The equity structure for these tokens will be that 20% of the project’s tokens are allotted to the founding team, which includes the Trumps, 17% of tokens are set aside for user rewards, and the remaining 63% of the coins will be made available for the public to purchase, said founder Zak Folkman.
I don’t think there’s any guarantee at all that all 63% of the coins “allocated to the public” will be released at first. They will probably release a fraction of that, and the constrained supply will not be enough to meet the demand from the Saudi and Russian governments looking to funnel money to Trump.
So the price will zoom up, and then they will decide whether to sell their own stash or more of the public stash into that surge. The end game is to harvest as much cash as they can from these foreign actors. And if any loyal Trumpists happen to lose their piddly life savings in the meantime, that’s a chance Trump is willing to take.
I'm gonna be honest, this is a stretch. I watched the clip. Whatever he was about to say definitely sounds like it was starting with an M, not an N. The shape of his lips are closed, which you'd see with an M sound and not an N. With the context of what he's saying, it really sounds like he was trying to say "migrant" and "immigrant" at the same time.
Don't get me wrong, this dude's a dipshit for dozens of other reasons. But there's nothing here this time. This really doesn't seem to be worth any amount of energy.
This is the exact same sort of shit conservatives do whenever Biden drops some elderly language. It’s gross, and needlessly desperate.
BINGO. the most frustrating part of dealing with these types of commenters is that they always lack the awareness to see that they’re operating in the same way that the bad-faith repubs do.
There’s so many real examples of conservative racism out there. You don’t need to make up fake ones.
Yep. Like, goddamn. Vance admitted he made up the story. Theres so much racism baked into this ENTIRE news story, that focusing on someone misspeaking is missing the forest for the trees.
“This is just ridiculous, it’s got to stop somewhere. I mean, the governments, the city officials, have got to do something about this. I’m pulling my kids out for the rest of the week at least, if not going homeschool for the rest of the year because this is just… it makes me scared to have my kids at school at all … Something has got to give,” she said.
I have to wonder if destroying public schools is the point or just a welcome side effect for these domestic terrorists?
This would explain why their governor is still on record saying he’s going to vote for Trump. I bet he doesn’t mind having an excuse to send a bunch of state troopers and surveillance tech into a city during an election year either.
The right has been trying to destroy schools since they were founded hundreds of years ago. Secular, public education is an anathema to the racist and religious indoctrination required to maintain right wing communities.
This is very much a two birds, one stone moment for their agenda.
We could spend millions of dollars on making fares cheaper for people, but have you considered we can instead give that money to the police so they can prevent mere thousands of dollars in free rides?
Most americans believe the entire point of transit is to sort people who can afford it from people who cant.
If mass transit is affordable for all it is literally considered a threat to these pathetic people who would means test their own kids before they gave them food and shelter if it was socially acceptable.
I was in NYC recently and the amount of wealthier people who just ubered everywhere (or actually just demanded to own a car and drive themselves in the least car friendly place IN THE US) with no consideration for ever using the subway underneath their feet was pretty disgusting and appalling especially coming from somewhere without magic train tunnels underneath my feet that run 24/7…
Notice all of these narratives run essentially in parallel with a nebulous fear of the subway being stoked by Eric Adams and centrists, they provide a convenient impulse to rationalize taking the easy way out and clogging the streets with another useless car. Kind of like convincing yourself as a kid not to do a chore in the basement because the basement is scaryyyy, I mean look at this video from somebody in another basement experiencing a freak scary incident that would likely never ever happen to me!!!
I live somewhere with free bus transit in the US, and it is shocking how different it feels and yet also how many successful people around me with working cars just categorically ignore the use or possibility of using busses. The US is really really deeply fucked on this point and it makes me feel awful for the rest of the planet having to deal with our horrendous carbon footprints.
New York City has so much potential, but it is utterly ruined by rich conservative money suffocating the city in a chokehold.
pathetic people who would means test their own kids before they gave them food and shelter if it was socially acceptable.
Ahh… I see you have met my dad, who decided only after I called him after having failed my suicide attempt to offer to take me back in after having kicked me out promptly at 18 and then only housed me for 2 months before driving me out to a random street corner and dropping me off saying he had lifted me back up enough for me to handle my own live because I was ruining his “vibe” while having a 3 bedroom house and a job that makes more than half a million a year.
A man who wouldn’t let me get a drivers license because I wasn’t allowed to touch one of his cars and needed to buy one on my own and figure out how to do it by 16 despite his first 3 cars being bought for him by his parents after he wrecked each previous one.
Americans are the worst culture. Truly fucking despicable what they think is sane. You only get to buy how you want to be treated and the threshold for the floor of basic human dignity is more than most of us can afford.
People love to point at crime numbers on the subway but ignore the percentages, like yeah there’s (making shit up , not actual numbers) 15 crimes a day but its NEW YORK CITY thats out of 50,000 rides or some shit. I did the actual math once and it was like 0.005% chance of a crime on the NYC subway, beats the hell out of auto numbers.
“I lied and was wrong but I’m not to blame. It’s the person who tells on me who is to blame. If they didn’t tell on me, non of this would have happened as people wouldn’t have known I lied”.
It’s a typical sociopathic way of thinking you aren’t to blame but instead the person who punishes you / calls you out is. Like, when you robbed a bank, you blame the police for being locked up, not yourself for committing the crime.
Remember: A former president, a current presidential candidate, is unable to take responsibility and accountability for any of his actions. Do you really want someone like that to have control over one of the biggest countries, controlling thousands of nuclear weapons and the mightiest military, while constantly acting in favor of Putin, a dictator and enemy of NATO? Like, the stupidity of this all makes everyone in the movie Idiocracy look smart.
