  • Sure I’ll put my cult hat ontop of my tinfoil one.

    Ryan Cohen is a capitalist with his own self interest. He has it out for Amazon and believes they’re owning a massive section of business and doing it poorly so it’s silly nobody is taking their lunch over and over again. He did it once with chewy, kind of. He had to build that one from the ground up but it’s okay.

    He sees GameStop and eBay as powerful names that he’s gonna try to steal the online gaming market obviously. But he notices the economy is getting bad, new consoles aren’t likely, people probably won’t be building as many PCs in the next few years. It’ll likely be a lot of second hand trading, he wants to create that space and really hammer on the trade in vibe GameStop had for a while. I think he’s going to abandon the brick and mortar stores as they are and become more hobby shop/pick up your online purchase here.

    It’s a pretty good idea, the line goes up, he has a history of exactly that plan and he’s built a fake internet personality to develop a fanboy cult essentially.

    I think if this eBay thing happens things will probably be even more green.









  • A continuation of what has been happening for decades. Other people are just trying to get a piece of their pie. It is nothing new.

    The problem with BRICS is more than half those involved aren’t stable. They’re politically or financially corrupt or worse depend on the West to even function in the first place. Doomed to fail mostly because of the involvement of selfish actors: Russia, SA, India.

    BRICS has more beef with each other than the West half the time. How are India and China going to work together economically when they can’t even settle land disputes? How will BRICS continue when fossil fuels are worthless and half of them are financially empty now? It’s just not realistic.
