I remember thinking to myself the first time one of youse posted the article about people stocking up on supplies that "come on, we're just prepping for the worst, it won't be anywhere near as bad as we fear".
this is one of those rare times where it exceeded our imaginations.

I did try to short Tesla once, but you couldn't borrow the shares, so I bought a put instead. It took a little dip and I got nervous and sold it for a small profit. Then it dipped more and I felt dumb. Then it bounced higher again and I felt lucky. The nice thing about buying a put is your downside is limited, but unlike shorting, there's a time limit on the bet.

the stock market in general seems to have not absorbed the info that were in the early stages of the worst economic crisis ever
― lagโn, Wednesday, 15 July 2020 13:51 (three years ago) link
tbf neither has pretty much anyone else. even before the pandemic we'd reached a crisis of capital where too many goods were chasing too few dollars, searching the globe for investment opportunities and just inventing them from whole cloth if necessary, and now demand has dropped off a cliff. millions of jobs aren't coming back. we're still running on a short-term stimulus package and furlough supports that will all go away really soon, and the same is true for most of the world. it's a zombie economy and i'm not sure it's too dramatic to say it's a zombie society

Well, six. His first one died as a baby, then he had twins and triplets with his first wife. So his baby with Grimes is his seventh kid, though six survive.
