I bought RH during the pandemic when Scott Galloway's podcast told me to, but I really wish I had bought a lot more.

I think the rumor that the next iPhone will have satellite communication ability is helping. GSAT took off this morning due to that.
It'll have push communication at best. Transmit? Big fucking doubt that iphone will have their phones looking like the bullshit needed for that. The iphone rumor mostly feels like one of those ones that a company lets slip to a terminable intern just to see how people react.

Elizabeth Warren's net worth is in the millions. I wonder though if her net worth was above $50 million if she would have set that bar higher? Say $100 million. These people are always after someone else's money. Ever heard of capital gains tax you commie bitch? What she is advocating for is an unrealized gains tax which for more reasons than I care to write is complete utter bullshit.

It would be more akin to negative interest rates unless I miss my guess. Not that I'm against fucking over Wall Street and their on-going strip-mining of main street, (right after I get my money out, of course) but that seems like it would only fuck over the low and mid level guys as the truly rich guys would have 100 ways to get out of it, just like with every other kind of regulation.

I get it. Supposedly, the super rich aren't drawing any income whatsoever. They are borrowing against their stock. So you could theoretically have a Billionaire not paying tax at all. They just pass the taxes onto their estate when they die.

I would say some sort of common sense approach is warranted, but I don't count on government to have common sense.

My airline stocks sold off badly today, yet I see infectivity rates are half of what they were in states like Florida. So HODLing.
