Isn't it remarkable how crypto markets can reach peak idocity? Take 2021 as an excellent example.
- Retail was going 100x leverage on meme coins.
- Scams everywhere 99% of these are still scams.
- Celebrities shilling like there is no tomorrow.
- NFT-mania.
It was the fruit of labors of stupid policy mistakes when COVID happened by the central bankers and governments. Does Stupidy spread like wildfire…?
Is the current stock market at peak idiocy? Everybody is waiting for NVIDIA earnings like it will decide the fate of humanity for the next 25 years. Billionaires like Bezos,Gates, and Zuckerberg are selling… We keep gambling just a quick 3x, and then I am free to quit.
NVIDIA crushed estimates, so the planet is saved for now.
Play stupid games and win silly prizes.
Stupidy often ends in crashes.
In hindsight, it is always easy to laugh that this was obvious since it was stupid. What if your beloved country is going into maximum idiotism mode?
→ You need to be furious and a little bit crazy to protect yourself and your family.
No, I don’t break any laws, and I pay my taxes, I encourage you to grow some balls and protect yourself from idiocity. I know it is fucking hard. Everybody told me for the last ten years that I am an idiot and crazy.
It is way easier stuffing your head up in your ass, pretending everything is fine - Expecting a smart prize?
It may be the right way.
In the end, smirking gives you nothing, just sadness and a feeling of emptiness. “I was right.”
Curious case of Finland
Ah, the good old days back in the Euro crisis when everybody was laughing at Greece at how much idiocy there was (Result, again, of the idiocy of the EU and ECB). Few crazies back then wondered that we were exactly on the same path… Below is more doomporn; in this piece, we are just smirking.
In the current buzz around Finland, there's some debate about the duration of political strikes in Sweden—are they really just 2-3 hours long? [1]
What if we would wonder why Sweden does not have these strikes in the first place?
The divide continues here in Finland. These strikes are extremely bad for business…
Property taxes are on the rise. [2]
Act surprised? This has been planned for over a decade. They will tax more if deficits are so high. This was the most apparent tit for them to suck more out of you.
More taxation: Exit tax, capital gains tax. Wealthy people are moving abroad (Switzerland, Singapore and UAE). [3]
We should ask why they are moving and why nobody with any assets wants to move and invest here. No we must tax more, that is the problem. One Elon Musk and a few more Supercells would fix plenty of problems…
We must build a one-hour train to Turku. Nobody wants it, and nobody needs it. We must make it. [4]
The best way to hide your incompetencies is to build more tracks, high-speed trains, etc. Then we can market how awesome we are! You should be concerned about this point when we adopt playbooks from China. We will be happy when we have more trains and tracks!
We need Kela-Investigators! Kela is a Finnish social insurance institution. [5]
How is it about focusing on trying to uplift everybody out of these subsidies and not creating more bureaucracy and useless government officials?
According to Housing Minister Kai Mykkänen, the current government does not solve problems by pouring money from a bucket. [6] This was in 9.9.2023
Oh, but today, solving problems with taxpayers' money is ok. Housing construction is at a standstill, And the government has increased its support. [7]
How bout supporting us people here and not some government entities?
It would be somewhat acceptable if the news articles I selected spanned a period of, for example, one year, but they are all from just last week…
So What?
I don’t want to move out of here. The divide between the “left” and “right” is getting bigger and bigger. The divide between employers and employees is getting bigger and bigger. The economy is getting shittier and shittier… Please help us, oh mighty government!
Everybody is just whining we need more and more government…
RESPONSIBILITY
Start growing a pair. Stay hard!
