I distinctly remember the damage to Korean businesses during this time (sacrificed everything to come to America and start business in dangerous low income ghettos and proceeded to lose it all without the government helping) which seems to be an after thought very much like the businesses damaged by subset of BLM rioters but the difference is the rate and speed of information that distinctly produce a very different state of the collective mind.

The reason 90s were much simpler times were because all we had was the TV, mainstream news media outlets, which we know today as far removed from actual journalism. You could turn it off and read a book or play video games (which also suffer from the curse of connectivity today and makes multiplayer a lot more toxic experience).
This entirely depends on when you were born.

For older people, the 50s and 60s were that. For others slightly older than you, the 80s were that.

For people younger than you, the 2000s were great!
China would be absolutely bonkers not to take advantage of the political landscape in the US right now, which is to be buddy-buddy with China for no better reason than to stick it to the Bad Orange Man and his followers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the hypothesis that if there are enough people holding (clearing price + X), you can trigger a cascading buying frenzy (the short squeeze) as those who are clearly underwater and/or margin called try to get out at ever increasing prices? And while the little guy narrative gets everyone in the feels, undoubtedly there are some Big Swinging D**s on Wall St who are also hodling to inflict financial ruin upon their competition. There are a few billionaires who've shown up to the party, after all.

This is utterly incorrect. Indian press freedom itself dropped to 142, down from 136 in 2016.

It is a known fact that a majority of Indian channels are now completely beholden to the government.

Finally - the laws in question include a clause that prohibits access to courts for anyone with a dispute. Even people not affected by the laws are not allowed to bring a public interest suit to the courts.

The Indian courts are slow and bad. The Indian farm sector needs reform.

These are not those reforms, and this governments track record on execution of complex economics is terrifying.

That's the funny thing, that's not what's happening. It would make sense for those companies to declare bankruptcy in these scenarios. Instead, these short seller companies are being propped up by even bigger companies and the entire financial press is pushing FUD propaganda to convince normal people to sell.

My family has a history of alcohol use. The group pressure was only in college though.

I think I experience a lot of stress. I always wanted to change the world growing up, and in the last ten years (I am 36 now) I really learned a lot about how awful some aspects of the world are. I am a deep empath so I have a hard time feeling okay when I know others are suffering. And with the US economy putting the poor at such a disadvantage, I feel pretty unhappy about that stuff all the time. I am in therapy and have been for 8 years, but I still just think a lot of stuff sucks and I can't really ignore that. Just think of the 2 million people in prison in the US. That system needs to change, and it's very easy to learn about that and struggle to not feel okay on the day to day because of that knowledge.

However, marijuana helps, and is part of my coping strategy. Along with time outdoors and a lot of creative endeavors.

I also really hate working for other people, so I am always trying to start startups or something. I don't like working a regular job. But this means that even though I have high value skills, I'm always experiencing some financial stress due to my desire for independence.

I am not trying to say my work accomplishments are caused by my marijuana use, but that one can use marijuana daily and still accomplish great things. I do well despite my marijuana use. Possibly because of it, but that would be harder to prove.

To me, marijuana seems fine. I don't want to do it forever. I am finally in a good place in my career where I am doing what I want. We still have to get through the "trough of disillusionment" on our project and I suspect there will be a lot of stress for some time, but hopefully we will get more traction and the stress will die down and the pandemic will end and I can find other ways to feel okay without vaping every day.

But for now, I'm okay with it.
this happened to smaller/mid size company as well.

a long time ago i work for a mid size company with a small division that sell specialized software build with Delphi.

its a desktop app. when i got hired by the company, they outsourced it to Capgemini. after 3 years, they still can't get the app convert to .Net. (that's the goal) by the time i got out the company. they changed to another more local company instead of big outsource firm like Capgemini. they still haven't got it all work out and the new company they hired throw away all the code done by Capgemini. the whole project was estimate to be 2 million by Capgemini.

Realistically, WSB can only rally the general public to pour money into $GME for so long before people get tired of being used to prop up a stock. It will come back down.

Short squeezes are short, temporary events. Even with borrow fees in the range of 30-50% (per year), it's a small price to pay for a short-term play. It's not realistic to expect the general public to continue pouring money into Gamestop stock to keep the price propped up.

Keep in mind that shorts can also exit and re-enter their short positions with high frequency. Not all of the shorting activity is long-term shorting that started <$10

And of course, the original Melvin Capital claims to have exited their original short position. WSB wants us to believe they're lying, but I'm inclined to believe them.

> Well thanks for calling me out as to not knowing who the hell is responsible.

To be fair, you were also partially right. Government departments usually have elected representatives who are officially in charge, so there's someone the public can blame when things like this happen. At least thats true here in Australia and in the UK - I'm not totally sure if it works the same way in the US.

That said, the politicians usually don't get too involved in on-the-ground details like this. They have other things to worry about (like the next election). And the civil servants will usually understand the issues on the ground much better, because they spend their whole career dealing with them. (Unlike politicians who come and go.)

Blaming the politicians involved is like blaming the CEO when bugs happen in software. (Or in this case, when bugs from many years ago are discovered.) Technically yeah, they're ultimately responsible. But the actual mistake was the fault of the people on the ground.

You really nailed it as far as the reasons why I do it.

No No, you are a Sikh, so you will have value when they need to show off that they are a pluralistic country to the west.

I mean the BJP government passed a law that said "we will allow citizenship for minorities who are of all religions, except Tibetans and Muslims" Then in the next breath talk about how this is not targeting a specific religion.

I really do hope people argue the case, because at least for external observers the hypocrisy is clear.

> criticising the central government

Conveniently leaving the truth that those state government which banned beef is same as central government (ruling central government party). People killed on suspicion of storing beef in home refrigerator is also perpetrated by central government party and its members (this is the reason no one got punished or prosecuted for mob killing). Central government has wide powers to initiate investigations and punish local officials as they have constantly done to muzzle political opponents in every state where they are not in power.

> marriage act

There is a reason it’s called Hindu marriage act and it’s very patriarchal with lots of inconsistencies. Not just this, there are many laws in India which needs repeal or reform like laws on sedition’s which are conveniently used by current government to put people in jail without trial trampling basic human rights. For higher courts it’s important to judge what a comedian can say or not say and habeas corpus cases are just kept pending. A minister of central government is outraged and any court takes up the case with utmost urgency, and person languish in jails for years waiting for their habeas corpus plea pending hearing.

The protestors were on a public right-of-way, the sidewalk and street.

Pruneyard and subsequent cases established that as long as private shopping centers encourage the public to freely congregate in a common area at their leisure, that area is treated as a public square and people can engage in speech protected by the state constitution. This activity is limited to the common area of the property, it doesn't apply to areas which may be open for the movement of people. Strip malls and free standing stores are exempt because they don't meet the standard.
I agree that it can help with focus. I learned to do engineering while consuming marijuana by working on personal projects in the evenings at home. I found that in the right setting and with the right dosage marijuana seems to help me achieve a "flow state" of focus. Of course, too much and you'll dash your short term memory and forget what you're working on. Its no silver bullet but I seem to have learned a lot about how to use it by now.

> Who knows what would have happened had RobinHood and others not shut down buying. I'm pretty sure I would have retired.

This is another misconception: Robinhood didn't exactly choose to shut down buying. The extreme volatility required significant extra collateral to be posted, which Robinhood probably didn't have the money for. This is why they had to do an emergency raise of a billion dollars and draw down their credit lines.

Robinhood also makes all accounts margin accounts by default. They try to hide the fact that trades don't settle until T+2 days by making the margin invisible to the end-user, but it still draws down their credit. Robinhood Instant [transfers] also consume margin while they wait for incoming bank transfers. Without an infinite supply of credit, it just wasn't possible to allow unlimited buying (margin buying in most cases, due to T+2 settling or bank transfer delays) of GME stock.

Congrats on the value of your shares, but I would implore you to come up with an exit strategy. Even /u/DFV has been slowly taking money off the table during this entire run-up.

I've read about 100 explanations about how gamma works for calls and zero for puts.
Aside from all the other answers, it would cost you millions to hire and onboard 146 qualified engineers. A place like Deloitte can drop them on your doorstep with a week's notice. They also have all the product design, strategy, and organization layers required to stand up the equivalent of mid-size enterprise from scratch really quickly and then tear it all back down a year later. I've worked in this business for smaller agencies and we could absolutely work miracles for stodgy organizations. My biggest account probably took in $20M all told and I'd say we earned every penny and launched a really successful product really quickly. Failures can happen too and they're usually a lot more complicated than just incompetent developers. It's just as likely the client is unable to articulate need accurately and corners get cut.
> In reality, each short creates a synthetic long, so there are always more long positions than short positions.

I feel like this should have led to more interesting problems already.

Like, suppose there is a company which is going down the drain and two of its competitors are willing to pay a few peanuts for its carcass and nobody else wants it at all. It's e.g. 50% shorted, so they each end up buying 51% of the company because 102% is less than 150%. What happens now?

> They're not accounting for (or deliberately ignoring) the fact that new short positions can be initiated at $360 which will be profitable when the stock inevitably falls.

That's still a risky bet given the amount of media coverage this story is getting. The volatility of that stock right now is absurd. And if it goes high enough, even shorts who got in at a crazy price could get busted by an even crazier price.

> Reddit can't keep the stock high forever with a never-ending stream of buyers.

It's a war of attrition at this point, isn't it?

You have the shorts who would really like to wait until the price crashes before closing their positions, but the higher the price goes the more collateral they need to continue shorting the stock. So they end up having to borrow money from people willing to risk losing it in exchange for (presumably) a high interest rate. If the price gets high enough for them to run out of willing creditors, they go bust and anybody who tried to bail them out loses the money they put in.

On the other side is everybody who is holding the stock and is going to keep hyping it until that happens, because if there is a short squeeze they make a mint but if it crashes first then they end up eating it instead of the shorts.

Anybody who thinks they know who is going to come out on top has a better crystal ball than me.
It is banned but did not permit anyone to kill other people without impunity on suspicion of having dog meat in refrigerator. So may be please get facts right before arguing.

In my field (ETRM) I’ve worked with Deloitte on a couple of occasions. I have seen this sort of nonsense on more than one occasion.

A specific example that comes to mind was a project a few years back where Deloitte stuck 4 junior consultants along with 5 senior consultants and spent a couple million dollars for 12 months and were unable to produce even one business scenario in the system of choice. They did however produce reams of documents showing how it should work. The software vendor was called back onsite and I happened to be in the right place at the right time. A team of 3 of us ended up doing full implementation in 5 months. That included about 20 scenarios from front to back office along with foreign business.
I have been actively trying to distance myself from unnecessary technology, and especially that which is owned and controlled by Big Tech. I now use a "dumbphone". I have begun slowly migrating to ProtonMail. I have already been using Linux as a main OS on desktop. I do still use a Macbook Pro only because the 2015 version I have just won't die (touch wood), but my next laptop purchase would be with the aim of installing Linux (high-end Thinkpad perhaps). I don't use any form of social media, but instead arrange social events through phone calls, texts, and email. None of this has made my life more difficult. On the contrary, I talk to people more often, commit to more social engagements, and feel more in control of my digital life. I highly recommend everybody to at least try some of these things!

I don't necessarily disagree with any of this. But it is besides the point. OP was making generalizations regarding people of "privilege." I respectfully disagree. I feel that you find dishonest people in all walks of life. More importantly, I think this type of prejudice and "demonizing the other" is quite damaging to our society. "Privileged" is such a vague, subjective basket to throw people in. Who's privileged? Anybody who has something (physical or abstract) you don't? Let's attack ideas not people.
