Who the fuck invest in something with a 95% failure rate?How do i get this free money
>>61212107i work in corporate finance at a big jewish company you've definitely heard of. we are spending millions of dollars on yet another 'finance transformation' project that will 'streamline' financial processes. the latest talk is that we are likely going to slap a another band aid on to our deep 8 figure SAP implementation and buy a SaaS scam product to help with forecasting (anaplan) because competing companies are doing it. whether or not we actually do this depends on the outcome of the 7-8 figures we are spending on the consulting surrounding this transformation project.
>>61212107This post reminded me of the fact that I worked for a US tech company for 6 years and the only thing we did in that whole time is a video game which sold less than 1k copies on steam, and our operational costs are like a million dollars
>all consumers buy products with credit cards>companies report big profit>stock goes up>employees get fake paychecks>consumers default on the credit cards>"oh well">magic money cycle continuesyou can just make an entire economy up and never produce or sell anything with any real money but the digital numbers on the screen will go up and let you buy big fat california ocean front properties
From what I have seen corporate managers and leadership, the whole business of it, is a straight up scam. None of their theories work and they just are an excuse to pump money into it, making them sound important throwing around big fancy words on concepts that are ultitmately retarded.
>>61212107>>61212329Look, you guys need to just accept the new paradigm that number only ever goes up. OKAY?
I created a program called “hr killer” that I sold to a Fortune 500 company that never used it. Instead they binned my creation and made me sign a NDA and giving away my patent. They don’t want innovation.They want it all to decay and rot.
>>61212348>government prints new money for EBT and stimulus>people use that to order junk food from appcompany books it as “record revenue growth”>investors see line go up, pump stockexecs cash out options, buy housesengineers get RSUs>drivers still making below minimum after gasinflation eats everyone’s gains>company still unprofitable but “valued” at billions>number go up
>>61212365Yes. Number go up. That's all you need to understand.
They'll keep these bread and circuses going until China and Russia force a rugpull in 2027 by invading Taiwan and the Baltic's. Then it will all crash to zero after it turns out we wasted decades and trillions of dollars on stupid bullshit instead of preparing for WW3.
>>61212376You're in for a rude awakening when number only goes up.
>>61212381Fucking retard, remember that as you're getting turned to hamburger by machine guns in WW3.
>>61212388>machine guns in WW3not a single machine gun will be used in WW3. Just tiny drones flying through your key hole or under your door that navigate your house perfectly and find you to shoot right into your neck. Numbers go up produced this innovation.
>>61212398And numbers going up will continue to produce innovations.
>>61212404true
>>61212404Innovation in coomtech not weapons. Thats for china not amerilard.
>>61212418All you doomers make me laugh with your wacky conspiracy theories that number will go down, or will ever stop going up.Do you not realise that the entire financial system of the world is predicated on the idea that number keeps going up?There are actual experts in charge of maintaining the financial system of the world, and they're not about to let bad thing happen.
>>61212107Wow that’s awesome dude I almost read all of that lmao NOT
>>61212440Bad thing happen in 07/08
>>61212486Yes, and those who were in charge then are still in charge today, they're not about to let bad thing happen again. They learnt their lesson.
>>61212492heh
>>61212492I'm glad we cleared that up, but what about bad cough thing 2020
>>61212107great words didnt read please kys
>>61212535Look, it doesn't matter. The World Economic Fund is going to make sure that number only ever goes up.
>>61212444>>61212659>anything longer than a TikTok reel is too longGood thing you Zoomies won't breed anyway!
>>61212107The american economy relies on foreign baggies pumping US assets by financing mutt spending through a massive current account deficit. Once the dollar is not attractive the US will become something akin to Brazil as all skills have being outsourced elsewhere for 50 years
>>61212107I'm 41, in 2008 I was a technical manager for one of the major banks. I shit you not, I was sitting there having to schedule consultant provided counselor sessions with boomer employees who lost everything. Meanwhile, my boss raked in a 125k bonus, his boss close to 300k, and then literally just double to quadruple it all the way up to the C suite. I don't know what the answer is, but I can tell you all from personal experience taxing rich people equates to layoffs, you didn't really think Shekelstein ever has to cut back did you?
>>61212107I can't wait for AI to destroy the tech industry
>>61212107>AI bubble pop is going to absolutely wreck this countryYou're right.
>>61212376USA needs to rugpull the rugpull by defaulting on the national debt, catching the whole world with their pants down
>>61212113The trick is to buy the bags early / cheap, then offload to someone else in later rounds, or IPO and dump on retail.
>>61212535Nothing happened except number down for a bit then up even faster
>>61212440Good luck trying to print your way out of WW3, you FUCKING RETARD.
>>61214158Look, maybe once upon a time there was a risk that number would eventually go down, but since bitcoin that risk doesn't exist. The math that bitcoin mining does that no one understands actually means that number will go up forever.
>>61212864Yup. Great video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbL7yZCF-6Q
>>61212107It's been like this since Gen X started their careers Anon, back 30 years.The boomers started outsourcing work, importing illegals and setting up ABC123 companies to use for fraud and exploitation, at this time the school systems were pumping out a millennial army of scammers, frauds and consultants.The country is indeed fucked, but that shouldn't discourage you from living life anon.Just know the lazy, sinful and wicked will taste bitterness in their end days. Promise.
I don't care. As long as my stock goes up and I get out in time, everyone can have fun desu lol
>>61214217You’re over 20% of the posts in this thread. How many times do you reread your posts, you self obsessed dork
>>61214751I have auto-refresh on and it comes up a little red exclamation mark when someone replies.
>>61214612>The lazy, sinful, and wicked will taste bitterness in their end daysThey will not taste bitterness. They will feel accomplished and satisfied. You want them to be punished for their "wicked ways", but in truth they won and accomplished everything they set out to do. "Don't worry, they'll suffer" is a delusional baggie mentality.
>>61214612Bitch scamming a baggie is not even murder or some shit wtf
>>61212107>>the White guys on the team who actually keep things running are the lowest paid (seniors making junior pay)>>women or minority "engineers" who can't do anything without help, with the least experience, are the highest paidThe white guys are usually the DEI hires and it's the minorities (mostly asians) that keep things running
>>61212350...did they ever tell you why they didn't want to use it? did they even test it out? or did they realise that HR would just sue them for something frivolous if they tried to sack the entire dept?What year was this? they might have been too afraid to do it, back when Comrade Obama or Biden's handlers were running the country, cuz of DIE, i bet all their dieversity hires were thrown into HR so they couldn't dumpster them.
>>61212398signal jammers will cuck those drones, and if they give the micro-drones functional AI, static fields will protect you.
>>61212743i would have agreed with you in the past, but trumps brought a crazy amount of investment back into the US, how much of that is wasted money that will go nowhere? hard to say, probably half of it will wind up being spent on projects that simply aren't profitable enough to be worth the effort.
I’m a fan of number-go-up anon. I think he might be onto something
>>61214974>The white guys are usually the DEI hires and it's the minorities (mostly asians) that keep things runningAs someone who has watched 5 Indians spend 2 months trying to figure out a MySQL GUI client, that's a nice fantasy world you live in.
>>61214974lol no lmao it’s whites
cantillon talked about this 200+ years agoit ends with everybody being destitute
>>61212440ever heard of murphy's law you fucking dumbass?
>>61215152number go up, then number go up fast, then number go up even faster, then it go down faster and longer than anyone can possibly imagine
>>61212376>RussiaLmao Russia is a shithole with the same size economy as Italy. They won’t be doing shit.
>>61212107It's not sustainable, everything is fake.>AI stocks now account for roughly 44% of the S&P 500 market capitalisation, with AI-impacted companies extending beyond the technology sector.https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/bank-overground/2025/all-chips-in-ai-related-asset-valuations-financial-stability-consequences
>>61212890Hey, you will like this graph, because that's exactly what you describe.EXCEPT IPO are actually kinda dead these days, so you can't really dump your bags to retails buying stonks. So what do you do when you're a venture capital? You invent new terms like "GP-Led" and "Sponsors-to-sponsors". Basically, you dump give your share to another venture capital fund. And since IPOs are no more, you repackage that shit into "Private Equity" that bankers gladly sell to retail. In a very 2008 way.This is exactly what happens when you have the equivalent of a liquidity crisis. This is what is happening right now, and it tells you in bigass glowing letters that it's the end of a cycle.But don't expect AI-bullards to understand that. Nor do they know about that, they just see "line go up!". Their LLM doesn't know about it either, nor would it interpret it in the right way even if it knew.
