You have to admit, Fauci is a genius. He weaponized this virus and then got a vaccine that only seems to work with left leaning people. No one on the right can use it to protect themselves. Soon we will be rid of all those on the alt-right thanks to Fauci's genius.
Or We Can Talk About the alt right Solution to Finding the Source

Well that is a lie. The investigation into the source continues both by the CDC and the WHO... Not to mention a hundred other agencies.
Mike Pompeo is a lawyer, not a scientist. His probe was not about finding the origin of Covid-19.
That is another lie. Hunter Biden has a net worth of about a million dollars, and has only made a few million over his life. President Biden has a net worth that is higher, but that is because he saves his money better than his son. The fact is that none of Biden's family has made billions from any source.

I am a darn good computer programmer, especially of the cutting/bleeding edge variety, where it sometimes barely seems like computer programming. I support my family, and do no harm to my community. I may not be the solution to all of America's problems, but I am the cause of none of them.
According to you, you are semi-retired, getting money from a family business created decades before you were born. They pay you money, but do not want you to work for them. What is your contribution to society?
I do work for the business, have for decades. Put my time in now I get to kick back and pretty much work when I want to. I earned it. Now I work part time in spring/summer/fall and not at all in winter because we leave the area.

You don't mean a thing to me, fuucktards.
You fail on a certain level. Sucks to be you. Your best bet is to NOT fuck with a cracker like me, though.
Do so at your own peril.

You aint shit, bitch. No money is coming from tech anytime soon, boy.
You are in a bad way.
I kind of wish there was someone on this forum that knew something about investing, even stupid, wrong things about investing. It would be helpful to focus my mind by correcting insane posts about investing.
Nobody really likes you from either group in case you havent noticed. Change that,....there is still time. Someday you too can possibly be as loved as I am by all if you REALLY work at it.
9 out of 10 of the largest companies by market cap are tech companies. Almost all the growing companies are tech companies. But none of that really matters for me, because most of my income comes from the finance sector, not the tech sector. The problem is not a lack of income, it is where to put the money.
The obvious solution is to invest in my own projects, but that would make those projects too weighted towards me. If I provide both the work, and the financing, I end up owning too much for the rest of the teams to feel comfortable.
The rest of the world is summed up by the old investment saying, "the world is full of dirty shirts, but you have to wear something." Treasurys are paying negative real returns, when target inflation is taken into account. Even foreign bonds with no certainty are paying barely anything. Stocks are clearly overvalued; that is not to say they could not easily double. Gold is a possible hedge against inflation, but is a terrible investment other than that. And besides, gold can fluctuate based on random, unknowable occurrences, remember Cyprus driving down gold prices during the Great Recession.
I don't need a massive upside, but a nice upside would be nice. I want a low risk.
OK, this is going to sound crazy, and I doubt I will do it, but it is something to think about: Matt, have you ever heard of smart contracts? With crypto currency, and distributed ledgers, I can setup a contract with people I do not know that will enforce itself, no need for a judge/arbitrator. Picture a smart contract that is a futures contract on BitCoins. You may rightly say people who think BitCoins are worthless would never invest in such a thing, so only people who think that BitCoins will go up will invest. But say I take the other side of that contract, so I am taking the side that BitCoins will go down. Because no one else is taking that side, I could get paid to take that side. If BitCoins go up, I have it backed with BitCoins, so I do not make or lose anything. If BitCoins go down, I keep my money. So I make a healthy return just about any direction it goes.
It just seems too crazy, so I probably do not want to do it. Also, it could be judged by the SEC to be illegal, which would be very bad.
I just have to keep thinking about all this.

Yeah? What OS do you work on, boy? I happen to run one of them bleeding edge type OSes.
Do tell me more about how you had a hand in it. ( Which I doubt)
So go on and tell now, boy. What's the bleeding edge OS at this point in time, huh?
I already know what it is, let's just see if you do.
Nobody cool enough to be doing this OS would have anything to do with a fucktard such as you, boy.

I can say this here, because I doubt anyone I know in real life will read it: I have too many friends. There are too many people trying to become part of what I am. I was going to simplify down, but then the pandemic came along, and I seem to be a crossroads of different people. I am stuck in projects where all I really do is be the one person everyone knows in person.
If what you say is true, I need to take what I have learned here and apply it to my regular life. But I am not sure that what you say is true. Maybe you are speaking about yourself, and not even realizing it.
As for being loved, I have a family, so, for now, I have that covered. There is some uncertainty, because sometimes wives and children grow to not love a person. That being said, I have no reason to doubt there love is forever right now.
Are you speaking of the tech sector, or the finance sector? Actually, you could be speaking of both, but I think you are talking about 9 out of 10 of the top companies by market cap.
Let's list them all, and see what they sell:
1) Apple = They sell everything from Apple computers to Apple iPhones. They have access to massive amounts of information about their customers from what websites they go to, to what time they wakeup, so they sell their customers information.
2) Saudi Aramco = Not a tech company, so it really does not matter that they sell oil and a few chemical products other than oil. They are also heavily invested in other companies.
3) Microsoft = They sell software, and some cloud computing. Software may not seem like anything to you, but to customers it does seem like something.
4) Amazon = What don't they sell? What they collect is information on all those sales. On top of that, they sell fantastic cloud computing services. Basically, if you want a server, but do not want to worry about investing into the permanent infrastructure of a server, you go to Amazon. On top of the rest, they have a huge streaming service. The top three are probably overpriced, but Amazon may well be right priced.
5) Alphabet = It is basically Google. It sells the people who think they are its customers. It gives free services to people, and then sells those people attention to advertisers. It begins to be like what Matt is talking about and selling nothing concrete, and yet it makes a healthy profit doing what it does. I would like to see them pay dividends, so I would feel that profit is real.
6) Facebook = It sells it customers to advertisers too. Again, I would feel better about them if they paid a dividend.
7) TenCents = Video games in China.
8) Tesla = Cars and batteries in general. Investing in them is investing more in what they will hopefully sell in the future, than what they are selling right now. Whatever they sell in the future, I just cannot imagine it will meet all the hype... But I could be wrong.
9) Alibaba = They are in some ways like a Chinese Amazon. They lean more heavily into wholesale. We are all indirectly customers of their's. I always have the strange feeling there is a way to do what they do, but be a protocol and not a single platform. That would allow even smaller players into the international trade/manufacturing. It is one of those ideas that is just swirling at the moment.
10) TSMC = They make the computer chips in just about everything. They are so successful, it is hard to say they even have a real competitor. They do not design the chips, but they almost always manufacture them. They have been overwhelmed by orders, and there have been shortages of chips which has hurt the car industry.
Not much bleeding edge in operating systems. The real bleeding edge stuff is FPGA's, which do not use operating systems [yet], but the feeder chips usually run Linux. We used to use a lot of BSD, but have switched to Linux. But I would have to say, Unix based operating systems could hardly be called bleeding edge, having been around for 50 years. I can program in just about everything else: Windows, Mac, IOS, Android, etc.
Which OS do you "run"? And what do you mean by "run"? I have met both Torvalds, and RMS, and they are both far to the left of me. You are neither of them.
I did a little work on Linux, but very little. I doubt any of my contributions to the kernel are still there.
20 to 30 years ago, I would tell you there were some amazing bleeding edge OS's coming down the line. These days I think that most people are happy with a boring Unix based OS, and to do their bleeding edge software on top of that. Or even more bleeding edge would be to go without an OS.
You have peeked my interest. What do you consider a bleeding edge OS? I honestly hope you do not disappoint me, but I am kind of expecting it.
One second you are claiming that "no money is coming from tech anytime soon", and the next you are claiming to be big in the tech sector? Really? Bleeding edge is cutting edge technology that requires a lot of resources to keep going. It is not just the newest thing, but the newest thing that is hard to run. While those resources are not necessarily money, they really usually are.

It's a long time since FreeBDS and redhat, brah. The best tech advancement is always free.
There's no products coming from tech producers right now. It makes no sense for their stock to be sky high when they have zero products on the market.
None. I calls it like I sees it.
What can you buy right now and for what price? Hmm?

Yup, I am disappointed. You over promised, and under delivered.

I understand, you got nothing, and that's how it is for the foreseeable future.
Name 1 valid tech product you can buy right now, dud. I tend to know some things I speak about, boy.
I'll wait..for 6 mos/1 yr or more.
