Motherfucker, if I see any foot long moths hanging out on the side of any buildings, I'm not reporting it to noone. I'm wiring that building with enough explosives to blow it up like they did the damn Kingdome. Evil, bloodsucking carnivore satan birds can go terrorize people in hell.

anagramatically speaking

Atlas moth = total sham

Mothpox has a nice ring to it. Let's do this.

@1, You don't want to miss the horror movie made when the Moths and Murder Hornets cross-breed.

Note the snake eye profile faces on that moth's wingtips. Shudder.

@7,

Seriously. It's no wonder Biden's poll numbers are in the tank. If he wanted to garner himself a nice mid-term approval surge, I'd suggest he immediately redeploy all of those Middle East based anti-terrorism drones for domestic use against the goddamn gigantic pterodactyls feeding on our infant children and pets.

@8:

Maybe we could see about renting Godzilla from the Japanese; I hear he's (she's? Where DID baby Godzilla come from???) pretty effective against giant moth attacks.

From the article:
Jake Freeman and his family bought almost 5m shares in the struggling US homeware retailer at less than $5.50 a share in July for a total outlay of about $25m.

I have about $1000 I could throw at a stock and it would hurt, but it wouldn't kill me to lose it. I would have made a profit of about $4000. Great return, to be sure, but it's certainly not $181,000,000. But let's take a moment to appreciate the kind of family has $25m to throw at an "undervalued" stock and really take advantage of those economies of scale.

While you're doing that, I'll leave you with this simple Q&A. How do you make $1,000,000? Start with $2,000,000, of course.

You didn't ask, but here's my advice: Stay the hell out of the stock market. It's not for you and you will lose everything you put into it because it's designed to consume what YOU put into it so that people like the Freemans can win big and then be held up as an example of why you should throw money into it. It is a game for rich folks and suckers. And far-and-away the majority of us are not rich.

@12: Sour grapes? What you got goin' for your out-in-the-pasture years? A pension - perhaps an annuity? Looks like you'll have plenty of time to pout about 'rich folks and suckers' waiting for your social security check.

I would say most of the employed Soggers here have 401ks (and that includes stocks) and a majority of techies are reaping the results their Employee Stock Purchase Programs. Oh it falls, sure it does. But as long term investment, stocks have proven themselves a solid as an investment almost as much as land.

If you don't like stocks, fine, stay out of them. But you're sounding bitter which is pathetic. So if you can't beat them, join them. Open an e-trade account or similar for just $1,000 - which I know you have.

(Stay out of crypto though.)

@12 please feel free to explain how the Freeman's reaping some benefits out of the stock market hurt other investors. Other stocks don't go down because one goes up. In fact there were other investors who probably reaped some benefits too. Now if this was a pump and dump ala Wolf of Wall Street that would be a different story but they would also be in jail for security fraud. As @13 said this sounds more like envy than anything else.

Wow not one comment about Dan Price. The New York Times wrote an actual story on it instead of just a headline.
Have to admit, I thought he was a champion of the people and turns out he's just another fucking scumbag.

@17 Donating money to charity doesn't make one a good person.

People like Epstein no doubt do it to make themselves LOOK like a good person while obfuscating the fact that they are, in fact, horrible people doing really fucked up and terrible things. Epstein was a child rapist and a trafficker of human beings for sex. There is no grey area about what kind of human being he was.

Plenty of rich people donate to charity for the tax write-off. The Sacklers don't give a fuck about people, they don't even pretend they do. They made so much money on the exploitation of human beings, killing who knows how many, all in the pursuit of money and more money and more money and any money they gave away was never about them being good people. It was about power. Power and prestige and money. They are soulless, evil people.

Yes the world is grey and not black and white and yet even in our grey existence there IS black and white. People like Dan Price are not good people. He curated a persona for himself so he would not be seen as the person he really is and that person is not a good person. The grey area you are talking about does not apply.
