  1. It's also surprising how many people delude themselves into thinking Wolf of Wall Street is how the system works, rather than a morality tale of degeneracy that ended with the protagonist in prison.

  2. They'll just research you on their own times and call you with an offer, not an interview.

  3.  @danielwanger5919  in my professional opinion, roughly 1 in 8 felonies are punished. Meaning it's possible to get away with a lot, but serial offenders are invariably caught.

  4. Googling... Reports say that party is getting 80% of "campaign donations," it doesn't say it's from Adani.

  5. I ran a fireworks stand on commission this year. I paid my workers the same they'd get at a grocery store and afterwards I did the math and after expenses my pay was comparable a shift manager. I was drawn in by the small chance I'd get 4 times that if we had a good year, but I'd rather work at a factory than run a store. More money, fewer headaches, no insanely long hours.

  6. Or Ponzi schemes or their pretty looks getting them on camera

  7. As God intended

  8. Not all in, but they always bet on green

  9. The oldest retirement plan are children that love you
    47
  10. Statistically the jobs that pay the highest relative to skills required are jobs no one wants to do. I.E. Butcher, plumber, and garbage man. Second place goes to industries perceived as terminally old that are very much not like carpenter, boilermaker, and farmer.
    46
  11. Adani also very vocally supported Modi back when he was a disgraced governor. I initially assumed allegations of Modi's involvement were political propaganda, but now it seems likely.
    45
  12.  @pajeetsingh  To be fair, they banned it because stock exchange officials were inside trading, shorting before delisting and such.
    43
  13. Mute them and do something else on another tab. Then they paid full price for NOTHING
    24
  14.  @grigorkyokuto7546  Average trade job pays significantly above the average wage where the job is offered. Just because you can't get rich doesn't mean the pay is trash
    22
  15. That's why an asset manager should forget alpha gains and focus on maximizing efficiency.
    22
  16. About the company loyalty: The inferior pay might be worth it if you like the job and your coworkers are your friends. I personally bounce around between temp jobs and there is a lot of drama and unemployment involved that isn't fun.
    22
  17.  @christianrosas8917  the game isn't corrupt, you're just wasting your time looking for patterns where there are none.
    19
  18. It's politicized investing. End of story.
    16
  19. That use to be the norm but several things are involved: 1) Having your own house/appartment are a prestige item that most people can afford so they get it even if it makes no sense. 2) Deadbeats often rely on their parents and people avoid that stereotype like the plague. 3) Many Americans end up living far from their place of birth so relying on living in your parents house can limit job opportunities
    14
  20.  @CyrilCommando  Moving up significantly is near impossible no matter what station you're born into. The son of a farmer might own a bigger farm, the son of a businessman might own a bigger factory, but verticle mobility has always been a myth
    12
  21.  @zakkart  vhut?
    12
  22. Either your coworkers are friends they're not. Stupid mandatory fun makes no difference.
    12
  23. A trademen could easily invest in long term bonds and let his children inherit a small fortune.
    11
  24.  @TheGreatWasian_  That's widely exaggerated since all the grunt developer jobs I know of don't pay great. They've even introduced basic coding to high schools and it is unclear how much of the bottom tier work can be automated with machine learning software.
    11
  25. Another thing about VC firms is they seem to be run by people who sexualize wealth. Of course there's a preference for young founders.
    11
  26. We like them because equity funding hides the insane amount of leverage involved. If we can't see the risk, it must not be there.
    10
  27.  @MrLense  heck, a lot of Wallstreetbets guys idolize Martin Shkreli ignoring how he ripped off anyone he could and is in prison right now.
    9
  28.  @meyr1992  Yeah, people who blanket accuse rich people of theft always turn out to be thieves. I know a guy who was deluded that it isn't possible to get rich without crime, and now he's fighting carjacking charges.
    8
  29. Finding good investments is hard. Finding the best investors is impossible.
    8
  30. Does this look like India to you?
    8
  31. It literally wasn't.
    8
  32. Asset managers don't vote on shareholders behalf withoit specific permission to do so
    8
  33. That's over an unrelated matter, though.
    8
  34. I think what you mean is no amount of talent and luck will beat decades of experience and family inheritance
    7
  35.  @ronblack7870  not just young people. Only new tech is exciting. Also, a lot of machinery work is so specific the only training is on the job training
    7
  36. Should, but they also don't because one word: Leverage.
    7
  37. That's a whole different type of bullshit to deal with
    7
  38.  @ParticularlyBaptist  He's talking about bad advise
    7
  39. Yes, but India has the same level of honest as cryptobros
    7
  40. Asset managers favor economies of scale because the overhead is about the same regardless how many zeros you add to them.
    6
  41. Whose fault is that?
    6
  42. What's wrong with that? The reason we have many nice things is because the makers have generations worth of knowledge and equipment. I.E. Most farmers where I'm from have tractors built in the cold war, have houses built in the guilded era, and have land purchased in the 1800s.
    6
  43. It has never not been a thing. Heck, until a century ago it was common for three generations of family to live in one giant farmhouse/townhouse.
    6
  44. Is that your way of saying you've given up on having sex?
    6
  45. That's just a heavy Hindi accent.
    6
  46. Let me break it down: 1. Use shell companies to trade with yourself, buy up all shares, and drive up the share price. 2. Get huge bankloan using shares as collateral. 3. Bribe officials to rig contract bidding in order to buy state assets for peanuts. 4. Pay off the loan and live off the proceeds of other people's labor.
    5
  47. Correction: Tesla was excluded from ESG because of the "governance" part of ESG where there were lawsuits of varying merits against the company while the conventional auto and gas companies were included because they pay their workers well and many ESG funds have a "best in class" appraoch.
    5
  48. Yeah, security managers does this too where they'll invariably argue in favor of more physical security as that boosts their status within the company
    5
  49.  @Peter-du5gw  depends on the trades, though. A lot of big businessmen started out as tradesmen (Sam Walton started out at his father's pharmacy).
    5
  50.  @KTSpeedruns  No, it's an example of everyday people getting greedy. The same people who demanded bankers go to prison were the same people demanding their extended family members buy houses instead of rent. Yes, people were pumping real estate like crypto back in those days.
    5
  51. @fedyx1544  the cost of land and equipment is identical to the cost of starting a business with similar profits
    5
  52. ​@hyperborean9663 and we snort NO2 from a can. No difference
    5
  53. Lose the bull
    5
  54. How much did you lose?
    5
  55. Unarmed security contractors run off the same logic. Literally. They can lower their insurance premiums by hiring a cheap night guard
    5
  56. There's no need to lie in this instance
    5
  57. That doesn't sound like fun. It's like being a collections agency, no one likes you no matter what you do. The difference is a turnaround CEO is paid enough to put up with it
    4
  58. That's vague nonsense
    4
  59. People are never investments, but liabilities. Once you hire them, you have made a commitment to pay them even if you lose everything
    4
  60. ​ @stardestroyer19 well my brother was told to move out because he hated living there but didn't care to move away. Everyone else just got jobs or colleges that made them leave and they didn't come back.
    4
  61.  @LordBruuh  they do get the point across. The movie ends with the protagonist losing everything. Thieves simply ignore all that and use the rest of the story to prop up willful delusions that that is simply how the world works.
    4
  62. No one is robbing you, no one profits from markets going down. Least of all billionaires.
    4
  63. Why don't you save a few steps and simply buy shares in the best companies?
    4
  64. This started in Sweden and is all over the developed world except Russia where there's little consumer lending to begin with
    4
  65. I don't think that's inflation adjusted
    4
  66. CAN hedge. Most use a lot of leverage. And absolute return funds are often more corelated than anyone realizes. Like how in 2020 merger arb went insane with a bunch of canceled deals.
    4
  67. Quality is better than quantity with games. And the most expense of making games is in programming them from scratch so...
    4
  68. Except it isn't their money, but their customers
    3
  69. Not necessarily so, because you see how politicized it can get which can lead to artificially high demand/supply of the service, and such market inefficiencies tend to correct itself all at once

  70. Yes, but most startups are small businesses that want to be big

  71. He got what he deserved

  73. The frick? Why is a house different from anything else? Wheat? Oil? Steel? Grocery stores? Tulip bulbs? It's all just stuff that can be bought and sold!

  74.  @justingarner9293  is he stealing, though?
    3
  75.  @kennedysellers5320  No, he's making money off selling NFTs and books and giving motivational speeches. I hope he's still not scamming, though
    3
  76.  @alexsolomon7991  a scam requires actual lying. A motivational speaker is a waste of money, but not necessarily a liar.
    3
  77. @crimsonfox87fluxule62  Former jailer here: Jail is miserable because there's little to do and everyone hates each other. As El Chapo said: "They torture you with boredom."
    3
  78. Depends on fund type. The giant funds are overwhelmingly macroeconomic funds lead by star investors. These are correlated to the market by definition.
    3
  79. Maybe at some firms, but at most firms no. I've seen places where hiring is done by committee due to local politics creating competing views of who they should hire.
    3
  80. All chiefs, no Indians.

  81.  @broadestsmiler  and it pays the same as trade. Because IT IS A TRADE.

  82. That's what they said when they were your age. It's bull
    3
  83. Luxurious? I know the big houses seem nice to a city slicker but houses are cheap out here. It's just a matter of price skews

  92. I understood it was just a therapist office. What's the con?
    2
  93. @lemon14141  I did, and from what I understand they were paying YouTubers as much as 200 bucks a patient but they haven't done much vetting of these independent contractor therapists. Not (yet) fraud at this point.

  94. Except that was you lending to corporate and not corporate lending to you

  100.  @christiangraff5236  the scam ended with him in prison.
    2
  101.  @deltabeta5527  risk allowed and liquidity required. And BTW index funds have largely replaced mutual funds.
    2
  102. Doesn't matter in this case. Shorting is not allowed in India, but Hindenburg sold short their bonds in the US and bought an insurance plan that pays out when a default is announced.
    2
  103. Uh... You know everything investment related is based on a "pay for the right to borrow" model, right? As in by your logic all loans, apartments, rental cars, highways, restaurant chains, and everything else is piracy.
    2
  104. @schadowizationproductions6205  dude, it is simply impossible to exist in the modern world without participating and relying on borrowing and lending. There's nothing wrong with it, it's not stealing.

  108. ​@user-kj6vk4eh6c no, Vanguard offers exclusively low-cost funds. Their founder Jack Bogle thought seeking superior returns was a waste of time and money.
    2
  109. But they screw themselves over by overpaying. The odds of finding someone to pay equally inflated rent is low
    2
  110. @luisfilipe2023  that is why cashiers aren't paid well since we can just hire teenagers

  111.  @baileymaloney1961  you misread. I only said some jobs pay more relative to skill
    2
  112. Because they are lying when they call things scams

  113. Most corporations are not democracies. Especially ones like Palantir where they have to worry about idiot corporate raiders.
    2
  114. Having done many things myself, I'll say most middlemen are worth their pay simply because the ones that aren't get cut to save money pretty quick.

  128. Influence on the economy? Those guys are trying to encourage their customers to invest in green solutions with limited success. Mostly they just offer cheap investment products and sell to whomever is buying.

  129. @pb25193  that's silly. An entrepreneur, by definition, is NOT working class
    2
  130. Those acquisitions were part of the scam. Allegedly, government contacts rigged bids and changed rules so Adani could buy them for peanuts.
    1
  131. Fun fact: Investing in "vice stocks" like tobacco, alcohol, gambling, and guns beats the market by a small but statistically significant amount. No one can agree whether this is because idiots refuse to touch these investments or because the market is correctly pricing in regulatory risk.

  133. Market cap does not equal money stolen.

  134. Crime brings down the GDP of any economy. I.E. Professional thieves are leaches that destroy in order to profit. Like how in the region I study the government frequently defaults on payroll because a large portion of the national budget is stolen and/or used to fund private armies.

  240. Another thing about Soviet jobs: There was a lot of hidden unemployment where everyone had jobs but managers often struggled to find work for them. This was especially true during the fall of the USSR when often only 20% of a factory was doing anything at all at a given time.

  250. I appreciate your brutal honesty about the cities in question. Where I'm from the cost of living is pretty cheap, but you don't find tech startups out here even though it is the ideal place for it. The firms that take advantage of cheap places are profitable manufacturing firms trying to cut costs without cutting quality, while the "entrapaneurs" only want the most prestigious locations and to spend money as fast as they can bring it in.

  252. @steffenjensen422  Well, unless you count unions and the sales departments of the companies they work for. Such things only makes sense if you're negotiating millions of dollars worth of work. And yes, corporations have a vested interest in finding their employees work since they get their cut from sales.

The cards only charge interest if you have a balance over 30 days and they also collect fees from stores and get paid to promote certain stores with cashback discounts.
