Hedge Funds and Short Sellers.

This is just the delusions of a deranged man. No country can e perpetually at war. Eventually, something gives way, and there's no way Russia will ever win a war with the West.

Lol... you just proved my point. I never said it was a fact. It would be hard to quantify, but it could be done.

[–] HomebrewHedonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

You're right. You just proved my point. It's my opinion. 😁

A large segment of the population don't understand the difference between a fact, an opinion, and a belief.

Such a great actress!

Yep... every time.

Another example of the rich buying their way out of crimes.

If the penalty for crimes is a fine, the law only applies to the poor.

I don't believe this for one second. I haven't heard anything from the Ukraine administration that would suggest in any way that they are interested in peace talks. In fact, their recent choice of putting a Crimean Tatar as the Minister of Defence suggests that they are serious about taking Crimea back from Russia. I hear nothing but absolute resolve by both the Weat and Ukraine to keep fighting until a Ukraine victory.

I'm not going to do your research for you, but I'll do you the favour and provide this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/real-estate-investment-firms-financialization-housing-1.6538087

We've gone through a very long time at very low interest rates. This means that investors who would normally buy bonds for safekeeping have no choice but to put their money elsewhere. For example, stocks and Real estate.

Due to the free money that we had before interest rates started to rise, stocks were at an all time high but it's not based on fundamentals and higher earnings, so P/E ratios have gotten worse. And there has yet to be a big market correction (that is coming). This makes value investors nervous, but again, there's nowhere else to put the money that gets a good return.

So what would you do if you can't buy treasury bonds and the market is a big bubble? Real estate. Also, the real assets is good to offset any bad bets a corp made in the casino we call a stock market.

So yeah... corporations. All you have to do is follow the money. It's always the same old story. Raw greed and political corruption.

It's definitely corporations. It has been for a long time. I knew that corporations were pushing up housing prices for at least 10 years.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a reliable KVM switch that is capable of doing dual monitor DisplayPort 2.0. I'm looking to do 4k@120Hz. I know DP 2.0 might be overkill, but I just need it to work well.

I have a CKL KVM switch that is DP 1.4. It's supposed to do what I want but my screens keep cutting out when I push the GPU. It could be my cables, but I have a feeling I'm going to need to get a better switch. The CKL brand doesn't have a great reputation from the reviews I've seen.

Any suggestions?

People... it clearly says that it's a Beta. Give it time!

I'm glad to see that there are alternatives emerging outside of corporate hands.
