shake this market up and keep Windows relevant. - The fab. Oh how the fab culture dominated Intel for years and they were so proud of it. The problem came in 10nm which is when Extreme UV (EUV) became necessary to reduce diffraction and thus improve yields. Year after year they kept trying to fight physics. They needed EUV. On the positive side: - intc is focusing on power design. Backside power delivery is awesome and saves as much as 30% of board power. They were super good at transitioning mfg to this process improvement. Kudos - breaking out the fab as a separate biz is key. They need each business to stop pretending that fab is free and the fab needs to stop hiding behind the super profitable server business. Fabs used to cost $5B, now they are $10B+. You need economy of scale and reusable design only possible by making chips for other customers. This process is going to be painful but INTC needs to muscle thru it - silicon photonics continues to be a promising way of reducing DC power consumption and improving cross board data rates thru multi-wavelength data transmission. Promising but still probably too early for widespread adoption - chiplet design is the near future. the design of chips is hard and keeps getting harder and pre-silicon and post-silicon validation is getting exponentially more complex. The next logical step is to break the chips apart and stack them. You get to focus on each chip’s validation and reuse components across various designs. Anywho just my 2 cents.

We want more more more programs & services and no one is going to quietly accept cuts to anything that *they* value - things we don't even think of like [Federal subsidies for rural airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_Air_Service) - all while keeping taxes low by first world standards and our cushy loopholes and deductions intact. Wake the hell up. "DC" is us. We're fat, myopic, hyper-selfish pigs and they're just feeding us what we demand. It's like George Carlin said: > Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. > They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. **If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders.**

Who TF is "DC" and "real America"? The Republican fed chair is not pulling strings for Joe Biden lmao

No_Bank_330

It is not a conspiracy. DC is so out of touch with real America they will push it through just because the election. In their 1970’s minds, they think everyone will listen and believe them.

Let’s say it happens. You find yourself casually cycling around DC at sunrise on CPI day with jpow. You’ve got a natty lite in one hand, a cigarette in your mouth, coasting down empty Pennsylvania Ave, side by side with your #1 fedman. You both look at each other and smile, taking in the sweet, sweet, silence that engulfs remainder of the pre-market hours…..

HHS sent rec on August 29. We are in month 8. I believe decision was imminent in Feb/March but bc of leak or political considerations was delayed till April, second chance month. Because of a treaty loophole, it may be a final rule without comment period which allows them to make up for the delay. Nobody here cares about 4/20, but DC does. Take some THC/CBD for the anxiety and buy something strong like Tier 3’s, single state operators, distressed companies, MSOX, or MSOS calls.

DC city is having a tax holiday for 4/20. There may be larger event stuff happening for publicity. I won't allow myself to believe DEA cares about 420 as a day/symbol.

What source are you referring to? "What's happening in DC?" And who are these "big names heading there this week?"

mr_molecular

Guess I’m out of the loop. What’s happening in Washington DC and why are some of the big names heading there this week?

As of a couple months ago he was being sued by DC for income tax fraud. He claimed he was living in Miami to get a better tax rate. DC found out from a whistleblower in the company.

No, there wasn’t. Prior to the Revenue Act of 1978, which established section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and opened the door to Defined Contribution plans as a retirement saving mechanism, a relatively small proportion of total workers were covered by pensions - for example, in 1960, only 30% of the labor force had a pension plan. The introduction of defined contribution plans provided a lower cost way for employers to give employee access to retirement savings, and served as a direct funnel for that money to the stock market. As of March 2023, 73% of the workforce has access to retirement benefits. And 56% participate. I guess you could propose the notion that prior to 401(k) plans, people saved for retirement in non-tax-advantaged accounts. But I think that angle is pretty thin, given Americans’ low historic saving rate and people’s resistance to or fear of financial markets. Additionally, the Dpt of Labor data shows total assets in DC plans went from essentially nothing in 1980 to more than $9T in 2020. Pensions only climbed to ~$4T. It’s possible the slower growth in pensions is because companies shifted away from them. But I think the explosive growth in DC plans represents more than the growth pensions would have experienced over this time due to increasing access to retirement saving for more people via DC plans. This isn’t to say DC plans are better or that they don’t have risks. Just that the introduction of them increased access to more people and thus increased the overall level of cash flowing to the market.

So the 2025 budgets aren't offering the information we all want right now, but some interesting points: Notable budget requests for 2025: / FDA Foreign Office Expansion This $1 million investment will strengthen FDA’s oversight of imported products by expanding the Agency’s foreign office footprint and deployed personnel. / Expand FDA’s Ability to Disclose and Use Certain Information Related to Impurities in Drugs That Pose a Risk to the Public Health / Require Site Master Files for Drug Manufacturing Facilities SMFs can improve FDA understanding of quality management practices and supply chain management, which will improve overall supply chain resiliency / Expanding Information Disclosure Authorities with States   / Evaluation of Non-Application Drug (finished dosage forms and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) Manufacturers Before Marketing Under this proposal, a manufacturer that intends to distribute a non-application drug in interstate commerce from an establishment for the first time would be required to notify FDA of its intent at least six months prior to its first distribution. A recent focus on firms manufacturing non-application drugs has identified a high rate of non-compliance with current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements, especially when a facility is first inspected. / Require Destruction of Imported Products that Pose a Significant Public Health Risk FDA also believes this authority would increase efficiency when Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seizes an FDA-regulated product. ---> I find this interesting, since it sounds like a loose end which is now a DEA task when seizing marijuana. / Provide the FDA product centers with the timely and definitive toxicity assessments required for informed public-health decisions on substances such as cannabis-derived products, including cannabidiol (CBD), and opioids. / Cannabis-Derived Products such as Cannabidiol (CBD) FDA recognizes the opportunities that cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds have for widespread consumer consumption and potential therapeutic use. However, FDA is aware that some companies are marketing products containing cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds in ways that violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Despite that approval (Epidiolex), much is still unknown about the potential toxicities related to the thousands of cannabis-derived products marketed as foods, beverages, cosmetics, dietary supplements, and products for animals. NCTR is working with the FDA product centers to answer questions about the science, safety, and quality of products containing CBD.. / Chief Scientist Challenge Grants FDA Headquarters established, and now manages and coordinates the review and granting of intramural research award programs that supports four competitive research areas: The scientific areas of the recent projects include nanomaterials, ... AI,..., and surveillance of cannabis-derived products. / DEA 2025 budget narrative Schedule 1 Research Expansion The DEA fully supports opportunities to conduct and expand research with schedule I controlled substances to include marijuana and psilocybin and DC continues to be a vital resource for researchers and scientists. Further focus on protecting forests from illegal grows, and national lands. / Drug Control Policy 2025: Cannabis is mentioned when they are talking about state legal things remaining stable. Marijuana is mentioned when talking about illegal things. / Difference in vocabulary: DEA only mentions "marijuana". FDA mentions "cannabis and cannabis derived products"

It doesn't charge as fast as it should on DC fast charging. Does not have full self driving or autopilot. Failure of a launch.

NVDAismygod

Everyone in DC does it lol

nokittythatsmypotpi3

No shit did I say that? I meant DC in general and considering they’ve had so much sway on prices and never held accountable is what I have a bigger issue with, especially someone like Kashkari who btw bought his way into his non-voting Fed position. Care to have that conversation or no? I think these ppl are ugly inside and out tbh and they make innocuous comments that cause a lot of real ppl significant losses. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Is this stock gonna be like the Trump International hotel in DC? A legal way for foreigners to buy influence with Trump. If so, stock will be supported until Election Day and will spike after a win/tank after a loss. Maybe?

Apple just purchase WBD and create a Dune/LOTR/DC theme park where we can only use Apple Pay. Vision Pro strongly recommended to enjoy the full experience.
