it can always go lower, there are hundreds of reverse split/dilution scam-cos just like DJT that exist solely to siphon $ off of public markets
fucking ...alabama... just voted for a trans canidate, the idea clinton or harris lost because they were woman is nonsense. they lost because they were very obviously establishment stooges. one a career parasite most well-known for not having enough self-respect to leave a cheater, and the other flipflopped on all their big rallying cries within 24hrs. it was immediately noticable when harris was brought back on script...not too mention not having a primary and running a fucking Cheney endorsement at the DNC.
they lost cause they sucked ass and swallow. for the average person, if you have to choose between a corrupt pos smart enough to hide it and someone whose so goddamn proud of their corroption they brag about it...the latter is a known factor and therefor easier to work around.
if you give any $ at all even once before at any level your going to be donor lists for everyone on your side, that's just how this whole system works. only way to curb that would probably be properly publicly funded political campaigns (as various other countries have, canidates get x set amount of $/set % of airtime alotted to them etc.).
and well...in the US, due to the various levels of disenfranchisement, on average for most their national level politics is basically a non-choice. if you live in a state where practically nothing past the local/city level actually matters but you still want to support non-lizard canidates...best thing you can do is either donate $ or time, and $ is generally easier to come by
in a capitlistic hellhole like the US though...you can't reach 8-900k (average rseat/pop ratio now iirc) without alot of $. was actually part of the reasoning for capping House seats, to curb a previous rise of populism that threatened US political establishment. make campaigning expensive and then you need approval of wider party/corporate (or lots and lots of volunteers, for upsets) interests to even have a shot.
yes, now they can't hide behind some anonymous PAC.
more impressive/impactful is they flipped the governer too. 50+ years of nearly complete republican control gomma take a lot more than that to fix though
when you follow the $, there's a connection between her husband and $ getting funneled to collins. he appears the be the one calling the shots not her
tbf the last critic to be even slightly relevant was roger ebert.
not as bad as wes anderson, atleast
that'll be when they make some special exceptions to IPO openAI/anthrop8c into sp500 from the start like they did woth spaceX.
whose that, the poop emoji guy? /s
i feel like you could fix the worst of it by also upping the deposit required to submit a game. iirc, right now it's only 100, and you make it back after 1000 in sales. if you upped that to say...1k/10k, the risk/reward of ever seeing that $ again is much lower.
