Question: You’ve been in the markets a long time. A U.S. president touts a stock (Dell). Stock goes up. The president’s holdings of that stock increase in value. Is that kosher?@ArthurHoganIII: “Not even a little bit.” pic.twitter.com/R30hNSFpkK

Well said by Art Hogan, understated but precise. There is not a problem of ethics but that the whole system is rottified– to the extent that the infinitely deadly nuclear waste is being recycled (which is still not scientifically possible) to power Data Centers that are not even needed (what is the deal with Zero Hedge’s love of pro nuclear propaganda? Ah, the libertarianism vs common sense environmental sanity, but since environmentalism was coopted by Al Gore the whole concept of Environmental Ethics can be dismissed as naive) as there are now new super AI computers that can run on barely any electricity and make the monster Centers redundant and wasteful. That’s just one example, but financially speaking we live in Permanent Oligarchy (PO) and putrid rottification of moral decay and zombified reality.
*(OK that was a very pretentious and ridiculous comment but I just had to let off some steam). Thanks!
