Feels like a month ago they were spending billions on some AI scheme.

Obviously not when AMD lapped Intel in market cap.

What was even their moat, dependence on TSMC to fab their chips?

Mass transit requires good zoning laws. Government creates problems…

The UK is going to need a functional military then it sounds like. Hopefully hes on that.

Utilize authelia perhaps?

Can the Ai just use rust?

A mistake is maybe just allowing room for evolution to take place?

Well sorry no, I think the stock rises in value with inflation as well. You’re not losing money buying it as its still an inflation hedge, but it only makes a small profit given its margin. I think you need to be more aggressive to actually gain purchasing power relative to real inflation is more the point, and that is the same with wages as well.

This is also how the rich are getting so rich relative to everyone else, the profits come from corporate efficiencies, the efficiency of wages losing to inflation.

Ya you lost me on the socialist bit. I’m simply saying there’s so very little juice to squeeze, you’d be extremely luck to trim 1% off their price, banning credit cards at grocery store would probably be more effective.

If the money supply grows at 8% a year and productivity barely rises that’s just raw debasement in my view, and complaining about an unchanging <4% margin of a consumer staple mainly owner by retired boomers is silly IMO.

According to research everyone should be buying levered positions and staying 100% global equities for life, as an inflation hedge is so important in the casino we call a global economy.

Well if you think its Walmart making people poor you’re mistaken I would say, its QE that really erodes your paycheck. The CPI then does hedonic adjustments and substitutions to mismeasure real inflation to make it seem like you’re not getting poorer.

There are far more trillions in bonds, doesn’t make them high yield investments. Its reality, their margins are less than 4%, so how much can prices fall?

Trump is controlled by the S&P500, it is pretty smart.

Why wouldn’t an illegal be paid less than minimum wage, that’s the entire point of hiring them.

Sure, they had to cheat just to eek out this margin:

Profitability:

Profit Margin 3.07%

Operating Margin (ttm) 4.57%

My point isn’t that Walmart isn’t a scumbag, just that prices won’t fall appreciably even if we did something about it. What’s debasing peoples standard of living is money supply growth, via QE largely.

Its interesting how the left who want a social safety net and a minimum wage now desire illegals and high levels of immigration. Even Bernie Sanders had once called it a plan by the Koch Brothers to debase salaries and undermine unions.

After the inflation it was done in many countries to cease wage pressure, as inflation causes wage pressure via more consumption of goods and high demand, on account of the grown money supply.

By debasing the salaries you entrench the created asset inequality and prevent cost of living adjustments from keeping pace with inflation, which the left then bemoan and call the rich greedy; as if they were the ones debasing their workers salaries and inflating their own asset values.
