Oh, trust me. You ARE in front of the freight train.
Our economy has essentially become state run. The fed can dictate direction now that everybody is either drowning in debt or worried about their cash stash being devalued drastically.
My point of view is about the only way to position is to own cash producing assets that can adjust to inflationary pressure (eg equities or reits).

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)The question to ask isn’t whether Americans are left behind, it’s whether Americans who wanted to leave are left behind.
The first data point is mere propaganda. The second is a tragedy.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I can’t ever tell how much of this sort of stuff is merely promo for the latest film. That kind of news coverage is a sneaky way of promoting films all too often these days.
The Ross story sounds pretty typical of a person who probably didn’t know the value of what he had done and the following that he had. The fact that my daughter, at 16, knows who Ross is has to to be a testament to the ongoing enterprise built in his name, and to the man himself.
However, that people are greedy when they have control is nothing new. Ask Zimbardo.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)It has been a while since I read the book by the WSJ guy who exposed this whole sham, but I’m quite sure that the product (“Edison”) itself was only marginally used for a few tests, but that other tests were done by using “industry standard” equipment highly modified to use small sample sizes (remember, the whole schtick was that they could do labs from finger prick blook drops). Those tests were statistically unreliable.
So, regardless of whether it was with her own product, or simply as a testing provider, she perpetrated a fraud of epic proportions that put lives in danger.
The real question on my grievance is whether she has successfully destroyed all of the testing data. Last time I saw, it was inaccessible due to password self destruct. That, my friends, is brilliance on the defendant’s part.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)GR, I agree with you on the investor side. It’s hard to feel sorry for investors who didn’t do their due diligence.
Where I think she needs to be buried is on the product side. She endangered tens of thousands of lives to keep alive a fraudulent narrative. That alone deserves jail time.
If she had been making emoji software I’m with you. But she was hawking medical diagnostics and actually selling diagnostics that were inaccurate.
I for one think she is evil. It’s an interesting case study in how a young person can develop such a personality so quickly.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Doddering old fella. It’s really more sad than anything. He finally gets the job he always wanted and isn’t there to actually do the work.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)My prediction for Biden’s next speech: “The buck stops right here at this podium…and let me remind you about my predecessor, who stood…right here, at this podium. It’s his fault.”

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)What’s the over-under on Biden’s next unscripted interview?
I’m guessing November at the earliest. That gives the press long enough to build him back better in the eyes of the easily deceived.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)7 wins? I just don’t think we have the leadership / maturity to do that. Shaw has surprised me in the past, but I think we have been on a long trend of growing softer and softer.
I can definitely see us beating Vandy, but can also see it as a trap game after having to pound on USC, then travel and play an SEC team that will not be a pushover.
If we set a plodding offensive pace, I can easily see us slipping below 5 games. We are going to have to keep pace.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I added the board to the forum page. Give it a shot.
Also added what my uninformed prediction is for the season: Hint…it isn’t great.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I take a keen interest in stanford football, but got tired of the boards when being “honest” was considered a recruiting liability.
I will also say that David Shaw has made football less exciting over the past few years. That probably colors my POV on engaging much online.
