Clown shit. My neighbors are dying of covid and their memelord President is joking about working at McDonald's (not because they're dying of covid, but because he's horrible at BTC investing and has burned $20M in five months.)
It may not be "rocket science," but it isn't something Nayib Bukele is particularly good at. He purchased the largest order of Bitcoin he ever made at the highest price he ever bought it. 420 BTC on Oct.27 at $58.8
Because it's collapsing. Also, your average buy price is still stratospheric (now a little less than $51,056). When you buy all the way down, they call this "catching falling knives," not "buying the dip."
Also, "throwing good money after bad." Already down $18M in just five months at gambling with public money, he's throwing $15M after it. Real smart investor, this one.
Am pretty sure I had covid (didn't get tested but had symptoms and a close contact who did test positive) and the odd thing is that - as a career bartender/service worker - I have absolutely worked through far worse than the symptoms I personally experienced.
I wonder how many vulnerable people I've gotten sick over twenty years because I can't afford to not work.
Also, the sweet old cashier at the nearby pupuseria just passed away. They stayed open even as this wave has been ripping around El Zonte. I never went inside, wore a mask and got my pupusas to-go ever since January 1st. Other foreigners were in there maskless every night.
#LAPD killed again with a reckless, entirely unnecessary high-speed pursuit over allegedly stolen property. And sicko local media, obsessed with covering police chases as entertainment, broadcast it live. (Los Angeles, CA) | nypost.com/2022/01/20/mot…
This is not the first time local television has aired an LAPD execution live, either. Brian Beaird was shot and killed on live tv by #LAPD after a chase in December, 2013.
Milking this "Good Greenwald Gone Bad" narrative is not only more grist for their substacks, it also serves to obscure their own inability to identify a lifelong cryptofascist taking ordinary, right-wing, libertarian (white supremacist) positions for twenty years.
