re: PLTR Stock

Anyone still in this? I only have 20 shares and I’m up 85%, but considering selling and buying into some of these new plays being discussed. Worth holding on to?
I can’t see the harm in holding. I was pretty disheartened when I sold at $110 and it quickly rocketed to $200. But, I wouldn’t buy it in the current environment. There’s an increasing number of articles from civil liberties groups calling out government agency use PLTR AI by name. I suspect it’s a targeted campaign, and as soon as the wind shifts to a Dem majority, the PLTR contracts will be dismantled in the same fashion as USAID by the Republicans.

Eh, it’s kind of performative at this point to bomb sites digging out for the third time.
Saying you’ll make them glow, or threatening bridge and dam day while also being too meek to candidly disclose you accidentally hit 1 school in 13,000 strikes is the real tell.
It’s hard to escape the TACO tag when this administration is just as worried about the deaths of Iranian civilians as they are American servicemen.

I’ve never seen the first response to someone asked about their opinion of Henry Ford say “He’s a Nazi”.
There’s clearly a performative element to both sides and a lot of background info that wasn’t included in that video.

Same basij that is terrified of their own shadows and have to hide under bridges to escape drones? Those guys are going to be the big bad bully?
I think you proved my point. Those guys are no different than civil servants anywhere else. They just want to collect a paycheck and live another day.
There’s an increasingly wild sentiment that if they aren’t paid, all the people hiding under bridges will suddenly get so angry they want to fight and will revolt against their superiors.

Desertions will become the norm and the regime will soon topple.
Average Basij wage is about $10/day. Spitballing simple numbers, every tanker that pays a $1.5mil toll will fund monthly payroll for 5,000 troops. Given how little Iranians make, they only need a few tolls a day to keep the armed forces paid and loyal to the cause.
Horrible morale is coming. But, not for the loyal with weapons.

Not the plan.
They are moving towards a coup from within the borders of Iran, with a little outside support.
The IRGC would never willingly do anything we want.
No, I think he’s correct. But, I think achieving victory via an economic war is unrealistic.
Just to put things in perspective, the average Palestinian income is $200/mo. vs $600/month for an Iranian. However, the median income for Iranians is less than $200/month, which is the result of a small ruling class that distributes the majority of proceeds amongst itself. 1/3 of the country already lives in abject pottery.
Consequently, you have the decision makers that are insulated from the economics for at least the near term. You have a military that is paid well relative to citizens that already practically living subsistence lifestyles.
The practical indicator won’t be economic collapse, it will be something humanitarian like plague or starvation. The real question is whether the US has the stomach to accept the optics of laying siege and starving a nation into surrender, like the Israelis are doing in Gaza? It seems apparent the IRGC doesn’t think it will.

Your dismissive attitude about buyers remorse being possible is comical. Are you familiar with Cuba? Are you familiar with NYC?
I’m familiar with a lot of things, and I’m unfamiliar with any freedom fighters that don’t view political control as a spoil of victory.
I’ve certainly never heard someone publicly float the idea of handing over power to a once removed exiled family that washed its hands of the matter 50 years ago as some benevolent act of noblesse oblige.

Console wheel support is universally awful and really only works 3-4 games. It’s so absurd that fanatic has the exclusive license for the WRC wheel, yet it’s incompatible with EA’s WRC. It will work with GT7, but only for a few cars since it doesn’t have a keypad.

I’m sure there’s a lot of feel good Facebook profiles too.
It crazy to think anyone is going to risk everything to rise up, and then as soon as they succeed they will invite some bougey remnant of the past who’s lived a peaceful and anonymous life in the US to return and step in to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Low Regime Support: Only about 11% to 20% of the population supports the Supreme Leader and the foundational principles of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.Opposition is most heavily concentrated among urban residents, the highly educated, and the younger generation.
Their situation is the same as Iraq’s, and the Ba’ath party rocked on for 15 years after the gulf war. It wasn’t until the IS invaded that punched holes in the borders that gave people the confidence that they could get families out of country before they committed to becoming partisans to revolt.
Iraq, unlike iran was a secular government. Iran has a social caste system, where your surname establishes your social advancement in life…and it it’s attach to your entire line.
Nobody is wildn the IRGC when their whole lineage will be sent to camps if caught. Until there’s peace keeper that provide freedom of navigation, they will remain subservient.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Once they start charging to prioritize your AI results you’ll begin to yearn for the days of google.

It was the plan all along. I was calling it in here from early in the war. And then after the fact we find out that the Kurds screwed it all up. Therefore the delay is longer than was planned. Probably lost two weeks.
That was always a pipe dream. The Kurds in Iraq finally got breathing room and don’t want any smoke. Trump recently formalized recognition of Syria’s new leader who’s made it clear the Kurds won’t be recognized by his government. Finally you have Erdogan who’s been vocally that he doesn’t want his Kurds getting any ideas from the others.
If the US planned to use Kurds as a key part of the Iranian regime change it would destabilize the political order in the region. Not to mention the last time the Kurds assisted the US it ended with the need for a UN no fly zone to keep Saddam from gassing them again.

I saw this last year. This isn’t their first run in with states for deceptive practices. The fact they have like $200mil sitting on the books means that jingle may be the most profitable tune of all time.
