Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My smile grew larger with each paragraph.
But I reached near-euphoria with these masterpieces of financial journalism:
and…

If anyone checked the filing presentation they literally put questions marks for their profitability. It was HILLARIOUS.
Before anyone asks, here it is:

Lmfao. Here's a pic for the super lazy.
I strive to be super lazy. I was disappointed after having already clicked the link and wasted an untold number of seconds finding that slide only to scroll down and see it here.
Ha lmao same 🤣
You're doing God's work firewitch/witchfire
Same. It was at least 15!
Jesud christ! That's almost 41.5k years!
Holy goddamn shit, that's not even the funniest part of that! They estimate $3.6 billion in revenue by 2026? What fucking super-adderall-DMT-coke-meth-unicorn-fart drug are they smoking?
If they install a dictator and ban all other social media and also ban not participating in social media, then yeah, that’s actually a pretty conservative estimate.
They even mentioned that they estimated 15M monetized users and 10M recurring media subscriptions. So they're estimating $1.2B per year for the next 3 years of those 25M users. That's $48/mo between those 2 types of subscriptions. In the presentation they directly compared themselves to Twitter who charges $11/mo and Netflix, Apple, Disney+, and Amazon who all charge between $4.99 and $8.99 per month for basic service.
That's AT MOST $20/mo if all of those users paid for both. Which they dont even claim. So a competitive price for a Twitter blue alternative would net them ~$180M and ~$100M from media subscriptions. Where in the world are they getting the other $920M in their projections?
OMG Hahahahaha
No lie told because that is ridiculous
“Big Tent Approach - all are welcome”. 🤣
From page 25 of this presentation:
A graphic shows a Trump post on Truth social that reads.
Which google translates to:
Lorem ipsum is a pretty common placeholder text in publishing, to give an idea of what a font/page layout would look like.
In other words, they thought it safer to use random placeholder gibberish for their presentation, than use Trump's actual shitposts.
TIL. Thanks for the info. I had no idea that was even a thing til now
So they either did not do proper finance analysis or they are hiding numbers from shareholders, neither of which inspire confidence.
Material weaknesses means they "lost" paperwork, right? I'm guessing as that's his only move.
Dunno, I was actually leaning more towards the “indefensible, blatantly criminal fabrication of ‘facts’ of the sort that crumble under even the most casual gaze” kind of material weakness.
Material weakness means you failed the audit, and the firm will not state that the financial disclosures can be relied on.
Look in his bathroom, I’m sure it’s there somewhere.
He does apparently have a habit of trying to flush documents.
And eat them.
Just saying
First one, then the other.
I was looking for its meaning in finance and found this https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/materialweakness.asp
LOL they are fubar
What? No. He’s known to also eat documents.
