i mean, would u rather toil all day designing industrial equipment or spend half ur day doing that and half of it fucking around on the internet?

when i go home i have a farmer market LLC, chickens to tend, and house renovations. why kill myself at work when i have more rewarding things to do off the clock?

and about 40k-ish of my posts are from the trading section. aka "bump"


you're awfully defensive about it for someone who tries to pretend to not care.

How far off are you from being able to simply set working for others aside and dedicate your focus to your LLC? That is the ultimate goal, right?

And I get you. When I was working tech jobs half my day was spent reading the news, how-to's on a variety of subjects that had nothing to do with work, etc. So I get it, sort of. Just seems odd. Like, how often do you hear, "If I can sway just one vote, I've done my job!" or "If I can save just one soul, I've done my job!" Wandering into a forum designed for those types to shitpost just seems strange to me.

*shrug*

Somebody scented weakness, decided to move in for the shitposting contest.

I'm confident I could move over now but no security and having a family means it's a risk I don't want to take. Better as a hobby and I'll retire super early

They reopened while their first wave was still in full swing, lol. This doesnt have to mean a lot for other states where the first wave has already abated, like e.g. Texas.

THAT was pretty good. :D


Also, I was glad to hear that Australia stood up to China recently, even though China was pretty harsh in their retaliation.

Well, fully reopening at the moment is idiotic anyway. Mass events like live sports, concerts or clubbing must of course remain banned until a vaccine or effective treatment has been found.
A more gradual reopening, like going back to work, school or outsides-restaurants while maintaining a minimum distance and strict hygiene rules is well possible in places which are past the peak of the wave.

But nice try lumping me together with conspiracy theory lunatics.

No, what crushed your Economy was the current administration's response to it. Trump knew in 2019 and did nothing to prepare - meanwhile, tweeting praise towards China's efforts to contain the virus. Where is your disdain for Trump? It seems like his own inaction has devastated the American Economy - Putin's goal.
